Hi

I have some questions about schizophrenia.

Are the voices you hear audible ? Like you can confuse them with what any real person could say in a normal voice.

Are they following the course of your thoughts or what they say could be just random.

Do you have images in your minds poping up and saying comments about anything that you do or think.

Thanks

Yes
both
no

So I suppose I don't have schizophrenia

I don't hear audible voices. They don't have any volume, just like any toughts.
And not both. Because what happens to me is extremely linked to what I am thinking at the moment and i can recognize this thoughts as my own but sometimes my emotional reaction acts as if it was coming from a judgemental person
And yes there has to be images that illustrates the situation but when I look a them they're just meaningless and has nothing to do with what they're supposed to mean

that's just me, you could be different----a lot of times in the beginning there can be voices that sound like they are inside your head but you know with absolute certainty they are in fact not you but most people have the ones that sound just like a person speaking to you as well.

things can certainly be linked and often are but occasionally they just come up with off the wall stuff so it doesn't have to be either one.

Images---are you talking like you actually see things like they are solid or just thoughts---I usually had thoughts of what was going on while "people" were talking to me but no full visual hallucinations like I would have at other times----those were solid and occurred without speech.

I wouldn't assume you do or do not have any particular condition---I would talk to a psychiatrist about it and find out what you do have since it's obviously bothering you.

As I said I don't actually hear voices. It's not like I hear a voice of someone talking to me. What I have is diameterically different from schizophrenic people. What I have might be linked to persecution, even though I don't buy what they want me to believe. but actually but I am extremely aware of their mecanism and I recognize these thought as MINE, which means I am conscious I think them, but a part of them causes me to feel they're from someone else. But it's just a feeling, in the end I know it's just me

I can understand what you say, maybe I suppose it's what happening to you, but I never had this sort of things. They're restricted to my very present context, it has to be something I come across in my daily life.

No they're imaginary and I am away of this. They not a perception. They're images in my mind. My mind sounds so elaborate that these images look like they're suiting the whole thing of what I am thinking. but under a closer examination they're more symbolic and rely on a extra and hasardous effort to interpret them rather then being so appaling in themselves

Here it is

[Sometimes psychotic]

Sounds more like rumination to me------this happens a lot with people with anxiety or OCD-----

[Intrusivn]

This definitely sounds the same for lot of other people. But I can't really tell weather they're right. But I supposed it likely.

Oh, we've been talking so coldly that I forgot to ask you about your state. Are you feeling okay ? Do you deal well with whay you have ? All the best !

Its OK---it's hard to exchange pleasantries with every internet stranger. I'm OK---I do OK with it but I just have psychosis so far not the full schizophrenia although the primary difference is duration. Thanks, all the best to you as well.

I see, glad to see that you're okay. I am really interested in knowing everyone's deepest pain so I can help and understand. I am like a very trusting person. I understand if you're not and that's okay. But if you can learn to trust people easily, you'll become happier, because all people are not mean and you can make more friends if you open up.

Can hearing voices be that painful ?

[insilence]

I've been treating the voices as technology and using medication combined with blocks. I have different compounds and material on walls windows and sinks and appliances that block them from communicating clearly. I believe they wired my brain to use a nanosystem to map memories feelings emotions and program voices and impulses to create a torture of the mind. I use massage and thought projection to isolate source of transmission or receivers

[Intrusivn]

Should I interpret your post as a description of a real torture ?

[insilence]

Yes. It sucks

[Intrusivn]

You know us with obsessive ideas or you with audibles voices seem to have fallen for a trap that other people manage to avoid spontanously. Natrullay our mind is always on our side, but if we don't know how to build our selves correctly well it gets mad at us and persecute us.

[insilence]

I believe ur experiencing "impulse control". I'd suggest something I did but it became a voice. And could be problematic without proper direction

[insilence]

Try a material u get at a hardware store called "weed block" fold it and place over your hips. Its working for me right now

[Intrusivn]

Can your voices go away when on medication ?

[Loial]

For some people voices will go away completely & for others they just become a lot quieter & less frequent.

Unless I'm distracted I hear voices pretty much 24/7 at the moment but they are quiet. Doesn't affect how much they can get to me though.

When I was on medication before I only heard them for like an hour or so a day on average.

[Intrusivn]

before you were on medication did you realize that you were hallucinating ?

[Intrusivn]

Can anybody answer me ?

No I thought I was telepathic or psychic....I had delusions with my hallucinations and little insight.....about 60% are like this the other 40% realize they are hallucinating....

[Intrusivn]

What about emotional coldness. Have you experienced this ?

[Sometimes psychotic]

Yes for about a week I felt human interaction had no value.....it was completely meaningless.....

[Loial]

I wouldn't quite call it coldness... more like indifference. I tend to get less joy from things & I don't think about what goes on with people I know or the wider world.

It's not like I don't care, the thought just doesn't cross my mind.

I avoid social interaction a bit too because I find it hard & mentally draining.

[Intrusivn]

All of you seem quite normal to me. It's not the idea I have of a schizophrenic person
