Title: schizophrenia or seeing dead people
Post by: pzangel on June 22, 2014, 08:54:40 pm
Is anyone here diagnosed with schizophrenia? I have something called schizo-effective-tendencies (yes that's an actual diagnosis) And I've seen dead people, ALOT. I know some people have this gift and some people don't. So I often wonder, how many people with this gift are labeled as a schizophrenia? I mean, I guess if they gave me some badass meds and a check, I wouldn't complain anyways, but society needs to broaden their horizons a bit.

You mean Schizoaffective disorder? And are you sure you're not fucking retarded too, because you sure sound it. How many times were you dropped on the head as an infant?
I'm not sure if you're trolling or are just actually rucking fetarded. If you actually believe you're seeing dead people you must be the latter.
I think it'd be better for yourself and society if you just ended your pathetic existence as soon as possible. This is cheap, easy and painless, enjoy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_bag

Ah yes. The classic 'Is what I'm seeing actually real?' question. It's actually a good question and one I can't answer at all really. If you're really serious, you could try seeing some paranormal experts about it but they're shifty at best.

There's no such thing as a paranormal expert, they're con artists who prey on the weak minded. OP needs to see a psychiatrist.

Shiva, YOU should broaden your horizons. Not everything is black or white........ there's so many things that our minds are not capable of explaining or comprehending......... thanks for the suicide bag link...... I myself probably wont ever need it but I know many people who cry about suicide WAY too much so maybe I'll turn them on to that.
Arnox, yes I might just do that. I have never thought of that.... I've always been my own paranormal "investigator". I'll look into whos in Dallas.
I'll have to come back later and check out the vid cuz my speakers are unplugged at the moment.....long story......

Well there's schizoaffective disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoaffective_disorder). That's why she sees dead people. Because she's a nutcase.

A mentally unstable girl with glasses and bleak outlook on life? Scissor me Xerxes, I'm in heaven.
It's good to see you haven't changed XD.
As for OP, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that you have a problem but the schizos that I know that take their meds experience what's called a double edged sword. On the one hand they no longer have delusions and mental breakdowns but on the other they are rendered social zombies. My one friend goes completely catatonic on lithium but he takes it to stop the "abnormalities". He's decided to trade his social existence for a quite mind. His choice. They won't prescribe you any kickass meds. You're looking at lithium or seroquel at best as well as few other anti-psychotic meds. I was taking seroquel as a sleep aid. Shit knocks me the fuck out. At high enough dosages it'll make you hallucinate but it sounds like you don't need any help with that as is.
I've frequently been told that life comes down to your own perception of being. Your own happiness is dependent upon how you deal with the challenges you face. So, I guess this all comes down to you, doesn't it?
By the way, if that photo is an actual photo of you it's best to tell you that it's probably a good idea to leave any identifying information off of the internet.

And they aren't shifty at best? Not saying there aren't a few good ones but a lot get into it because insurance pays a whole bunch to treat psychological disorders.
But OP is anything real? Maybe.
Is it a big holodeck? Maybe.
Is this the entrance to the rabbit hole of quantum physics? Yes, yes it is.

Simple solution with a simple equation:
Can other people see what youre seeing?
Yes: youre fine No: youre fucking nuts and should find some medication to unfuck yourself

"And fountains of unsolicited advice poured forth" :D
@OP, if you're still around...
I'd imagine schizoaffective is misdiagnosed frequently enough, but full blown schizophrenics tend to have a lot more issues with quality of life, experience more cognitive difficulty, and have below average intelligence. Schizoaffective folk tend to have higher than average intelligence and increased reliance on divergent thinking. They're functionally different.
