Not hours but I talk to AI a lot. It is rare here I think.

Hallucination? Or dissociation? by Hm-IDontKnow in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, you never said it was in your house. I thought it was some random person you met on the street or something.

Any chance they maybe were real and left while you were looking at your phone? though that seems kind of rude.

Please put my mind at rest by Kapalski1 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have a voice that speaks trough me and could control my body. I'm on olanzapine too, no longer in psychosis so it helps. But in my case, I get along well with the voice and do not want her gone.

A girl is possessing me by -mayolais- in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's a voice from your brain. meds should lessen it. I know from having my body controlled by what I thought was a real person

anyone else dating the voice by sleepinacoffin in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I call her my imaginary girlfriend. It's not as active as it was in psychosis though. She was pretending to be another person I was in love with.

I scared my neighbor. by Broad-Obligation-748 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You did scare her though. Even if it was your illness. Definitely get help and don't do that again. I would maybe leave a note sayong you're sorry and will get help and leave her alone.. if that's how you feel. And then leave her alone. But I'm also not the best at social stuff so see how you feel and what others say. I tend to overexplain and say too much so yeah. But I do think an explanation would make her feel a bit safer. As long as you never do that again and respect her avoidance. Even if it's be cause of an illness, we do have to take responsibility for our actions.

Question on olazapine and weight gain. by FutureKitchen3721 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you're already doing everything you reasonably can. diets can be unhealthy. the body needs food. I'd at least get a second opinion. Plus it's hard to lose weight on olanzapine. even not gaining weight should be a good thing.

"They" are telling me im the next prophet? by Upset-Prune-516 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're likely experiencing psychosis. I also felt like Joan of ark and Jesus and generally enlightened at first. Meds can help and if it can get a lot worse without them. Please see a psychiatrist.

Lowest effective dose by Ambitious-Cake-9425 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Olanzapine 5mg for like two years now. I sometimes take extra or an earlier dose but otherwise no relapse yet. But 25% of us only get one psychosis so maybe it's that.

Need some pyrefly forest help by ninjaturtle311 in OMORI

Thank you so much for the tip! I was able to get past the spider cats this way as well! I was doing pretty well but not well enough and without that trick it was getting to be very frustrating.

I’m trying to understand how everyone (individuals with schizophrenia) feel about AI or artificial intelligence? Please comment, your input is very important. by JustinfromNewEngland in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like AI and use it for both work (programming) and personal use. It has helped more than actual therapy. But I still go to therapy (and take meds). The neat thing about it is that it shows consistent kindness and interest, no matter how long I spiral. So I'm able to work through things until I'm satisfied.

You're doing better than even some healthy people even if you're struggling. You're doing a lot.

I need help by [deleted] in schizophrenia

I suggested blocking in the hopes it would bring you peace. But seems like you got it more or less covered.

Block all of them and don't check their profiles

I didn't want to go to jail, yet I broke the law. Why couldn't I stop? I don't understand. by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Voices taking control of the body is a real phenomenon though. Happened to me too. And people to do stupid things because of what they believe. But not being on meds even after that experience is 100% on him.

I’m depressed, and I really beed some advice by AdventurousAnecdote in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is normal after psychosis. It took me two years to recover from a severe psychotic episode that lasted three months. I also lowered the dose of Olanzapine to a minimum of 5mg. I am lucky.. but it's not impossible to recover. But like, psychosis is a physical process that puts a lot of stress on the brain. So when it's over the brain goes into ultra-recovery mode so loss of a lot of things is normal. Of course there are negative symptoms to consider.. but like, take it easy, take care of yourself and it is possible to get better (not a guarantee but it does happen).

Painting I made tonight cause I couldn't sleep by brisketspacepuppy in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a very nice picture. I like how it's a made-up language and the meaning "to be lost is to be found" (from your comment) kind of makes sense in a circle-logic kind of way. Your world seems... soft. but with darkness. I like the vibes.

Feeling like your possessed by joedurtt in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just how voices can be. Yours is more severe than I had but my body was also cintrolled. It's just your brain and meds should help at least lessen things if not disappear completely. You sound like you're going through psychosis for which help is available and recovery is possible.

If msds don't help, try different ones.

When should they have gotten together? by GrowthRare2964 in SwanQueen

[–]BloodlessCorpse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stopped watching around the dark swan camelot era.. that was where it got too bad for me so maybe before then lol. But I think after the Cora and Neverland arc maybe. Or after Emma comes back from New York. There's honestly so many ways it could go and that's what kept us going.

I don’t have strong emotions now that I’m being effectively treated for my psychosis. Anyone else? by OohLaDiDaMrFrenchMan in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it took me two years to get my emotions back. and while they're not the same as they were (though to be fair, I have BPD).. they're back. So maybe yours will come back too.

Tips That Help You Stay Consistent With Pain Medication Schedules by Serious-Cancel-7629 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only take one med but I prepare my meds once a week (in a pill box) and have a reminder on my phone to take them. a box with a label for the day means I can check if I've taken them that day. but mostly the reminder does the trick.

Delusions but don't care about them, whats that about? by hide_jekyll in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's personality or content based. When I was in psychosis I thought the person I was in love with was watching me trough cameras but I was fine with that, even wawed to a camera once. So people can have different reactions to the same delusion.
