wanna fug?

>wanna fug?
You're on point tonight, but no thanks.

Hi op!
Long time, no see. What's new and exciting?

>Hi op!
Howdy
>Long time, no see.
Yeah, I've been MIA for a while.
>What's new and exciting?
It's not quite as hot outside..

Yeah, it's cooled off here too. I'll have to break out my winter clothes soon.

Do the drugs help?

High functioning sociopath here

I had an interesting experience as far as disassociation goes and it knocked me into this weird world where internal and external sensory experiences were indistinguishable.

Was this similar to how your first experiences with schizophrenia went? And how far did the disassociation (if any) go?

>Yeah, it's cooled off here too.
Good to hear. The heat was so bad this year here. Can't wait for the fucking swarms of mosquitos to finally go away.
>winter clothes
>Wearing winter clothes
weak.
>Do the drugs help?
I don't take any medications

What kind of hallucinations do you get?

>High functioning sociopath here
Hello, edgelord. :^)
>Was this similar to how your first experiences with schizophrenia went?
That's a pretty good description of it, yes.
>And how far did the disassociation (if any) go?
They have gone pretty far, like thinking I'm not the same person, or this isn't even my body. Or that my own thoughts/emotions aren't mine.
Those are pretty extreme cases though, it doesn't happen all of the time.
>What kind of hallucinations do you get?
It's mostly stuff like floating disembodied heads, a big shadow figure that wears a trench coat and has no eyes, seeing human figures around.

just curious if these threads help you cope with your illness user.
i see you pose them pretty often and just wondered.

>>Can't wait for the swarms of mosquitoes to go away.

I won't miss the skeeters. But I will miss our late summer guest, the mighty praying mantis.

What anti phycotics do you take? I take Latuda

>just curious if these threads help you cope with your illness user.
That's one way to put it, yes.
>i see you pose them pretty often and just wondered.
I don't post them that often anymore, though.
>But I will miss our late summer guest, the mighty praying mantis.
I never see any around here, lucky you.
>What anti phycotics do you take?
None, I avoid all medications if it all possible.

You have to know when and where to look. Usually by the first week in August they appear. They favor Goldenrod and bone-set flowers. If there is any milkweed still in bloom, you'll find a mantis there too.

>You have to know when and where to look.
I don't think there many around here. Mostly just a lot of lizards appear around August and October

Shinobu is the best !

>floating heads

Sounds pretty scary. Ever see anything good, like puppies or floating heads that tell jokes?

Chek'd
What kind of lizards? We don't have any around here. We do have frogs and toads. Lots of painted turtles. Occasionally, we see an Eastern Snapping Turtle. They can grow quite large around here..

>Shinobu is the best !
Yes, she is.
Did I do it right?
>Sounds pretty scary
Hmm, it used to spoop me every now and then I've gotten used to it though. So it's not bad.
>Ever see anything good
I can't say that I have.
>floating heads that tell jokes?
Made me giggle.
>What kind of lizards?
I'm not sure of what species they are. I'll post a pic in a minute of one I befriended a few weeks back.
We also have a lot of turtles around here. Poor things get ran over a bunch.

We did it right.

shouldn't your brain be melted by now?

>letting your brain melt

>We did it right.
That's good.
>shouldn't your brain be melted by now?
Nah, I keep it in a freezer to prevent that.

Omg, it's so cute!

Brown anole :3, they're all over the place in Florida

Brown Anole. Thanks for that.
What do they eat?

>Omg, it's so cute!
It was the friendliest little lizard I've ever met. I played with it for about 20 minutes. Then when I tried to release it, it kept jumping back on my shirt.
>they're all over the place in Florida
They're literally everywhere. When I walk outside like 10 of them scatter around the porch.

>>When I tried to release it, it kept jumping back on my shirt.

He loves you! Looks like you have a new friend!

>Looks like you have a new friend!
I haven't seen that one since I released it though. It probably got ate by something.
rip lizard

most likely not a Schizophrenic, but just some random faggot that wants attention. ever heard of Munchausen’s?

>but just some random faggot that wants attention.
>Gives a vague description of literally every person on Sup Forums
Well, you tried at least.
>ever heard of Munchausen’s?
Yes, I'm quite aware of it.

Not every person wants attention, some people just want to live their lives. I’m guessing you have Munchausen’s and you’re just pretending to have Schizophrenia. Stop trying so hard.

>Not every person wants attention
Literally every person on Sup Forums does. Anyone who says otherwise is a lying faggot.
>Stop trying so hard.
What makes you think I'm trying hard? I'm just answering questions.

Trying to get attention is what I’m saying. There is no reason for you to state that you have Schizophrenia, you’re just saying you have it for the attention. What’s so hard to understand?

Aw, what a shame. Maybe you'll find another lizard buddy.

>Trying to get attention is what I’m saying.
I never said I wasn't.
Literally EVERYONE on Sup Forums is.
>There is no reason for you to state that you have Schizophrenia
Sure there is, so people who are interested can ask any questions they may be curious about.
>Maybe you'll find another lizard buddy.
I'm sure I will, there are plenty around.

Hello!!~
How are you user?

>Hello!!~
Hiya
>How are you user?
I'm alright, how are you tonight?

I'm good thank you~
What're these threads for? Just to talk or?

>I'm good thank you~
Good to hear
>What're these threads for? Just to talk or?
Just to pass the time until I get tired enough to go to sleep.

Welp, I gotta go now. As always, it was very nice talking to you!
Goodnight!

>Welp, I gotta go now.
Catch you around

Oh I see, that's kind of cool!!
This might sound a little offensive but, I don't mean anything by it so, I'm sorry if it comes across as so but, what's it like being schizophrenic?~

How do you make do without medication? My gf basically takes her medication everyday at like 5am and without it she starts acting up.

>This might sound a little offensive but
Don't worry.
>what's it like being schizophrenic?~
That's a difficult question to answer in a meaningful way. But here goes:
A lot of normal things feel confusing, real stuff feels fake, fake stuff feel real. Everything seems like something it's not.

not the original replyer but have any of the video games gotten it right?

I see, I'm sorry to hear that user..
Does it ever make things difficult? May I have an example? Feel free to say no

how's your night terrors?

Hey, Schizo user, I hope you're doing well tonight! Always nice to see you around.

What's the one thing you do that you could get arrested for?

>How do you make do without medication?
Well, I don't really do anything. It's also not super severe most of the time so I can sort of manage by myself.
>have any of the video games gotten it right?
Dunno, I've never played any that had to do with Schizo.
>I see, I'm sorry to hear that user..
It is what it is.
>Does it ever make things difficult?
It makes social interaction quite difficult. I often go off on random tangents that make no sense.
>how's your night terrors?
Night terrors?
>Hey, Schizo user
Hello, user.
>I hope you're doing well tonight!
I'm doing alright.
>What's the one thing you do that you could get arrested for?
The only illegal thing I really do anymore is smoking the dank ganja

Well for what it's worth, I think you're nice to talk to~
Do you ever have any hallucinations or anything like that due to the schizophrenia?

You claim to be a schiz but yet have never herd of night terrors? How old are you. Self diagnosing?

Hey user good to see your posting again...so I guess my question is do you dream in color or b/w?

>I think you're nice to talk to~
Glad you think so.
>Do you ever have any hallucinations or anything like that due to the schizophrenia?
I mostly have auditory hallucinations like voices and ambient sounds like birds chirping or ringing sounds sometimes static.
>You claim to be a schiz but yet have never herd of night terrors?
I've heard of night terrors. But I extremely seldom have any sort of dreams.
>How old are you.
25
>Self diagnosing?
No, a psychologist, not medically diagnosed.
>so I guess my question is do you dream in color or b/w?
Vivid color.

Gf of mine has night terrors pretty bad. We could be sleeping and she starts moving about and it happens throughout the night sometimes. It varies with her and whenever she has them constantly she sometimes just refuses to sleep until she passes out. Just tossing what my experience is like being close to some with schizophrenia is like.

Sounds pretty rough.
I don't know if I myself actually experience night terrors, though.
Occasionally I'll wake up in a panic and try to attack random things around me, or become distrustful of my surroundings. (like thinking my cover is trying to attack me) and I often wake up completely drenched in sweat.

Now that I really think about it, I wake up in a panicked state fairly often.

Interesting, thank you for answering my questions this far user!!

Not talking about dreams man, I'm talking about the devil coming for a visit. Ill say this, if your for real you need to nip this in the butt before he does. Because when he starts coming around it's hell getting rid of him.

Thats exactly what she goes through whenever its real bad. For her it acts up whenever her medication starts wearing off though not always. She'd wake up with her auditory hallucinations acting up and while most of the times she can cope with them, it really fucks with her whenever she wakes up and she's hearing all these things.

Loud music and tv. Sleep with it on if you have to

no

Also bro, it isn't easy living with that. Don't have kids to early, and when you do take them if you split, dont matter if you think she's fine. They never grow out of it.

>Is there anything that sets you off?
When people display a large amount of (negative) emotion (like anxiety). I haven't figured out why, but I'll start to feel whatever emotion they're displaying. It'll get to the point where I'll start hearing their thoughts.
This is the primary reason I avoid people. People who can't control their outward emotions literally drive me crazy.

>Or, is there anything that makes your schizophrenia worse?
Weed makes it worse, but it's so much fun to do.
>Not talking about dreams man
Night terrors are a byproduct of dreams, are they not? I don't know a lot about night terrors. I just know the basic concept.
>Thats exactly what she goes through whenever its real bad.
Damn, I never knew that's what night terrors involved. Then I've actually had those a lot.
>She'd wake up with her auditory hallucinations acting up
I used to get this really bad, I'd wake up drenched in sweat and think spiders or something was trying to attack me and manically swat around me trying to kill whatever I perceived to be attacking me until I realized I was hallucinating and then I'd just pass back out.
>it really fucks with her whenever she wakes up and she's hearing all these things.
Ohh, her auditories act up when she has them? Are her auditory hallucinations her worst ones when she's psychotic?

It's the opposite for me, I rarely have visuals but when I wake up like that my visuals are what act up.

can i ask you to fuck off 4chins? no really isee you're gay post often fucking kill you're self faggot.

>can i ask you to fuck off 4chins?
You can. But, I think I'll stay for a while longer.
>no really isee you're gay post often
I don't even post that often tho.

You need to stop dating 8 year olds user.

Here visual hallucinations aren't too bad, she finds those annoying beyond belief. Its her auditory ones that mess with her a lot. She can't really sleep in the dark because it spooks the hell out of her, and yeah there are times when her auditory ones are extreme and overwhelm her.

...

Goddamnit Tyler go to bed

Yeah I know man, I been real careful with her. Everyone I know gives me hell for being with her since she has it, but when I met her she was pretty normal and for the most part still kinda is aside from having her moments. Its been pretty manageable so far.

We both be 23 my dude

hello friend! I have not seen you in a long time, I hope you've been well!

>She can't really sleep in the dark because it spooks the hell out of her
I can't sleep in the quiet because of that. I need some kind ambient sound like a fan or static or anything. Or else it's impossible to sleep.
>hello friend!
Hello
>I hope you've been well!
Been up and down, as usual.
How's it been with you?

I'm doing the best that I can! I'm glad to see you around again.

What meds so you take?

My bro has schizophrenia, and has had several suicide attempts. Anything you recommend that might help him cope? He has been getting better at filtering the delusions, so that's good.... But could be better.

Godspeed, man. I know how hard it is to deal with and accept that illness.

Yeah she always has a light of some sort on whenever she sleeps.

Aside from that I've seen your threads around and I think I skimmed through one a couple months back. Good to meet you user x)

>I'm doing the best that I can!
Good to hear.
>I'm glad to see you around again.
I'll probably wind up disappearing again. You can always hop in the discord if you want.
>What meds so you take?
None, I try to avoid all medications if at all possible.
>Anything you recommend that might help him cope?
The best thing I can recommend is for him to try not to let his reactions to his delusions/hallucinations to get out of control. It takes an incredible amount of patience. If he can manage his reactions to them and be able to notice when he's hallucinating or delusional it helps massively.
>Yeah she always has a light of some sort on whenever she sleeps.
Not gonna lie, that's pretty fuckin' cute.
>Aside from that I've seen your threads around
Glad you posted, it's nice talking to people whose S/O is also Schizo.
>Good to meet you user x)
Same to you, friend.

>What do I tell my friend
Well, if he wants to solve any of those problems the first step is to set some sort of routine.
Something simple, like making his bed every morning. Then after that's a normal thing, move onto something else. Like washing the dishes every day at 8pm. simple things like that are how you manage depression. the weightloss will come after that.

Latuda user here. If you dont take anything what do you do to help with schizophrenia?

Oh hey I just reset my discord and it worked! Just joined it right now x)

This is gonna be my last post I need to get some sleep.
>If you dont take anything what do you do to help with schizophrenia?
I don't really DO anything for it. I just kinda deal with it.
>Oh hey I just reset my discord and it worked! Just joined it right now x)
Good good.

Which happens to you more? Auditory or visual. For me it's mostly auditory

The op left a half hour ago. Look above for his discord server.
