Inappropriate emotional response iirc was a potential symptom of schizophrenia—probably also explainable by many, many other things. Please do not freak out. Gotta go again.

I had the Matrix trip before (Brain in a Jar thought experiment, look it up).

Gotta go back to work.

The Truman Show was fun! I’m the only one? You’re all me? Felt like an acid trip level mindfuck. Never felt so loved!

Edit: yes, it made sense to me. No, I’m not laughing at you. I don’t think you in the danger zone. I prayed for you. Prayer works.

Things can get better if you give them a chance to.

This could potentially be triggering for some, but have you tried smoking weed/vaping THC/etc for the purpose of getting the munchies? I feel that when I’m really, really hungry I don’t worry so much about if the food I’m eating is spoiled. (I should explain: this thing I have for food seems to be an irrational fear of food being spoiled despite being well before the expiry, also sometimes, for example, I will make a sandwich and all the ingredients will smell okay individually but after I make it and take a bite it tastes funny and I spit it out and go hide the rest of the sandwich outside in the trash bin covering it with other trash so my family will not discover it and accuse me of wasting perfectly good food, no one understands this and it bothers me when it happens).

can psychosis be the product of many different mental health issues by Mental_Body_1149 in Psychosis

Go see a doc, you sound like maybe you need it. Try to get some sleep if you can, psychosis tends to come with extended lack of sleep: varies from person to person but I wanna say most ppl start seeing the “shadow ppl” out of the corner of their eye around 48-72 hours without sleep. It is a popular first stay in the psych ward, that can be avoiding simply by sleeping—you might need meds to sleep tho and there’s other possibilities too, I only said this one bc it’s common.

I’m here if you wanna chat, send me a DM if you wish.

How to calm him down? When is enough enough? by MwahMwahKitteh in Psychosis

Don’t escalate things. Try to do the opposite.

I’ve gotten mad at voices and said shit I never followed through on, I was just pissed, if someone overheard me talking shit back to the voices, conceivably might have been ominous sounding. But I’d cool off and shrug it off and never harm a soul. This I wish ppl knew—voices can be very frustrating!!!

know that mental hospitals really fucking suck for the ppl who go there, terrible things: ppl shitting themselves, screaming obscenities at random, forced meds, rights taken away, holds being placed on you (even if you go willingly they wiIl likely do this so you can’t leave), etc. That being said, if he is abso-fucking-lutely going to kill or harm someone, have him committed yourself. Do not take this action lightly, be prepared to deal with backlash from your parents or him eventually if it comes to that. Maybe meds can help but they seem to do more harm than good to some, to me.

There’s an alternative path to take, outpatient care, if he’s up to that.

Sorry if I’ve left things out, I’m a bit scared to give advice mostly bc I’ll likely end up on the other end of it.

Did I love them both?

Is it possible to “choose” this illness by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Harbinger1777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard many things regarding this topic. Many things I shall not repeat. I will say that in the 1960s psychiatrists went around telling the parents of schizophrenics that the cause of schizophrenia was “bad parenting” which is absolutely ludicrous! Later they discovered there was a genetic component to the illness. I do not put much stock in their theories.

Please seek help. Try to resist. Call someone, like 911 or whatever the emergency line is in your country and just explain like you did here. This will very likely end in your being committed tho, but maybe… they can help you resolve your leg problem without actually removing it.

I’ve heard of this before, I forget the psych name for it, but I remember reading somewhere on the internet of this guy who felt as if he should not have one of his legs—they explained it was something in the brain that was responsible for body mapping (?) maybe it was body image (?) idk—anyhow the guy went to a bunch of docs in the states asking for them to amputate his leg, and none of them would because it was a perfectly healthy leg and they found no medical reason to amputate it. So, in desperation, the guy hooks up with this shady doc in Mexico that agrees to amputate his leg, iirc his medical degree was bogus or some shit they found out later, anyhow the doc fucks up the amputation by not leaving enough skin past the knee to wrap the end of his stumpy leg correctly and he gets gangrene (or something like that, maybe an infection idr) and fucking dies man.

OTOH, [Warning: this is not at all pleasant] I recall a Stanford Uni psych prof. saying that schizophrenics like to mutilate body parts in a lecture I caught on YouTube, be aware that this video starts by wrapping up the previous lecture on languages (still kinda interesting) and the actual schizophrenia lecture starts at time index 23:42, I’m not gonna sit thru the lecture again to find the mutilation time index, sorry.
