i think your wrong about all you said. the last was the one that made me post you need jesus
I literally have every single one of these! And far more symptoms. Zero s drive as well. Been this way for the past 18 years. Whats wrong with me? Ill go from sleeping 5 hours a night to 2 hours im 24/7 exhausted and nothing brings me joy. I use to enjoy making things, but i just cant do them anymore and when i try it just feels like a super stressful chore. I have really really bad panic/anxiety attacks to where i feel like im dying and bad chest pain and feel like i cant breathe! And heart palpitations and very hard beating heart. They are so scary! I usually end up going to the e.r. because i am so convinced i am dying. i have zero quality of life and often have the urge and thougts of "ending it all" you know what i mean. At this point i am not living, i am barely surviving! I am so miserable 24/7 or just feel like a zombie! Emotionless I hate it. I miss the old happy,funny me that people loved to be around. Its ruining my Marriage and relationship with my young Children. I used to enjoy playing with them and going to the park etc. Its gotten so bad now i do not leave my home. And i hardly give my babies attention. I feel so very guilty! about it all, but cant seem to find the drive or will to get up and try more than i already try. My wife takes them to the park or store etc. And when they all leave i just cry so much for feeling like such a failure in life. I know they would be fine without me and probably better off. They deserve so much better and i hate myself for it, but i just can not seem to change my feelings and fears, depression etc. I also have social phoebia (agoraphobia) but its gotten way worse over the last 4 years. I am also very overweight from meds and eating away my problems, but adding another! Morbid obesity. Im a huge mess and have tried Doctors etc! And just feel hopeless and my ptsd has been extra bad lately as well. I feel so lost and alone. All of my friends have cut ties with me because i stopped talking to them. I dont really talk to anyone anymore. I just cant.
All of these signs also point towards me lol. I've got ehlers-danlos. It's no wonder they used to put people in institutions for everything under the sun, it all presents so similarly. It's quite interesting, thank you
It also sounds a lot like someone just going through an existential crisis
RIP to all the people with anxiety who now think they could be developing schizophrenia and have another thing to worry about
😂🎉
Hurayyy🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂.
Yippe I’m now stressed
(At the beginning to middle of the year everyone at school said I mostly likely have schizophrenia even tho I’m not diagnosed and still pretty young)
Exactly. These videos don't help.
✋😭 🪦 1990 - 2024
But these are also depression symptoms
Prodromal schizophrenia can often resemble depression, so unfortunately, there is an overlap.
It's also symptoms for a lot of other conditions and illness. Basically anything can fall under these criteria.
I think thee main thing to focus on are the last two, change of perception and religious obsession. At least those defrentiate from most other conditions. Sad thing is, that these symptoms are mostly ignored since they're so common.
Is it bad that i have all of these?
@@a10robibrrrttt67 not necessarily, but I'd try to pay attention to changes in your relationships. A lot of people thought I was doing a lot better than when I was depressed but they found that I acted so strangely they began to distance themselves. In my case, symptoms also manifested themselves differently between depression and psychosis. When I was depressed, things didn't bring me enjoyment because I'd focus on the negative moments and stressors it could cause. Now I don't enjoy things because I'm convinced people are always trying to mess with me.
@@dylanwaters3146I'am lately doing extremly well and i have found lately new friend after not having any friends at all so idk if i need to worry about depression. Thank you for the information from now on if i feel depressed i will take a look at my relationships
She just described half of the American working population.
Exactly how dumb eh
I was about to comment that
Right?! Everyone in corporate America for sore
I know the symptoms she lists might sound vague, but if you’ve lived with someone who’s developed schizophrenia then you know exactly what she’s talking about. I have type 2 bipolar disorder and depression, but I’ve had it managed and under control for the last 15 years, so when my brother started to act strangely a part of me thought maybe he was just depressed, or worse maybe he also had bipolar disorder. No. His symptoms started vague and progressively became more and more distinct. He was sleeping 3 hours a night, his tone of voice shifted to nearly monotone, he lost 50 pounds and then pretty quickly gained 60 pounds, he stopped flushing the toilet, stopped washing his hair, he couldn’t remember small and even big things things from day to day, he would routinely start cooking something and then completely forget and small fires would start, it got so bad that at one point I was afraid that he developed early onset Alzheimer’s, when he wasn’t completely silent he was speaking manically about the importance of certain stones, how vitamins can heal everything, how sugar was the root of evil and that Jordan Petersen would look through the computer screen and speak to him about allot of this. The symptoms sound vague, but they very much ARE NOT.
That's called "confirmation bias" Leslie. If I need to explain that further to you, you've lost all rationality. The symptoms are vague because like most medical and health vloggers on TH-cam they're just a (for now) meat version of an AI text to speech program that read garbage made by AI spam bots on blogs by the terabyte per second by Indian and Chinese grifters looking for ad revenue.
Im pretty certain my sister has the beginning stages of schizophrenia. And she went to the hospital and they said she just has anxiety. No she hears voices, says shes being recorded, people follow her. Seeing otherwordly creatures. Saying she needs a shaman and priest. Im worried. I dont know what to do.!
Wait, so you’re telling me it’s not normal for Jordan Peterson to pop out of my computer screen?
Recent studies have made the assumption that schizophrenia could be caused by deterioration of brain tissue. If this is true it is very similar to Alzheimer’s Disease as the root cause of it is neurological degeneration due to plaque build up in the brain. Patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease also have shown similar symptoms of those diagnosed with schizophrenia such as ( obviously) deteriorating memory, delusions, depression, and anxiety. The reason I bring this up is because you mentioned how it looks like Alzheimer’s at first, if it is true that schizophrenia is caused by brain tissue deterioration then that could make sense.
Bring her to a doctor @@Zen-place
She just described the symptoms of every mental disorder that ever existed 😂
Exactly. She seems ok to me. She can function at a high level. Perfect speach and intelligent.
She just needed a little love and tender..eat well and sleep well..sad she choose to be obsessed with this disorder..
@@Kriss45738yeah no such thing as mental health. She needs a course of leeches
@@Kriss45738 that’s a very callous blanketed dismissive statement.
@@petephelan969she seems okay because she's on antipsychotics
these are very common symptoms of other mental disorders also! make sure you don’t self diagnose and see a mental health professional!!! my heart goes out to the people who struggle with mental illness 💕 as a person who struggles with mental illness, it’s not easy!
The people saying these are symptoms of other conditions aren’t realizing that this is exactly what makes schizophrenia so hard to diagnose. There is lots of overlap and it’s hard to make that distinction.
So I've been in the Prodromal phase abt 14 years now...
Ur just waking up from the matrix. Schizo is bullshit.. it's normal when we aren't supposed to be controlled . It's totally normal to see that. Now they have all this clinical bullshit naming stuff that it's really not .. they definitely won't share what it really is cause they want u to look crazy
@@aaliyahhicks8706 That sounds like a DSM-5 explanation for what schizophrenia is.
You probably don't have schizophrenia then. Check with a psychiatrist.
@@Catlily5 Nah, I think I have it.
@@AB-zq4fw It is possible.
these are also symptoms of depression, insomnia, high levels of stress in general, eating disorder, and anything else you could name that has a generally negative impact on your person
Thats the bad part about it, it is difficult to diagnose it early because the early symptoms are so unsepcific
So true.
I seem to have all these symptoms, yikes never thought of schizophrenia. I think I'm just depressed..
@@jstanders6973 i was in a similar situation but it completely went away few weeks ago and i'm doing better than ever so stay strong
This is why some ppl believe that there is no such thing as pschizophrenia specifically
Lord help us all. I have so many invisible diseases. Anxiety, depression, OCD, manic
also depression symptoms. dont get anxious guys you are fine. dont start diagnosing yourself on shorts pls. also got through a dark night of the soul, and obsessive spiritual thoughts were part of it, and I am better now. sometimes there is rougher patches in life and you might just need to disconnect from screen and look at yourself directly without disconnecting at all, to understand what the issue is. hope that helped
Sounds like a normal work week to me...
🤣😂🤣
😂Ikr
Fr
😂😂😂
Seriously though! 😅😅
Also generally signs of sleep deprivation, stress, and biotic changes in the gut.
Vitamin B12 deficiency has been highly linked to several psychiatric disorders like impaired memory, irritability, depression, dementia, delirium, schizophrenia and psychosis1.
Just get your B12 levels checked before you take extra. I am mentally ill and my levels are fine.
And allergies. I get a lot of these when having an allergic reaction (it's a slower and more prolonged type, not the anaphylactic kind) so make sure you're not reacting to anything, if you have a tendency towards allergies or autoimmune conditions.
Biotic changes in gut, does that include constipation?
@@dewaldsteyn1306 That means what 'stuff' is alive in your gut helping you process food.

My son was diagnosed which schizophrenia in May 2022.. it was the toughest time of our life …1 year of pure sheer terror and delusional thoughts that God wanted to kill him and hated him and that death was right around the corner … we could not watch tv… listen to music, could not go outside because he was certain the earth was gonna turn upside down and he would go burning into the sun… no swimming… he thought the pool ground would open up and drag him straight to hell… hearing messages sent by God through tv and music.. that he wanted to kill him… voices that scared the crap out of him.. sleepless nights … fearful days lots of praying .. crying and very emotional times for a year straight.. my poor baby 😢(18 yrs old) just snapped one day! We are on the road to recovery with the help of a place called Henderson’s Mental Health with a program that started a few months before we found them call Early Treatment Center… thank god for them and the wrap around service they provide him, from his psychiatrist, to his therapist and peer specialist and of course medication, he is just starting to live life again… the weight gain and nightmares is a terrible side affect as he gain 60 pounds in a years time and was have terrible nightmares that were just as real as the terror he had in the day time… please pray from my baby and all the people that suffer from this disease! It’s heartbreaking and with help, and a lot of patience, we are grateful and hopeful. ❤❤❤
Tell him God still loves Him I went through something similar I thought God wanted to kill me & vice versa and I was really angry at God. I don't think mine was as bad though. People around me thought i was going crazy but ik it was spiritual. I was also 18-19. I'm 20 now. it was really tormenting but I'm okay now. I didn't take therapy but my mental health healed by reading the Bible everyday and praying everyday. It was a difficult, slowish healing process. Tell Him to seek God ever day. God will heal Him completely. God's healing power is stronger than any mental problem your son may be facing.

They are finding the diabetic drug metformin helps counter the weight gain effect of essential psych meds.
Talk to the doc about it
As far as the nightmares
That’s unacceptable
Sounds like they need to put him on a different med.
He's so lucky having such loving parents with him helping him through all this,and I'm certain he's a strong person to be capable of getting along with it,and after all that,he's even way tougher mentally!
God is was and will be with him,and your family all the way,I swear no way he can leave you,even if nonbeliever or don't want him or hate him so much and think he's not,I don't feel the presence!
He still is there for you!
It is uncharacteristic of God,,,he won't he can't!
All he can,is he can,he is the good and truth before during and after all,it's like expecting heavy clouds not to rain,or planted seed in the soil not to grow...
God bless you and your family,thanks for your time to comment this
@@fiberpoet6250zolpidem or perhaps galantamine
My medications for bipolar syndrome became unbalanced and I started having hallucinations, especially voices encouraging me to be violent. I sought help, got a new regimen of medications, and went back to "normal."
Issues with memory ive been working on it, prayer/salah/shalat train my memory, thanks to Rasulullah SAW and ALLAH ☺
I have a few family members that have had schizophrenia and the main trigger for them was stress. Stress in their lives or minds (perceived stress).
Psychiatrist told me that brief psychotic episode is usually prolonged stress and exhaustion topped off with lack of sleep once you start worrying or get wound up.
Loneliness is also a factor.
Get out of stressful situation, get enough sleep, and focus on making real human connections with others. That can be enough to stop psychosis and prevent it returning.
@@louisehogg8472 thank you, these are great. Also just thinking positive in general (especially about other people) works wonders too.
Are you a native american person I love native american people I call them original americans because we stole their land an lives
Same. My mom has this illness and a cousin in law too. Both were triggered by stress. My mom was stressed about my dad. And my cousin lost a child and that triggered it.
I’m so scarred about being stressed and getting it triggered that I’m afraid of trying to be more ambitious, stress used to mobilise me, now I’m afraid of it.
It doesn’t help that i have most of those prodormal symptoms and that I heard a voice not long ago for the first time.
For me and my family members, infections seem to trigger it. Other stressful events like the demise of a loved one or economic stress of unemployment and loneliness do not seem to trigger it, even though these stressors seem to add to the general stressor burden).
11. Being introspective and less interaction with others. The patient life occurs in his mind in this stage.
Oh fuck
@@Yaardennchuuk yea I’m fucked
Oh yes definitely how I am:/
@@krystaln8665hdgbdgjb same YAOOOOO
Combine this with mushrooms, quantum mechanics, the Necronomicon, and Phillip K Dick and you're in for a helluva ride.
This is happening to me and suddenly happened, whatever happens I’ll stay strong I have the right people beside me.
This is also all the symptoms of stress, a bad work life balance, influenza, pretty much every illness that exists.
I had all of these but now im on anti-psychotics so thank god they work
Amen! Antipsychotics definitely saved my life 🙏
@@plainpennylane anti psychotics will eventually ruin it tho, just don’t get addicted or abuse them
@@user-il9nc9tk6i you can’t get addicted to antipsychotics, you can’t exactly abuse them either. Trust me you do not want to advocate for schizophrenics getting off their meds

Wow. I suffer anxiety. You just described all my symptoms. 😮
You can also suffer from food intolerance, especially gluten.
This sounds like my OCD and depression combined
I’m 32 years old. This is so scary cuz I have all of them…. Nothing encouraging to live
These are all symptoms of depression as well. Men are usually diagnosed with schizophrenia by their early 20s or teens so I’d say your odds of not having it are pretty good. I felt everything you’re referring to until I sought treatment for my depression. There is hope; you deserve to live a fulfilling life. If any form of treatment is available to you, I can’t encourage you enough to give something a shot
@@Sammmc99 hello,could you tell me, what worked best for you? Talking to a therapist over the phone/soon or in person or doing something like a treatment center? I’m m asking because I’m trying to find all the information I can for my son who seems to be having a really hard time.
Vitamin B12 deficiency has been highly linked to several psychiatric disorders like impaired memory, irritability, depression, dementia, delirium, schizophrenia and psychosis1.
@@redlilly4016 hi, I’ve been seeing a therapist since i was 14 (I’m 23 now) and I definitely think it has helped me reframe some of my perspectives and have a better sense of what I need to do to live a fulfilling life; however, i don’t think it did a whole lot in the way of depression. Depression is so multifactorial in that what’s causing it differs so much from person to person. For people who’s depression stems more from situational factors (recent breakup, bullying, struggling at a job or in school, difficult home life, lack of a sense of direction or identity) I think therapy can be really helpful just to have someone who you can pour out your feelings to and have them be validated and comforted.
For people (like myself) who just seem to have a general disposition to feeling apathetic/anhedonic/no motivation/excessive guilt/ other depressive symptoms for no apparent reason, I think medication can sometimes be the only thing that can really kickstart a recovery. It wasn’t until I went on medication and stayed on it that whatever was messed up with my brain chemistry started to correct itself. Things stopped feeling so heavy. Life didn’t feel so purposeless anymore. I had things that I felt passionate about again. Every medication works differently from person to person but the one I’m specifically on that’s turned my life around is Wellbutrin.
If you see your son struggling, it is always worth striking up a conversation with him and seeing how he feels. Many kids would be grateful to have a parent like you who notices these things. I wish your son all the best and hope things get better for him
@@redlilly4016 I'm in the same boat with my 16 year old you just had her first onset of psychosis. The Emergency Room is having her go "business as usual" and then in 3 weeks she's doing partial hospitalization where they will start meds and give her group therapy and individual and she can still do her homework and supposedly keep up with school. They have 2 academic teachers on site.
I have Bipolar 1 and Schizoaffective disorder. I’m so afraid that I am slipping into another psychosis. My last episode nearly tore my family apart, but I don’t know what to do. It’s like once that part of me takes over I’m no longer a person. I can only sit in this empty space of consciousness and watch as something else controls my mind and body. I get so scared of the things I see and hear and nothing really seems real.. It had been this way since I was about 13 years old. I’m not a stranger to it, but I don’t know how to control it. It’s becoming unbearable to live with these days.
Me too sometimes i feel as if i am possessed
My little cousin 32 yr male is going through this. The religious obsession especially resonates. and in his last episode, he said some really strange and gross things, nothing he would ever say to my aunt and uncle. ended up running In a field and was 51/50. I want to be there for him. When checking in with the younger brother he said, " that's not my brother, the stuff that was said and his accents and tones sounded like demons as of he was possessed" can anyone explain what that actually is?
@@avill012well when one's brain is altered so much from the illness they won't act like the same person. hope he's getting medicine, good luck to him and your family
My son thinks he's predicting the future and that he's been given a premonition...his anxiety is at an all time high...
Can't blame him. I deal with that too. Sometimes I get these weird visions, and somehow they come true too....
Good post ty! Yeah as someone who has Schizoaffective Disorder, I feel numb to my own body and everyone else. I feel nothing even when a loved one passes away. I have to focus on making a face to match the other person's face when speaking to them cause I feel no emotions, no feelings at all when talking.
Uhhh is that schizophrenia or psychopathy?
Take vitamin B12! Vitamin B12 deficiency has been highly linked to several psychiatric disorders like impaired memory, irritability, depression, dementia, delirium, schizophrenia and psychosis1.
Dang, that flat affect is just all the time for you I see. I didn't know that to be possible; but at least in that case, you can't really feel suffering either. Not saying it doesn't suck, just noting the bright side
Me too i feel the same
@@Jamie-lb7eh I have mental disorders and I have elevated b12.
#10 hit hard. My ex tried giving me a handful of pills me while yelling at me in 3rd person for disobeying God.
We're talking about Mind sickness! Like any other sicknesses with labels there are many of them that could have the same symptoms. Schizoid and Schizophrenia can have a paranoid experience it's just that Schizoid doesn't have intense delusions and hallucinations.
Well thank you for sharing😢
Thank you for what you do. It’s so unique here on TH-cam and it helped me through (what I thought was) my first psychotic episode.
And what was it really?
Sounds like depression too
Everything I've watched so far on schizophrenia has been completely correct with me
I still can't understand why mental illness its such a horrific ailments for people living in denial like my brother 😢. Life is unfair for some
I wonder how people's life is without mental illness
Me having all these symptoms...
Me: I'm just getting old...
Her: Beginning stages of schizophrenia...
😳😳😳

I cured my mom's schizophrenia with vitamin B12. Her schizophrenia is all gone!
@@Jamie-lb7ehwtf, you're the one with schizophrenia for thinking vitamin b12 is the almighty savior of people with mental disorders 💀

Hi. Good to know. My sister have this and my son has this too.Thanks for your honesty.
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.
womp womp (fellow Christian here).
May Jesus give you both joy and hope, in the name of Jesus.
I pray for your health, wealth, and longevity. Please continue to take care of yourself and surround yourself with love❤️!
Everyone in thisthread please dont use christianity to avoid treating your mental health we are a physicallt disabeled mentally ill human who is christian you can be both disabled and christian -james
v. interesting. I"ve had some intense, intense "mental health battles" i deeply struggle with the medication and "mental illness" vs warfare thing.
Most of those warning signs describe my behavior in the day or two before a seizure.
If you're experiencing something new, or a worsening of behavior, always see your doctor!
i got a diagnosis of ”mild paranoid” schizophrenia today from a forensic psychiatrist
My therapist thought I was in a prodromal state and the symptoms match but honestly I think it’s undiagnosed ADHD and autism. It’s difficult to diagnose sometimes.
I had wild hallucinations as a kids up until 12...I was able to stop it through will power alone. Around that time I started smoking weed. So weed and will power was my cure. 36 now and haven't had a episode.
Some people with schizophrenia get worse when they smoke weed. In fact a lot do. So be careful with smoking weed.
@Cat Lily Good to know. In my case I got better. You're saying it's bad for some people well I hope they can find a cure.
@@Catlily5 you're correct that's how it all started for me
@@Nancy-ow9wy Sorry to hear that.
doubt it, prob your genetics, when you got older your brain stabilized
These all sound normal. We aren’t built to work and feel 110% all the time. These symptoms sound like a result of a Burnout
Bingo
They are actually negative symptoms of schizophrenia that appear early and can help people that have this in their family history or other people that are known to be at risk for this illness to asses their health. It doesn’t mean everybody with this symptoms would develop it.
I have ptsd not schizophrenia but have experienced acute psychotic episodes a few times over the past few years and this channel was very comforting to me after the first time and also this reminded me to take my antipsychotic so thanks!
My doctor told me that it wasn't the experience of a traumatizing past relationship that caused my schizophrenia but that "my" schizophrenia was always there it just took that traumatizing experience to make my schizophrenia come afloat or evident. In retrospect I was a very happy kid till around that traumatizing experience that occurred in my late teen hood. My adult life has been hell. Now at 40 I really do not know what is true. 🤷🏼
If u don't mind have u ever had thoughts of suicide 😢 aren't u scared of death 😳 aren't u afraid 😟 of killing urself please tell me the truth note - I am not encouraging u to end your life life is precious I know my uncle has phychosis what can I do
These might be the broadest symptoms for any phase of schizophrenia I’ve ever heard
Jesus God, I have absolutely every one of these 😫
Easy to see how a person could be misdiagnosed or symptoms ignored until they go into crisis.
I honestly think someone I know is developing schizophrenia, or has schizotypal personality disorder. She says she has PTSD, but I’m not sure that that is the only thing going on. She has these moments where she has really bizarre ideas and actions, that she “snaps out of” when challenged. It becomes much worse when she’s stressed.
She is excessively preoccupied with paranormal stuff, like tarot cards, “feeling” people’s presence because they have a “connection”, and things like that.
She thought I wanted to “steal” her crush (a person she “feels” close to her when he’s at home, and that she receives “emotional vibes” from him), because I didn’t answer her messages for a day. I was sleeping most of the day because I was medicated due to a severe migraine.
She based that idea solely on the fact that he had a party and she heard the his door open and close (which apparently only could have been me). We’re all neighbors in the same building, btw.
I have never talked to this man, except for a “hi” once I met him, and he’s not gay, like me. She also regularly thinks I’m communicating with him over Messenger, talking about her… She has also mentioned that she has started to feel unstable, but doesn’t trust therapists. I honestly don’t know what to do.
My daughter went thru phases of psychosis. She was taking pot, Marijuana, then heroin. She lost her 2 kids to CPS. We were penalized for getting her away from a bad marriage and drugs. After multiple psychotic episodes she agreed to 60 day dual treatment mental and drug. I am not so sure it is simply depression ADHD, etc. I truly She has this. You can see her phases. It is hard to believe that in 3 years she basically turned into a reclusive teenager. She cannot function normally. Seems like she is always in her own world. When I match her symptoms she definitely follows a pattern or cycle. We brught it up to her psychiatrist so wondering g if we should seek a second opinion and if so how to properly do this. I know jeroin use can change how the brain is wired and it takes time but she is not getting better, stagnant.
Well I pray for you and your daughter
Prayers to you ! Hang in there.I'm going through this exact same thing with my little brother. My older brother committed suicide about 10 years ago and it was the exact same steps as this with my little brother institution after institution released him saying it was all. Drug induced but the drugs were really self medicatinh trying to stop whatever kept him focusing more on his internal thought process and stimuli.
do you know anything about narcissist abuse? I read the bad marriage thing & your whole post. from experience, the bad marriage could have been worse than anyone knew. people in it rarely know. it's so gradual & insidious &.. it's too much to try to explain. but I felt compelled to respond to this because though I didn't lose my son, I could have gone that far had I not had someone tell me about narcissistic abuse & I began to research. & in the healing there is first more destruction because you need to go back over the entirety of the relationship to see it how it was. so you can understand what happened & get back to reality. it messes with memory. it causes sleep disturbances. weight loss & gain. heart issues. addiction as coping mechanism. loss of joy/laughter. caught in fight or flight mode because we begin operating from our mid brain rather than prefrontal cortex so we dont stop to regulate...basically...it is an entire mind f***. literal brain damage occurs. it's horrible & the worst part is that it's not known by the general public. people usually become aware after its happened to them & usually, nobody believes then because narcissistic abuse is such a bad form of psychological violence that it seems fabricated. if you decide to look into this, please know this damage CAN be reversed. it takes work but it absolutely can be healed & she can get her life back. & also don't write it off if you watch a video & some things are resonate, but some don't because for one, there are numerous types of narcissists. my ex was covert narcissist. very dangerous situation that nobody knew about, not even me. until after...
The Royal We is a great channel. so is Together We Are the Change Nyx the Narcissist. many good channels out there. hugs to you & your family. I think that there is hope here.
Maybe she needs Suboxone? It could be that she can't function normally without opiates now.
Almost all mental illness starts with pot. They'll insist there's no correlation when you point it out, however, it's a near 100% correlation statistically. And unlike all other drug users, weed users will rabidly defend their poison of choice even claiming it's not a drug, and not a problem. At least other druggies have self awareness.
These are also signs of spiritual awakening. So thankful I grew up in an esoteric belief system or I’d be misdiagnosed with a mental illness.
can you elaborate on your experience?
All this can happen with anxiety disorders and depression too. Me getting schizophrenia would be very convenient to some people/organisations.
I forgot what my aunt told me but she talked about a family member having a delusional disorder like schizophrenia and I've been starting to have delusions like things that aren't there. I think I'll get evaluated.
My loss of memory is starting to get worse I think. I forget simple close things to promises and most of the things that I had or planned
I recommend researching berberine. organic liquid tincture. dont take the dosage it recommends...it's too much. try a couple drops after each meal. also, a teaspoon of ORGANIC UNREDINED coconut oil, twice a day. I am confident you will see improvement. hugs to you.
@@theeemaven even thou I’m still a kid and are a little confused of what you had said, thank you for your advice. I do not tell my parents or friends except my bestie. Because I didn’t want people worried or smth since kinder. Thank you. Hugs to you too
@modalia_playz i didn't realize you were a kid. My bad. Can you ask your parents to get you some organic unrefined virgin coconut oil & just tell them to read the health benefits on Google? I really think it will help. Also, a messed up gut microbiome can cause memory loss (more bad than good bacteria...can be corrected, don't get worried...if you want suggestions, let me know). Other things for your age (I went through the same thing when I was 8 through 14 actually) is sleep deprivation. Childhood trauma (if someone had said I had trauma back then I'd have thought they were lying but I think everyone does in a way). & I also found out I had adhd. I'm no doctor but I am someone who has gone through a lot & many times kept secrets while spiraling out on the internet trying to find answers. Of course keep paying attention to your body but honey I'm sure it is not some life threatening. Try really hard to get good sleep. To not let yourself get too carried away with worry. & the coconut oil. Memory loss can be associated with not getting enough HEALTHY fats. I have seen people who thought they had dementia, realize it was metabolic...closer to type 2 diabetes which can be turn3d around with diet & ive seen people do so...one woman actually left a memory care facility & moved home after getting on the berberine & coconut oil. I honestly think you being a kid, skip the bernerine. The coconut oil though..truly just Google the benefits of it & ask your parents for some! See how it goes. Tell yourself that you're safe in your body. Go put your barefeet on the grass. In the morning right away try to do it. & spent ten minutes in the morning sun with your bare feet on the ground
As someone who's had a few episodes/periods of psychosis in the past, and considering I have some schizophrenic friends. This is how I would describe the initial symptoms of schizophrenia
1. Religious obsessions and change in perception are the ones cited I would mainly associate with early schizophrenia
2. Doubting peoples intentions very often
3. Odd associations that don't really make sense (ex. the weather changes are defined by your mood/ you feel a shiver everytime someone talks about you).
4. You don't have visual hallucinations, but your thoughts are starting to get so loud you can almost hear them.
5. Your vision is sometimes turbulent (sometimes you see very subtle shadowy/light undistinguishable figures).
6. Difficulty processing words, numbers and images.
There are many more, feel free to share your own experiences
And these symptoms always occur before any voices? I think a common misunderstanding is that heading voices is the initial symptom!
@@SparrowHills08 That's a tricky question, because it varies from person to person. I'd say these symptoms usually occur before the hallucinations, however people may not notice them, and cogitate some other illnesses. I believe most early onset hallucinations, come from excessive stress and lack of sleep, but never without any prior mild symptoms, such as paranoia and negative symptoms.
@@raquelbaldini6622 thanks a lot
@@raquelbaldini6622 thank you very much for your answers 🙏🏻
So much respect for this amazing young lady. You are doing all such a kindness by sharing this info. Please know we care for you
This also described how I felt when I went through menopause. This describes how I feel when the stress of school or work gets to me. This is how I felt living with abusive people who gaslighted me regularly. This is how I felt when I had postpartum depression/anxiety.
You got it 👍 All psychiatrists and doctors (particularly male) need to understand this! Men label women as neurotic and emotionally unstable, far too much due to our hormonal changes that affect our brain. If only they could experience it, along with all of the physical symptoms too.. I'm sure they'd love it!
I’ve had all these things recently….I also suffer from addiction…
I know you know this. I watch you often. I am bipolar. This sounds a lot like bipolar also.
Hi bipolar, I'm dad!
You just described severe depression.
No sir you just described severe depression
No severe depression doesn’t cause hallucinations and delusions like schizophrenia. I know because I had severe depression last year ( I’m better now tho)
I remember in 1996 when I had my schizophrenic breakdown at 18 years old. My hygiene was bad and I thought if I sacrificed my life that I'd save the human race. After realizing I wasn't making sense, I noticed that I'm psychotic and needed medical attention. I was that homeless kid walking around Santa Monica Los Angeles who thought he could be the next coming of Christ. Now I'm 45 and medicated, but still partially insane.
Wow! I can’t believe I have every single symptom you mentioned.
I figured out that I was on The Spectrum somewhere, but now I know.
Runs in my family genes.
Thank you for educating us. I appreciate you.
Lies prove you appreciate her by giving her all your money
You're amazing honestly love seeing your posts they're insightful and really informative thank you for these amazing vids!
Good to get this out there ❤
Tanks so much for educating people about this and being so we'll spoken
I am having ALL those within the last year. I chalked it up to the onset of menopause. I hope it's just menopause 😢
My daughter started hearing buzzing in her ears and then it turned to muffled whispers, then full on voices.
Thank you for sharing your experience. ☮️🩵🙏🏻🕉️
Thanks for sharing 🙏
I never knew the name for this I call it goin down the rabbit hole. Thanks for the info.
This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but I worry that people having spiritual awakenings in a society that does not acknowledge or support this may be diagnosed with schizophrenia. I believe we need people to wake up to their true spiritual selves but it’s terrifying to do so in this society that is becoming increasingly atheist. Prayers to all who are struggling with the symptoms mentioned. May you be guided in a good way and may you find the medicine you need to alchemize these energies for growth, healing, and transformation
🦋🙏🏼🦋
I might have thought similar.
Not really, unless you have family that is very controlling an you don't have nay other option but to live with them and have a guardian. They are out there. But most ethical professional clinicians will not if they see that you are functioning well, and even if you aren't, they will use other diagnoses because we have to use the least restrictive diagnosis/es that we are working with.
I absolutely agree. I feel that if someone is struggling with their spirutual awakening it can seem like what is diagnosed as a mental illness. Until the world of psychology/psychiatry embrace this rising phenomena there will be alot of misdiagnoses for sure.
Sure except people with schizophrenia lose touch with reality and can seriously hurt themselves or others
@@kie7124 For sure.
Thank you for mentioning that these symptoms aren’t a sure sign of developing schizophrenia. A lot of these symptoms occur in other disorders too. With the exception of the last one, I have all these symptoms and am diagnosed with BPD, social anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, a lot of the time it’s hard to truly know until your perception of reality becomes warped in such a way that’s unfathomable or that loved ones tell you isn’t true.
Your channel is new to me. I’ve never gotten a diagnosis of schizophrenia, but much of what you talk about makes me think of myself. I’m beginning to wonder if I should maybe talk with a dr……
Now, I have tried antidepressants in the past, but I didn’t like the side effects. I lived with the signs you spoke of in this video for many yrs,…..changed my diet to mostly whole foods, and it helped some, but what really made the difference was when I got on testosterone replacement therapy. I know, who would think that would have helped? And I didn’t get on it for mood issues but to help me gain muscle from lifting. I had no idea how my mental health would be affected by TRT. It’s been so surprising to feel more normal, not feel so anxious, depressed, moody, crazy……seriously, maybe consider this. My husband said to me, “I never want you off testosterone again.” Lol
I know I probably shouldn’t diagnose myself with schizophrenia because of a TH-cam video. But I have related to first five symptoms and I will be aware of what other Normal people with this unfortunate disease think do and maybe experience once I get a diagnosis.
I have 8 out of 10 of these symptoms, and been this way basically my entire! This video is extremely useful important and informative. Thank you so much for posting these informative videos!
Same! It's actually worrying coz I don't think I am developing it. I think these symptoms have been effects of life.
My symptoms started with distorted memory. I would think something happen and then believe it happened. At first I was fully aware this was happening but it got so bad a whole other history took over. Prozac and Zyprexa cleared it up.
They tried to give a Prozac lick lol. I didn't take it. I suffer instead so I got something to give when I open my black book of truth. You should try it sometime,your body will fight withdrawal but the benefits of keeping your dignity outweigh the risks. I banged slipknot til I was a nonbeliever. It took me to break myself for him to change me. I changed my music to sound pleasing not screaming. Though when my voices scream like Corey,I hit that good green leafy stuff one time and flip a new page. We don't need Prozac or Seroquel. I love you truly,all my schizo psychos we are one ❤
My ex husband has schizoaffective disorder as well (easy way to explain that is schizophrenia plus bipolar disorder). Before he had his first full blown psychotic break (he’s had like 7 psychotic breaks and hospitalizations in about 6 years) I thought it was a severe depression. Some early signs of psychosis were disorganized speech, extreme isolation, paranoia about his family members being out to get him, thinking everyone hated him or was making fun of him, pacing back and forth, angry outbursts because of the paranoia, neglecting physical hygiene (not bathing for long periods of time and rarely eating/drinking water), and homicidal ideation.
Thank you having the courage to talk about it and break the stigma.... 🙏
Being alone as a young adult under stress without a good job or support from anyone can lead to psychosis. I just wanted to save the world but I had to save myself first which requires a good grasp on reality. So I cured myself by ignoring the hallucinations and delusions.
Strength 💪 dude! I had to do something similar for my panic attacks
How can you tell these (negative affect) schizophrenia from depressive bipolar?
The symptoms she's talking about are signs BEFORE full-blown schizophrenia. Meaning before they start showing the classic symptoms of schizophrenia like hallucinations, delusions, paranoia. People with depressive bipolar don't have delusions or suffer psychosis. People with bipolar with psychotic features do but they are not as severe and pervasive as those with schizophrenia.
her: chill describing me
me: wide open eyes in fear
Very well described a status of schizophrenia is scary uncontrolled. It feels blood is flowing through your brain so fast it sends me to a state of fear. It’s hard to control and knowing the symptoms is important to know what to do and go to a safe place.
You nailed every single symptom.
I’m 17 and I’ve been in and out of psych hospitals sense I was 12 and 8 of these things apply to me. I really hope I’m not developing, I’ve got many diagnoses but none of them really fit me exactly. I’m scared I’m gonna get to like 20 and have to depend on family to care for me
Don't worry, its pretty unlikely. I read a good source, but can't remember where now,but in any case it said out of ten people who experience prodrome type symptoms, only one will go on to develop schizophrenia.
When i'm doing drugs back then i've been experiencing this awkward quietness in me that theres a lot going through my mind and it seems that i avoid talking or talking less, this makes me looks weak and crazy from the perspective of these druggy friends back then who are much more heavy users than me. I went into rehab and 5 yrs sober now i can communicate well now but i still have this quick mood swings, quick loss of energy and the feeling of i'm out place when i'm with my workmates. Which i'am not sure if this is schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Then i also has these different perspective of the world and religion but i don't recognize these as symptoms. I still have this activist mind set that i think i'm gonna live with it.
I think you got out of doing drugs just in time, keep on this path and it most likely won’t develop any further.
I went through all the stage's especially religion beliefs I did lost my mind twice but I have my spouse of #10 years and a big sister that never gave Up 😌🙏 thank God 🙏 I'm #6 years straight from my last in count's but God 🙏 has Me 🥰 and never let go.
Thank you for the information!
I’m Schizotypal & what freaks me out most about it is potentially developing schizophrenia because I worry that I will change so much that I will essentially be a different person. This is something I feel I struggle with with STPD, but I worry that it would be more intense than it is now
Yeah could also be bipolar and the last symptom could be bipolar psychosis, and i know you did a video about how bipolar may be related to schizophrenia, but you gave a great overview of the symptoms specific to schizophrenia. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. My family suffers from mental illness. It's difficult to watch your loved ones suffer. God Bless you.
I had all of these except for the religious obsession. For me, that one was zealous myth-centric obsession (based on my background family's folklores told to me as a child). Though, just as a question: did anyone ever get recurring dreams that are centered around their own psychosis from childhood? I did.
everything exactly like my experience with depression, except weight and religion
I don't have it I don't have it this is scaring me and giving me mental breakdowns
This is interesting to me .. these are all the symptoms I'm dealing with after being in a horribly narcissistic relationship for 10 years. My diagnosis is CPTSD. Also all kinds of autoimmunity issues
Blessings in holiday's for you and your family 💜🙏
These symptoms sound a lot like symptoms of depression. How can one tell the difference?
Do you get psychotic after going through these symptoms?
Probably you go crazy after that phase
These are symptoms before full-blown schizophrenia. What happens is most people often get misdiagnosed at this stage up until they start displaying classic symptoms of the disease.
I had all those symptoms and more turns out i had major vitamin and mineral deficiencies, a few months to change my diet and im a new person even off anti depressants.
I just realised all of this (except for the one about religion) has happened to me in the last month or so; I noticed the symptoms before watching this video and was worried that these symptoms could have been related to a mental illness. I should go ask my therapist tomorrow about these symptoms, because I am not a homeopath and I don’t self diagnose.
Can you explain more about religious obsession? I never heard about this related to schyzofreniya
Well when people start hearing voices in their head, some people think it's God trying to talk to them or something and get all religous
Also when they are paranoid, I assume a lot of them often turn to religion as a form of coping, which eventually turns obsessive.
