I don't take meds. I refuse them.

I don't care if it's scary as Hell; I won't deny the Truth.

The meds make your mind clowdy. :/

It actually helps a lot.

If I have a bad day, I usually come on here, and I just read through various threads. I don't know why, but it makes me feel better.

I guess it's mostly because even though I may see creepy things sometimes, or hear something that isn't there, I can always come online and see what's really going on with the world.

Plus, I can relate to a lot of the things people go through, even if it's not real.

I'd rather not talk about eyes. One of my visual hallucinations is everyone's eyes look like they have a blurry censor over them. Not a bar over the top of the face, but a round censor over each eye.

To guess, though... Brown?

The voices aren't.. physical, I guess you could call them? When I "hear" them, I realize that it's just in my head, but it's not as vague as simply thinking up something. It's like a thought, but forced upon you.

Yes, music helps great deals. I crank it up and put in some headphones, and I can think clearly. That's what I'm doing right now.

December 2008 is when it all started.

Nightwalking dreams don't even begin to describe it.

When I go to sleep, I wake up in another world. I just stay in my room for a while, and keep the door locked, because I know it isn't a real world outside my bedroom.

I'm stuck in the dream-state until I go to sleep in it, which is when I wake up in the real world.

I suppose I could say it's like an involuntary, advanced form of astral projection/meditation.

I have had hundreds of revelations/insights into the unknown. Most of them are pretty mind blowing, but the important thing is to remember that you're not thinking logically, and that it will pass over time. And it always does pass.

It's difficult to talk about some of them, because it's easy for me to get stuck on the same level of thinking as before, and go through it again.

We're interesting people! We're just a little off sometimes. =P

I once tried to convince my cousin that I was his Guardian Angel. Haha.

hi there OP

- I'm with the above poster- are you paranoid schizophrenic?... but regardless you should NOT be off your meds- it's not safe for you- or other people

Some of my closest friends have been paranoid schizophrenic and I know how messy things can get when they don't take their meds, please reconsider that.

If you have only recently been diagnosed and are young, you may not know what you're in for- I hope you get the help you need.

1. The dominant voice is mine, which is why I refuse meds. I'm able to remain in a half sane, half schizophrenic mindset, which is safe. I'm unsure how many voices there are, as some days there will be more than others, but there are at least two that are always with me.

2. One voice, other than my own, actually works in my favor. Whenever the other of my two regulars talks, it is usually negative: "You will not win. We will get you. You will have to be institutionalized eventually. You cannot escape Us." However, when the kind one speaks, it usually consists of small inspirational comments: "Don't listen to him. We're all in your head. I will be with you no matter what."

Sometimes, I've thought that this voice is God. Other times, I like to think it's a passed loved one encouraging me to continue on my trek.

As for the other random voices, I never know what they're going to say.

3. I've spoken to mental health professionals. I am paranoid schizophrenic, but I am not violent, and have not had any psychotic episodes. It usually remains as a constant buzz in the back of my head. Yes, you can physically feel schizophrenia in your head.

Please, ask any questions you want. I will get to them eventually, even if there are many.

I encourage curiosity.

How well do you hold a job?

If you start to say something socially that would be considered "odd". Do you realize it, or does it seem normal and average to you?

Only read this if you are quite young?
