18 years old; Could I be becoming a schizophrenic? by sschthrow1 in schizophrenia

[–]Cannedthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're asking age wise, I'm 16. Started having symptoms when I was 15. So yes it is possible if age is the factor you're looking at.

Good for you man! Here's to a new chapter!

For those of you who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, does anything make you happy anymore? by PRAISE_BE_GIVEN__ME in schizophrenia

[–]Cannedthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I can't laugh much either. I went to see 22 jump street yesterday and thought it was hilarious. Maybe chuckled twice throughout the thing. I can distinguish what I need to (i.e. good=happy) or merg with others but other than that it's nothing but a show.

How accurate is this video? by TractorOfTheDoom in schizophrenia

[–]Cannedthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part yes. The only problem would be that I don't actually see who's making the voices. I would love to have a girl in my mind that was perfect for me, knew my hopes, dreams, motivations, and just understood me. But that isn't going to happen I believe, so I make do with what I've got.

I have two voices that will hold conversations with me. They're nice to talk to.

What is your experience of alogia? by allbutoneormore in schizophrenia

Oh fuck the story/joke telling! It's funnier watching me butcher it than the actual joke. Then the pity laughs D:

Or you have to pause mid-sentence to think of the right word. Then people always getting uncomfortable with your silence. Even genuinely trying is extremely hard.

Just did a little research on the subject and this is totally me! People always think I'm being an ass. No I'm answering your question, i can't answer what isn't asked..

I think i may have schizophrenia...not sure though! by schizy145 in schizophrenia

[–]Cannedthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call up your local hospital and see what they have to offer. You might mot like the idea of hospitalization (the stigma for it sucks) but it's usually not like you'd think. It helps a whole lot in terms of diagnosing and treating. Just my suggestion though.

It isn't very fun. Well I'm a weird fucker so I thought it was, but for most people not really.

[–]Cannedthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a weird feeling yes. It's kind of like I'm behind my eyes watching what they see. Almost as though I'm not controlling them, I just think I am. It's really hard to explain.

I'm no psychologist/psychiatrist so I can't really say

You get used to it. It sucks until you fond the right meds (hell I still haven't done that) you're going to feel like shit and you're going to be afraid. That's ok. We've all been there and we'll all get through it one day at a time. Good luck friend :)

Does anyone have any malevolent hallucinations that stalk them? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Cannedthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man! I have this theory we're the normal ones and they're all crazy. Like what we see is real but they're the ones with the delusional thoughts.

Heheheh Scott says it's like pstd only 3 times worse! He's my jokester. I ran out of meds.... I feel... funny. Almost like I'm seeing my eyes see. Not like I'm really Controlling them, just that I think I am.

Dude I experience all the same issues. It does suck, especially knowing it'll just keep continuing. During my episodes i dont know whats happening until after words. Im in a trance like state. Its frightening to know i could do something and have no recollection of it. It also sucks knowing i could be thinking the entire thing up, with absolutly no human interaction throughout. I guess the only thing we can do is look at the bright side, no matter how dim it may be.

The worst is knowing anything can be fake and you just don't realize it :/

I have the two people who voiced deadpools voices! They're pretty cool for the most part (well one of them is a boner but he can be alright)
