She had us in the first half, not gonna lie 😂
Omg! She sure did! 😂
Holy shit 3/5 I'm scared
😂
She DID I was like 😮
Nah, I knew these were normal things people do sometimes lol
Do not scare me like that ever again.
I got so scared there too! It is a bit cruel
they do bread the air in and out
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I was saying “that’s false every human does that!” And then she specified and I felt happy 😊
Same lol
That's right,us humans rehearse what we're going to say ,going to the doctors etc.and anyone would feel paranoid if your looked at as if you're stealing. Hey
Do you poop? People with schizophrenia poop, so you probably have it too.- Idiots on tiktok telling people what they have
My exact thought process!
@@mariewhiting2380yea we actually do rehearse before that event happens, but here she's talking about rehearsing when that event had already happened, so ppl repeat conversation often
FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO HAS COMMON SENSE AND JUST DOESN'T SELF-DIAGNOSE PEOPLE!
Is this ironic
hyvää joulua, mutta onko joulu todella joulu, kun et ymmärrä, milloin tulet, mutta et ymmärrä mitä sanon joko tuota tai käytät kääntäjää, koska epäilen, että opit suomea ja jos opit, minun täytyy suomea yu pois bozosta
How can one self-diagnose someone else?
@@paollus8575 It's actually a common thing diagnose someone without being a professional or make streotypes to make people thing me fr
@@mega6076Hush, Suomi.
Ma'am you got me, lol
Aaah! I got hearted!
310 likes but 1 comment? Lemme fix that-
Lol
Me, too! They all applied... except the headphones...cause I don't wear them.
I like the “Ouch” knowing it didn’t hurt lol. That’s definitely me!
I say sorry automatically, even when I walk into light poles.
Yup😂
I do, too. Just the other day I bumped into the wall. Ouch But a high tolerance of pain, but that's it. I'm pretty sure But I am AD HD.
I feel the phone vibrating in my pocket when there's no phone in my pocket
I start double checking my pockets. Like wt..fuuu
Girl! This was such a perfect way to counter these types of videos. Well done!
yeah I was about to comment "I do all of these but I know I'm not schizophrenic" lmao
I know right? I was about to be in the comments like “this is soOoOoOo misleading how could you?!?!” lol
Same i was like “I can relate to all of these but i am no Schizophrenic”
Every schizophrenic dont think hes a schizophrenic so you have another symptom
@@charles2521 except that's not always the case
@@fruitymarvel That's what a schizophrenic would say.
Just kidding man, relax.
I was like... how is this gonna make sense in the end 😅 nice one!!
I was very ready to comment "that's completely normal" before you confirmed that is the point. Very well done. Do not self diagnose ❤
I knew where this was going and I was smiling the whole time. Well done! My daughter needs to heed this advice. She believe the internet over a doctor and it drives me nuts, I mean crazy. Oh hell you know what I mean.
You really caught my attention with the shoplifting paranoia 😂
I was gone say oh she talking about black people 😂
some do think you're shoplifting though....
I have this "paranoia" when my s.o is shopping with me/us because he has tattoos all over his arms and legs. you can clearly tell these tattoos are from prison. good work,but even good work you can tell prison vs street work.
we took the kids shoe and backpack shopping for school the other day and when we walked in they had someone go to the front of the store until we went to the register. one of the other workers was gliding up and down the aisles we went to. we went to the other side of the store and he done it there too. I've gotten tired of feeling paranoid and I test them now to "confirm" a couple days later I return with my oldest because he wasn't with us when we took the other two and I made a day out of just him and I. same 2 of 3 workers and they didn't do the following us and they didn't have anyone stand at the front of the store that time.
Beautifully put. Everyone gets headaches now and then but that doesn’t mean they have a migraine. Everyone gets diarrhoea now and then but it doesn’t mean they have IBS. Every psych disorder has symptoms present in normal behaviour. The difference is the frequency and whether or not these behaviours encroach in our lives. People need to stop self diagnosing
euskalduna?
@@anamari9434 bai! :)
Every one has intense psychotic brakes and intense hallucinations every now and then... That doesn't mean they have schizophrenia... Wait.
Exactly, I have diagnosed ADHD, which has many similar symptoms with autism. People will always jump to autism, especially nowadays.. you'd be surprised how many people say that they are autistic jus because they exhibit 'autistic traits' (I've seen people claim to be autistic because they really like a tv show, or they're passionate about their hobbies, or they feel anxious, or they can't focus) which are very normal, and some are traits of autism, but also traits of so many other illnesses and disorders. I can't wait for all the people who claim to be autistic just because they saw a video on tik tok and did a quick google search to grow up. I hope they feel ashamed at how they made terms like autism, anxiety, depression, mental illness, etc.. seem watered down.
@@thiskindasucks3536 there is some evidence that indicates there isn't any overlap with ADHD and autism. If you have any of these "over lapping" symptoms you just have both. But it's hard to say for sure with our current level of technology. It could be argued that some people with ADHD that have autistic traits are sub clinical for autism and it doesn't really need to be addressed clinically.
This is brilliant. It's so refreshing seeing honest information to help people rather than fear mongering for views
This goes for every disorder. Too many people diagnose themselves with disorders like adhd and autism, when their behaviors are just normal
Yup…ADHD is the flavour of the month, they “definitely” have it because they don’t like to tidy up, and are often late!
I always want to cry when the slightest thing makes them “special “!
Awesome. Love the surprise ending! Such a good message.
Mental health is a grey scale. We are all on it somewhere. We're all a little weird in our own ways. It helps to have open conversation about it.
Well a lot of people may not know about this especially here in PH as it was GODDAMN "Zero Care" or atleast 1% of it
the dsm 5 is complete bs. theres no perfect person on this earth and we all fall down to unperfection
This is the best video ever, thank you. I hate tiktokencers that guide people without discretion. You are an amazing individual for conveying this problem properly.
That's clever and trigger in positive way others to be smarter, I subscribed immediately as I feel empathy from each frame
This is a great video. You are doing an amazing thing. Thank you for being vulnerable and putting yourself out there to help others. You’re an amazing human 💜
Lol I’m schizotypal and have left grocery stores before over the intense fear that people thought I was shop lifting. Scary in the moment, but kinda funny in retrospect.
Love this video. It's important to remember to not self-diagnose. Sending love!! ❤️❤️
Haha beautifully done! If only more creators were as thoughtful about the perils of self diagnosis
Thank you so much for the self-diagnosing disclaimer at the end! People seem to jump at any opportunity to diagnose themselves with just about any neurodivergency.
The only time I've ever heard of someone jumping to self diagnosis is when people are claiming self diagnosis is only when you jump to it from one video.
Maybe only 2% of the population have a low enough IQ to do that.
It takes decades and extensive research to self diagnose.
@@Glacierlune I’ve seen it far too many times, often without much research done to come to such a conclusion.
@@-_selenitepaw_-
I think what you don't understand is that there is an intuitive function of the brain that is an extremely excellent self diagnosis tool.
When people hear about the experiences of people with certain conditions they experience familiarity with their own experiences. The more expensive the familiarity the more likely self diagnosis is accurate.
You might be confusing that as "little reserch" because you're expecting more clinical style research. Which quire a few people actually do on top of the research into people's experiences.
I will agree that looking up the technical information and reading the diagnosis criteria in the DSM 5 would be very helpful.
Tho in some cases it's so painfully obvious. I had an ex that was clearly paranoid schizophrenic. Having halicinarions and his step mom was communicating to him in code from almost every piece of writing he looked at. Am I a clinician? No, is his symptoms profound enough to be obvious to any laymen with a basic knowledge on the subject? Yes. I was a little more careful cause the one thing I didn't know is if those symptoms could also be from another condition.
@@-_selenitepaw_- I will say of course not all self-diagnosis is accurate but most people have to self-diagnose in order to seek help for a clinical diagnosis That's just how things work you are not going to go randomly to a therapist that diagnoses the thing you have unless you have a suspicion of having it
Maybe you're talking about how some people aren't very respectful of the caveat "maybe I have x I should confirm" or probably cuz sometimes we don't know exactly which condition it is but there may be something in that range
@@Glacierlunefound the self dxer. 😅
The smartest video on the internet. I really, really, really hate accounts that try to help ppl diagnose themselves with the most ordinary of symptoms. Thank you, my dear! 👍❤️👏
Oh my God! We need more messages like this out there. Thank you and wow, hahaha!
You’ve become my favorite advocate for us that don’t function in this world quite like everyone else. But this made me laugh. Thank you!!
Was about to say. I do all those things lol
LOL I was checking each one off as you went along thinking most people do these. Good dose of reality.
I do all these things! Have been cleared of not having schizophrenia by a professional - I was worried about it due to my mom. Great point with this vid!
This is scary how accurate this is. Thank you so much for not spreading misinformation. It's nice to see there are people out there like me.
Thank goodness I watched to the end, I was getting proper pissed off for a moment there! Great message.
When I was hospitalized for my first severely paranoid manic episode i was convinced the only answer was schizophrenia but i was wrong and have bipolar and that bipolar people can experience psychosis and affect level changes. I experience such a wide range of similar things so all psychosis content is always helpful and relatable. I even take the same medication as many people with schizophrenia yet what i'm experiencing isnt fully the same! It took a lot of doctors and many weeks before i got my final diagnosis. self diagnosis can be good for noticing ones mind might not be fully healthy but i would never be able to treat myself on my own without my medical team
I’m bipolar and schizoaffective :( My first symptoms started when I was 12, which is bizarre because it usually happens between 18-30. I know I have these conditions genetically because my mothers grandmother and my dad’s grandmother both had schizophrenia, and my dad and his mom have Bipolar 1 😢
same here. i had ONE hallucination/paranoia episode in the ER and thought ive graduated to schizo in some wild ass way. no, just a new bi-polar event.
THANK YOU omg i was about to comment something like "this is so generalized and misleading, mentally healthy people experience these too"
this needs to go viral!
I do all of the 5 things too, thank you for sharing. You’re absolutely right we shouldn’t always jump to conclusions and self diagnosis
Pauses video after list of things.
Types comment explaining basically everyone does all of these things.
Finishes video.
Deletes first comment.
Thank you for sharing a video like this. Too many people self diagnose!
Also, you totally had me going!!! Haha.
Oh I’m so glad to see a twist in a video like this after having to metaphorically detox from all TikToks I’ve seen recently that encourage self diagnosis while listing things that are also things neurotypical folks do regularly. The amount of times I’ve had to almost audibly say to my phone that not being motivated to finish a task is not *always* a sign of disability and can be quite typical has been too damn high.
This was such a great short! I love this one. It needs to be shared with everyone
Your eyes are so nice. One of my very dearest friends has schizophrenia. I 🎉feel she is so much more than her diagnosis though. I wish she could see herself this way too.
I was about to be so mad. Thank you for turning this video around to give the right message.
I thought this was going to be about how folks with schizophrenia are still human. This is even better.
thank you for calling out the shallow thinkers so they can educate themselves.
i clicked in this curious, KNOWING my hypochondria would latch onto this, but i couldnt make myself click away because i was curious! the relief i felt, honestly i shouldnt be suprised as you always combat these sorts of things.. oh i need more self control
Im so thankful for you making this
Such an important message, thank you for sharing.
imagine being able to afford a doctor
That's what I'm saying
If ypir in the US amd you can't afford a dr, you get medicaid ita free.or a small fee called share of costs
Thanks to biden
I absolutely say ouch when I run into something if it didn't hurt when no ones around.
Oh boy you had me thinking I needed to get screened
Thanks, great message. I feel better
What a fine video, this is true on so many levels. This will cure lot of mental issues
*deletes heated paragraph* 😅
I do all of these things. Thank you for that last part. I’m still going back to my psychiatrist just in case I’ve been living misdiagnosed 😂
I love this video. Thank you for posting this
Omg this is the best tiktok I've ever seen! Thank you x
Nobody knows what it's like except those who have it. Don't ever say you have schizophrenia unless you have been diagnosed by a professional psychologist/doctor. Anybody who knows true schizophrenia would never want to be schizophrenic. It is truly a curse.
It is not a curse, it can be battled
@@TRIA99My mother has it severely and yes, yes it is. It's ruined her whole life and made her a shell of human but me and dad keep helping her fight and she does push through but it is a curse, my friend.
I'm doing my PhD on ASD and SHZ and this got me good! 😂 Well put!
Thank you for posting this omg
As a clinical psychologist Thank you!!
As a mental health professional I really appreciate this. Thank you!!!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS I WAS LIKE BRUH I DONT HAVE SCHYTZOFRINIA HAHA
you are the most informative and professional I have run across on youtube over the last four years
This got me concerned as hell.. mind you, your videos have certainly helped make Schizophrenia less scary for those who aren’t. If I was diagnosed I think I’d be able to deal with it a lot better. Media has really put this disorder in a questionable light.
youre SUCH a good woman!
We need more like this
That was awesome!!!! I’m so happy to see someone telling people not to try and self diagnose in such a clever way!
I'm so glad I watched the whole thing! Thank you for this.
As someone with ADHD diagnosed by a doctor, I agree. People are going onto the internet and diagnosing themselves when they really should see a professional
Adhd schizophrenia?
Lmao, yes call out the self diognosers to seek actual instead of just using online videos 😤 cause I've done this tyoe of thing before on a smaller scale, it's SO easy to take information, see it applies to you, and not get the PROPPER correct information/diagnosis
I rolled my eyes in the first half of the video. You got me.
Great message! Everyone is a doctor these days and that's why we are where we're at today with the mental health crisis
No the information is just more available and research is ahead of what doctors know.
Research is even showing that autism self diagnosis is often more accurate than clinical diagnosis.
Will the doctors accuracy catch up to self diagnosis accuracy? Probably. But often the education standards drag about 10 years behind the research.
People seem to forget that online research is valid. Most of it is put up there by doctors/mental health professionals. So many people cant afford diagnosis from psychologists etc. Also you have the stigma once officially diagnosed. I'm in the midst of this and its scary AF. Utube doctors are still doctors people.
Seriously self diagnosed myself with schizophrenia after the first 15 seconds of this. And I'm a nurse. Phew!
Definitely not the best to self diagnose off of a tiktok, but after seeing a million "adhd people be like" videos, I ended up bring it up in therapy and my therapist said she had suspected that I had adhd and we talked about why. she is the one who suggested I get screened, and I was I bit in denial at first. But after getting medicated, and starting to have a deeper understanding of how to manage my symptoms, I was like "wow how did I NOT know I had adhd? it explains so much!". I know that won't be everyone's expirence, but I am glad people have a platform to share information.
I just got to say that was beautifully done. You got me at first. This is the best way to show. You should not self diagnose.😊
You scared me for a minute! I was so afraid that this was gonna be like one of those other videos where people attribute everyday things to a mental health diagnosis
She totally had me at first. That’s really good advice too!
Yay!!! FINALLY we have someone telling the general public to NOT SELF DIAGNOSE ! Thank you💜
Omg THANK YOU for this video, not enough people are explicitly disclosing not to diagnose yourself from social media videos !!
People generally don't self diagnose from social media videos. They often use the dsm5.. the tool explicitly designed to diagnose
Oh my god, I was literally about to say I specialize in a field once in the United States army under a general and we tackled this issue. Everything that you were saying is something a normal person does and it really felt like I was being gasless. I need TH-cam. Damn you got me. I'm going to pinch myself now
It's great 👍 that you post this informative and useful information. You can help alot of people 😊
Definitely a people I enjoy chats with because they can go deep into conversation.
I am so glad your video ended sensibly!
I was gonna write a scathingly critical comment 😅
Girl she had me thinking I was doggone CRAZY.
Girl I do all those things and I was about ready to check myself in, you got me. Your point was beautifully illustrated. 💖
You almost had me! Great message... I'm so sick of all the "do you breathe air? Then you definitley have autism/adhd/antisocial personality disorder"
I was like “I do a couple of those things” she had me there for a minute!
Brilliant video
Thank you for saying this
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt my phone vibrating in my pocket when it’s actually just my belt moving.
Giiiiirl I was about to call my doctor 😂😂 you got me good! ❤
Thank you. It's good to hear the voice of reason instead of feverish fear-mongering.
Thank you for spreading awareness!❤❤❤
i absolutly love this. Some girl was trying to compare herself to me by claiming that she also has "epilepsy but not epilepsy" cuz i kept apologizing for my poor cognitive incidents and she kept saying "oh i know what you mean, thats totally me too." it was more in depth but you get the point.
That's one of the most relevant and intelligent videos I have seen ;)
Thank you for this message
OMG, You ruined and fixed my day in a matter of seconds 😂 well earned like and subscribed ❤
Oh my days! You got me there 😂 thank you for that important lesson
I love this. The only “5 things people with X do” video that is accurate.
Girl I paused, panicked and read the comments. Thank god I read the comments!
I spent 15yrs of my life believing i was a schizo and 2yrs taking medicines for this illness, by the time I was 26 I wanted to end my life and then something me stopped the violence.. I wondered who it was then, but then I didn't go through it I was sent to the pyschward and I didn't remember what had happened to me but I'm 32 now and I've been reading and listening to the Bible since I was 29yrs of age but I will mention that soon so in that time when I was 26 I think I felt the holy spirit in that situation where I was going to take my life, He stopped me from wrongfully taking the gift He gave to me. I couldn't explain it until I was 29 when covid began and it hit me in 2022 around January I got hit with covid 19 and it put me in a coma for 2 weeks and I saw a lot of things that happening today now and I heard this voice in the coma and that scared me, but I also saw my loved ones flashing through my mind. I remember hearing from the darkness of the deep and He said "Not Yet" in a loud whispering Gentle voice but it was a deep voice, man I've never would have known until I began reading the Bible and taking notes but I don't believe in this Schizophrenia anymore because 1. The drugs were ruining my brain function and 2. When I began talking to God about my problems and he listened and it is said that God works through you and I understood Him. Those voices you hear are just you allowing the enemy to enter your Kingdom (Mind & Heart) and twist your thoughts into something bad, I then started to think of them as spiritual attacks from the enemy and when I read books like proverbs and psalms it felt like I was equipping his Armor and then I found the sword Matthew 5:3-14 whew I still need to find the others but talking to strangers who need to escape this world's prison and start socializing more soon we won't have access to the internet and our money won't matter anymore yall need to pick up the sword too if you want to wake up again.
