    Thank you for standing up for people with schizophrenia. I have it since my 20s but had other symptoms when I was younger.

    I love your videos! They are so educational and informative, and you are making me feel less insecure about my mental and neurological disorders. I have OCD and Autism Spectrum disorder, of course it’s not as severe as schizophrenia but I have experienced intense paranoia, depression, and breakdowns. I also felt very misconstrued whenever I would tell people about my diagnoses. Anyways thank you and keep up with the great content!

    I can't believe how crappy that sister was who wouldn't believe her sister was schizophrenic. Trauma can be a trigger. The girl is going through so much, I feel so bad for the girl with schizophrenia that her sister doesn't believe her on top of everything else.

    I think your answers to those reddit stories were right on! Thanks for being an advocate. I am still "hiding in the closet" with my diagnosis.

    I love this series. I'd love to see more of these. Well, if she didn't wanna talk about it, I'd have to agree. Sure I can see myself needing time to sort out my emotions like he did. I think he overreacted though, and would say he's the 'asshole' in this situation, even though I think they both had a valid point of view. He's clearly still sorting through his emotions so I think the promise to be together forever is also a bit of an overreaction, unless they already were planning to spend their lives together. I think if I overreacted like that, it'd be a bit selfish. He probably felt lied to, but it wasn't really something he was entitled to know. Very understandable situation, and I'm glad you both were able to show the two points of view. Great job! See you next time.
    Edit: I'm fairly certain that I suffer from psychopathy and narcissism. I'm working on getting an official diagnosis and score at very high risk on multiple accredited home tests. An ex told me I was a narcissist with a very valid explanation and so I looked into it. I tell people almost immediately because I want people to know that my symptoms are involuntary without self awareness. I have symptoms, but I want to overcome them because it makes my life better and boosts my self esteem. I share with people because I want to be understood, my symptoms have been very visible my whole life, most people don't understand that psychopathy, sociopathy, and narcissism can cause depression and anxiety of which I am diagnosed, and because I would like some flexibility from people who know that symptoms are not always a choice but something that can improve with self awareness. The truth is, psychopathy causes a lot of problems in a person's life. Many behaviors are done under the spell of psychosis when a patient is not aware of their illness. I try to break the stigma so that I'm not isolated by force. But if my symptoms are indetectable and not causing problems, I'd perhaps consider refraining from mentioning it. It would potentially make my life easier. I'm also transgender, and if nobody could tell, I perhaps wouldn't say as well. If I wanted to be perceived as 'normal' it might help with depression. I don't mind being seen as different though.

    That is the big problem. Most of the people on this planet don’t know much about schizophrenia and they assume you are acting like an actress/ an actor. Many patients with schizophrenia hide their symptoms to avoid rejection and fear of being judged by others. I wish the media spread more about this message. You and your girlfriend are doing a great job.

    So the first person is accepting to their trans sibling but not their sister for showing symptoms of mental distress because they think she’s just seeking attention. Wonderful.

    I suppose in defense of the guy in the last story, that is a lot to process? I mean it is considered a serious mental disorder. Obviously doesn’t give anyone the right to be rude.
    And I don’t know but if you are in a serious relationship with someone you should tell them especially just in case you have an episode, so your partner knows what to do and how to respond in order to help. That is an extremely important thing to consider.

    • @SchizophrenicNYC
      @SchizophrenicNYC  Рік тому +2

      That is true. My entire point was that if he never knew in all those years….it seems like she never had any issues around him or at all. She said her mom didn’t even know. She must be keeping herself together well.

      Jesus Christ is the only way out of it. He is the only one that can truly set her free. Medications will not help a spiritual attack. You must trust in the Lord Jesus, and through his Holy Spirit, the devil will flee, but she must accept Jesus as her personal savior first, otherwise there will no authority for the spiritual attack to leave. See, we are all born into sin, and we must first recognize that we are sinners, repent of your sins, and put your trust in Jesus. The bible says, we must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. Not by works. It is faith, through His grace. So, all she needs to do is humble her heart, say, Lord i recognize i am a sinner, I repent of my sins, and ask you Jesus into my life. I give you control. Set me free from this burden, and fill me with your Holy Spirit. If you truly mean that, he will respond, set you free, and will transform your life. Its the only way, you will never find true freedom without Him. This lady here will never be able to help you, because she needs Jesus as well. Please listen, and do not ignore. Its life changing, i promise! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. please give Him a chance, and you will see.God bless. Will be praying for you, in Jesus name!

      If Jesus Christ was the cure then exorcisms would work better than medications. And exorcisms don't work better. That is why the Catholic Church rarely does exorcisms any more. They know mental health treatment works better.
      Please get your family member proper mental health treatment!

    I think with the 2nd story the issue was she wasn't medicated. As someone with a violent paranoid schizophrenic family member, it's difficult not to be afraid.

    Not to be that person or anything, but please be careful with stories on Reddit. It is extremely easy to make an account online and say all kinds of weird stuff and claim it is true. And yes there are weird people who will do stuff like that.
    Please proceed with caution and think critically y’all! (Sorry I’m all for facts and truth not believing everything you read online.)
