What it’s like living with Schizophrenia

What it’s like living with Schizophrenia

Hi I’m Michelle and I have Schizophrenia. I record schizophrenia psychosis episodes on a security camera that I have set up in my apartment. I do this to show people that schizophrenia episodes are often non-violent. I am seriously on my couch talking to myself. Not hurting anyone and not being dangerous. I might make angry faces….but I am still only sitting on my couch.

  1. Schizophrenia is so interesting to me because of how complex it is. And itself still not fully understood.

    One thing I can seem to find is someone recording and describing what they're hallucinating (showing where the hallucination is) identifying in that moment.

    Maybe it's nearly impossible to do that in the moment, but it would be very interesting.

  2. I scratch bc i got an itch
    I vent out loud if i dont have paper to write on. Or im talking to myself to clear my insane thoughts or ideas off of me
    Idc bout the cameras ive grown to love them😂
    I talk to God bout my problems
    My hallucinations scare me
    I can hardley talk at all at wtf i be staring at bc either u feel evik or u see evil
    They tokd me they feed off my fear so im learning not to feel fear when i see them
    Its all just illusions anyway❤
    God bless

  3. your not talking to hallucinations girls. just connected discourse with either fam, frenemies etc… your connected… means you share, pain and pleasure. thoughts and others episodes may impact you.. or your pain may impact others… your sometimes out of your skin or inside it and someone else s in your skin.. sometimes the cahes are your own, sometimes its someone elses … go figure.

  4. You‘re not ill. You have an hyper sensory perception, a gift. You‘re seeing more of the perceivable spectrum, so to say, you are capable of traveling between dimensions quicker than most ,normal‘ humanoids.
    i would love to encourage you to search for terence mckenna‘s persepective on the subject of ‚shizophrenia‘ here on youtube and recommend to get off any psychopharmaca, but nourish your temple and soul in the hands of mother nature. That could look sth like fasting, workout, barefoot walks, skinnydips, hikes, campfirs, herbal teas and loads and loads of sunshine and fresh air, away from hectic situations and other humanoids. You will be rewarded, trust me.

  5. Hello! I know how to get rid of this!

    So who you talk to.. those aren’t hallucinations. They are demons…. And I know who can help! So there is this guy, named Jesus! You probably have heard of Him before, and think He is a fairy tale, but He isn’t!! Jesus died for our sins many years ago, because back before He was born, if you would sin you would have to kill an animal for sacrifice! So God, because He loves us so much, let His son die for our sins! Jesus carried all our sins! (Even ones who aren’t even born yet!!) and demons, well where did they come from? In the beginning, before the world was created, God had all his angels and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, But some wanted to be better then God, and that’s not possible! So The devil, or satan, who was known as Lucifer at the time, gathered all the angels that wanted to fight God, and they lost obviously. The other angels became demons, and Lucifer became satan! Satan and his demons roam the earth today and are giving temptations to people and ending people’s lives too! God hates satan and his demons, and Satan knows his time is short!

    How do I get to know Jesus? Well you have to pray first! Here’s a prayer to have Jesus come into your life! (Pray out loud)

    Dear Jesus Christ,
    I ask that you come into my life and lead me in the right path. Lord I ask that you help me with my Schizophrenia and cure me from these demons! Jesus I know that they don’t come from you! Please come into my life and help me live a life of righteousness! I love you Lord thank you Jesus in Jesus name, Amen.

    Now! That’s not it. Jesus might not cure you right then in there, but believe. Have faith! Pray over and over again. Get a Bible, New Kings James Version is best! Or Nkjv for short. Read it daily, from the beginning you can, but you should read a Psalm first! Psalm is a book in the Bible. Pray and go to church! Go to a Pentecostal church, or watch a church live! Like Brightmoor Christian church in michigan you can search it up on Google! God bless you! Reply if you have questions!

  6. Quedtion: Can you sometimes discern the halucination from reality, or is thisd always real for you?
    I mean no offense asking this question and I'm new to this channel, as well as to youtube.

  9. You're Alone. Isolated. If you had someone in your immediate vicinity you might never have been lead into that head conversation. Also, Scientology practices talking to the voices in certain ways to chase them out. However, Jesus told me to practice holding your breath, tensing up every muscle from head to toe, as a trap for the spirit. Giving it no air. Calmly hold your breath, without pushing out on your eyes. Without overstressing yourself in it. That spirit will never return. You see, those spirits see or smell or sense something that draw them to you. You also may have an injury that misleads a spirit to think you're gravely wounded and it wants to help you "out". Even Bott Flies are capable of accessing communications portions of the brain. An Indonesian bott fly looks like a sickly bumblebee. If you are drawn to an IMAGE of one, wanting to touch it, that makes ght be one insect accessing your mind. Head injury or heavy metal poisoning. Also Copper Sulfide in algae eaters for pools, lakes, ponds can cause acute symptoms. Chronic exposure can look like an organic brain disease. I made a rude comment, earlier. I apologize. I didn't think this was serious. I saw how your dog Snapped angerly at you and I suspected he she saw a spirit. Sometimes we're in an accident and the spirit that might have arrived to take your soul isn't able to and it follows you, thinking it has separated you from "the herd" to, consume your thoughts. Best to be checked for Injur to gut or head, Parasites in stomach or head, check dog for Parasites too. Finally, a pet can pick up spirits too. I'm sorry I was at first so rude to you. RHD

  10. Just started following a young woman here on YouTube – Lauren Kennedy West (@LivongWellAfterSchizophrenia) and she is symptom free after following a ketogenic diet/ treatment for her metabolic (schizo-effective disorder) disorder.

    Check her out! Be well!!

  11. How do u bring yourself back to reality when u start hallucinating? I saw a video of a guy who had a dog that would alert him when ever someone else was in the room so if he told the dog to greet the person and the dog didn't then he knew he was having an episode..how does the mind switch from having a convo to maybe I should check if I'm really speaking to somebody..

  12. Just one question. You can't just ignore the hallucenations or fight them away can you? I feel like ignoring them long enough and saying "they aren't real" would actually take you out of the episode

  13. When hearing hallucinations or spirits, don’t talk to them, but talk to God; see & experience how the conversations, mental distortions & faulty thought processing change. The transformation of your mind, emotion, behavior & spirit will slay that reactive mode in order to proactively Silence the other spirits. They will flee along with any possible addiction in connection these types of episodes. Make talking to the Holy Spirit a daily habit every time you sense hallucinations…they will flee, your life, mind, emotions & behavior will be healed & sweetly set free. The next video may be testimony.
