Imagine having been quiet and dormant as a volcano for years, getting my Facebook account hacked, then coming here to vent, just for the reason I have been mute… It reinforced my belief that I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia you know what I’m saying… Thought broadcasting but it just doesn’t really make… Just make it brief and say…

My IQ test online is 108 to 110 estimated

People with SZ are likely to test as less intelligent than the general population.

  1. ADHD
  2. Autism
  3. Selective Mutism

And now I’m just like… I already called them. I already tried to reach out. Like I heard them telling me I’m not crazy. Like the talking really made sense

Here’s something relevant:

Having SZ is not the end of the world so try not to wind yourself up over it. Just keep a recovery-oriented mindset and do the best you can in the day you’re in. Setting achievable goals and working toward them step by step along with medication and therapy is what I have seen work best for those showing the most recovery.

Cheers.

My positive schizophrenia symptoms are thought broadcasting and telepathy.

This is very common for me. I take 24mg of Perphenazine to calm my thoughts and anxiety over this.

It is psychosis when you realize it and delusional when you believe it.

i think being smart def makes the ideas those people come up with more connected, but u dont gotta be smart to believe things that arent real…people just end up believign different types of things

ive been diagnosed with all these things too except selective mutism but prob could be or some type of talking problem cause i almost never talk

I’m book-smart, but street-dumb.

Schizophrenia doesn’t discriminate.

I used to have thought broadcasting too. It went away with proper medication and a bit of becoming more down-to-earth.

Doctors told me telepathy is a symptom of Schizophrenia

With the help of medication I experienced clear thinking. My brain was working for me and not against me. Instead of my brain constantly reasoning everything is telepathic. I experienced freedom mentally that I haven’t had in years.

Telepathy became a delusion that took over my belief system. This consumed all my focus and energy.

Medication showed me what normal mental functioning is like. I can do whatever I want with my mind and I am in complete control of it. If I wanted to focus on telepathy and prove it scientifically I would be wasting my time and energy. I could try and write a book on it but I would just come to the conclusion that it is a symptom of Schizophrenia.

Believing in telepathy can be a delusion and “experiencing” telepathy can be a hallucination, both are positive symptoms. Telepathy can also be something practitioners of pseudoscience latch onto.

am I out of my ■■■■■■■ mind? I imagine that 22 million people… I even asked and gave the people I was talking to real people and asked them to show them their houses in Google maps. Like what if it is concrete evidence? There is definitely one person out of the crowd that can disapprove his statement. He says that he is god. But there must be someone who knows for sure he isn’t. He just became wildfire. There is no evidence to prove after the disciples founded churches, they just started telling stories on stage. One story the enemy of Jesus tells him must be against him. So he is popular and everyone knows him after what he claims he is to be. What if it is just a rumor loop?

It’s all just your illness leaking stuff that should stay in your imagination into the conscious part of your brain and making it feel real. It isn’t. Once you are stabilized on meds ask your treatment team about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It is what allows me to live within ongoing positive symptoms without them affecting my quality of life too much.
