I have hallucinations when my PTSD gets severe and sometimes I'm scared, sometimes I'm not. I think part of the reason is because the brain doesn't always fear something that it makes. Our brains can not comprehend too many things at once. I think that's probably why the phone trick works, it can't see what it's making through something else 🤔
My therapist thinks my hallucinations are PTSD related. I sometimes am afraid of the halluniations at night. However recently I think I am more worried that I have the hallucinations more than anything and maybe the stress from the worry makes its that much worse so it's an endless cycle.
When I’m having intrusive thoughts, I find myself shushing them or telling them to shut up as well. Fortunately, it does help slow or stop the thoughts. Even if I have to do it a few times
Watched one of your tik toks on my fyp and I binged all of these videos, I don't have schizophrenia but these videos definitely help me understand it. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your transparency and honesty My daughter started experiencing psychosis after becoming addicted to medical marijuana last year and she’s been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and also cannabinoid induced psychosis. The cannabinoid induced psychosis is temporary but many times it will “convert” just schizophrenia… She’s in denial right now and I’m just trying to understand what it is she’s experiencing because she doesn’t wanna take her meds , she wants to work and go to school and keep herself busy because when she’s bored she tends to have more struggle. Thank you for putting this content out there. You’re truly an amazing human.
Thank you so much for being so candid with your symptoms and spreading awareness of your mental health issues. What you are doing is going to help so many people and destigmatize other mental health problems. Thank you for paving the road and I hope you continue to paving the way.
Kody it's so much appreciated that you share it with us. I can't even begin to imagine how tough it is to deal with it. I suffer from GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), and it really does seem to me like nothing in comparison with what you have. I know that each of us has our own struggles, and we need to take care of ourselves whatever a struggle is. Thank you so much for sharing! Huge love ☺
My cousin has schizophrenia and your videos help me understand how it is to deal with such a thing, I’m glad you know ways to cope with it and such. I have a question and I understand if you may not want to answer My cousin walks around all day talking from multiple perceptives of multiple people, mainly fictional characters from tv shows, is this a common thing and why is it all day? There’s never a moment where she isn’t doing this, also every day it’s the same 5 minute conversations over and over and over again and it’s concerning to me. Once again, I understand if you don’t want to answer this.
Do you ever have audio hallucinations where they're not really interacting with you? Like maybe where it sounds like two people talking to each other like on a talk radio?
Around 5:50 Damn dude, I have those thoughts, but physically hearing them as hallucinations would make it so much worse 😅 I’ve heard voices exactly 3 times, and it was a weird experience where it was physically/aurally outside if my head, but it wasn’t quite like listening to an actual person talking in the same room. It was inside my head and outside of it at the same time. Very odd experience. It was like being gripped by a dream while awake, for just a few seconds.
I know it's been literal years since you posted this but I would love to see another one/part 2. It's one thing to see the videos it's another t hear you talk about what it felt like after the fact.
Excellent all around! I wish the video you were reacting to was larger on the screen, gonna have to pull this up on my laptop But yeah, this really fleshes out your experience of psychosis, it’s super valuable
Id like to see another one of these but id love to hear what exactly you were hearing in some of the moments like a transcript of the conversation but I get it if you don’t remember any of them. Also did the hallucination dodge the cleanex box?
I don't have schizophrenia but I have chronic migraines and there have been times where I've had an intractable migraine that lasted for days on end and made me go days with minimal sleep and that lack of sleep made me start hallucinating. The worst was 6 days with only 4 hours across those 6 days. I finally went to the ER when I hallucinated a white SUV barrelling toward me and I swerved out of the way and nearly crashed my own vehicle to avoid it and my infant daughter was in the back seat. I got her to her daycare, called my husband to let him know where I was and checked myself into the ER and they contacted my primary care physician. That was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. So I sympathize with you and I'm so thankful I don't deal with these regularly.
I am curious about you not remembering the conversations with the hallucinations after. Is it because the chat is usually mundane/not important to be memorable or is it more of a symptom of the experience/diagnosis? Thanks! I always appreciate your videos. I have 2 cousins who have varying levels of delusion and hearing voices etc so I am trying to be more knowledgeable about schizophrenia in general.
Thankyou for sharing this. Fascinating.. honestly I could watch a doco or series if you make them. Thankyou again. I'm very happy I came across your channel.
I'm new to your channel so not sure if you've answered this before but getting to the point where you realize the person you're talking to may be a hallucination, does that take practice? Does medicine help with this? I vote for part 2. Also, thank you so much for sharing your world, I look forward to learning more.
I don’t have schizophrenia, but I do have psychosis that is apart of my major depression, I thank you so much for making this content so we can not be alone
Hey Kody! I was down here in the comments to ask about whether/how you recognize hallucinations of people in your house, when you started talking about it in the video. If you could elaborate on that in your next video I would love to hear more about that aspect!
Kody, i just wanted you to know that i genuinely appreciate your transparency. I would absolutely appreciate a part 2. I'm curious to know whether or not you would have the answer to a question of mine... is it possible to have a mild form of schizophrenia?
Its creepy because i think i hear stuff in the video but its my miind seeing if it can gear stuff, and its making it so i hear stuff. Or im just hearing sounds and thinking they are voices
Have you ever thought that these hallucinations can still be real and you see things that others can't see when there is a chemical imbalance in the brain? Like those who take DMT, for example, and meet all kinds of beings, and when they return from the experience they say that it seemed more real to them than in real life. And those with tourette could come into contact with such entities, which in fact may exist but most people do not perceive them due to the fact that they have limited the sensory capacity of the surrounding world to only the 5 senses.
You also hear voices? And do you feel a presence in you? I mean, that you feel, that someone else is in your body? Probably you will not believe me, but my son who is 13 years old, can see spirits, good ones and bad ones. The good spirits are bright, because they are connected to the light. The bad spirits are shadow people, and they can go into people's bodies, and let them hear voices or see things. My son helped already some people, and they don't hear voices again. Mostly the voices are telling people to do bad things ( suicide or murder ), and the reason is, that you will join the shadow people too, because bad people who die, will not go to the light ( my son told me that ). Most people who hear voices were depressed or on drug when it started.
This is an incredibly unhelpful and irresponsible comment to send to a person with schizophrenia. It’s a mental illness, sufferers may be dealing with an impaired ability to tell what is real and what is not, and you could be worsening delusions by implying their hallucinations are real demons. Please never do this again, it is dangerous and harmful.
That’s such a terrible thing to say under a video about a real disorder omg. The video is meant to bring awareness and you’re over here talking about spirits and demons as if that’s even remotely the same thing… and you also might want to get ur kid checked by a professional..
I also have hallucinations, more like you said it's a spectrum. I am more high-functioning with medication. But to this day I refuse to talk to my hallucinations ever.
Watching you, makes me feel a lot less alone.

Thanks for sharing such moments of vulnerability. You’re the man Kody! Cheers.
Thank you! 🙏
Huh?
Incredibly interesting , you are very good at explaining things. I can see why you would make a great speaker
When I’m having intrusive thoughts, I find myself shushing them or telling them to shut up as well. Fortunately, it does help slow or stop the thoughts. Even if I have to do it a few times
I do that too, I also try to distract my head with funny lines from my favorite videos, because my brain really seems to like recalling those for me
Watched one of your tik toks on my fyp and I binged all of these videos, I don't have schizophrenia but these videos definitely help me understand it. Thank you for sharing!

A part 2 would be very much appreciated! I just want to say I've learned so much about schizophrenia from you. Thank you so much!! ❤️
I can relate to the holding your head thing and shushing the voices. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you so much for being so candid with your symptoms and spreading awareness of your mental health issues. What you are doing is going to help so many people and destigmatize other mental health problems. Thank you for paving the road and I hope you continue to paving the way.

So glad you're planning to come over to YT more often! I am not on tiktok so it will be great having more of my fave hippie over here ✌️
Thank you for explaining why you’re not afraid of seeing people 💞

It's cool of you to share and explain so well, I'm sure your story is helping a lot of other sufferers, and I hope its' helping with your journey to.
This is very interesting. Thank you for staring your experiences. They’re incredibly educational and eye opening.
You are a god damn hero for sharing this
Thank you for proving that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of and that it does get better
Excellent all around! I wish the video you were reacting to was larger on the screen, gonna have to pull this up on my laptop

Wouldn’t your reaction be like, “who the hell are you, what are you doing in my house”…. That type of thing

Do your hallucinations ever get mad at you for trying to shush them?😊 Love your vids man 💯
Its creepy because i think i hear stuff in the video but its my miind seeing if it can gear stuff, and its making it so i hear stuff.
Or im just hearing sounds and thinking they are voices
I wonder if the the flashing lights form the game trigger anything? Some people have had seizures from the flashing lights on the tv (from the game)..
Yes to part 2!
The hallucinations wouldn’t show up on camera because they aren’t there, they’re hallucinations.
Some people hallucinate on their phones too...
make pt 2 bro!

Do you live alone? If so, why would you talk to hallucination, if you know the can't be anyone here? Do you suddenly forget about it?
Have you ever tried using a mirror? My father has SZ and has aversions to electronics
Dude, if you haven't already, look into getting cbd isolate. This ain't worth it.
What goes through your head when you watch these videos back? If that's far too personal of a question I totally get that.
Do they know what causes Schizophrenia ? I know its genetic .
Liar liar pants on fire
Can you upload the video your reacting to?
You also hear voices? And do you feel a presence in you? I mean, that you feel, that someone else is in your body?

Jacksepticeye?
Why do you talk to your hallucinations??
Even once you realize they are hallucinations?
I also have hallucinations, more like you said it's a spectrum. I am more high-functioning with medication. But to this day I refuse to talk to my hallucinations ever.
I ask because I am trying to work through it all. Does it help at all??
