Is this something they commonly do to schizophrenics?

[insilence]

well the aspects of schizophrenia namely "hallucintaions" can make it seem as though that is occuring, although the medications they offer they dont know about fully, and ive never heard a psych-doctor warn me about side effects. in fact the one time i allowed them to double drug me i developed distonia and degeneration in my neck.

after that ive insisted that i control my dosage and i will look up any drug they want me on. THough im on 250mg of clozapine at night, which helps reduce the voices greatly, my psychologist wants me on 300-500 per night, but im a heavy smoker and at 300mg i was getting near heart attacks and shortness of breath.

if you can keep your head straight around them they wont respond with force. its if someone panics in the ward that they strap you down and sedate. it seems evil but they do it for safety. after the first few months of these attacks, i have been able to mostly handle them rationaly.

No, they intend to do mean things to me. Like, coming into my home and stealing clothing and money from me. Stabbing me with knives while they yell at me to keep me up for nights on end. Sexually abuse me.

this is not meant to be mean or not believe, but i think your going through psychosis. i never got full on visions of people in my home, but the voices kept me up for days several times. if anything you should document somehow ..video/audio recording and post it, get the advice of someone you trust to tell you the truth. sorry your going through that.

No, these people really did this stuff to me and never apologized. Maybe it would be easier to accept the situation if the people had some remorse.

j_m, you frequently post about people stealing from you, hurting you, and so on. Oftentimes those people are mental healthcare workers. I agree with insilence: I believe you are experiencing psychosis. It seems to me that you're not aware of the extent of your mental illness.

No, they did and they never said they were sorry. I just wanted them to leave me alone.

Have you filed a police report, then? If people steal from you or abuse you, especially if they are medical professionals, you have every right to file a report.

I had a friend with schizophrenia ( she moved away) when thing were bad for her she was convinced that the mental health workers were poisoning her and raping her. The rape was part of her history that the illness made her experience again and again. For what ever reason my food and water were safe, no one else's I was a safe person for her to talk to....
.......find your safe person and let them know what's happening to you.

I'm in and out but I'll try again cause this is basically a repeated topic...

I've read that schizophrenics and other mentally ill peeps in generalizations are more likely to be victimized much of the time because their vulnerable...... That's has been certainly true in my life. Alot of people have exploited my schizophrenia because they're assholes. And I've met some seriously stupid doctors who didn't treat me well, not cause they meant to be sadists but because they were just not with it way more than there patience.

I've read quite a few of you're topics and it just seems like you're seeing enemies everywhere and that sucks, but it's possible that not EVERYONE is out to get you. There's gotta be some people around in your real life who don't want to see you suffer any more than you already are. Find those............
