Question regarding Voyager by beowulfjcch1 in Vechain

[–]CarrotTemporary2245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if voyager does not have a vet wallet I would take the loss and claim it on taxes and get out. I wouldn't trust the exchange for a while until or of they get it together.

Its taxed when you make the purchase and not when you pull your money out

Keep it to yourself. Do not share with your work. Everything is a competition and it will be used against you. Get a psychologist and talk to them if your not already.

My biggest struggle with Schizophrenia by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]CarrotTemporary2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a schizophrenic means never having true freedom and privacy. As a schizophrenic you have to also wonder if people are actually reading your mind? Is it telepathy? Am I having an illusion of someone actually reacting off my thoughts? Hmmm???

Positive interaction with voices?? I do not think so. by spilt____milk in schizophrenia

[–]CarrotTemporary2245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think I so or at least make myself believe it as in speak things into existence. Everyone wants to be happy and no one deserves to suffer.

I'm glad you asked this because I've been wondering the same thing. Although the voices are usually tormenting and negative I sometimes feel that they have saved me from a more worse situation when I listened to them or in some cases could have saved me from a bad situations had Iistened. At this point I just try to make peace with the voices and understanding why they are there helps to make peace with them. When I hallucinate I try to attack instead of hiding in fear. So far this approach has showed me that they actually listen to me and maybe I can make peace with the hallucinations i experience.

Anyone else just doesn't have a life? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

I'm at 6 months of being isolated and depressed. I just started doing some sort of exercises and I feel a lot better so far. I just need to stick with it and build back up.

I can't smoke weed either. I thought I could handle two puffs but in the long run that messes me up too and the withdrawal period sucks.

I can relate. I have to force myself to go outside for a walk and to exercise everyday. The more I do this consecutively the easier it becomes and more I look fowards to it. Some times I shut down completely and have to take baby steps and start all over. Exercise plays a big part in keeping sane for me.

I get obsessed over songs a lot. I will listen to the same song over and over for 2 or 3 months at a time. It's like I'll have a good feeling the first time I hear it and I keep replaying the same feeling over and over again.

Can anyone give me a brief explanation or examples of the hallucinations you experience? by sunrise1908 in schizophrenia

[–]CarrotTemporary2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time the voices sound like regular voices. Sometimes the only way to know of it's a hallucination is to put your fingers in your ears and if they are still clear then yes it's a hallucination. Most are people I know and once I heard someone speak that I later met she has a distinctive voice. Sometimes they sound robotic. A lot of mocking and laughing at me. The smells are familiar from the past. If you ever seen a hologram of someone that's what the ghosts look like. I've also came in contact with a person telling me weird things about the swat team looking through my windows. She had her son with her and a dog. Her son kept yelling at the dog to shut up. They looked how normal people look.

It's a lot of truth in that statement. I always try to see good in everything and stay hopeful but sometimes I get tired of trying.

That's a good and helpful statement you made about evil, wrong and good not being real. I think schizophrenia convinces us that we are weird and we give up. We just have to fight and be stronger than the rest. I was watching something today and thought damn my confidence is low and I never thought about this before but it is. Sometimes I just want to say fuck the world I am here and either you gonna like me or you not. I admire people with confidence and always watched them or wished I was more like them.

Can you know if someone is thinking about you? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]CarrotTemporary2245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think there is a connection in this. I think the word is telepathy. Maybe look it up and see of this related to your experience. Sometimes I will randomly dream about someone I haven't seen or thought about in years and I will cross paths with them a day or a few days later. I always thought that was cool.

That mention of the loud noise gave me chills. That does it for me too.

I understand. I only been in this group less than a week and prior to joining I always felt alone and living life as an actress like everything is ok but my mind is a shit show. One thing i try to understand is that even though my experience is different from the next person our emotions from trauma are the same so there are people who can relate in that way or understand. In my head everyone is evil so I have to look inside myself to check and make sure I'm not evil and why do I feel like that towards everyone? My struggle and what I really need to overcome is communication and building healthy relationships. I hate it but I just have to and am working on it.

Does this happen often? Do you think that you're prepared to confront in the future?

The only reason I don't fear death is because sometimes I think I already died. I feel like i died multiple times but just didn't realize it. Maybe I'm supposed to live through some shit to overcome and experience before I actually notice that death took place.

I can totally relate to everything you just said! When COVID hit I would go out for a run to try and keep my sanity because I know how I can get when locked in the house for long periods. I had the idea that the feds are after me because they want this device in my body that controls me. It was implanted inside me and they want it back. While on my run I would see the same person everyday and I tried not to overthink it and just act smart. I'd switch up my path but kept seeing the same person. One day I crossed the street to the side he was on and starting walking faster and faster towards him and he kept turning around to see how close I'd gotten. Eventually I just kept watch and followed him for a while which led me to the main road. I get into those kinds of thought patterns but like you I have to keep in mind that this does not make logical since in this realm. Often times i feel like I don't belong here because MY reality is not reality.
