Schizophrenia and Self-doubt
Вставка

- In order for one to accept a false reality, one must first doubt the present shared reality. Shared reality, meaning the reality we all agree on as true.
Doubt or lack of belief/confidence is the foundation on which schizophrenia builds itself. It's where the entire house of symptoms rests upon. Emotions such as fear, anxiety, confusion and uncertainty, loss of a sense of self, disassociation, etc, are all rooted in doubt.
Self-doubt is the lack of confidence/belief in oneself and abilities. When you doubt the world around you, as a consequence, you begin to doubt yourself in relation to the world. With psychotic disorders, this persistent doubting of the world around us and doubting of self creates complexes that shatters the core of one's identity. A fog then moves in over the mind, and the mind begins to lose sight of itself. it's within this fog of lostness that suffering truly begins. The negative thoughts and emotions flourish and begin to grow at an exponential rate because there's no confidence or self "present" to reign them in. Self-doubt becomes the jailer that keeps one's mind imprisoned. To overcome self-doubt, one must rise up against his jailer with the intention of overthrowing him.

I can't begin to imagine how hard it must have been for you to completely recover. I truly admire you for the work you put in to get here, all glory goes to our Father in Heaven ❤ No matter what we're going through in life all of us need faith, its the ONLY way to break through the darkness that surrounds us, which is destined to bow down to the light that lives within us. I have a brother with schizophrenia. He is much better now than he was used to be but the delusions are still there, imprinted in his mind. He lives in a building for people with schizophrenia and they all have a beautiful apartment of their own and every now and then they get supervised by personel that stays there as well. They encourage them to go for walks, activities, talks, taking medication and so on. He is living in isolation though, he wants to be for himself and when people try to reach out to him he doesn't answer his phone. So the only thing left is to go there without his will but that's really uncomfortable for him due to him not trusting anyone, not even his family. He does open the door and you do get to come in and have a chat with him, offer him a walk or something but it has been the same story for 10+years. I feel like these videos can be very helpful for him to understand that he's not well. He may not trust to view them himself but I will do my best to learn from your experience and the tools that you've gained that you're so graciously sharing with the world, so that hopefully i can help my brother as well. I suffer from sever OCD with constant intrusive thoughts and in some aspect, especially in the way it has manifested itself physically, i feel like you're helping me as well. The foundation is a bit rocked right now but listening to you gives me hope and restores my faith. I can't thank you enough for making these video, i believe you have helped many recover and will continue to do so. GOD bless you brother, in JESUS name ❤✝️🙏

Wow. I certainly appreciate your kind words. I'm glad you've found some hope here with these videos I make. I know what your brother is experiencing. I was there too. I hope he makes it out just as I did. I wish you all the best against the obstacles you face as well. I know you can rise above and beyond them. Without God, we can do nothing.
@@themorningmist99 Thank you brother, I really appreciate it. Happy new year 🎆 above and beyond we go! ✝️💪
This is great my son is 20 now he is still not able to speak with such depth as you do. You have truly blessed me.
This is powerful. Thank you Paul
Great video. This is a pretty bad part of the disorder... sucks when you have to question everything you think. If you've had grandiose problems that adds to it too, can't trust whether someone is being good or bad to you. Messes with your confidence for sure. I always have to question and tell myself that nobody likes you and that nobody wants to mess with you, sucks.
For me it was rather the opposite after my first stopping of the medication. I was prettymuch overconfident and thought the „signals“ helped me. Do you have an idea why or if it always is bad? I have never fought it, is that a mistake?
I've heard of it happening like that before. It's why if we build on understanding rather than how we feel, then we'll be better prepared for the storms when they inevitably arrive..
The experiences may not always be "bad." Some experiences can be pleasant and even comforting. But, there's always more behind the good feelings. At least that's my take. Others certainly feel different... but they're also still suffering 🤷♂️
The reason why it tends to be bad is because it is a thing of destruction. It's no different in nature than physical illnesses such as diabetes or cancer. By that, I mean they steal your health and would leave you in absolute ruin if there's no intervention. This is why I can't see any good coming from them, even though the experiences might seem pleasant at times. Yet, there's another side to the pleasant feeling it offers. It's like some animals using lure to catch their prey. They offer the image of pleasure, but the price for falling for the trick is very steep. Most of us with these conditions don't seem to understand this, and hence, why they continue to suffer in spite of supposedly making friends with "their" hallucinations.
I didn't start to fight this thing until about 6 years into it when it nearly drove me into an early grave. As long as you have breath and the will, you can fight and beat this thing. You only truly lose when you refuse to get back up after being knocked down. That's how I see it. That's part of the understanding that I built the foundation of my mind on. Don't ever give up or lose hope. No matter what comes, don't you do it.
Thanks! For the questions. I think I might make a video on this topic 🤔
@@themorningmist99 i would be interested to hear that
Thanks for making this video.Are you on working camp?
You're certainly welcome :)
And yes, this video was made at a work camp. I'm also there presently.
The voices have proved that they can see the future and have come to me as negative voices for the past months
They have proved to me that it's my actions right now that have caused the mayhem that has transpired in the past
Could I stop them or should I think of it as the past and move on from it
It's irrelevant that they show you the future. Don't get caught on that. It's a trap for your mind. They only do so to make you afraid and uncertain of yourself and of any hope. Guilt, shame, resentment, and regret are chains they use to bind our minds to the past, which then prevents us from reaching a desirable future while we remain unable to experience the present. So, if you want to reach a desirable future or to experience the present in ways greater than just suffering, you'd be wise to let the past stay in the past, and you stay your mind in the present. That's the way to a bright future. I understand this is easier said than done, but it can be done by you. Faith is a letting go. Let go of the past so you may effectively fight and win today to seize your desired future. Whatever paths you allow to open up for you, those are the paths you'll walk. Call anything contrary to your intention a lie, and cast it down. Keep only one path open, and that's the path forward. You have to win if you walk with this intention.
@@gavinmathis513 have you been able to gain control of them?
Is psychosis constant when not on meds? Or episodes?
It can be! It depends on how it affects that particular individual. But, without intervention, it could last years or only ceases with the individual's death.
I got this feeling that i cause some misfortunes in this world . And its a really sad feeling . can i get a reply bro
Hey 👋 I can guarantee you this, the world will go on. You're not your feelings. You don't have to accept it. You can challenge it. Mind is greater than feeling. Easier said than done. I know. It's just something to chew on.
Have you talked with a therapist?
@@themorningmist99 it's mostly my thoughts that are ruining my moods and when people are able to hear me just thinking . It's so weird cuz i try so hard not to think negatively of people but it just what's constantly popping up on my mind and so people starting to hear more clearly what i be thinking and its so uncomfortable that i be isolating . What's worst now is that its collective now ,its no longer only affecting a person i'm thinking about but groups of people and i dnt want this to happen to people cuz i know most people are living positive and happy lives but then my mind starts doing the repeating negative thoughts about them .
You trying NOT to think negatively of people only helps to keep the sympoms going. The thoughts aren't yours, or else they'd obey you just like any other part of your body obeys your command. So, it's a trap you've fallen into. Your hard resistance to the thoughts only makes them stronger. You just need to stop fearing them and fearing people hearing you. Practice letting go of them and look beyond them. You're trying to stop/catch them, but they've already caught you. You need to walk away. A serpent can't bite you if you simply ignore it and walk alway, no matter how much it hisses. You understand?
What does it take to speak to you over the phone???
Email me and find out
@@themorningmist99 how do I email you??? May I have your email address please???
