info needed on Schizophrenia, page 13

i have schizophrenia.
i think.
schizophrenia is hard to diagnose from what i know.
from what i heard, schiophrenia can be confused with bipolar, delusionary disorder, manic depression, paranoia, post-traumatic disorder, anxiety, and even ADD.
it is very complicated.
but i get depressed very easily 1 minute and happy the next.
sometimes i think everyone can read my mind and i am the newbie on this world.
i know that stuff sounds crazy, but i don't believe it as much as you. but it attacks me and i can't help to believe it as a possibility. i've unrealisticaly thought of my self as Jesus, Goku(DBZ), and the president of USA. unrealisticly though, i never seriously believed it, but i went down to deep in a hole pondering things and felt as if. and no, i am not crazy. i could relate a lot of things i have been through to you that you would call me crazy for but in turn i could say i was euphoric somehow through most events.

be the way, i believe i have a drug induced form of schizophrenia, *snip*. it has recently been proven that marijuana DOES let forth schizophrenia in individuals who have it dormant in them. *snip*
i am peaceful and i consider myself well above average in intelligience, but too many times in the day i am off track thinking some crazy ass stuff that sometimes leads unto a wonderful conclusion but most of the time i just say, "what *snip* was i just thinking?!"

I am very sorry to hear that. The drugs you are taking will help stabilize you while you need them. I can tell you--from knowing a few schizophrenics and reading about the “illness”--having a mind that flies all over the place is not the real problem. Many great geniuses in history have apparently had that condition (they are simply more in touch with the primal and creative forces in the universe). I believe the problem is really fear. I suspect that all of your negative symptoms come from fear, and there are a lot of posts on this site that will help generate that fear. All of the New World Order and Skull and Bones and Tribulation threads are enough to make anyone afraid. My advice is to stop visiting this site (as you say you will) and listen to your inner, more positive and hopeful voice. This will take time and work, but eventually your roving mind will begin to dart off in more positive directions. Remember that there is a lot of good in this world, and any negative thought can be turned into a positive one with a change in perspective. But more importantly, thoughts are just that, thoughts, and the only truth out there is what lies in our hearts. Love is the foundation of the universe and you are embarked on a great adventure of spiritual growth that includes a visit (or several visits) to this material plane to grow and learn about the importance love. After death, you will go on to experience great and wonderful things, but first you must get through this life…learn from it, be responsible for your thoughts, love those around you and MOST IMPORTANTLY choose hope over fear and love over hate. Also know that you are protected and loved. This life is a challenge and you are up to it.

Best of luck…and force yourself to think positive.

Paranoid Schizophrenia -- My mother had it. My sister's son has it. My daughter's father had like symptoms from heavy use of street drugs including heroin. Now my daughter's husband has paranoid schizophrenia including hearing a demon telling him to kill my daughter. He never used drugs or alcohol and is very young.
Isn't this a lot? There is definitely demonic involvement in the last case. What about a person who cannot go to a priest because he is not Eastern Orthodox? Yes, we are all Christians, and we rely on Jesus. We need to know how to get protection from the persons who have this disease who are progressively more and more violent. My daughter has horrible suffering from his behavior and just knowing about the demon and also now poverty including not enough food.

This is not true. Most never receive proper treatment. I had it, now it is gone. NO, meds. Just prayer.

You are right. Most never get proper treatment. because they can't. It still doesn't mean that schizophrenia has the cure. It doesn't. And if your boss or family member may stress you, you will get schizophrenia again and again. Therefore it's not gone, you just need a certain situation to enable it. And this is the fact making schizos extremely dangerous. The fact that they feel healthy, and for any reason they turn out to be violent killers.

This is one of the most rampant schizophrenia myths. There is no correlation between violence and schizophrenia. There is a lot of information at this site
Someone else has posted this site too. There are a lot of people who function in society with the illness because they are properly medicated. i think it is misinformation that keeps some folks from getting proper help.

Get the man to a hospital or clinic to be seen by a doctor, please. Schizophrenia (or other mental illness) has nothing to do with demonic possession. It is backwards ignorant thinking like this that creates out of control schizophrenics. I cant believe people still believe this demonic crap in an age where we can get information within seconds online.If the man does harm someone it will be partially your fault if don't help him. Even the church will suggest a psychiatric evaluation first.
