I can't get over how brave you are. You're so mature for your age also... you're very bright & have a lot of potential bundled up in you. It's refreshing to see that you've just accepted your lot & the cards you've been dealt & are just getting on with it. Don't feel too bad about it, it's just a part of the human condition. I do hope you're well these days as you havn't posted for a while. Look after yourself. Try & take regular exercise & never forget that you're family (& all of us on here!) love you.
Don't let schizophrenia define and amplify you. You are a young beautiful lady. You are an artist who has courage to explore this world. The more you stress the fact you are schizophrenic the more it defines you.
Hey, my mom has had this disease since she was kid. I plan to show her your video. You give me hope I can get her back to where was. Happy. This sickness truly does happen to those that deserve it the least. Breaks my heart. People like you help give hope and make it better. Hang in there.
its good to see your doing so well in this video looked like you were at your optimal i hope its still going well and/or your staying strong and i wish you the best of luck .
I have schizophrenia, I just want to say how brave you are! I've had a lot of the same things happen to me, you can do anything you want! I have delusions that a lady that I know is trying to kill me, I'm terrified of her, but the thing is, she's really nice. My mind can't see that. Hang in there, you're going to do something good to this world
Emily you are beautiful! No one would even know the challenges you face. I’ve had severe OCD and Anxiety since I️ was 9 years old. I was put on Seroquel for a few months also to just stay calm. Im so happy you’re willing to share about your life. Feel free to message me!
I was privileged to have a highschool mate with your level of talent (I checked out your instagram). For you it's natural but it's unbelievable to compare to anything else people are capable of. I can only say College does you a favour, and I don't believe it deserves you either. Higher Education should serve you, independent of the fact that it being demanding is very useful for students, but surely not in the form of deadlines and all other highschool-level carnivals. I admired him so much that I planned beforehand to pick up and take home a piece of paper where he drew a scene in 10 secs out of boredom and tossed before end of class. So I did, and kept it for couple years after highschool. Your talent is the one kind of thing that absolutely stuns me. For me nothing come close. As for your health... you know what you're doing better than many people your age would. You're awesome.
This requires a lot of balls to make videos like these ! Big respect for you Emily ! :) I'd kind of hope to see more of your videos, but you do what you feel is best for you :) Best of everything to you ! :) hope you're doing well
I've read that a precent of people manage it so well that it does not manifest whatsoever, hope you'll be one of those people. Also the upside of this is that you'll be very creative and have a unique view on the world, so that could help you in your career as an artist. Good luck, and stay positive and strong, there must be a purpose and reason for everything.
Hi Emily! I've known a girl with schizophrenia and bipolar for about 15 years so I am quite used to it. She actually has gotten better but she has "episodes" now and then but they also seem to become more distant (SOME of her meds was NEVER good for her condition). She drank quite a lot before but can't anymore due to becoming psychotic from it (and almost the only time I get SEVERE depression is if I had too much to drink and I have chronic pain "only" - no other "issues" other than the occasional ordinary depression and anxiety due to obvious reasons... being in pain 365 days a year is as "fun" as schizophrenia seem to be like). I hope you are doing OK and I hope you upload a new vid soon and some more of your amazing artwork!! :)
Few years ago I had hallucinations and voices. I was most of the time alone and I was depressed, stressed, sad and confused, slowly started to lose a grip on reality and it felt like I was going mad. My parents left me on my own they had too many problems already, so I had to fight on my own. To this day I remained depressed, asocial, alone and in deep anxiety + I have a habit of talking to myself when Im alone...I did stop hallucinations and voices on my own, never used drugs for it, just had my mind set on 'dominance' within my own head. My question is, have you experienced lucid dreaming? Btw if you need a friend, someone to talk too, I will gladly hear you out. Have a nice day!
Hey Emilie, I'm from canada and I too suffer from mental health issues. Personnally, I'm struggling with depersonnalisation/derealization disorder which I had already developped symptomps of when I was young but what really sparked it for me was when I started messing around with high doses of LSD. Since the trips (which I can't do anymore or else I go into complete psychosis), I feel like I'm constantly looking at a movie through my eyes also I feel like I am not in control of my body and my motions and sometimes (on bad days) Im so dissociated from my body that I can't even recognize myself and it won't go away until someone notices me... Anyway I just wanted to say that I love your content, it helped me understand that I am not alone and that really helps me get through each day. I truly wish you the best and hope to hear from you soon!
GOOD ADVICE - ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING EVERY DAY :) Honestly, the best thing you can do is make something every day. Whether it be designing and making a new dress, or buying a plastic car model from a hobby shop and building it, making things is a good way to counter what you were going through. Poeple feel better when they know they are accomplishing something good. Making something every day not only helps you develop good hand-to-eye coordination, it also helps you better distinguish between what is real and what is just an imagination. One good choice is to make little items and sell them. You can buy little rubber molds online from any moldmaking supply house. You also buy the material to pour into the molds, which can range from sandstone to plastic to rubber, even concrete for the larger molds to make outdoor items. You mix this material with the hardening liquid that comes with it, then you pour it into the rubber molds. When dry, you remove the little items and then you paint them. You can then sell these items on ebay or open up a website, which is very inexpensive to do nowadays. You might be able to turn it into a real business that brings in enough money to live on. Everyone feels much better when they are productive, when they know they followed the directions properly and created something real that has value they can sell. :) Have you ever seen a Hummel figurine? These can fetch quite high prices, sometimes thousands of dollars for a single figurine. The expensive ones are often old, which is what makes them rare, but even figurines being made today which resemble Hummels are purchased by collectors. What you could do, is use Sculpey clay to fashion your own miniature figurine, one with an attractive appearance like the old rare ones. Bake it in the oven for 20 minutes to harden the clay, and make a rubber mold of it to cast 10 or 20 of your figurines. You then paint them nicely and sell them on eBay. There are so many things a creative person like you can do. Here's a video showing how to make a rubber mold of an action figure; Mold and cast an action figure ( or anything ) // How-To by I Like To Make Stuff Published on Feb 27, 2015 ua-cam.com/video/jZSMWmevFBo/v-deo.html
Hey Emily :) I've really appreciated your videos and how thoughtful you are in the midst of all you're going through. I actually wanted to reach out to you because I have recently found something that has really helped to clear my thought processes. I've actually been drinking pickle juice! It's helping rejuvenate my mind and body and I'm actually starting to think much more clearly lately!
Hey! I think u are so very awesome. First off, I have some of the same symptoms you have were the voices try to make me feel paranoid. One thing I can say to help u is remember the voices are from another source they do not come from your brain. And just no there is no such thing as fake hearing something. If u hear something then something is making a noise. It's not like seeing thangs were your eyes can play tricks with because of different reasons.
it gets less hard as time goes on I have suffered on and of for 10 years now . it started when I was your age you never really get over it you just get used to it and are eventually able to ignore the delusions .
Hello!! My question is... how do you feel knowing that a load of people supports you? Greeting from Mexico! I just turned 17 too haha. Ps: wanted to say you're so brave and I admire you.
Micander Drogue Hi Micander, Why would you say "please dont"? I'm trying to understand ..actually I need help in understanding...I'm trying to figure out how to be around a dear one diagnosed with schizophrenia. The comment u responded to - what in that needs to be changed?
Yea I hope she is okay! I wonder if she is on meds or what? I hope she is okay. I don't like it when people hear voices. Hearing voices is so damn stupid and horrible.
Hi, I hope you're doing well. My mum has had it since I was a kid. If I could share one thing it would be that over time you will find a balance, especially as you're young right now and your brain is still forming in certain ways . As you get older things should start to become a bit easier over time. My mum's mediciation got to a place many years ago now where they figured out the best type and doses for her and she's been able to keep to that routine and manage it quite well since. If you ever need to speak to someone or are worried/scared then always go to that one person who you know you can trust. best friend/parent. Let them now what you're feeling and if they can see something in particular is related to your ilness then it is easier to acknowledge it being confirmed from them, rather from someone it may make you distrust at the time. Every so often a strange idea or a little bit of paranoia will creep in and getting my mum to talk to me about it and then being able to conirm to her that it isn't fact but something related to the illness helps her a lot, as she knows I can be trusted and also remembers conversations we've had in the past about other things she was able to see were false after discussing it.
nice channel .. inspiring.. i got issues too depression and anxiety . i accepted it , a lot easier than denying it or pushing it away.. it makes me numb about it. and function more even when im depress.. ,, if you incounter haters or trollers ignore those ,, theres a lot of them in youtube.. god bless.
I had sleep paralysis twice in my life. I also had the feeling that someone was in the room with me and thought I was in danger of being killed. Never happened since then but I’ll NEVER forget it!
You are so young but it is good that you've been diagnosed early. Thank you for sharing your story and your Art work. Your pieces/artistic expression is pretty cool and it is a blessing and a curse to have mental health issues. Like you, I feel blessed with the creativity - not everything that arises from my mind is distressing. I wondered if you thought about your future in terms of managing your illness? Are you having some type of support/therapy to help you accept and manage the schizophrenia? Keep sharing if you feel comfy...Like an elder here on the net -as you know, be very careful about what you share on here and I would encourage you to develop a safe distance from the www. Maybe taking hiatus to focus on your Recovery for periods. I say this because the www is not always the best place to be when you feel paranoid, anxious or whatever. At the same time, the www is a valuable space for relating and breaking barriers/isolation. Sorry if I sound patronising or whatever, just trying to look out for you.
I’ve had a couple episodes of psychosis. The delusions were the worst. Had one that the world ended. And people were trying to kill me. And one time I had to go to the hospital. While there they were going to give me a shot of antipsychotic but I was having a delusion that the thought I was a dog and was being put to sleep. Do you get anxiety?
Are you worried about how Schizophrenia will effect your future? are you worried it could eventually break through your medication and become an every day part of your life? are you worried it could eventually get so bad that you may lose yourself? lose who you are as an individual?
Hi Emily. I'm happy to hear your medication is helping. I hope you continue to be happy and healthy. I was wondering if you think you will continue making videos for awhile? Also I see you make art. Do you have any other hobbies or things you enjoy doing?
I was on serqual it was terrible it made me much worse now I am lamictal I think if I didn't have meds I would be completely unable to function I hope you are doing better your videos are very helpful ♥️
It's so annoying finding videos like these and feeling so related to you, I wish I could hang out with you but anyways... I hope you're doing well and feeling better as the days go by (:
Hello Emilly, you are very brave doing these videos, thanks for making them. I have a question, when you have an episode, do you know that you are having one?
I think she's a very pretty person and has to really focus on being positive, and fight with all your heart to rid any demons? And think of what's your hearts desire and strive and accomplish your goal! Though I don't know you, you will now be part of my daily prayers. And you have a very Good gifted talent, your art! I really love it. It's my passion. You should delete all those comments that keeps you trapped. Don't mind my post picture, it's my way of expressing all the negative crap in our crazy world.
I've had it many times years ago but for some reason I somehow learned to control it. I would get it and not have the ability to move but for some reason I can keep myself calm by knowing that I'm having sleep paralysis and I don't get that entity thing. But the first time I had it was more terrifying than anything that ever happened to me.
You said you weren't ready to let your friends in on your Schizophrenia, what worries you most about your friends knowing about your Schizophrenia? are you worried they may not want to remain friends? are you worried they may treat you differently? are you worried they may feel sorry for you and do things out of pity because of it?
Emily You are a brave girl with guts to mention that you have this disease and comment what you feel. In my case I developed the schizo 6 years ago due to a kind of progressive epilepsy. I regret to say that I live in a country with many people who are not well educated (lives in ignorance) and the worst of all is that if I tell this disease explode gossip full of toxic words in the neightborhood...
Hi, I'm pretty sure my wife has schizophrenia but I can't get through to her about it, she's 61 years old, can you help me think of something to say to her to at least get her to a doctor, I've tried everything I can think of.? Its ruining our relationship..
You obviously don't have to answer that but I wanted to ask just in case I'll interact with you/this channel more Do you have any triggers that you wish people would be cautious about? Also, I love your videos! Don't worry at all if they get too short or too long, both short and long videos are very fun to watch
Will you tell us what stress situations might have given you schizophrenia (5:00)? Was it death, abuse, car accident, or what? I just know sometimes that life is hard, and our brains try to find ways to cope with what is happening -- where we can stay "as sane" as is possible given the situation/s that we are faced with. Again, love your channel. Please, keep making videos ...
I would be very interested in hearing how you perceive love/being loved. Have been in relationships? Are you now? And what is it like to you? Obviously these are very intimate questions, so don't feel obligated to anyone to share this.
hey im on seroquel too!! i'm diagnosed bipolar 2 but i told my therapist about how ive been seeing / hearing / feeling things that weren't actually there since i was younger and she says i might have schizoaffective. & that's why none of my meds have worked so far. im really nervous that i might be diagnosed schizoaffective when i tell my psychiatrist. i really dont know what to do & ive been having so many breakdowns lately. have any of you ever felt like this???
I have a question my daughter is 15 and her boyfriend I believe is showing signs of schizophrenia but his family is in denial is there anything I can do to help him or his family get him the help He needs?
It's a shot in the dark but I thought I would ask anyway. Have you ever had supernatural events or abilities linked to your condition? Clairvoyance for example. Maybe a premonition from whatever you are experiencing at the time, whether it be auditory or visual? I'd really appreciated if you could answer this question and it would help me out greatly.
if you having bladder problems you want to drink a lot early you need to drink half your body weight in ounces' divide your weight and drink that many ounces you want to strengthen your bladder and have a small amount of pee in it when you sleep so it can hold it in better so drink the daily intake of water that i just explained early and drink small amounts when its late but work on drinking none but you will get thirsty
How do you escape from your own thoughts? The loops in your brain creating insane thoughts and putting you in panic state? The voices you heard from people while talking with each other How do you escape from the voices in your head? Telling insane about who are all you see in public Tell me
Hi and thanks I can totally relate to what you've experienced I've been schizophrenic diagnosed fourteen years now and I've been of meds til just recently but lately with me returning to my hometown I've had psychotic episodes something mean so like I'm back on meds which are kicking in like right now zopiclones sleepers so like I thought I'd leave a nice comment to help us both feel a bit more happy. I've been struggling the entire time with psychosis but I seem to be alive n kicking there are times when I just wanna end it all but I have a few kids I'm father of so my mind is telling me to keep going pushing through the storm and educate so in the future when I'm not around my children will always look up to me especially in Heaven I'm their superhero. Thanks I'm going to sleep now and have sweet Dreams
Hi Emily! Did you paint the lion in the background? It's awesome! The colors are so bright and beautiful! Someone mentioned it already, and I second their opinion: you should make a video about your art, if you do happen to draw or paint. Just a thought, just a thought! Have a good one and cheers! :D
I know you get this a lot but i have to say it... you are beautiful! I love your eyes and also that majestic lion painting behind you. I would like to know, what kind of music do you like and what your favorite bands are... love your videos :) hope you make more, im really looking foreward to that. Well, hope you are doing fine and, obviously we dont know each other but you can count on me if you ever want to talk or smthng... i have chronic depression, so been through some hard times too... i know it may not be nearly the same, but bah... just wanted to let you know heres a pair of ears and eyes if you ever want to talk o write.
I hope this isn’t too weird of a question but when is your birthday? I noticed were the same age and you said your b day was a week before this vid and it was posted in august. I have schizophrenia too and I was also born in august :)
🎨📖✨ you speak wonderfully and you are a talented artist. I'm sure you could be a talented musician too what kind of art and music projects would you persue?
I just watched all your videos I’ve been smoking non stop since I was 12 I think this postponed effects for me until I was put on probation and the manias hit like fuck I got PTSD the entire world was revolving around me I thought me and this girl were like aliens in a video game meant to meet and I though all the delusions were reality bending to help us meet smh.. and then I looked up psychosis on my phone and in the article a starry night painting came up and in the next snap she had the same picture over her head 💀 and it just happened again lol
hi, well thank you for sharing this - its something that I did not really understand, because it is rarely spoken about. But it sounds to me like you are having paranoid thoughts - whereas i thought schizophrenia was where people become different personalities. Do you have talking therapy, is there someone who is helping you to understand that these paranoid thoughts are not real? I mean if I get an upsetting worrying /paranoid thought I can (9 times out of 10) control it by trying to come up with the most positive /calming thought and It helps to change my mind and it has a calming effect on me. Does that make sense? Sorry for rambling. I just think that we can train ourselves to be more positive and more resilient. Best of luck, I hope you are feeling better - you're right I think there are many undiagnosed schizophrenics.
Canyoudigityesyoucan Multiple personalities and schizophrenia are not the same thing. The multiple personalities is called Disassociate Identity Disorder. Meaning they take on different personas in order to cope with triggers and then have no recollection of that time because the self they identify with doesn’t recognize the persona that was present during that time. Schizophrenia is suffering from hallucinations and delusions which can cause paranoia. But I believe this is just and overstimulation is parts of the brain most of society isn’t tapped into yet. Times are changing though, we’ll get there :)
That Lion in the background is you.
Your hair looks like the mane of a Lion.
I can't get over how brave you are. You're so mature for your age also... you're very bright & have a lot of potential bundled up in you.
It's refreshing to see that you've just accepted your lot & the cards you've been dealt & are just getting on with it. Don't feel too bad about it, it's just a part of the human condition. I do hope you're well these days as you havn't posted for a while. Look after yourself. Try & take regular exercise & never forget that you're family (& all of us on here!) love you.
Don't let schizophrenia define and amplify you. You are a young beautiful lady. You are an artist who has courage to explore this world. The more you stress the fact you are schizophrenic the more it defines you.
Keep uploading! Your videos are helping my feelings.
Also I want to wish you a great belated birthday!
Hey, my mom has had this disease since she was kid. I plan to show her your video.
You give me hope I can get her back to where was. Happy. This sickness truly does happen to those that deserve it the least. Breaks my heart.
People like you help give hope and make it better.
Hang in there.
Your lion has a personality and your brave for voicing the condition. Thank you.
Emily, how have you been? Its been three months since your last video, so just checking on you. Hope you are well sweet girl!
I love that your videos arent edited. Youre an amazing person, I hope youre doing okay
Welcome back! it's all good to see you again! glad you enjoy your birthday!
Your art is great. That's all I really have to say :P Keep working on it, nothing better in life than being really good at something.
its good to see your doing so well in this video looked like you were at your optimal i hope its still going well and/or your staying strong and i wish you the best of luck .
I have schizophrenia, I just want to say how brave you are! I've had a lot of the same things happen to me, you can do anything you want!

Thank you for your videos. I was just diagnosed with Schizophrenia on March 9th 2018. So your videos help me to not feel alone.
Few years ago I had hallucinations and voices. I was most of the time alone and I was depressed, stressed, sad and confused, slowly started to lose a grip on reality and it felt like I was going mad. My parents left me on my own they had too many problems already, so I had to fight on my own. To this day I remained depressed, asocial, alone and in deep anxiety + I have a habit of talking to myself when Im alone...I did stop hallucinations and voices on my own, never used drugs for it, just had my mind set on 'dominance' within my own head. My question is, have you experienced lucid dreaming? Btw if you need a friend, someone to talk too, I will gladly hear you out. Have a nice day!
Haven't posted on ig or youtube in 5 months, hoping you're well & just taking a break from media.
I'm not doing well and it's all your fault.
Posted a week ago :) new vid
Hi Emily. Just wondered how you're doing. I stumbled across your channel accidentally and watched your videos. Hope your good :) x
Very courageous of you... May you always find comfort & healing.
Hey Emilie, I'm from canada and I too suffer from mental health issues. Personnally, I'm struggling with depersonnalisation/derealization disorder which I had already developped symptomps of when I was young but what really sparked it for me was when I started messing around with high doses of LSD. Since the trips (which I can't do anymore or else I go into complete psychosis), I feel like I'm constantly looking at a movie through my eyes also I feel like I am not in control of my body and my motions and sometimes (on bad days) Im so dissociated from my body that I can't even recognize myself and it won't go away until someone notices me...

Hope you’re doing ok, subscribed to you then found out you haven’t posted in 7 months. Stay strong. Much love from Illinois.

Happy birthday and thank you for your information and honesty around your personal experiences too
it gets less hard as time goes on I have suffered on and of for 10 years now . it started when I was your age you never really get over it you just get used to it and are eventually able to ignore the delusions .
Hello!! My question is... how do you feel knowing that a load of people supports you? Greeting from Mexico! I just turned 17 too haha.
Ps: wanted to say you're so brave and I admire you.
please don't
Micander Drogue Hi Micander, Why would you say "please dont"? I'm trying to understand ..actually I need help in understanding...I'm trying to figure out how to be around a dear one diagnosed with schizophrenia. The comment u responded to - what in that needs to be changed?

Let them now what you're feeling and if they can see something in particular is related to your ilness then it is easier to acknowledge it being confirmed from them, rather from someone it may make you distrust at the time. Every so often a strange idea or a little bit of paranoia will creep in and getting my mum to talk to me about it and then being able to conirm to her that it isn't fact but something related to the illness helps her a lot, as she knows I can be trusted and also remembers conversations we've had in the past about other things she was able to see were false after discussing it.
nice channel .. inspiring.. i got issues too depression and anxiety . i accepted it , a lot easier than denying it or pushing it away.. it makes me numb about it. and function more even when im depress.. ,, if you incounter haters or trollers ignore those ,, theres a lot of them in youtube.. god bless.
Never give up. Life and this world are full of great things.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
I had sleep paralysis twice in my life. I also had the feeling that someone was in the room with me and thought I was in danger of being killed. Never happened since then but I’ll NEVER forget it!
You are so young but it is good that you've been diagnosed early. Thank you for sharing your story and your Art work. Your pieces/artistic expression is pretty cool and it is a blessing and a curse to have mental health issues. Like you, I feel blessed with the creativity - not everything that arises from my mind is distressing.
I wondered if you thought about your future in terms of managing your illness? Are you having some type of support/therapy to help you accept and manage the schizophrenia? Keep sharing if you feel comfy...Like an elder here on the net -as you know, be very careful about what you share on here and I would encourage you to develop a safe distance from the www. Maybe taking hiatus to focus on your Recovery for periods. I say this because the www is not always the best place to be when you feel paranoid, anxious or whatever. At the same time, the www is a valuable space for relating and breaking barriers/isolation. Sorry if I sound patronising or whatever, just trying to look out for you.
Are you still ok Emily? Its been 6 months since you last uploaded. Worried about you.
I’ve had a couple episodes of psychosis. The delusions were the worst. Had one that the world ended. And people were trying to kill me. And one time I had to go to the hospital. While there they were going to give me a shot of antipsychotic but I was having a delusion that the thought I was a dog and was being put to sleep. Do you get anxiety?
Has anybody heard from her in the last 6 months? I'm getting a little worried that something bad happened to her.
Are you worried about how Schizophrenia will effect your future? are you worried it could eventually break through your medication and become an every day part of your life? are you worried it could eventually get so bad that you may lose yourself? lose who you are as an individual?
Hi Emily. I'm happy to hear your medication is helping. I hope you continue to be happy and healthy. I was wondering if you think you will continue making videos for awhile? Also I see you make art. Do you have any other hobbies or things you enjoy doing?
Emily, please do an update video or something. We want to know you're ok ☺
You're the horizon of my life 💗
Happy birthday retrospectively :)
I was on serqual it was terrible it made me much worse now I am lamictal I think if I didn't have meds I would be completely unable to function I hope you are doing better your videos are very helpful ♥️
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO OF YOUR ART
It's so annoying finding videos like these and feeling so related to you, I wish I could hang out with you but anyways... I hope you're doing well and feeling better as the days go by (:
Omg i saw your art on instagram!!! Just amazing!! Make onde video about your art!!!
You seem cool. Completely get you that you rather say to the internet rather your friends. keep on yo , for all of us
Do you have a website where we can see your art? I’d love to see your work.
I have an Instagram where I'm most active!, my username is: albino.fawn
Hello Emilly, you are very brave doing these videos, thanks for making them.
I have a question, when you have an episode, do you know that you are having one?
i noticed you haven't posted in six months, are you okay.
I think she's a very pretty person and has to really focus on being positive, and fight with all your heart to rid any demons? And think of what's your hearts desire and strive and accomplish your goal! Though I don't know you, you will now be part of my daily prayers. And you have a very Good gifted talent, your art! I really love it. It's my passion. You should delete all those comments that keeps you trapped. Don't mind my post picture, it's my way of expressing all the negative crap in our crazy world.
i too have had sleep paralysis and feeling a negative entity is the worst thing of the paralysis
I've had it many times years ago but for some reason I somehow learned to control it. I would get it and not have the ability to move but for some reason I can keep myself calm by knowing that I'm having sleep paralysis and I don't get that entity thing. But the first time I had it was more terrifying than anything that ever happened to me.
You said you weren't ready to let your friends in on your Schizophrenia, what worries you most about your friends knowing about your Schizophrenia? are you worried they may not want to remain friends? are you worried they may treat you differently? are you worried they may feel sorry for you and do things out of pity because of it?
You are beautiful. I wish you peace and contentment 🙏🙏🙏
Emily You are a brave girl with guts to mention that you have this disease and comment what you feel. In my case I developed the schizo 6 years ago due to a kind of progressive epilepsy. I regret to say that I live in a country with many people who are not well educated (lives in ignorance) and the worst of all is that if I tell this disease explode gossip full of toxic words in the neightborhood...
I hope you are able to use your art work, in whatever medium, to heal yourself and live a happy life. :)
Hi, I'm pretty sure my wife has schizophrenia but I can't get through to her about it, she's 61 years old, can you help me think of something to say to her to at least get her to a doctor, I've tried everything I can think of.?
Its ruining our relationship..
I'm a new subscriber and I like how you give advice you are an amazing person and stay positive hun ps happy birthday
You obviously don't have to answer that but I wanted to ask just in case I'll interact with you/this channel more
Do you have any triggers that you wish people would be cautious about?
Also, I love your videos! Don't worry at all if they get too short or too long, both short and long videos are very fun to watch
I hope your its under control darling.
Even if it isn't you are loved
Don't listen too any negative thoughts.
Will you tell us what stress situations might have given you schizophrenia (5:00)? Was it death, abuse, car accident, or what? I just know sometimes that life is hard, and our brains try to find ways to cope with what is happening -- where we can stay "as sane" as is possible given the situation/s that we are faced with. Again, love your channel. Please, keep making videos ...
I would be very interested in hearing how you perceive love/being loved. Have been in relationships? Are you now? And what is it like to you?
Obviously these are very intimate questions, so don't feel obligated to anyone to share this.
hey im on seroquel too!! i'm diagnosed bipolar 2 but i told my therapist about how ive been seeing / hearing / feeling things that weren't actually there since i was younger and she says i might have schizoaffective. & that's why none of my meds have worked so far. im really nervous that i might be diagnosed schizoaffective when i tell my psychiatrist. i really dont know what to do & ive been having so many breakdowns lately. have any of you ever felt like this???
I'm the same! I've been diagnosed bipolar 2 but I hear voices too, and so it's a bit harder to categorise. Take care :)
Oreo im glad to know im not alone !
I have a question my daughter is 15 and her boyfriend I believe is showing signs of schizophrenia but his family is in denial is there anything I can do to help him or his family get him the help He needs?
It's a shot in the dark but I thought I would ask anyway. Have you ever had supernatural events or abilities linked to your condition? Clairvoyance for example. Maybe a premonition from whatever you are experiencing at the time, whether it be auditory or visual? I'd really appreciated if you could answer this question and it would help me out greatly.
if you having bladder problems you want to drink a lot early you need to drink half your body weight in ounces' divide your weight and drink that many ounces you want to strengthen your bladder and have a small amount of pee in it when you sleep so it can hold it in better so drink the daily intake of water that i just explained early and drink small amounts when its late but work on drinking none but you will get thirsty
How do you escape from your own thoughts?
The loops in your brain creating insane thoughts and putting you in panic state?
The voices you heard from people while talking with each other
How do you escape from the voices in your head? Telling insane about who are all you see in public
Tell me
Many people refer to people diagnosed this way with many symptoms as People with schizophrenia
Hi and thanks I can totally relate to what you've experienced I've been schizophrenic diagnosed fourteen years now and I've been of meds til just recently but lately with me returning to my hometown I've had psychotic episodes something mean so like I'm back on meds which are kicking in like right now zopiclones sleepers so like I thought I'd leave a nice comment to help us both feel a bit more happy. I've been struggling the entire time with psychosis but I seem to be alive n kicking there are times when I just wanna end it all but I have a few kids I'm father of so my mind is telling me to keep going pushing through the storm and educate so in the future when I'm not around my children will always look up to me especially in Heaven I'm their superhero. Thanks I'm going to sleep now and have sweet Dreams
Alot of respect glad you share x
and set a alarm for 7am and try getting up early before it happens
little hero ...... you're an inspiration.
So far, was there any bad experience from publishing on UA-cam? How do you regulate how UA-cam affects your life? All the best from Milano city
Hi Emily! Did you paint the lion in the background? It's awesome! The colors are so bright and beautiful! Someone mentioned it already, and I second their opinion: you should make a video about your art, if you do happen to draw or paint. Just a thought, just a thought! Have a good one and cheers! :D
Are you okay? No videos for over half a year o:
Have you ever created any art while in the throws of a Schizophrenic episode where you don't remember painting or drawing something?
Thanks for the video. That painting of the lion is amazing, looks like a lion from the spirit relms.
I know you get this a lot but i have to say it... you are beautiful! I love your eyes and also that majestic lion painting behind you. I would like to know, what kind of music do you like and what your favorite bands are... love your videos :) hope you make more, im really looking foreward to that. Well, hope you are doing fine and, obviously we dont know each other but you can count on me if you ever want to talk or smthng... i have chronic depression, so been through some hard times too... i know it may not be nearly the same, but bah... just wanted to let you know heres a pair of ears and eyes if you ever want to talk o write.
I really want to meet someone irl that has it, just to see what it's like having a friend with it and seeing it first hand
Would you trust someone you know like a friend by telling them that you're schizophrenic
I hope this isn’t too weird of a question but when is your birthday? I noticed were the same age and you said your b day was a week before this vid and it was posted in august. I have schizophrenia too and I was also born in august :)
Can u hear the voice when you have headphones on like listening to music i know its a dumb question but I was just curious?
cuteness overload
🎨📖✨ you speak wonderfully and you are a talented artist. I'm sure you could be a talented musician too
what kind of art and music projects would you persue?
I just watched all your videos I’ve been smoking non stop since I was 12 I think this postponed effects for me until I was put on probation and the manias hit like fuck I got PTSD the entire world was revolving around me I thought me and this girl were like aliens in a video game meant to meet and I though all the delusions were reality bending to help us meet smh.. and then I looked up psychosis on my phone and in the article a starry night painting came up and in the next snap she had the same picture over her head 💀 and it just happened again lol
God bless you 😝💕
Do you take anything besides antipsycotics? Does it help?
On average, how much sleep do you get a night? Does the schizophrenia effect your ability to get a good night sleep?
hi, well thank you for sharing this - its something that I did not really understand, because it is rarely spoken about. But it sounds to me like you are having paranoid thoughts - whereas i thought schizophrenia was where people become different personalities. Do you have talking therapy, is there someone who is helping you to understand that these paranoid thoughts are not real? I mean if I get an upsetting worrying /paranoid thought I can (9 times out of 10) control it by trying to come up with the most positive /calming thought and It helps to change my mind and it has a calming effect on me. Does that make sense? Sorry for rambling. I just think that we can train ourselves to be more positive and more resilient. Best of luck, I hope you are feeling better - you're right I think there are many undiagnosed schizophrenics.
Canyoudigityesyoucan Multiple personalities and schizophrenia are not the same thing. The multiple personalities is called Disassociate Identity Disorder. Meaning they take on different personas in order to cope with triggers and then have no recollection of that time because the self they identify with doesn’t recognize the persona that was present during that time. Schizophrenia is suffering from hallucinations and delusions which can cause paranoia. But I believe this is just and overstimulation is parts of the brain most of society isn’t tapped into yet. Times are changing though, we’ll get there :)
Hi, you are so beautiful and really talented artist
You're so sweet, I hope that you're doing fine!!
Hello, that's a lovely painting of a lion behind you, did you paint it yourself? Also happy belated birthday I just turned 17 too.
Yeah, I painted the lion myself :) and thank you.
Schizophrenic Do you have any other art? I'd love to see it because it certainly looks like you're talented!
Can I buy some of your paintings?
How come there would be 8 people that don't like this video and why??
Why did you stop making videos?
What do you think paradise is comparable to?
