what do you think Sup Forums? is this just a product of our atheist society? is it diagnosed as a mental illness by kike shrinks or is it really demonic possession and could be cured by an exorcism?

It's intense paranoia induced by narcissism induced by bad parenting.
John Gray
Normal people have a system in their brain that can see meaning in meaningful stimuli, and relationships between those stimuli.
Paranoid schizos see meaning in everything despite the fact that that meaning does not exist (e.g., my toast came out too dark so the devil is ruining my life)
Carter Bell
I'm actually a medfag doing psychiatry residency. Most of what you said is false. Many schizophrenics describe hearing pleasant, complementary, or otherwise interesting voices
Juan Jenkins
>describe hearing pleasant, complementary, or otherwise interesting voices do you have any data like percentage of those affected by negative stimuli vs those affected by positive stimuli?
Tyler Watson
it's a genetic disorder you retard
Christian Perez
>It's intense paranoia induced by narcissism induced by bad parenting. the only schizo i know has about 4 siblings all normal people, she used to play with the ouija board a lot and then developed this, she had a job and everything then started with the paranoia and hallucinations
Landon Reyes
Some schizos do hear see and hear nice things, in fact in Poo in Loo Land, it's more common for it to be nice and friendly.

Definitely demons Let me tell a story about my mom
My mom saw things since she was 8 In the beginning he was friendly And very good She became a medium, the most famous in town She talked to spirits and things They all seemed nice They appeared in all white Then my mom abandons this She felt that even though the spirits treated her right, something was not ok A feeling of danger, and evil She became Christian These same spirits that appeared to her in all white and was good Transformed into horrible beasts that tormented her day and night This happened for years They wanted her to go back at being a medium She didn't gave in Jesus cleaned her Sometimes months passes without her seeing anything God allows it sometimes so she can see who's with the devil and who isn't
I have more personal stories if you wanna hear it
Do you go to church? What's your denomination?
Jackson Stewart
wow so does environment affect this mental disorder?
like if you have the genetic disorder but live in a mostly positive environment you would most likely hallucinate positive things?
if you would hallucinate positive things would that be bad?

I see a lot of people commenting this, it is a redpill for me
kind of makes me think that if religious people tried DMT or LSD would it take them closer to god or take them further away from him?

I didn't realize this >The inverted cross in his forehead is satanic Written Messiah She's having visions of the Antichrist.
Grayson Edwards
Further You get closer to God by praying, singing to him, going to church, observing and obeying his law You don't get close to him by drugging yourself It's not different than getting drunk
Joseph Green
The ind is made up of the concious and unconcious mind. The unconcious holds the self which is your true self and it also contains your shadow. Schizos are people who have ignored their unconcious mind for to long that now its appearing in tge concious whenever it pleases. In order to avoid this you must realize what the dark forces in you want and try to appease them some how.
Justin Hughes
Actually the self is separate from both or it at least tries to be.
Brandon Flores

Consciousness is not as clear cut as people think. There is consciousness everywhere. There are beings all around us that are invisible. We are invisible to them. Like humans some are good some are malevolent and some are a mix. We can't interact with or sense them physically but we can psychically under certain conditions. Most of these beings are not even complete individuals, they are like psychic parasites and they cannot exist separate from us. Insanity, dreams, shamanic rituals and hallucinogens essentially open the doorway between our worlds. Sometimes these beings help or hurt people. Every culture has a tradition regarding how to interact with and (if need be) control them. These range from good things like exorcism to diabolical witchcraft.
I would recommend reading Transcendental Magic by Eliphas Levi, the Three Books by Agrippa, and The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall if you want to know more about this stuff. Aleister Crowley is also interesting.
Angel King
Am I schizo? I don't exactly see or hear shit but I have an insane level of paranoia that makes world seem like some kind of surreal non-stop horror show
The only thing that stops me from an heroing is the fact that I'm also terrified of whatever the afterlife could be
Jose Taylor
IF I have bouts of paranoia and feelings of "what the fuck, this isn't real life", am I a schizo or just breaking the conditioning?
Jace Murphy
I would recommend you sit in a bitch black room with a flame burning and just sit and meditate. Let your mind go and then try to control it
Cooper Johnson
Were you raised by a single mother? I'm not making a negative assumption, I'm genuinely curious so I can gain further insight into what you're going through. It might be similar to what I'm experiencing.
If not a single mother, what were your parents like?
Oliver Rogers
Work on psych unit. Read that horrible visions and negative voices is a western culture thing and schizos from africa/india hallucinate positive voices angels, god, friendly spirits and relatives. Can comfirm a few straight out of africa blacks who spend more time laughing and dancing with their hallucinations. Does not apply to us blacks though.

"Entities," "aliens," and haunting images are thoughts over which you do not have control.
Jaxson Garcia
This chick is looking for attention. Schizophrenia is more like your subconscious that you think is real. You don't see floating eyes and shit, you hear voices and imagine something is something it isn't. It's tied with paranoia. You can't tell the difference between a thought and reality.
Adam Torres
>tfw I never really had a real mother Is this connected?
Charles Rogers
I guess you guys have never known a schizo very intimately. I deal on a day to day basis with an autist as well as a schizo, both are mentally defective and get free money for being so. Schizophrenia is basically autism spectrum with the addition of paranoia and possible hallucinations. Interacting with people of both disorders is no different. If you do a little research you will find that researchers have come to find that the areas of the brain which malfunction in autism, do so in schizophrenia albeit in slightly different ways. Many people who have autism develop late onset schizophrenia. It has nothing to do with intelligence level etc.
Leo Perez
Then that's nurture. Tell her to eat properly, drink more water, and sleep better. If she has stress in her life, like an abusive husband, or bad children, she needs to fix that. If that doesn't work, she needs to see a (((doctor))).
Michael Kelly
>trying to explain sleep paralysis to someone who believes in demonic possesion
Colton Richardson
I doubt it's demon possession considering all schizos have similar brains that are widely different to brains belonging to mentally healthy people. I had a girlfriend for a few months that had paranoid schizophrenic very bad, and she had a habit of taking more adderall than she was supposed to and she would just be absolutely insane at times. She once told me that one night while I was sleeping in her room with her that a little government drone (like a civilian hobby drone) flew into the open window of her bedroom and left a note that she better leave me or I'll be dead. That scared the shit out of me (that she would kill me in psychosis, not the gov) so I left and never talked to her again. The sex and blowjobs were fucking amazing, she had moves like a professional pornstar, but I learned why there is a saying to never stick your dick in crazy.

My hallucinations start with smelling imaginary dogshit, rotten food and vomit smells everywhere.. I don't think that's psychic power.
Chase Bailey
It might be. Just realize you have a male part and a female part in your mind and your job is to unite these parts along with others and yourself into your concious mind. Start reading Jung and meditate a bit
Nicholas Ortiz
Recently been seeing bugs crawl on my bed at night, but there aren't any when i look for them. Hopefully I'm not going insane.
Benjamin Torres
off-topic, but related: People with schizophrenia who are deaf from birth will hallucinate amputated hands signing obscene/horrific things at them
Adrian Torres
It might feel like you've become aware of something(a voice, a pattern etc). You aren't sure if it's real but you sure do perceive it.
This experience together with a strong emotions engraves itself as a "modus operandi" in your subconscious and emerges from time to time together with the auditory/visual hallucinations.
Juan Wright
the kind of hallucinations one might see or hear ,wether they're good or bad ,depends alot on the culture,society and other enviromental factors. Our society is very hectic and fast , we're being bombarded daily by ads,news,work whereas in Poo the Loo the poor people struggle but using their whole lives for it. By being overloaded with all these one functions in the β-brainwaves which stimulate for sympathetic activity,fight or flight,cortisol release which is a stress hormone and causes inflammation. By being in these states the hallucinations will always seem like a threat to ones mind and thus may take a distorted and fearsome look. Our natural state of mind is in the α-brainwaves , we should be in said state constantly unless real danger is anticipated. In a culture that is more connected with nature , prays conciously to God daily and is aware , a schizo wont find his hallucinations as dangerous and thus may interact with them. Definately though when said schizo comes face to face with a real thread his hallucinations will also be scary
Colton Taylor
>How come they never hallucinate beautiful images or comfy sounds? Some of them are.

I am pretty sure schitzos can hear pleasant things in their hallucinations

it starts with that, then its me thinking I can read peoples intentions, then I hear people on tv repeat words after I've just said them, which may be a coincidence but I read too much into it. Then if left untreated I have full blown episodes where I hear distorted radio sounds while the room shakes around me.
I'm on a long term 3rd generation antipsychotic, it has minimal sides just makes me a bit dumber.
Grayson Stewart
It's highly probable that playing the ouija wasn't the trigger of her schizophrenia, but rather that it's the source of her hallucinations.
David Baker
drugs are a hell of a drug
Asher Miller
>How come Schizos only hear/see frightening/negative images and sounds?
Brain malfunctions and causes confusion. In such state of disorientation the mind goes panic mode where everything is assumed a threat. That's why most hallucinations or lucid dreams are frightening.
Nathan Hill
If you can relate, then you might have an anxiety disorder. It can be cured by identifying the context in which these hallucinations emerge and then try to create and reinforce positive experiences in them. Drugs could help create a positive experience aswell but please only with a doctors advice.
Jaxon Bennett
you can have temporary self-induced schizophrenia as well if you'd like to test it out.
-sleep deprivation -fasting from food -heavy meditation -breathing exercises
I was awake 72 hours because it was a rough time and when I finally laid down to sleep I started hallucinating spiders crawling all over me which kept waking me up. I would keep hallucinating something fucked up on me or in my room every time I was about to go to sleep.
Ended up taking some sleeping pills and I slept 24 hours and felt fine afterwards

This, I want to see a picture of a bloated fat acne ridden man with schizophrenia, the more common kind of we want to even start dispelling stereotypes or stigma...
Jordan Mitchell
>How come Schizos only hear/see frightening/negative images and sounds? Heightened norepinephrine leads to fearful feelings via the fight-flight response. The same exact thing can be initiated in non-schizophrenics via stimulant psychosis.Despite the euphoric feelings a drug like methamphetamine can cause, it can also lead to intensely fearful and distressing situations. Alpha-PVP and MDPV are notorious for initiating these hallucinations, love-hatingly referred to as the "shadow people".
But it all comes down to an overstimulation of the fight-flight response combined with intense D2 agonism.
Noah Watson
Panic attack? I can be paranoid about what those who control things do to fuck us over (fuck you fluoride) but generally it just makes me depressed when I first find out, then I take whatever steps are realistic to solve the problem the governments force down our throats (brush teeth with baking soda, use reverse osmosis filter, take quick showers and don't stand under the water, never use teflon pans). It's probably not a good idea to get wrapped in a cycle of paranoia, if you have some kind of predisposition for schizophrenia, bad bouts of paranoia can make you snap and start the fall into madness.
Easton Young

Kevin Mitchell
Depends on the model you're operating in, all of which you should be open to. Demonic possession, rampant unconscious mind, unprepared Kundalini awakening, overactive third eye, genetics, overactive dopaminergic receptors, failure of sensory gating on event-related potentials in the brain, etc.
Jonathan Diaz
I've read that schizophrenia rates may be higher than thought, because some people experience delusions and hallucinations are not immediately unpleasant and thus do not believe anything is wrong.
Brayden Edwards
Well lots of people do experience beautiful things in the same sense that they would otherwise be diagnosed as schizophrenic OP, one of the most famous examples would be William Blake who saw beautiful and occasionally very frightening visions overlaid over reality his whole life. The difference is that only a person seeing horrible things has a problem with it and so only they are unwell. Often people who have started having pleasant or unobtrusive experiences have tried to suppress it and this has caused them to become frightening.
There's a measurable physical component but I wouldn't say it's all just in the head and I say that from personal experience of people with the disease. Really, like with Jung, it makes more sense if you think of it as just spirits.
Ignore this retard , a pure example of a moron too stupid to even realise they're a moron.

Christopher Sanders
No if you lived in a positive environment there is a strong probability that it would never surface as periods of stress and particularly dysfunctional families seem to have a big effect in bringing the condition on.

Samuel Hernandez
I think that girl may just be an edgy attention whore.
To your broader question of why hallucinations are negative, I think that evolutionarily the human brain is wired to always be on the lookout for danger in order to survive. It makes sense then that if the brain is malfunctioning that that sense would go awry and be hyper sensitive.
Jayden Walker
This is the answer. Your emotions are amplified and your fears, anxiety, anger are all expressed as an auditory or visual hallucination.
You can experience this by slowly falling asleep and then stopping somewhere on the cusp of sleep and wakefulness, in the hypnagogic state or just prior to this.
One of the main areas involved is the hippocampus.
Wyatt Nelson
I don't see why it's hard to believe that the human brain can fuck up without some kind of supernatural source behind it.
Gabriel Lewis
At least you accept that it's your brain. That's huge. Experiment with self induced hypnagogia and see if this doesn't help you to shut it off. Also get tested for thyroid issues. Does it happen when you have low blood sugar?
