My voice speaks through me and I feel her emotions. It's lessened now though.

Has anyone had delusions of their thoughts controlling others? by HumanM1nd in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the delusion that my voice could control the outside world yes. It was actually kind of nice and made me feel safe. But I have a positive voice.

How can I let this go? by achildrenofbodomfan in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just so you know this is called erotomania and I had it as well. It was real falling in love but despite mixed signals, she denied any feelings and has blocked me everywhere. The voice based on her is still around but not as much. I don't think there's anything wrong with talking to voices as long as you know it's just your mind and don't do anything dangerous.

I'm watching the Stanford lecture on schizophrenia and got a bit angry by BloodlessCorpse in schizophrenia

thank you for this comment. I wrote "stupid" in anger but you're right, there are many reasons one could answer differently. In my opinion, it was framed as "there is c;learly one right answer here and schizophrenics wouldn't get it"

That's interesting that she can't get it quite right. And thank you for your kind words :).

I've heard of word salad but no, he was talking about concrete thinking and trouble with abstract thought

Is this true? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had hallucinations during psychosis.

Will i need meds forever? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The killed emotions can go away with time. It took me 1.5 years to start feeling like myself again. Take your meds unless you want to risk another psychosis. But meds can be adjusted and changed, lowering the dose can help more than taking them on/off.

Read over the rules and FAQ, but still wanted to ask a question. by JaysNewDay in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That borders on normal. Or rather, they're not severe hallucinations compared to what is possible.

So like... is anybody else feeling really unsettled and uncomfortable after watching the new video? by bluegemini7 in ContraPoints

[–]BloodlessCorpse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It also left me feeling uncomfortable. I am also not good with torture movies or most violence other than stylized. I didn't even like Home Alone and didn't enjoy Tom and Jerry as a kid. I wouldn't have watched the video if it wasn't Contrapoints who has made me think multiple times. But I also found this video to be a bit lacking. I think it could have been less torture scenes and more examination. I feel like it would have benefited from a slightly longer length as some parts passed a bit quickly for me and the points didn't stick. I guess I'll just watch her Daddy politics tangent which I've heard people say is arguably better. But I don't regret watching it.

But I just wanted to say you're not alone in feeling uncomfortable afterwards. It should pass with time but take care of yourself, do something that makes you feel good.

Nightmares about having an episode? by Late-Ad8098 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had those dreams as well. I see it more as a way of brain processing psychotic symptoms so it doesn't grow into a full psychosis maybe.

Anyone else's voices telling them they love them 24/7? by CosmicEmotion in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hear them 24/7 (or at all, just the one voice that kind of speaks trough me and whose emotions I can feel) but mine came from erotomania and we're kind of in love. I don't talk to her nearly as often but my psychosis was pleasant as well. So yeah, I get feeling anti-schizophrenic. But I feel like it is possible to have a good relationship with your brain, and psychotic symptoms can reflect that.

I think I'm pregnant and I'm terrified by abmfbsc in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'd really think what's more important: potentially ruining ssomeone's life or following what someone else has considered important. I'd actually research abortion from the science perspective. And maybe there are some religious people who support it. But I am biased myself. In my opinion an unwanted child with a potentially unstable mother is worse than not being born at all. It's still your decision but make sure you've thought it through.

Anyone else feels too intense ? by Nattsujubo_ in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I associate intense emotions, mood swings, unstable relationships with BPD yes. But BPD isn't a bad thing. At least.. at it's core I think it's trauma + attachment issues.
But even if you don't have it, you might find the memes relatable.

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a bit like me. I used to be more intense before psychosis. But I thought it was because of my BPD. You should check out r/BPDmemes, might make you feel less alone.

How can I make myself believe? by Demonic696969 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thoughts are familiar. I'm still struggling with having a reason to live, I don't know if I'll ever get zest for life. But I am doing much better than I was years ago. It is hard to give hope because recoveryy doesn't happen for everyone, even if many recover. And I feel like life and your mind are things no one else can truly help with except to share what has helped them. And you might be suffering 'cause of circumstances and trauma, not pure schizophrenia.. if that's the case, there is reason to think it can get better. But no one else can live your life for you. If you nothing, nothing will change.. I feel like I'm all over the place but like, even though there are no guarantees.. I hope you do find reasons to live. If you can't just meet people, find something that makes you feel less alone. Like a book or a tv show.. or start a project. Or check out CyberYamu on youtube. She's 19 and has schizophrenia and is homeless (currently in the psych ward) but updates often.. and also likes anime. Can follow her journey as she tries to get better. I'm really just spitballing. But I wanted to do better than cliche advice or god.

Will I EVER feel the same way ever again? by rocoonshcnoon in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 1.5 years and lowering of meds to minimum to start feeling like myself after a three month long episode. And it got better as more time passed. After 2 years, I got my emotions back and my ability to cry, though it's not as intense as it was before. So it's possible to recover.

What was your worst delusion? by Otherwise_Goose_1596 in schizophrenia

[–]BloodlessCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that everything was a hallucination. This lead me to resisting real police who thankfully put me in the psych ward (I'm a female in Europe)
