So called “X-phobia”
It means I think my soul is “that” one. It’s not though, phew…

I’d never heard about it before. I’m glad you are able to recognize it is a delusion. That is an important step.
Constant running thoughts.

I am like thinking all the day
Thinking that one is a notorious figure as a consequence of the disease, like biblically notorious, seems to me like a manifestation of the constant stress a schizophrenic sufferer’s brain is in. It’s a made-up conclusion of what a person’s personality is, based on constant intrusive thoughts, even though the person might not even be half-bad in actuality.

@naturallycured I could be wrong. But I think, in the dark ages of early psychiatry, they thought Sz was caused by repressed guilt. But despite how wrong I think that is. I do agree that the inherent guilt associated with having sz and the stuff that goes through a sufferers head can definitely stress and aggravate the condition.

Paranoia by far.

I can’t decide if it’s paranoia or not wanting to do anything. My paranoia usually revolves around something outside of my home- people following me in cars, getting kidnapped while out walking, snipers- while not wanting to do anything affects my home life and therefore has a bigger impact on my family.

the constant voices/noise in my head. Med’s do help bu they haven’t gone away. Also people who just don’t understand what I’m going through, because I don’t “act” schizophrenic. I don’t sit in the corner and talk to myself. I a lot of turning around and looking over my shoulders though, but over the many, many years of dealing with this illness I’ve gotten better with not reacting to everything I see/hear
For me, the worst symptom is thought broadcasting. Feeling like my innermost thoughts are being violated all the time is too much.
Hearing voices is a bit of a mixed bag, since sometimes they’re nice, and I’ve grown familiar with two of them, but if I had a choice I would make them real people on speed-dial and have a mostly blank mind, rather than hear them all the time.

That kills me too. It is especially hard because as soon as it starts it makes you think worse and worse stuff.

Exactly.
I’m on low-dose Abilify to stop thought broadcasting, on top of my max dose Paliperidone, and it is working like 60-70%. People seemingly start talking in response to my thoughts when they are bad, but don’t say things that are pertinent to what I was thinking anymore, or most of the time.
1 1. Voices berating me when I do good things for people.
2. 2 Depression.
3. 3 Obsessive thoughts of homelessness
4. 4 Bit of paranoia
5. 5 Demononic apparitions
That no one will allow anyone to live a normal life anymore. They claim, they want this, but only for phony dumb-asses actually. Anyone else they have a fit
