writing a schizophrenic character and i think hearing firsthand experiences from schizophrenic people is very insightful and helps me write them correctly, thank you!
8:32 I can’t understand the term used to describe the tactile, painful symptoms. But I’ve heard from someone who experiences this that they’ve felt their hand being cut off, they’ve been stabbed, broken ribs have been healed and broken again. They believe their true self is stuck somewhere and they have no control over what experiments are being done on them. I appreciate you being forthcoming. It really helps when trying to understand something that is impossible to understand. It’s heartbreaking 💔 So glad you’re managing it because you know what it is. Imagine not knowing and believing all this stuff is real.
For me, I know I'm having an episode if I hear music that only know about. My cope (reality checking?) is to plug my ears and, if I can still hear it I know it's all me.
Hi, can I please ask you if the music you hear sounds identical to music that isn’t all you? Do “real” sounds sound indistinguishable from hallucinated sounds? Thank you, and I’m sorry you have to deal with this
@@FigmentHFMy psychosis was caused by alcohol withdrawal and sleep deprivation, the music sounded distorted and like it was coming from another room but would get more clear and loud the more it went on. The problem with my psychosis was if I started hearing music without a source I was too delirious to just google if there a concert going on in their neighborhood, or know that my neighbors would not play my taste in music at 3am. So it would lead to paranoia that a garage band is covering a foreign band, that has never toured in the US was next door and the voices I were hearing were an audience etc. This went on for 3 days, which again if I was lucid I would just really that it was all in my head and no band plays for that long Does that make sense? Or at least answer your question?
My brother used to hallucinate the Simpson's talking to him or other cartoons of course he was also delusional but seeing him in that state were the more pleasurable moments of watching him having an episode bc he wasn't in fear.
Dude this was an awesome vid! I’m beginning to understand what my son goes through. Please never stop making them, you are on the road to helping so many people! Thank you! ❤🤗
Your content is really helpful! I've been working with people who have schizophrenia but are not as ready to share their experiences or able to share as much insight on what it is like. This content genuinely helps me understand people better and that translates to me being able to be more responsive to certain needs or sensitive to certain challenges. Thank you!
I just stumbled on your videos, my brother is early onset schizophrenic. He started having symptoms at 16 and was fully diagnosed by 17. It's been approximately 17 years now, but this was helpful to help me understand what some of the hallucinations are in context. He has a very hard time opening up with us and is sort of stuck due to the early onset (so the doctors say) in a younger mindset, so it can be difficult at times for him to functionally with with us. But thank you for sharing and keep it up!
Hi, man! It's good to see you being in a good mood and outstanding shape! How is your family doing? I hope and wish they are doing well too! I have a couple of questions for you. It's OK to ignore them. 1. What if someone (or you yourself) literally walks through a hallucination you are seeing - does it disappear being "compromised"? 2. Can you confront disturbing visual anomalies? 3. Is this one true? One friend of mine is a psychiatrist. He said that a visual hallucination can be brought to light simply by distorting the picture you are receiving from your eyes by softly pressing your eyeballs: real picture gets distorted, fake one doesn't. 4. Do you think those stories about haunted houses, people being possessed by entities were just another episodes of a brain tricking itself and it's host? 5. Does a blunt, a shot of vodka help to calm your mind during an episode?
There are also somatic hallucinations. Tactile hallucinations are localized on or just under the skin. Somatic hallucinations are localized inside the body (e.g., sensations of snakes crawling inside your abdomen or feeling electricity going through your body). There are also kinetic hallucinations. These are the false perception of movement. Like feeling your arm has been raised when it hasn't.
It’s so cool to hear a functional schizophrenic describing his disorder. May God be with you & yours, I’m sorry you’re suffering the consequences of this broken world
If you were seeing something you were not certain was real would using your camera on your phone to look at it help in anyway? Would you continue to see it thru the camera or would it not show up to you? Or maybe you dont know.
Yes. Many people can experience "pleasant" or entertaining hallucinations. In the us, hallucinations are more likely to be negative, but they can present in all sorts of ways. For example, seeing overlayed blobs of color, or hearing gentle music.
This is fascinating, thank you for sharing your experiences. I would like to know if there is any meaningful distinction between an auditory or visual hallucination, Vs a “real” image or sound? So if you visually hallucinate a person, do they appear in the same way that a real person would? And the same for sounds? Do they feel external to you? Rather than in your head? I think we all hallucinate everything all of the time. I feel that our perception is a controlled hallucination and everything we see and hear is being generated by the brain, and the sensory data we collect with our eyes and ears is simply used to check for prediction errors. And so I wonder if what we call hallucinations are simply visual and auditory experiences that simply aren’t backed up by sensory data, so no sound waves or photons, it’s a pure “top down” generative experience, or something like that. All of these ideas are from the predictive model of perception theory. Thanks again for sharing your experiences
So if you jumped in front of a hallucinatory train… It begs the question. 🤔 Your explanation makes it all sound so simple. I mean no offense. Are you suffering from this disorder? Just wondering 💭
No disrespect but these hallucinations really sound interesting (wish you can somehow separate yourself from them but still describe them in like really fine detail (visual ones)).
i don't have schizophrenia or any other psychotic disorders or symptoms, i only have adhd, anxiety, and some serious trauma (not ptsd though), but one trauma-based hallucination i repeatedly get is knocking on doors and my mother's yelling, and definitely the crawling insects whenever i'm surrounded by insects
Bro i watched ur earlier video and u said u were taking abilify, i use to take 15mgs for 7 years for ocd (the pure o type) i’m just confused brcause abilify made me very fucking sleepy, soo sleepy i couldnt even make it to work and ur on 12mg and u dont seem lika ur a zombie, also i forgot to mention i gained 80kg on the drug, do you realate or is it just me?

I am too! I want to have him be as realistic as I can and these videos have been really helpful for that :D

@@Ditchhead May i ask what kind of music it is? Or is it random? Is it some sort of horror way?

wow man, its 05:49 am w no sleep, just perfect timing so I can get calm, thanks to your videos
You explain everything so well, very interesting watch. Thank you for sharing!
I have an inner dialogue, but you’re right. There’s not necessarily a voice attached to it.
Love the edit job brother keep it up.

Hello. You look great! I really appreciate your videos. Happy new year
Whats the best thing you've heard or seen?
No way I’m so early, your vids are so cool and interesting to watch!!
Thx bruh 😅
@@McHenryCruiserno thank you for thanking me

Thank you so much for making those videos.🥰🙏🏾
My visual hallucinations were mostly pleasant and I enjoyed them.
If you were seeing something you were not certain was real would using your camera on your phone to look at it help in anyway? Would you continue to see it thru the camera or would it not show up to you? Or maybe you dont know.
That’s a really good question!!
Fascinating. I will be watching every single one of your videos following this one.
Thanx 🤘
I hear an electrical buzzing sound a d bright blue electric sparks.
In my worst episode, everything tastes like real shit...I mean really like it...
do you or have you ever heard of anyone having hallucinations that aren’t scary or noises even
Yes. Many people can experience "pleasant" or entertaining hallucinations. In the us, hallucinations are more likely to be negative, but they can present in all sorts of ways.

First like always 🤝 #fellowschizo
Good video!
Thanks for educating.
There is a lot of similarity between these experiences and negative NDE's

I am from Belgium and I really like your video´s .
Do they tend be negative hallucinations?
The taste one isnt fun. Especially when youre at a public restaurant lololol
That's not even the worst part, believing you're being poisoned and start to untrust your safe environment is
i don't have schizophrenia or any other psychotic disorders or symptoms, i only have adhd, anxiety, and some serious trauma (not ptsd though), but one trauma-based hallucination i repeatedly get is knocking on doors and my mother's yelling, and definitely the crawling insects whenever i'm surrounded by insects
Bro i watched ur earlier video and u said u were taking abilify, i use to take 15mgs for 7 years for ocd (the pure o type) i’m just confused brcause abilify made me very fucking sleepy, soo sleepy i couldnt even make it to work and ur on 12mg and u dont seem lika ur a zombie, also i forgot to mention i gained 80kg on the drug, do you realate or is it just me?
I took abilify to impulse control and I was not sleepy at all, it almost did no effect, it is different from person to person
Dude, the facial hair looks absolutely sick on you!
There’s an explanation t9 all of this , you are a voice to skull victim search what voice to skull then electromagnetic harassement to understand well
Bruh, that's a delusion
