Trauma and schizophrenia

Does anyone have schizophrenia caused at all from any trauma? I think trauma and PTSD made me mentally ill. I told a psychiatrist that demons were coming through my electronics and torturing my mind and he said I was seriously mentally ill and I got involuntarily committed.

I’m just curious what other people’s experiences are with trauma, PTSD and schizophrenia.

Well, my OCD somehow caused trauma, only fixed by therapy. But I believe it had a part to play to becoming schizophrenic. That and physical trauma, anorexia.

I think I have some OCD symptoms like I repeatedly go over thoughts every day and experience guilt. I feel stuck in life because of it.

All my trauma came from my schizophrenic symptoms. I had no trauma in my life from any abuse or mistreating me in anyway. And talking to a professional really help me resolve this trauma. I also felt persecuted by things which were actually schizophrenic delusions.

I wish that would be the case for me. Someone told me my trauma memories were a delusion and I don’t believe him but I wish it was true.

I have traumatic history in early life.

Also my own psychosis traumatized me. It was such a horrible experience I was shocked and traumatized by it.

Now I feel fine but I suffer of heavy dissociation. It might be because I have no way to cope with negative feelings.

3 men set a trap for me. As I walked down the street a car pulled up. 2 men got out pinned me against the wall. The car drove up the street. The 2 men broke my left ankle with a sledgehammer. Then they ran up the street to get away in the car. :expressionless: :fearful:

I wondered around London for 4 days in a psychotic episode, not making sense, believing too many things at once. Eventually threw myself in front of a car (I’m fine now) in a failed attempt.

I think that whole experience traumatised me

Sorry about that. This disease is tough.

I’m not sure, i know certain things happened when i was younger that was out of anyone’s control, i also made some horrible mistakes that I’m not proud of, i will be talking to a counselling psychologist about it, a lot of it i don’t want to talk about on here, i wasn’t abused though or anything, my Mum & Dad did their best & i love them.
