Thats interesting. Thank you. I do not have the hallucinations and such as I did have before the medicine, but it is interesting to note that the indians (Native Americans) that I saw, I could see through them as well and the entire hallucination was a greenish color. Before I saw them a white smoke came in through the window, I've always wondered if it had anything to do with the area because Florida had many Native American tribes before the Trail of Tears.
Nice, that was a good post...I love the confidence you have in your sanity...hey, even if everything you've seen and heard was just a product of your imagination, at least you aren't trying to slice your body open in order to get the voices out of your head! Go back a page if you didn't get that joke.
Stop calling us psycho! I am a nice girl!

A diagnosis of schizophrenia is the mental health equivalent of giving a diagnosis of cancer. There is no conspiracy it is a very serious psychiatric condition and should a venerable person living with schizophrenia read a thread like this or similar to it, it may persuade them to stop taking medication and/or fuel any delusions of grandeur.

I am not laughing at them I am laughing at the stupidity of this thread.
I think that he means your initial post of finding the OP funny is somewhat akin to making fun of someone with schizophrenia. I don't think it is what you meant, just a poorly worded response.

Schizophrenia would suck so much. We all take for granted that what we experience is real, but if you couldn't trust that "reality", how would you cope?
I would imagine it to be frustrating. I for one would want meds. Normality is much easier to work with, don't you think?

I would add that ATS in general could be a very dangerous place for a schizophrenic. It's full of people preaching not to take pharma medication and others talking about alternative realities, higher plains of existence and any number of subjects that could potentially trigger or fuel a schizoid episode.
I feel sorry for the OP to have to endure this terrible affliction and will stress that regardless of what you read online, you must continue to take your meds.
Go in peace my friend.
Are you one of the guys that believes the new psychiatric disorder of eating healthy food is just a mental disorder? Just curious?
