What does schizophrenia feel like?
From what I've seen a lot of anxiety and panic, along with hypersexuality and chronic masturbation.
>>153375314Tha'ts the thing. YOu dont feel it. Only the people arouind you. The question - do you trust others to take care of you or...they will just abuse you for profit
Imagine taking no joy in anything, having no purpose in life and being alienated from everyone else, all while your grip on reality comes and goes and your personal life is nothing more than boring poverty micromanaged by burnt out people who don't see you as fully human.

>>153375406>you dont feel it>>153375470I wanted to say something nice to try and cheer you up but I couldn't think of anything
>>153375470It sounds to me like you've got a lot more going on than just schizophrenia
>>153375314>What does schizophrenia feel like?I'm not sure, but from what I can tell, it causes you to want to post about Ratatouille and Shark Tale nonstop.
>>153375314It doesn't really feel like anything in particular? Maybe paranoia, because you can't tell when something is true or just a hallucination
>>153375314Ask guy or Famicom or Birchy or Sharktalefag

>>153375314Not all hallucinations are the same, nor are you constantly hounded by your waifu 24/7 telling you to killburn everything. Sometimes I was startled by hard blue lights during times of high mental focus(id est exams or the 8th class of the day), which made me unfocused and jittery. Sometimes, it's like a clear voice that is also quiet that comes from outside of the room, like a whisper but also distant coming from places where there are no people or even rooms. The voices -clearly different from my own internal dialogue- say mostly bunk, like a random string of words, but they do catch my attention and make me pause whatever I'm doing. Personally, I think it's a reaction to high stress and fatigue, there are some studies showing similar symptoms on studycases forced to be awake or 48 or longer hours. But schizophrenia isn't just a mental status, it's also going on on long running sentences with little or no segues to bridge all your thoughts together and reaching weird conclusions.
>>153375470Isn't that schizoid personality disorder?
How do i know i have schizoprenia? I made some online tests but nothing really seems to relate i have it, always shows that I'am anxious rather than delusional/paranoid/alucinate. I used to have alucinations as a kid and hear things, and some people in my family do, but none of us are diaguinosed as schizophrenic. The closest it was a parent being kinda diaguinosed with bpd and psychosis. And the case in not full disclousured to me for the traumatic experience that it was to have a parent have a psychotic breakdown and destroy my bedroom and yell at me/us. Its kinda a weird feel, like you have a dormant mental illness that just appears sometimes when you are at your limit, but you feel normal and "foot on the ground" 90% of the time because you realize that you only got that way because of pressure, stress and being isolated from everybody else. you feel as normal as ever. But when i see footage of people with schizophrenia being interviewed i cant help but to see myself partially, and yet I don't feel like That bad yet.
>>153375314Depends on the type and severity. Some people are aware their mind is broken and feel like they're constantly in a surreal nightmare where half the things are fake. The other half don't see anything wrong. In their minds, everything about their view of the world is right. To the point of absurdity. No one in the world is more confident of their own perception than these people.
>>153379623(me)There was a time i could swear to god there was a little kitten stuck inside a abandoned car and i stuck there almost a hour trying to look into a way to get inside the car to help the kitten. Some people even tried to help me with it but nobody heard it. I often alucinate kittens meowing, probably because i really like kittens and because in my life I saw cats dying in horrible ways and it stuck with me, so it probally is a trauma response too. I also alucinated with UFOs when I was little because of the UFO trend and sensasionalist docs that broadcasted on tv. I saw for over a 1 hour a light hovering on my neightboorhood, I don't think anybody but me saw it and people just played it down as a "child hyperactive moment" but i was scared as hell of aliens. after i saw other relates of people that saw the exact same UFO movements in diferent moments in the course of history i concluded that it was a common allucination people had in stress situations or people that live isolated from others for too long.
>>153379762*not that often I alucinate kittens meowing, it used to be a lot worse. Now that there is actual cats near me I almost never had this problem again, thank god.
