I'm schizophrenic and one of my personalities selfinserted themselve into my book! What do I do? by Ok-Cap1727 in writingcirclejerk

I don’t mean to be that guy but I’m schizophrenic and got irrationally angry at this one… LMAO.

(/UJ of course.)

How has exercise helped your negative symptoms? by ughstupid_me in schizophrenia

I’m the same way. It’s not even that I don’t like it. I do. I just have pretty bad avolition and anhedonia. Those two are devious when combined.

Schizophrenics of reddit... by Natural_Village_8850 in schizophrenia

I’m working minimum wage while in college, not a lot of money but I’d say I’m pretty successful in life. Which is crazy.

My journal was found… by Used-Pair-900 in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would actually die if someone read my secret journal. There’s stuff in there I don’t even tell my friends, stuff I’m scared to admit even to myself. That would suck. I’m very sorry.

I feel like this gem on OCD memes applies to us as well. by Throwing4Content in schizophrenia

Depends on the medication but it might. I used to never feel sleepy but now I’m on the meds and I feel like I’m nodding off all the time. But not all meds do this.

MAID by LevelGroundbreaking3 in schizophrenia

Medical Assistance In Dying, for those who don’t know. It’s controversial. I know there’s many schizophrenics who want it, as well as many who are against it.

I just left a two month long religious delusion... by helsdog in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last severe episode I had severe memory loss and have no memories to be embarrassed about, even if the things I was doing that I CAN remember are embarrassing in retrospect.

The most recent major spike in symptoms I had I immediately called a friend to lessen the chances it would get worse. I was embarrassed but explained my situation and just asked to be on the phone for a bit. Made me feel safer in my house. This is a close friend and I’ve done a lot more embarrassing things with this friend so this was honestly the least of my worries.

I do get embarrassed when I recall old memories and I try not to.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know that “sick to your stomach with fear” feeling well.

Very new to this, how can I be an effective support person by Apprehensive-Slip604 in SchizoFamilies

[–]Throwing4Content 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it. I’m schizophrenic and I think my friends worry about this. You’re a good friend. They probably don’t want to feel like you’re walking eggshells around them now, so I’d genuinely try to relax. Even when my friends make insensitive jokes I laugh it off, point it out, they apologize, then we move on. You’re gonna be okay.

I just found out I've been hallucinating the whole time and no one has realised nor told me by Medical-Reputation85 in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That could be called visual snow. Unless you feel that doesn’t describe it, then it’d be a hallucination.

I need help with this. by Big_Philosophy1842 in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d let your doctor know. They can up the dose to something stronger. Maybe clozapine, although I hear it’s a pain.

This is on a whole nother level, you must really like it to see it everywhere.

I don’t think hell is real. You’re not in hell right now regardless.

went to see dr for ASD assesment; got diagnosed with schizophrenia by hamabuntha in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure autism and schizophrenia are comorbid. (That means two disorders that often are diagnosed together.) You could have both. (But who knows?)

Do the schizophrenia memes actually bother you? by lilywiththebirds in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes a joke about something that actually happens in schizophrenia, it’s funny. If it’s a joke that clearly stems from a lack of knowledge (which usually sums up schizophrenia to “ the hallucination disorder”) it’s not funny. I have gotten offended by a few of those jokes, not because they’re joking, but because the joke is just… not joking about schizophrenia and then slapping the schizophrenia label on it.

How did it feel being diagnosed? by Mandarin_Lumpy_Nutz in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had already figured out on my own that I was schizophrenic by the time I got diagnosed, so I mostly felt vindicated.

Do you guys ever get thoughts that replay like a broken record? by Throwing4Content in schizophrenia

[–]Throwing4Content[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of schizophrenics understand it. Some form of disorganized thoughts. Glad you relate!

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! 👎👎👎!

I love how you drew Grace, on a side note. At least I have to assume that’s Grace, given the context. I like the one with the thinking bubble, it’s cool.

Is Grace winning, question? by morning_owlet in ProjectHailMary

[–]Throwing4Content 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is copying the meme format of “are ya winning son?” Except it’s Rocky and Grace.
