Hi Jacob! It's ("Enigma" instagram account) Since you are so comprehensive and articulate in your descriptions of your observations dealing with schiz; would you be open to the idea of critiquing one of the simulators of schizophrenia videos as to whether they are accurate or realistic? I know experiences are different from person to person but I think your scientific observation of it would be interesting. I Think you're awesome. You have taught me (us) much in a very coherent and fascinating way. I wonder if you realize how much you have greatly contributed to the understanding of this illness to the masses. Thank you. till the next video. :) I'm thums up #9
iv got auditory hallucinations and have had from morning to night for the past 3 years and i dont find the simulators 100% correct. there is one that is almost accurate but it has background music "mystic" sound in it and that is not how i have i hear it like someone is standing outside my windows and speaking or as if it was my neighbor being loud. and they always speak one at a time, all females, like there is a conversation going on between them and that they are doing claims about me and what i do so sometimes i cant help it to answer back to them to correct them. like if i listening to music one voice can say "Joel he always listening to the same music" and then they add something negative and try to make it seem like i am bad for some reason.
Some nights, when it's dark, I start freaking out for no reason. And the fear often triggers weird things to happen,like last time I felt something was standing beside my bed, a presence. Then I thought my cat was in the wardrobe as I heard something moving but i knew he was in a different room. Later on I heard whispers. Another night it was quiet, but I suddenly heard a yell! When the nights are like that, i usually can't sleep and stay in my room with the light on. It's terrifying to me.
Natalia Bloch hey you don’t have to be scared anymore Jesus the son of God can get rid of them evil demons you just have repent and ask him into your heart and you’ll be saved
My voices talk to each other and narriate my daily activities,some say they love me,others tell me to kill people,the demons say theyre going to posess me,hurt me etc.i hate when they mumble sometimes.
maybe you should make a vid just listening to the voices and saying what they say. My voices were a guy and a girl, thick ghetto/black accent talking to eachother commenting on everything I'm doing, usually being kind of mean, but the bad part about it is they were always somewhere people could be like outside the window or in the next aisle over in a grocery store, around a corner ect. and if I went to look to see if there were people there they would stop or be somewhere else out of sight. They were always the same people so I learned to usually be able to tell if it was them or real people.
DirtyBird760 Gawd, that sounds so frigging annoying! I don’t (think I) have schizophrenia but lately the anti-anxiety meds I’ve been on seem to be causing... I don’t know what to call them - “head zaps”?? I’m hard of hearing and have constant tinnitus; the “head zaps” are like periodic super loud tinnitus blasts and I also feel super dizzy when they hit. Just my relatively little head zaps annoy the heck out of me. I don’t want to think of how annoying full-on VOICES would be, especially if they were saying mean things. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Yea they’re always within reach, that’s just part of how the brain “legitimizes” them I guess, otherwise you’d be admitting they’re coming from nowhere and that’s not usually easy for people with delusions, maybe easier with hallucinations alone. My mom always thinks they’re somewhere in the house or right outside her window or in the backyard, or even under the patio umbrella, she also thinks they’re tiny people too sometimes.
Fiveoh Four Not on Cymbalta. Finally got to see my doc the other day about this. It’s from switching from Effexor to Amitriptyline. Went too slow getting up to my right dose on Amitriptyline and too quick coming down off Effexor. Corrected that starting yesterday and already feel better with fewer head zaps.
so I don't usually have voices I hear out in the physical.. but if you've ever talked to yourself in your head and heard that voice in your imagination, that's where my voices talk and they can talk a LOT. they've told me to kill myself, they guilt me and told me on several occasions to start a suicide note. It may be schizophrenia or something else, but I feel these thoughts/voices are too common for me to say I'm normal and on top of that I get anxiety, paranoia and delusions and have had mood swings and depression in the past. No matter what it is, I'm currently diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder
First of all, I would like to thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have always been fascinated by mental illness and how they affect people, or how these people think and see the world. You helped me so much to understand more about them, I'm even using this knowledge to help me when I write about the topic. Secondly, I would like to suggest a video showing your point of view of various subjects you feel comfortable talking, because I feel like you think different of others, and it would be very interesting. Thanks :) (and sorry for my bad english lol) (do a video outside too when you overcome the insecurity, I and many others would love)
Great video - I agree with you schizophrenia is very fascinating - you mentioned hearing voices when you are lying down in bed trying to sleep, that is the time my voices first started and my psychiatric nurse said a lot of her patients say their voices get worse when they are lying down in bed trying to sleep
i found this channel today and i’ve been watching a lot of videos of him talking about his mental illness since i am extremely fascinated by and interested in these topics. i really wonder what he saw during this video, but i do understand that this might be too personal. i‘m definitely grateful that he‘s sharing his experience and talking about it so freely.
You can make a vlog no.2 like what's going on in your life right now, future plans, how do you spend a typical day at home etc. Or you can make a video about your favourite films and films you wanna see. Or you can talk about how you get over a 'depressive episode' like how do you stay positive, what helps you in difficult times to move on.
Every time I have a vivid dream. I have strange conversations too, but by the time I wake up I can't remember anything. It's almost like there's two of me, and one of me is stuck in highschool forever.
Another great video Jacob, could u do a video on panic attacks and how to deal with them , explain how it feels like and why it happens (flight or fight)
Could you make a video about experience with therapy and psychiatric evaluations? I'm not sure if you've made a video over the topics but if like to hear your experiences with it only because I'm going to have to go thru it soon.I really appreciate your videos, keep going strong. 😊
5:30 the guy who invented PCR tests (like for COVID, & a mil other revolutionary things in science); he pulled over on the side of the road, & hallucinated an alien telling him the techniques. he won the nobel prize for that. real or not. _JC
Maybe you could do a video outside your bedroom like in another room or a video more about yourself like your personality, friends, family etc. Do you live alone or with family? Do people ever question why your talking to yourself? How do your parents or family or friends react when you have a hallucination or something? I get if these are to personal or something
My name is Eric. Because I believe that you're not faking It I'm going to show you respect and be honest with you right from the get-go. I've been watching your video posts for a couple years now. I really haven't taken a heck of alot of benefit from them... other than I was needing to hear some people talk about mental illness and maybe give me some hope. Again I don't want to sound cruel but if anything sometimes I would see people that appeared to be in worse shape than myself and I would realize how lucky I was... and thank God for it (obviously not for other people being sicker than me, but for the fact that it could be alot worse or me) Sometimes that was enough to get me through the day. You stated on one of your videos that one of the last things in the world that you want is sympathy. Someone's pity, feeling sorry for me, that's nothing I'd want either. I very much respect that, but I did tell you I was going to be honest... I return to your channel and watch your videos mainly to see how you're doing. If that annoys you, forgive me... lol. I'm 52 In September of 2013 (I was 47) for the first time in my life I experienced an auditory hallucination. It was in the form of voices. I'm not going to give you my whole history with the shit... it's not all that important. The fact is I've been dealing with auditory verbal hallucinations everyday of my life since then. I want you to know who I am... That I'm not somebody just telling you something with no experience with AVH. I don't want to come across as being cold... When I hear you say that you have trouble determining what's real and what isn't when you're hearing voices.. Brother if you're alone in a room and you hear somebody talking to you it's not real. Unless you are talking with someone on your cell phone or chatting with someone on a computer or your cat learns to talk... I mean seriously. My life has been affected by this in a very negative way.. I'm very angry about it. To have a relatively normal/quiet mind for 47 years then have that taken away from you... for me it's been more than I can get past (in terms of daily anger). I have no underlying diagnosis of: schizophrenia, depression or bipolar disorder. I'm very grateful that within an hour of hearing voices for the first time I correctly recognized what the situation was. I was honest with myself and recognized that something snapped in my head. I thank God that I'm not one of these poor souls that when experiencing AVH believe they are hearing the voice of God, or or they're being pursued by the CIA and that the CIA is beaming live conversation into their mind by means of microphone and radio waves... or some other far out delusion. Let me close by saying that I wish you all the best. Always know that if you're alone in a room and hear someone talking to you... no matter how interesting the conversation might be for you, it is not based in reality, it's not real.
Have you ever intentionally or accidentally recorded yourself when you have had any hallucinations and went back and reviewed it? I'm not eluding to wanting to see it because I expect that to be very personal. I just wondered if they were ever influenced by something you had recently read or viewed. I remember you spoke about being influenced by that movie. Thanks ☺️
Cy B I thought of that too while watching his video. Already using video recording for this channel. Why not use it when things that may be hallucinations start happening? Then, at least, you could review the video later and see on the video whether “it” was really there. I wonder whether the hallucinations last long enough to grab the camera and point it at “it”. Hm.... This is definitely fascinating.
Bob Downs i think he stated a while back that when his hallucinations are happening he doesn’t think about recording or can’t even fathom pressing a button or think about it bc he’s in too deep. something along those lines. but honestly people, you’re asking for a lot. it’s personal and it’s his illness. and just because he’s on youtube, certain things should be out of question to even ask. i doubt you would ask one of your friends sufferings from it to record their episodes.
nadnu You’re right. It is asking a lot. Just wanted to share an idea that I thought might help. Wasn’t asking him to post the video, if he was able to record it. Just thought it might be useful to him and him alone.
In my experience they (voices) can be influenced by recently viewed or read subject matter and people u recently have interacted with i.e. ppl from work. There is a deeper matrix to this as well and it can seem that your brain is tuning in to unusual frequencies for unexplained reasons.
Thing is it's one thing to hallucinate, another to start investing time and effort into them. Back in my late teens I read a number of books by the late Doris Stokes, who was a famous medium. In her early childhood she would see/hear all manner of things that petrified her. It was only through her guide that she learned how to be a gate keeper to them (keeping the negative out while welcoming the positive). Now we all have our own beliefs around this sort of thing, but in the case of a downward trend to our mental well-being it's imperative to have the foresight to notice when our mental well-being is taking a downward slide and to get it addressed as soon as... That may mean taking those thoughts/beliefs that we keep trapped within ourself to health professionals etc. What ever the process it's important to stop that train of thought and get a tight grip on our well-being and perhaps in time be our own gate keepers. If I am honest in the case of quiet voices if they are demonic, are they through being quiet enticing someone to steer and train their concentration to a state of mind where they manifest? In the case of making someone feel important are they seducing someone to engage in conversation and as trust is gained start manipulating. There does seem to be a pattern of outcomes to voice hearers and it tends to be one of torment...
Thanks very much for doing these, I learn a lot from them. I would like to ask a question about hallucinations. Do they happen at random times, or is there anything that causes them to be more likely to occur? Like, I dunno, maybe exhaustion from not sleeping well for a few nights? Thanks :)
I really like ur vids ! Please keep them coming ! Ok but 1 question: one of ur vids you said: i hear dark/low male voices. Were those just auditorial, or with visual hallucinations ? (I believe it was the vid with the hand crawling out of the lamp) Looking forward to ur reply. And keep uploading ur vids, u help shitloads of people ! Gr from Europe, Holland !
These videos are very interesting to me, and I can relate with a lot of the symptoms! I don't think I have schizophrenia (though I do have very similar experiences on a regular basis), but I do have autism (which is mildly problematic in and of itself). My hallucinations are quite minor and the auditory usually only take the form of my mom or sister calling my name or the sound of foot steps outside my door. It's almost impossible to tell what's real and what's not. Like I said, I don't think I have schizophrenia, as they are usually very minor, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. This comment is quite ironic as I've just gotten home from my first appointment with a psychiatrist for my anxiety.
Hello! Love your videos.. I'm learning a lot. My husband suffers from schizophrenia also and i was wondering (if you haven't done a video like this yet) if you could make a video with advice for significant others in dealing with an episode. He takes medicine and it helps but he never tells me when he runs out so if he has an episode I'm not sure if he's having one or he's just being difficult lol. I guess advice on how to deal with an episode and how to acknowledge someone is having one if they don't tell you. I'm sure it's different for everyone but it's like to know your opinion. Thanks! Oh by the way, his illness of all auditory voices... if that helps.
Nikki_D1919 hey, I encourage you to simply search google for “coping with schizophrenia” or “schizophrenia impact on family/loved ones” or “tips or caretakers” etc. search UA-cam as well, there’s a wealth of info out there.
Hi! Have you ever experienced derealisation? I also have schizophrenia and experience that a lot, usually when I have a stressful day. If you have, can you talk about that? It would really help hearing someone else's experience. Love your videos btw.
Could you do a video on your theory of everything? I would like to know your thoughts on how you believe the Universe (multiverse) came into existence. It's so fascinating to ponder that. I mean at some point in a fucking ridiculous unfathomable amount of ancient time, there was absolutely nothing and from nothingness an energy consciousness appeared that began creating. What created that energy consciousness if there was nothing before it? Then dimensions started being built and eventually creating our 3D reality. Then the first Universe popped into existence and eventually our Universe came into existence. It's a topic too few discuss but I would love to hear peoples theories. Great video by the way.
I’d love to know what your relationship is like is with your parents, gf, friends etc But especially with your parents...if it’s not a too personal request/question. Thanks! Btw, love your videos! Keep it up!! :D
have you ever thought that the hallucinations might actually be real and that other people just can`t pick up on them. like we have our senses boosted up a little too high and so we can tune into higher frequencies.
it would be interesting to get us all in one room together and see what happens. i have a theory that they are trying to get us to overcome our fears, or at least i think that`s what mine are trying to do to me, ... i hope.
Could you maybe talk about the difference between auditory/visual hallucinations outside of your head and experiencing them inside your mind? (if that makes sense, hallucinating unwanted images & voices that are inside your mind, rather than things you see with your eyes or hear with your ears.) If you have any experience with this; I think it's an interesting part of hallucinations that isn't discussed. Thankyou so much for all the videos you make and everything you do with your channel. Many others, as well as myself, benefit and find strength through engaging with your videos. Please keep doing what you are doing, I hope your new dose is better for you, too! :)
I used to (in my mind's eye) see my teeth bend and when it happened I could feel it. Not pleasent. That and a few other things as well around that time. The teeth one though, I can still barely feel it if I think about it, but not nearly to the point it was at a couple decades back. I just remember that the intensity of the thought and the reaction to the thought faded as time went on. I also at that time had a image of a stuffed doll, like raggedy anne doll, being mutiliated and looking into black beady eyes of the doll as it was happening. It was also not pleasent, and made me cry at least once.
I would hear the ceiling cracking and bolts falling and I always thought the house was gonna fall on me. I would also hear growling and hissing and even explosions it made me look really weird to other people when I was reacting to things that weren't real.
i hear a voice one male voice 24 hours a day its just raw i understand everything the voice tells me.2 options i have meditation or hear the voices and feel just crazy inside my body too much anxiety with the voices
MiscellaneousVideos Well I started hearing voices at 11 (I’m 12 now) and I can tell you I heard it from in my head and I have recently started hallucinating and it is cool and scary at the same time.
In my experience with auditory hallucinations (voices) some seem to be in my head and some seem to be outside my head. My guess is that Jacob has various interactions.
thank you so much for responding and btw I don't judge anyone I just genuinely care to understand what is happening around me and in other people's lives.. therefore i really appreciate you for taking the time to respond xx
How were you diagnosed with schizophrenia? My father was schizophrenic and my mom was manic depressive. I'm worried about being in the early stages of schizophrenia but not having hallucinations.
How,much does Seroquel actually reduce the amount of voices you hear? Have you ever had a period in your life (after age 11) where you didn’t hear voices?
My son is 27 and non verbal and I’m pretty sure by his behaviors that he has bouts of auditory hallucinations. He runs thru the house screeching and slapping himself in his ears! 😔it’s really messed up! He’s on seraquel too n it helps. But not all the time. I feel for you! I really hope you have good days! I’ll keep you in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing. ❤️👊
Most likely just an “almost hallucination” or “fleeting passage” where something in your peripheral vision catches your attention and you have to focus there for a moment to see if you actually saw something or not. Just a guess though, could just be he looks up when thinking and got distracted
Maybe it's silly, but i'm really curious if you can control (or rather guide) the hallucinations? for example can you induce them? can you guide a conversation?
hello i have recently "3 years ago " been diagnosed with schizophrenia and i mostly have auditory hallucinations and i wrote to you on facebook i hope to get some advice on how to handle it cause now im not handleing it at all. i wrote in more detail on how i think i got it and how it is affecting me and i really need help. hope you can spare a sec to look this way and give some pointers on how to deal with it and what treatment are avalible , my doctor or doctors, i have switched frequently and noone seems to know how to treat me i have tried atleast 5-6 different anti psychotic medicines and and 3 different injections and none work.
Mine told me I was schizophrenic they didn't want me to hear them...so I questioned logic I thought it was one of my family members... did I mention it hurt so bad when you hear them!!!it went away when I went in the shower. My delusion was that people talked like this and that I was missing out lol never happened again but I do hear clicks and meat being chopped which gave me paranoia super bad
I have a friend who has schizophrenia. She sees a polish music artist every day, and he talks to her constantly. She says they’re married. When I talk to her, I always play along when she start talking about him, but I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. She thinks she’ll die soon and go to heaven with him (she’s 16). I try to tell her she won’t die, and that she should go and talk to her psychiatrists and get help. She doesn’t go to school because of depression and anxiety, and I worry about her a lot. How should I talk to her? I always feel like I’m doing the wrong thing. When I tell her something that she doesn’t believe, she tells me that [name redacted] tells her she can’t talk about it, and denies what I say. Thank you.
I’ve been hearing voices a lot lately and seeing things and having really bad delusions but I don’t know how to tell my mom what’s going on. Do you have any advice on that?
fear of wide open space = agoraphobia. it is more common than you would think esp. when accompanied with visual and auditory hallucinations. Demanding auditory female voices as hallucinations might stem from a repressed memory during preadolescent childhood; not always necessarily a mother figure. It may tie together with the agoraphobia. Have you considered psychoanalysis and regression? Most psychologists jump straight to drugs, but some of the early Freudian psychology practices are still the best (but they cost $) for identifying the roots of many types of delusions, if certain forms of medication, do not trigger secondary delusional states (that usually also sedate, and are "safer" on medical terms). When you're alone try responding, in case (in the rare theological phenomenon of foresight and/or divine communication) there is a higher power trying to get through to you. If those voices sound threatening and ask self affliction of you or cruel oppression of others, tone them out by listening to music or doing something constructive (like a hobby) to distract you from them. Many times, much of what they say will be forgotten but not all.
I'm not sure of what to ask you for in a video posting but I do have a question. I'm curious if you are able to have a stable job given the fact that you have auditory hallucinations. I'm currently unemployed and I got denied for SSI they stated that my condition is controllable by the medication I'm taking. I haven't reapplied I'm actually updating my resume and looking for jobs. My current living situation is in crisis and I have to get a job. I am scared as hell. The medication works but not good enough. I can always hear the voices. At times it's extremely quiet but not silent. I can always hear my name and 2 other phrases. Then there are times it's extremely loud and they are yelling at me. Constantly repeating the same thing extremely negative and abusive. They've never told me to harm anyone or myself until yesterday they told me to grab the gun from the closet and kill myself. I've been hearing voices for almost a year now. I am a mother to two teenage boys I have a husband who is having an affair and little family. I have absolutely no one to talk to except my psychiatrist and that's only once a month now every two months. At first I tried not taking any medication and it seemed like they were going to disappear but eventually I got on meds because my mom was getting angry at me all the time for talking to myself. I really do talk out loud to myself a lot and she could never tell. I only got on them because I didn't want her getting mad at me anymore. I don't get enough time with the Dr. I'm struggling and am tired of being by myself and feeling alone. I need a friend someone who is going through something similar to me so I can become more strong minded, feel less alone, and feel comforted knowing that I am not crazy that I am not the only person who is hearing voices. I hope you respond to my comment and answer my question. It would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. If I have any ideas in the near future for a video I will leave another comment and let you know. Thank you so much. I hope all is well with you.
I'm here because I would like to learn more about the mind. It's very interesting to learn about the human condition. I think that the mind is like an antenna or a radio station. I don't hear voices but I heard a voice of a female in my head after watching people talking about this. Its like the law of attraction is getting me. lol
Hey don’t worry some day everything will be ok I have auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations Every thing will get better if you try ignore then or do something you love That’s my remedy but does not always work for me so I take a shower
I reached out to you a few years ago probably now, never got any reply, don’t hold that against you or anything I get it but I care for my mom who has Parkinson’s and Parkinsons psychosis/delusions/paranoid delusions/auditory and visual hallucinations but mostly minor compared to delusions. Anyway I’ve dealt with this for a few years now and don’t get me wrong I’m not saying I have answers but can’t help but wonder if we couldn’t benefit from each others experience
I really want to know that, can you really handle with those voices? You said the voices telling you the harm yourself or the others. Have you ever harm yourself or someone else? I mean in a serious way like stabbing or (Idk what else you could do?) And when you listen to music, do they still trying to say something to you? And also for the other videos you can talk about songs that you listen to or you can try to speak foreign languages (I don't know if you have ever done one of these). Bye ~~
+IhaveSchizophernia Do you listen to music to try and Block out the hallucinating Voice's By chance ? I Have Mild AUTISM and I have "Hyperacusus" I can hear a Very Hi-pitched Ringing sound others Can't. It comes from Electronic devices, i.e. I hear it in both indoor and outdoor Lights, Tablets, Cell Phone's, Tv's, Lap Top /Computers, Dish washer's, Dryers refrigerators, Freezers, and clothes Dryers. Sometime's my hearing randomly Spikes and Everyday Noise i hear is Literally Ear Shattering Loud it's painful. I wear over the head. Headphone's called "Ear defender's" they help to block out the Overwhelmingly Loud noise that I hear. Thing's that can hurt my ears : like Daily Conversations, Kids playing or talking, Dogs Barking, ect, I also Listen to Music under my Ear Defenders to help ease my Severe Anxiety Thats caused by the sudden increase of my hearing. It can last for 15 minutes to an hour or more it comes and goes I Can't control how long it last for, sadly. I Never Leave home or go anywhere without my "Ear Defender headphones" or my "Music" they are my Life savers. Anyways I'm just wondering if Music might help you out with the Voices like at night.
Thank you for answering, Very sorry that your recovery is such a challenge, I am someone who lost a sister due to self harm. It's something I have never been able to put behind me.
Last night woke up from a panic attack in my sleep and when I was about to try to go to sleep i hear a little girls voice it sounded like it was coming from upstairs and she kept saying”daddy?” Like she was looking for her dad but she said daddy over and over for like a minute straight and we have no children in the house. I wasn’t scared cause I knew it was just my head cause it was impossible. I get scared by the adult voices.
Imagine others existed that could see across time, thus see all, thus look at the present time from the outside and see into your mind, mess with your mind, insert sounds voices images, etc. With their minds having this feature of extending across time, their intellect would be absolutely massive. Man oh man they could mess with those tiny human minds, and do so to levels that those tiny human minds would never have thought of as possible even in their wildest dreams. The "others" could know of the full content of a movie and force a human victims thoughts to correlate with the contents of the movie, and do so to such a brilliant extent that the human victim would be 100% convinced that a character within the movie is speaking to them, conversing with them. The same could be applied to a human victim sitting in a restaurant, hearing people in the restaurant as they speak, and then be forced by the "others" to think thoughts that make it seem as though all of those people in the restaurant are reading your mind. All this due to forced correlation. The possibilities of what the"others" could do to victims, is endless.
Who is to say? It could be in a universal internet-like function that the brain, when configured a particular way is able to tap into in a partcular way.
Also, not to second guess your diagnoses, but hearing some of your descriptions as you go into delusions make me feel I’d be foolish not to ask if you’re familiar with Lewy-Body Dementia? It’s a Parkinsonian disease, one of the main differences between that and a classic Parkinsons diagnosis is that the delusions and such symptoms present before the movement disorder symptoms come along. Fleeting “shadows” in the peripheral vision is something extremely common too. I know this isn’t exclusive to just LBD but yea, anyway. My moms very old and sadly can’t differentiate between the two at all, like if you think it’s hard to tell the difference for you she can’t even acknowledge there is a difference usually. Anyhow. I think I emailed you or sent you a message on twitter or something she’s ago, but reply if you’d like to chat in some way at some time.
Is there any way you could possibly look at it as more of a gift than an illness? Could you survive off medication, as your natural self? Not trying to be disrespectful
I’m not trying to judge you when I ask this, but do you think the reason or a least part of the reason you have trouble knowing if the voices are real or not is because part of you wants them to be real? And I can totally understand why you would, after all if a god or an alien is telling you they want to give you powers, it would be very cool if it was real. But you’ve also stated your an atheist and thus wouldn’t believe in a god...
Zorkmid123 nah mate, no offense but you’re way off, I know you mean well but you’re essentially suggesting if he just try harder he could better differentiate. If you simply read the definition of delusion you’ll see that’s not the case. I’m not saying there’s never times when he may want them to be real, but that’s because of what he’s hearing from them & has no bearing on the rest, otherwise when they’re telling him terrible things he could easily just decipher that they aren’t real and say hey nbd theyre not real, safe to say he doesn’t want them to be real when they’re tormenting him
Fiveoh Four Voices aren’t delusions, they’re hallucinations. And I’m not suggesting that he needs to try harder to differentiate. Since auditory hallucinations are usually disembodied (they sound like someone is in the same room but you don’t see anyone talking, you just hear them) you can tell that they are different from actual people standing next to you and talking to you. Also, in same cases you may want the voices to be real, if for example they’re telling you good things, like they’re going to give you powers. Voices aren’t always hostile.
Well, I guess is controlling your mind without your consent. It's like another mind trying to connect like an antenna. Try to listen to the book (kybalion) on UA-cam 'Everything is Mental'. It might help.
You are a spirit guide. Can you elaborate when you talk to aliens. What did you guys talk about . What you're seeing and hearing and real very real in your world when you transform to the other world.
The talking to your cat made me chuckle
Hi Jacob! It's ("Enigma" instagram account) Since you are so comprehensive and articulate in your descriptions of your observations dealing with schiz; would you be open to the idea of critiquing one of the simulators of schizophrenia videos as to whether they are accurate or realistic? I know experiences are different from person to person but I think your scientific observation of it would be interesting.
I Think you're awesome. You have taught me (us) much in a very coherent and fascinating way. I wonder if you realize how much you have greatly contributed to the understanding of this illness to the masses. Thank you. till the next video. :) I'm thums up #9
iv got auditory hallucinations and have had from morning to night for the past 3 years and i dont find the simulators 100% correct. there is one that is almost accurate but it has background music "mystic" sound in it and that is not how i have i hear it like someone is standing outside my windows and speaking or as if it was my neighbor being loud.
and they always speak one at a time, all females, like there is a conversation going on between them and that they are doing claims about me and what i do so sometimes i cant help it to answer back to them to correct them. like if i listening to music one voice can say "Joel he always listening to the same music" and then they add something negative and try to make it seem like i am bad for some reason.
Could you make a video about the portrayal of schizophrenia in the media? I think that'd be quite interesting.
Some nights, when it's dark, I start freaking out for no reason. And the fear often triggers weird things to happen,like last time I felt something was standing beside my bed, a presence. Then I thought my cat was in the wardrobe as I heard something moving but i knew he was in a different room. Later on I heard whispers.
Another night it was quiet, but I suddenly heard a yell!
When the nights are like that, i usually can't sleep and stay in my room with the light on. It's terrifying to me.
Natalia Bloch hey you don’t have to be scared anymore Jesus the son of God can get rid of them evil demons you just have repent and ask him into your heart and you’ll be saved
Natalia Bloch it started for me like that. i really need help
piloto 1969 Hey if you, want help or discuss you can email me at eseosa15@gmail.com
My voices talk to each other and narriate my daily activities,some say they love me,others tell me to kill people,the demons say theyre going to posess me,hurt me etc.i hate when they mumble sometimes.
I always get happy when I see you’ve posted, glad to know you’re well
Been with u for a while man. Stay strong and never give up. Your actually inspiring.
Much love!
I love your videos, they're very informative and I love your outlook on life.
maybe you should make a vid just listening to the voices and saying what they say. My voices were a guy and a girl, thick ghetto/black accent talking to eachother commenting on everything I'm doing, usually being kind of mean, but the bad part about it is they were always somewhere people could be like outside the window or in the next aisle over in a grocery store, around a corner ect. and if I went to look to see if there were people there they would stop or be somewhere else out of sight. They were always the same people so I learned to usually be able to tell if it was them or real people.
DirtyBird760 Gawd, that sounds so frigging annoying! I don’t (think I) have schizophrenia but lately the anti-anxiety meds I’ve been on seem to be causing... I don’t know what to call them - “head zaps”?? I’m hard of hearing and have constant tinnitus; the “head zaps” are like periodic super loud tinnitus blasts and I also feel super dizzy when they hit.
Just my relatively little head zaps annoy the heck out of me. I don’t want to think of how annoying full-on VOICES would be, especially if they were saying mean things.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Bob Downs I bet you’re on cymbalta huh. Tell your doc and switch meds. Slowly.
Yea they’re always within reach, that’s just part of how the brain “legitimizes” them I guess, otherwise you’d be admitting they’re coming from nowhere and that’s not usually easy for people with delusions, maybe easier with hallucinations alone. My mom always thinks they’re somewhere in the house or right outside her window or in the backyard, or even under the patio umbrella, she also thinks they’re tiny people too sometimes.
Fiveoh Four Not on Cymbalta. Finally got to see my doc the other day about this. It’s from switching from Effexor to Amitriptyline. Went too slow getting up to my right dose on Amitriptyline and too quick coming down off Effexor. Corrected that starting yesterday and already feel better with fewer head zaps.
Bob Downs ah ok yea Effexor is basically cymballta, they’re both SNRI’s. And yea too much/too little will do that. Glad you got it straightened out
so I don't usually have voices I hear out in the physical.. but if you've ever talked to yourself in your head and heard that voice in your imagination, that's where my voices talk and they can talk a LOT. they've told me to kill myself, they guilt me and told me on several occasions to start a suicide note. It may be schizophrenia or something else, but I feel these thoughts/voices are too common for me to say I'm normal and on top of that I get anxiety, paranoia and delusions and have had mood swings and depression in the past. No matter what it is, I'm currently diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder
First of all, I would like to thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have always been fascinated by mental illness and how they affect people, or how these people think and see the world. You helped me so much to understand more about them, I'm even using this knowledge to help me when I write about the topic. Secondly, I would like to suggest a video showing your point of view of various subjects you feel comfortable talking, because I feel like you think different of others, and it would be very interesting. Thanks :) (and sorry for my bad english lol) (do a video outside too when you overcome the insecurity, I and many others would love)
Great video - I agree with you schizophrenia is very fascinating - you mentioned hearing voices when you are lying down in bed trying to sleep, that is the time my voices first started and my psychiatric nurse said a lot of her patients say their voices get worse when they are lying down in bed trying to sleep
i found this channel today and i’ve been watching a lot of videos of him talking about his mental illness since i am extremely fascinated by and interested in these topics. i really wonder what he saw during this video, but i do understand that this might be too personal. i‘m definitely grateful that he‘s sharing his experience and talking about it so freely.
You can make a vlog no.2 like what's going on in your life right now, future plans, how do you spend a typical day at home etc.
Or you can make a video about your favourite films and films you wanna see.
Or you can talk about how you get over a 'depressive episode' like how do you stay positive, what helps you in difficult times to move on.
Every time I have a vivid dream. I have strange conversations too, but by the time I wake up I can't remember anything. It's almost like there's two of me, and one of me is stuck in highschool forever.
Weird, I usually only have male voices but I do have a female voice
Another great video Jacob, could u do a video on panic attacks and how to deal with them , explain how it feels like and why it happens (flight or fight)
Could you make a video about experience with therapy and psychiatric evaluations? I'm not sure if you've made a video over the topics but if like to hear your experiences with it only because I'm going to have to go thru it soon.I really appreciate your videos, keep going strong. 😊
5:30 the guy who invented PCR tests (like for COVID, & a mil other revolutionary things in science); he pulled over on the side of the road, & hallucinated an alien telling him the techniques. he won the nobel prize for that. real or not. _JC
GREAT VIDEO BUDDY I LOVE IT
Maybe you could do a video outside your bedroom like in another room or a video more about yourself like your personality, friends, family etc.
Do you live alone or with family? Do people ever question why your talking to yourself? How do your parents or family or friends react when you have a hallucination or something? I get if these are to personal or something
I find ur videos keep me company.i lov u.
Your videos are absolutely fascinating. When you have visual hallucinations when you do your videos will you describe to us what your seeing please
You could do a video of what you do in a typical day? Or maybe reviewing movies about mental illness? And as always You rock:)!
My name is Eric.
Because I believe that you're not faking It I'm going to show you respect and be honest with you right from the get-go.
I've been watching your video posts for a couple years now. I really haven't taken a heck of alot of benefit from them... other than I was needing to hear some people talk about mental illness and maybe give me some hope. Again I don't want to sound cruel but if anything sometimes I would see people that appeared to be in worse shape than myself and I would realize how lucky I was... and thank God for it (obviously not for other people being sicker than me, but for the fact that it could be alot worse or me) Sometimes that was enough to get me through the day.
You stated on one of your videos that one of the last things in the world that you want is sympathy. Someone's pity, feeling sorry for me, that's nothing I'd want either. I very much respect that, but I did tell you I was going to be honest... I return to your channel and watch your videos mainly to see how you're doing. If that annoys you, forgive me... lol.
I'm 52 In September of 2013 (I was 47) for the first time in my life I experienced an auditory hallucination. It was in the form of voices. I'm not going to give you my whole history with the shit... it's not all that important. The fact is I've been dealing with auditory verbal hallucinations everyday of my life since then. I want you to know who I am... That I'm not somebody just telling you something with no experience with AVH.
I don't want to come across as being cold... When I hear you say that you have trouble determining what's real and what isn't when you're hearing voices.. Brother if you're alone in a room and you hear somebody talking to you it's not real. Unless you are talking with someone on your cell phone or chatting with someone on a computer or your cat learns to talk... I mean seriously.
My life has been affected by this in a very negative way.. I'm very angry about it. To have a relatively normal/quiet mind for 47 years then have that taken away from you... for me it's been more than I can get past (in terms of daily anger). I have no underlying diagnosis of: schizophrenia, depression or bipolar disorder.
I'm very grateful that within an hour of hearing voices for the first time I correctly recognized what the situation was. I was honest with myself and recognized that something snapped in my head. I thank God that I'm not one of these poor souls that when experiencing AVH believe they are hearing the voice of God, or or they're being pursued by the CIA and that the CIA is beaming live conversation into their mind by means of microphone and radio waves... or some other far out delusion.
Let me close by saying that I wish you all the best. Always know that if you're alone in a room and hear someone talking to you... no matter how interesting the conversation might be for you, it is not based in reality, it's not real.
Have you ever intentionally or accidentally recorded yourself when you have had any hallucinations and went back and reviewed it? I'm not eluding to wanting to see it because I expect that to be very personal. I just wondered if they were ever influenced by something you had recently read or viewed. I remember you spoke about being influenced by that movie.
Thanks ☺️
Cy B I thought of that too while watching his video. Already using video recording for this channel. Why not use it when things that may be hallucinations start happening? Then, at least, you could review the video later and see on the video whether “it” was really there.
I wonder whether the hallucinations last long enough to grab the camera and point it at “it”. Hm....
This is definitely fascinating.
Bob Downs i think he stated a while back that when his hallucinations are happening he doesn’t think about recording or can’t even fathom pressing a button or think about it bc he’s in too deep. something along those lines. but honestly people, you’re asking for a lot. it’s personal and it’s his illness. and just because he’s on youtube, certain things should be out of question to even ask. i doubt you would ask one of your friends sufferings from it to record their episodes.
nadnu You’re right. It is asking a lot. Just wanted to share an idea that I thought might help. Wasn’t asking him to post the video, if he was able to record it. Just thought it might be useful to him and him alone.
In my experience they (voices) can be influenced by recently viewed or read subject matter and people u recently have interacted with i.e. ppl from work. There is a deeper matrix to this as well and it can seem that your brain is tuning in to unusual frequencies for unexplained reasons.
Thing is it's one thing to hallucinate, another to start investing time and effort into them. Back in my late teens I read a number of books by the late Doris Stokes, who was a famous medium. In her early childhood she would see/hear all manner of things that petrified her. It was only through her guide that she learned how to be a gate keeper to them (keeping the negative out while welcoming the positive). Now we all have our own beliefs around this sort of thing, but in the case of a downward trend to our mental well-being it's imperative to have the foresight to notice when our mental well-being is taking a downward slide and to get it addressed as soon as... That may mean taking those thoughts/beliefs that we keep trapped within ourself to health professionals etc. What ever the process it's important to stop that train of thought and get a tight grip on our well-being and perhaps in time be our own gate keepers. If I am honest in the case of quiet voices if they are demonic, are they through being quiet enticing someone to steer and train their concentration to a state of mind where they manifest? In the case of making someone feel important are they seducing someone to engage in conversation and as trust is gained start manipulating. There does seem to be a pattern of outcomes to voice hearers and it tends to be one of torment...
"Ain't that right, you real old! ....She's so old." 😂
Thanks very much for doing these, I learn a lot from them.
I would like to ask a question about hallucinations. Do they happen at random times, or is there anything that causes them to be more likely to occur? Like, I dunno, maybe exhaustion from not sleeping well for a few nights?
Thanks :)
I really like ur vids !
Please keep them coming !
Ok but 1 question: one of ur vids you said: i hear dark/low male voices.
Were those just auditorial, or with visual hallucinations ? (I believe it was the vid with the hand crawling out of the lamp)
Looking forward to ur reply. And keep uploading ur vids, u help shitloads of people !
Gr from Europe, Holland !
These videos are very interesting to me, and I can relate with a lot of the symptoms! I don't think I have schizophrenia (though I do have very similar experiences on a regular basis), but I do have autism (which is mildly problematic in and of itself). My hallucinations are quite minor and the auditory usually only take the form of my mom or sister calling my name or the sound of foot steps outside my door. It's almost impossible to tell what's real and what's not. Like I said, I don't think I have schizophrenia, as they are usually very minor, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. This comment is quite ironic as I've just gotten home from my first appointment with a psychiatrist for my anxiety.
Hello! Love your videos.. I'm learning a lot. My husband suffers from schizophrenia also and i was wondering (if you haven't done a video like this yet) if you could make a video with advice for significant others in dealing with an episode. He takes medicine and it helps but he never tells me when he runs out so if he has an episode I'm not sure if he's having one or he's just being difficult lol. I guess advice on how to deal with an episode and how to acknowledge someone is having one if they don't tell you. I'm sure it's different for everyone but it's like to know your opinion. Thanks! Oh by the way, his illness of all auditory voices... if that helps.
Nikki_D1919 hey, I encourage you to simply search google for “coping with schizophrenia” or “schizophrenia impact on family/loved ones” or “tips or caretakers” etc. search UA-cam as well, there’s a wealth of info out there.
that really sucks that your blood pressure was low its a good thing you went down on your meds a little bit it probably made your blood pressure lower
Hi! Have you ever experienced derealisation? I also have schizophrenia and experience that a lot, usually when I have a stressful day. If you have, can you talk about that? It would really help hearing someone else's experience. Love your videos btw.
hi jacob- just leaving a comment to show my support :)) i hope you've been doing well! much love xx
Could you do a video on your theory of everything? I would like to know your thoughts on how you believe the Universe (multiverse) came into existence. It's so fascinating to ponder that. I mean at some point in a fucking ridiculous unfathomable amount of ancient time, there was absolutely nothing and from nothingness an energy consciousness appeared that began creating. What created that energy consciousness if there was nothing before it? Then dimensions started being built and eventually creating our 3D reality. Then the first Universe popped into existence and eventually our Universe came into existence. It's a topic too few discuss but I would love to hear peoples theories. Great video by the way.
I’d love to know what your relationship is like is with your parents, gf, friends etc
But especially with your parents...if it’s not a too personal request/question.
Thanks!
Btw, love your videos! Keep it up!! :D
hahahahaha "AINT THAT RIGHT? YOU OLD"
have you ever thought that the hallucinations might actually be real and that other people just can`t pick up on them. like we have our senses boosted up a little too high and so we can tune into higher frequencies.
freezkeer interesting but two schizo dsnt see or hear the same things
it would be interesting to get us all in one room together and see what happens.
i have a theory that they are trying to get us to overcome our fears, or at least i think that`s what mine are trying to do to me, ... i hope.
i just refuse to accept that we have a mental illness. i think it`s more the other way around.
I think what you’re seeing and hearing are real and you’re not mental at all because you feel touch and see perfectly
The two of them may be tuned to different 'frequencies'.
Could you maybe talk about the difference between auditory/visual hallucinations outside of your head and experiencing them inside your mind? (if that makes sense, hallucinating unwanted images & voices that are inside your mind, rather than things you see with your eyes or hear with your ears.) If you have any experience with this; I think it's an interesting part of hallucinations that isn't discussed. Thankyou so much for all the videos you make and everything you do with your channel. Many others, as well as myself, benefit and find strength through engaging with your videos. Please keep doing what you are doing, I hope your new dose is better for you, too! :)
I used to (in my mind's eye) see my teeth bend and when it happened I could feel it. Not pleasent. That and a few other things as well around that time. The teeth one though, I can still barely feel it if I think about it, but not nearly to the point it was at a couple decades back. I just remember that the intensity of the thought and the reaction to the thought faded as time went on. I also at that time had a image of a stuffed doll, like raggedy anne doll, being mutiliated and looking into black beady eyes of the doll as it was happening. It was also not pleasent, and made me cry at least once.
I would hear the ceiling cracking and bolts falling and I always thought the house was gonna fall on me.
I would also hear growling and hissing and even explosions it made me look really weird to other people when I was reacting to things that weren't real.
I love that wallpaper!!!
i hear a voice one male voice 24 hours a day its just raw i understand everything the voice tells me.2 options i have meditation or hear the voices and feel just crazy inside my body too much anxiety with the voices
Do the voices sound like they're coming from within your head, or from somewhere in your external environment?
MiscellaneousVideos Well I started hearing voices at 11 (I’m 12 now) and I can tell you I heard it from in my head and I have recently started hallucinating and it is cool and scary at the same time.
MiscellaneousVideos that’s what I’ve always wondered
In my experience with auditory hallucinations (voices) some seem to be in my head and some seem to be outside my head. My guess is that Jacob has various interactions.
they start like whispers in the wind and end up inside ur head they become louder and louder
Np
i actually wonder what happens during sleep, how you feel.. do you still hear voices in your dreams? or do you have normal dreams and nightmares..
machinka normal i quess
thank you so much for responding and btw I don't judge anyone I just genuinely care to understand what is happening around me and in other people's lives.. therefore i really appreciate you for taking the time to respond xx
How were you diagnosed with schizophrenia? My father was schizophrenic and my mom was manic depressive. I'm worried about being in the early stages of schizophrenia but not having hallucinations.
How,much does Seroquel actually reduce the amount of voices you hear? Have you ever had a period in your life (after age 11) where you didn’t hear voices?
Zorkmid123 Hello, fellow Eugenia fan ☺️
Hi! Could you force yourself to hear positive things, or do you completely go with the flow? Can you watch horror movies as entertainment?
The voices I hear always tell me to stop what I'm doing it's so annoying
Do you hear random sounds not just voices like footsteps etc
Also do you blackout when you hear voices sometimes. I remember something happening but I can't remember what happened
Good video I liked this one
My son is 27 and non verbal and I’m pretty sure by his behaviors that he has bouts of auditory hallucinations. He runs thru the house screeching and slapping himself in his ears! 😔it’s really messed up! He’s on seraquel too n it helps. But not all the time. I feel for you! I really hope you have good days! I’ll keep you in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing. ❤️👊
What the hell are those hahaha, what did you see up there?
im thinking flies or something
Most likely just an “almost hallucination” or “fleeting passage” where something in your peripheral vision catches your attention and you have to focus there for a moment to see if you actually saw something or not. Just a guess though, could just be he looks up when thinking and got distracted
Maybe it's silly, but i'm really curious if you can control (or rather guide) the hallucinations? for example can you induce them? can you guide a conversation?
Tell us about your life what do you do? What do you hate doing but have to? What do you like to do? What takes up most your time?
hello i have recently "3 years ago " been diagnosed with schizophrenia and i mostly have auditory hallucinations and i wrote to you on facebook i hope to get some advice on how to handle it cause now im not handleing it at all. i wrote in more detail on how i think i got it and how it is affecting me and i really need help. hope you can spare a sec to look this way and give some pointers on how to deal with it and what treatment are avalible , my doctor or doctors, i have switched frequently and noone seems to know how to treat me i have tried atleast 5-6 different anti psychotic medicines and and 3 different injections and none work.
Mine told me I was schizophrenic they didn't want me to hear them...so I questioned logic I thought it was one of my family members... did I mention it hurt so bad when you hear them!!!it went away when I went in the shower. My delusion was that people talked like this and that I was missing out lol never happened again but I do hear clicks and meat being chopped which gave me paranoia super bad
Fascinating
I talk to my stuffed animals and imaginary friends and I hear them talk back to me
What’s the medicine in your mod called? I’m kinda having the same issues as you.
Seems like you would benefit from a delusion that makes you invisible, then you could go outside.
could you make a video about poor memory?
I have a friend who has schizophrenia. She sees a polish music artist every day, and he talks to her constantly. She says they’re married. When I talk to her, I always play along when she start talking about him, but I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. She thinks she’ll die soon and go to heaven with him (she’s 16). I try to tell her she won’t die, and that she should go and talk to her psychiatrists and get help. She doesn’t go to school because of depression and anxiety, and I worry about her a lot. How should I talk to her? I always feel like I’m doing the wrong thing. When I tell her something that she doesn’t believe, she tells me that [name redacted] tells her she can’t talk about it, and denies what I say. Thank you.
I’ve been hearing voices a lot lately and seeing things and having really bad delusions but I don’t know how to tell my mom what’s going on. Do you have any advice on that?
Just tell her if you feel you need to, or tell someone who can empathize.
fear of wide open space = agoraphobia. it is more common than you would think esp. when accompanied with visual and auditory hallucinations. Demanding auditory female voices as hallucinations might stem from a repressed memory during preadolescent childhood; not always necessarily a mother figure. It may tie together with the agoraphobia. Have you considered psychoanalysis and regression? Most psychologists jump straight to drugs, but some of the early Freudian psychology practices are still the best (but they cost $) for identifying the roots of many types of delusions, if certain forms of medication, do not trigger secondary delusional states (that usually also sedate, and are "safer" on medical terms). When you're alone try responding, in case (in the rare theological phenomenon of foresight and/or divine communication) there is a higher power trying to get through to you. If those voices sound threatening and ask self affliction of you or cruel oppression of others, tone them out by listening to music or doing something constructive (like a hobby) to distract you from them. Many times, much of what they say will be forgotten but not all.
I'm not sure of what to ask you for in a video posting but I do have a question. I'm curious if you are able to have a stable job given the fact that you have auditory hallucinations. I'm currently unemployed and I got denied for SSI they stated that my condition is controllable by the medication I'm taking. I haven't reapplied I'm actually updating my resume and looking for jobs. My current living situation is in crisis and I have to get a job. I am scared as hell. The medication works but not good enough. I can always hear the voices. At times it's extremely quiet but not silent. I can always hear my name and 2 other phrases. Then there are times it's extremely loud and they are yelling at me. Constantly repeating the same thing extremely negative and abusive. They've never told me to harm anyone or myself until yesterday they told me to grab the gun from the closet and kill myself. I've been hearing voices for almost a year now. I am a mother to two teenage boys I have a husband who is having an affair and little family. I have absolutely no one to talk to except my psychiatrist and that's only once a month now every two months. At first I tried not taking any medication and it seemed like they were going to disappear but eventually I got on meds because my mom was getting angry at me all the time for talking to myself. I really do talk out loud to myself a lot and she could never tell. I only got on them because I didn't want her getting mad at me anymore. I don't get enough time with the Dr. I'm struggling and am tired of being by myself and feeling alone. I need a friend someone who is going through something similar to me so I can become more strong minded, feel less alone, and feel comforted knowing that I am not crazy that I am not the only person who is hearing voices. I hope you respond to my comment and answer my question. It would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. If I have any ideas in the near future for a video I will leave another comment and let you know. Thank you so much. I hope all is well with you.
Jajaja lol at see you guys tomorrow. Sorry, not tomorrow. See you sometime 🙂 and that smile when the video started. Loved it.
What's your vape device? I want to get one of my own.
I'm here because I would like to learn more about the mind. It's very interesting to learn about the human condition. I think that the mind is like an antenna or a radio station. I don't hear voices but I heard a voice of a female in my head after watching people talking about this. Its like the law of attraction is getting me. lol
I get both, mostly female
Hey don’t worry some day everything will be ok
I have auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations
Every thing will get better if you try ignore then or do something you love
That’s my remedy but does not always work for me so I take a shower
I have a ear problem which also might be part of it.
Do these voice ever tell you any information you didn't know...
I talk to people through people through the tv also
Thank you for your videos they are most helpful as I have just been diagnosed with Sz.
I reached out to you a few years ago probably now, never got any reply, don’t hold that against you or anything I get it but I care for my mom who has Parkinson’s and Parkinsons psychosis/delusions/paranoid delusions/auditory and visual hallucinations but mostly minor compared to delusions. Anyway I’ve dealt with this for a few years now and don’t get me wrong I’m not saying I have answers but can’t help but wonder if we couldn’t benefit from each others experience
Have you tried TMS for auditory hallucinations?
What was that you were seeing in the ceeling?
When I hear voices in my head it’s always demons and they’re all male
they aren't unreal. Don't doubt yourself, Mulder.
You tried magic mushrooms on low dosage... They useing them now for depression.
I really want to know that, can you really handle with those voices? You said the voices telling you the harm yourself or the others. Have you ever harm yourself or someone else? I mean in a serious way like stabbing or (Idk what else you could do?) And when you listen to music, do they still trying to say something to you? And also for the other videos you can talk about songs that you listen to or you can try to speak foreign languages (I don't know if you have ever done one of these). Bye ~~
+IhaveSchizophernia Do you listen to music to try and Block out the hallucinating Voice's By chance ? I Have Mild AUTISM and I have "Hyperacusus" I can hear a Very Hi-pitched Ringing sound others Can't. It comes from Electronic devices, i.e. I hear it in both indoor and outdoor Lights, Tablets, Cell Phone's, Tv's, Lap Top /Computers, Dish washer's, Dryers refrigerators, Freezers, and clothes Dryers. Sometime's my hearing randomly Spikes and Everyday Noise i hear is Literally Ear Shattering Loud it's painful. I wear over the head. Headphone's called "Ear defender's" they help to block out the Overwhelmingly Loud noise that I hear. Thing's that can hurt my ears : like Daily Conversations, Kids playing or talking, Dogs Barking, ect, I also Listen to Music under my Ear Defenders to help ease my Severe Anxiety Thats caused by the sudden increase of my hearing. It can last for 15 minutes to an hour or more it comes and goes I Can't control how long it last for, sadly. I Never Leave home or go anywhere without my "Ear Defender headphones" or my "Music" they are my Life savers. Anyways I'm just wondering if Music might help you out with the Voices like at night.
Have you harmed yourself? And was it because of the voices.
Thank you for answering, Very sorry that your recovery is such a challenge, I am someone who lost a sister due to self harm. It's something I have never been able to put behind me.
the voices tell u to harm urself they want u to kill urself
Whit beard or not when a guy is nice is nice! Stay strong:)
Do a Q&A
can you hallucinate just like, random noise though? cause lately I've been hearing a baby crying but I know FOR SURE there's not a baby in the house.
Maria Petra yes
Last night woke up from a panic attack in my sleep and when I was about to try to go to sleep i hear a little girls voice it sounded like it was coming from upstairs and she kept saying”daddy?” Like she was looking for her dad but she said daddy over and over for like a minute straight and we have no children in the house. I wasn’t scared cause I knew it was just my head cause it was impossible. I get scared by the adult voices.
Hey hey Jacob
Imagine others existed that could see across time, thus see all, thus look at the present time from the outside and see into your mind, mess with your mind, insert sounds voices images, etc. With their minds having this feature of extending across time, their intellect would be absolutely massive. Man oh man they could mess with those tiny human minds, and do so to levels that those tiny human minds would never have thought of as possible even in their wildest dreams. The "others" could know of the full content of a movie and force a human victims thoughts to correlate with the contents of the movie, and do so to such a brilliant extent that the human victim would be 100% convinced that a character within the movie is speaking to them, conversing with them. The same could be applied to a human victim sitting in a restaurant, hearing people in the restaurant as they speak, and then be forced by the "others" to think thoughts that make it seem as though all of those people in the restaurant are reading your mind. All this due to forced correlation. The possibilities of what the"others" could do to victims, is endless.
When you talk to the voices/aliens , is it out loud or in your head?
Who is to say? It could be in a universal internet-like function that the brain, when configured a particular way is able to tap into in a partcular way.
I got off Seroquel they switch my medicines to Latuda
Also, not to second guess your diagnoses, but hearing some of your descriptions as you go into delusions make me feel I’d be foolish not to ask if you’re familiar with Lewy-Body Dementia? It’s a Parkinsonian disease, one of the main differences between that and a classic Parkinsons diagnosis is that the delusions and such symptoms present before the movement disorder symptoms come along. Fleeting “shadows” in the peripheral vision is something extremely common too. I know this isn’t exclusive to just LBD but yea, anyway. My moms very old and sadly can’t differentiate between the two at all, like if you think it’s hard to tell the difference for you she can’t even acknowledge there is a difference usually. Anyhow. I think I emailed you or sent you a message on twitter or something she’s ago, but reply if you’d like to chat in some way at some time.
When you were talking to aliens, were they male or female?
Zorkmid123 what difference does it makes?
DHRUV RAWAT I’m curious because he said the voices he hears are all female, so I wanted to know if that applied to the alien voices as well.
Zorkmid123 Yeah and what difference would the gender of the voices would make? I mean does it implies something psychological?
The aliens are attracted to humans because they are human, so they use the voice of the opposite sex. Mine tell me that they are polygomous, weird.
What were you seeing above you?
I hope you are doing okay.
Is there any way you could possibly look at it as more of a gift than an illness? Could you survive off medication, as your natural self? Not trying to be disrespectful
I’m not trying to judge you when I ask this, but do you think the reason or a least part of the reason you have trouble knowing if the voices are real or not is because part of you wants them to be real? And I can totally understand why you would, after all if a god or an alien is telling you they want to give you powers, it would be very cool if it was real. But you’ve also stated your an atheist and thus wouldn’t believe in a god...
Zorkmid123 nah mate, no offense but you’re way off, I know you mean well but you’re essentially suggesting if he just try harder he could better differentiate. If you simply read the definition of delusion you’ll see that’s not the case. I’m not saying there’s never times when he may want them to be real, but that’s because of what he’s hearing from them & has no bearing on the rest, otherwise when they’re telling him terrible things he could easily just decipher that they aren’t real and say hey nbd theyre not real, safe to say he doesn’t want them to be real when they’re tormenting him
Fiveoh Four Voices aren’t delusions, they’re hallucinations. And I’m not suggesting that he needs to try harder to differentiate. Since auditory hallucinations are usually disembodied (they sound like someone is in the same room but you don’t see anyone talking, you just hear them) you can tell that they are different from actual people standing next to you and talking to you. Also, in same cases you may want the voices to be real, if for example they’re telling you good things, like they’re going to give you powers. Voices aren’t always hostile.
Zorkmid123 I deal with this shit every single day in real life, there’s fine lines between this shit, I see delusions involving voices every day
Why do you not have disorganized speech? sorry if it's a bad question
i have disorganized speech u too?
Aliens? Viscous metaloids and magnets. Women? Oh boy, what did they do to you?
I have a question does having schizophrenia feel like you're being controlled? Or is it just me?
Well, I guess is controlling your mind without your consent. It's like another mind trying to connect like an antenna. Try to listen to the book (kybalion) on UA-cam 'Everything is Mental'. It might help.
Do a video on ur zodiac chart
You are a spirit guide. Can you elaborate when you talk to aliens. What did you guys talk about . What you're seeing and hearing and real very real in your world when you transform to the other world.
