My flat mate had a paranoid schizophrenic attack last 10 days ago. We had days of Russians invading, wedding plans, conversations with the tv and hostage takers on the phone.

We finally got him some medicine.

I have been looking for answers for this condition and the outlook does not look good. I however have trouble getting anyone to talk to me directly about what is happening due to patient confidentiality.

I hope my friend gets better and wish to help him however 10 days have gone by and I have started to think off my own concerns.

We share a mortgage, it seems unlikely he will be able to return to work, I also don't want to live in fear of attack for years to come.

I doubt he will agree to sell, so should I stop paying my mortgage, force a repossession and go through bankruptcy.

It seems extreme but I don't know if it is possible to live with my friend anymore.

>We share a mortgage
What? You made him seem like a random houso you're renting with, please elaborate more on this situation.

Paranoid schizo's just get worse, it could get better but then you're talking years, not months. Especially if it's something they developed due to dude weed lmao

Ey man im a schizophrenic and i got better from taking zyprexa. Now i have less than half the symptoms i used to. His condition will rapidly improve and worsen bbut he might be one of the lucky ones whos shit gets fixed with a pill. He also has to relearn how to live in his brain [took me a whole year)

Both in our 30´s, decided to get a joint tenacy on a flat as we were both wasting money on rent. I have known him for years, since school and he had no prior history of attacks. I would lose about 10k and never get on the property market again but I would prefer that to getting decapitated.

Also I know he doesnt do drugs, I do though. He does drink too heavily but then again all my friends do.

I mean tenancy in common, we have half the equity each but the inability to act without the others consent.

25k in benefits incoming.
Become his legal guardian, get some dosh on the side, keep him medicated.

If he didnt get ot from drugs, he has a worse version of the schiz harder to treat

He doesn't appreciate he is ill.

So it is best for me to bail?

I only get schizo when I smoke tons of medical weed.

It has to do with too much stimulus and bad memories I think.

I smoke weed and just feel extreme guilt, then anxiety.

The only reason I smoke it is because I can shoot huge loads and it helps with my sinuses. You wouldn't believe how fucked up you get living in a cold climate. I get pneumonia almost every winter and it lasts till spring, then relief for a few months and back to pneumonia.

Well all my friends abandoned me when i got it. I also couldnt hold down a job after i got it. I wouldnt blame you its hell dealing with a madman. Also he might randomly attack you (i randomly attacked some people lol)

Are you really a schizophrenic?

Sorry for your experiences. i had no idea how much thus sucked. I feel helpless, it is terrible for my friend.

I'm not diagnosed, but I call it brain static. My thinking voice starts talking to itself and I have to tell it to shut up.

Also, just because he doesnt realize hes crazy now doesnt mean he wont wisen up in a week or tommorow. Self awareness fades in and out and the stress is the only indicator of worsening psychosis

Tell him that NATO is ready to fucking rail Russia and he is safe.

Crazy pills really work. I went from believing i was dead and a wizard of magikal prowess to a beta boy in 2 days

Lel at self-diagnosis. You are retarded, believe me I'm self though brainless brain surgeon

Yes I have some thankfully but I try not to take them. Only in emergencies when I think the devil is eating my soul or something.

I feel empty without smoking weed, but I feel schizo when I smoke it. Sucks senpai.

Just get him posting here. It sounds like he would fit right in

I never said I was schizo, I just tend to think way too much and get paranoid.

What really puts me over the edge is if I play video games and watch tv at the same time.

Stress is a huge factor too, people don't know how much stress factors in until they have a nervous breakdown.

Are you sure this isn't your faggot lover? Homosexuality is mental illness user, there's some degree of comorbidity between that and other spastic conditions.

>I get pneumonia almost every winter and it lasts till spring, then relief for a few months and back to pneumonia.
I had that as a child, it turned out I was allergic to house mites, they live in your mattress and bed linen and it gets worse during winter, might want to check for that, also whenever you feel like getting a cold or you might get a problem with your sinuses use something like pic related, I haven't had a cold in years since I did this, you basically just rinse your nasal cavities with salt water, might want to try that out

Thanks for the tip, I've been meaning to buy a new bed anyway. How do I check for them anyway?

I'll give the nasal shit a try I guess.

Nah he´s ugly but he has told the doctor I provide him with brother sister porn, i think it is because I made him watch borat.

>I doubt he will agree to sell, so should I stop paying my mortgage, force a repossession and go through bankruptcy.

Don't be fucking stupid: SEE A FUCKING LAWYER ASAP

>He does drink too heavily but then again all my friends do
Your flag already said that for you, m8.
I've lived in England twice, could not believe how poorly you guys handle your alcohol. It's disgusting, tbqh. Even the fucking women are falling down drunk at the end of the night.

>helpguide.org/articles/schizophrenia/schizophrenia-treatment-and-recovery.htm
if it gets bad just drive him to psychiatric ward
there is specialized medical treatment centers in place for this kind of mental illness, he can no longer be responsible for his actions which leaves you only one thing to do

>So it is best for me to bail?

go see a lawyer. how can you be so stupid, it's the only chance you have to avoid fucking up your life.
You think you can just skip out on a fucking MORTGAGE??? You're not renting a fucking bedsit anymore, genius. Get real.

Nice Canandian, your are welcome here anytime

I´ll wreck your shit mate, stay away.

You have an anxiety disorder mate.

Start practicing CBT. I used to think my blood was turning to dust, it's all stress and anxiety related.

>You wouldn't believe how fucked up you get living in a cold climate. I get pneumonia almost every winter and it lasts till spring, then relief for a few months and back to pneumonia.

Get over yourself and move back to the Middle East or wherever you came from, then.
The cold doesn't give you pneumonia you fucking tool. It's your compromised immune system, I'd guess.
Maybe try a balanced diet and not smoking weed 24/7 so you "can shoot huge loads".

Stop being a self-centered baby and get some proper meds, take the on schedule, and get on with your life.

just let your doctor do a test if you are allergic, should you be allergic all you need is a mattress and linen made of synthetic stuff, they can't live in that, no shit made with real feathers and shit, also pets like birds, cats and dogs carry them, but your doctor will explain this if you actually are allergic, or you might google it yourself I am sure there a sites that explain this.

The nasal stuff really helped me, a friend told me about it he has been using it for years since he has really bad hay fever and it helps against that too.

you live in fucking Canada, ffs. See a doctor and get proper treatment.

There's literally no excuse not to, unless you enjoy playing the victim of mental illness.

Yeah we took him, he told a doctor that I am a peadophile puppet master programmer that he is working with under instruction of the united states of america in order to controll the currency. He said that I had been trying to kil him by putting pills in his food and that I was trying to force him to take the fall. He said that he was getting this beating but that I was getting the next.

The doctor replied that they had no spare beds in the ward and that we would have to take him home.

I live in a large city and it is clear they dont have the resources to help.

Iktf bro. Like when you take that puff and all of a sudden your ego dies and your moms ghost is telling you where the penis goes. It takes alot of energy to not yell at the tv for cussin me out

It's an anxiety disorder more than likely, I know EXACTLY what you mean by brain static.

Your "thinking voice" going out of control is commonly known as racing thoughts, really common in anxiety disorders.

Go see a doctor, lean on them to get you CBT, maybe some citalopram and you'll be right at rain in 6-10 months.

Unless you're a faggot that thinks mental illness makes you cool. In which case fuck yoself x

Lol sounds like me. Are the neighbors spying on him through the tv?

Why do you sound like a whiney fucking bitch? Not enough blm protests for you?

Let me recap for a second
>guy asks about friends nervous break down.
>tell him weed, being over-stimulated, and stressed plays a factor
>whiney faggot who is probably some russian hindu shitmix calls me brown and crazy

chill the fuck out boss.

Does he have parents? Maybe you should talk to them about what to do with their insane son that might want to kill you, they also might be willing to help with your financial problem

He lost wifi connection and said it was putin sending him a message.

His dad said he doesnt want to be responsible for him but that he can give us a ride if we ever need it His mum is an alcoholic and his sister has sent me a thank you text.

Lol classic. I used to think everytime the internet dropped out on my porn it was my mom using witchcraft to keep me from fapping. Also she would posess the porn stars making me cry while fapping and cursing my mom. Weird shit the broken brain

>We had days of Russians invading, wedding plans, conversations with the tv and hostage takers on the phone.
sounds like a fuckton of fun

>His dad said he doesnt want to be responsible for him
He should have thought about that before making him, don't let them cuck you into caring for their son, OP you have no responsibility to do so, also might want to check with a lawyer, he obviously can't make sane decisions anymore and needs a legal guardian or something like that. I see no reason for you ruin yourself just to get out of this.

>have anxiety
>hit up the doc for cock and ball torture

Ok

>Move out from your parents
>have to share with crazy people to make ends meet
Is this what you westerners call "1st World"?

Should schizophrenics be gassed?

OP if you have come to pol to voice your concerns I think you already know the answer.

I've got limited experience of schizophrenics, but what I have had has not been positive. Two friends, one who is now lost to society, another who is good one week, and a train wreck the next. I want to support him, and am happy to catch up. But only in public situations. Never at home, I just don't trust him, and never know what mood he'll be in until we meet up.

Man I don't know how you can handle living like this. Must be so draining, tiring, worrying.

Life is too precious. You need to value yours. No amount of PSA's imploring us to accept the mentally ill will cover the fact they can be incredibly dangerous. And if they do go off the meds and start freaking out violently, it never ends well for those in close proximity.

The house thing complicates matters otherwise it sounds like you would've left already. Whatever happens, all the best. I hope in five years (or five days) time bits of you don't end up in plastic bags strewn around the flat.

Slightly off-topic, but I have a story or you guys. My mate works in Netherlands in a company that makes commercials. Recently, they filmed a commercial for a cider. One of the main actors had a schizophrenic attack while they were filming it in Ukraine, Odessa. At the begining everything seemed normal - he was weird, but nothing extreme. One day, when they were almost done with filming he disappered - he came back after a few hours holding a big box. Whenever they tried to touch it he started to yelling and making scenes. They managed to calm him down a bit just enough to take him back to their 5 star hotel. The producer was left alone with him in one room, as he made a call back hom to ask the agency that hired him what the fuck was going on. He didn't finish dialing a number, because when he looked behind him, that schizo actor was already on the edge of the open window, screaming that he has to jump because the russians were going to get him. He would do it, but the producer managed to take him down. Then, he proceeded with the call again observing the actor closely and at one point the guy has started to play with some pills. The producer asked him
"What's that?" and the actor replied "Oh, it's the pill they make me to take, but I'm smarter than them."
"Maybe you should take them, you will feel better after that."
"NO"

They started to argue, but at one point the acto said
"You want me to take them? Allright, I'll do it."
He took the pill in his hand, raised his leg and shoved it right inside his asshole. Then, he looked straight into the producers eyes, squatted and shat on a beatiful rug of the 5-star hotel.

Fast forward: They managed to take him to the Ukrainian Asylum (which pretty much looks like the ones in the Silent Hill), they've beaten him into submission, gave him the a lot of 'medicine' just enough to calm him down for the rest of the trip. Man, it was fun to hear that, I can't remember I laughted so hard.

Well maybe op shouldnt have been faxing the dudes info to putin if he doesnt want to get killed

So what was in the box?

Mate, it's a terrible condition. My mother suffered with it; it's a life long condition that will requite medication. It can be treated, but, schizos rarely want to take their meds when they're "well". This makes relapses highly likely.

>brit beating an English Canadian from anywhere but Toronto in a fight
I am having a giggle atm m8, your country is descended the limp wristed pussies who didn't care to move to the Americas.

A bird's nest, a silver candlestick, a wire, some tennis balls, his clothes (I forgot to tell, he was naked) and other minor stuff.

Schizo's love booze, and that tends to set them off. My brother is a schizo, we once rented a place. His meds kept him in check for months at a time, but when he flipped out shit got bad, like hundreds of dollars in property damage and cops showing up kind of bad.
Do yourself a favor and get away. You can't do anything about it and you only get hurt trying to help.

My best friend started having nervous breakdowns at least once a week once his family life went to shit. Turned him schizo and I'd argue mildly autistic. Definitely shows how a bad father fucks up the kids.

Keep him well away from Happening threads

Schizophrenia has an 'autism' like quality to it because it excommunicates the patient from reality making them seem like they have no empathy. It's very different from autism though.

Just because he has nervous breakdowns doesn't make your friend "schizophrenic".

>diagnosed schizo
>my parents refuse to help me
>my family constantly gives me shit because my life visibly decline and/or stagnate
>become suicidal
>get prescribed more pills
>get more shit from family/parents
>symptoms getting stronger
>get more shit from everybody
>get addicted a lot of stuff to cope

I'm fucked desu

Wow same thing happened to me. I wish that we could get a little SJW action autism tards get all the sympathy.

I take kratom to help my crazy-brains what do you take? also, how many cigarettes a day do you smoke?

30 mg of abilify + 75 mg of seroquel + 200 mg of Wellbutrin /25 cigs a day minimum.

I feel like I've been hit with a hammer when I wake up.

How many times have you been fired? I've been fired 4 times in the year I had schizophrenia. I can barely watch TV and understand what's happening.

I lost count. Last time I got fired I went into crazy land and lost all remaining respect my family had for me. No empathy for old schizo.

I fucking wish I was eligeable for an assisted hero

don't you fucking hate being on anti-psychotics though?
when i was taking them all it does is sap half your energy and make your cock numb

No see, what you gotta do, is take 10 hits on acid and "break on thru to the other side".
Live in a world of incorporeal lightforms with hyperdimentional elves guiding your every move like a guardian angel.

Imagine looking at a human and seeing spinning vortices that spiral outwards like a fractal filled with the thoughtforms.

When you're gone you become a secret agent or a wizard. When you're here you are a crazy person.

I'm seriously going to nuke my brain when I'm 30 instead of dying. Only because at the beginning of my psychosis I thought I was jesus, so I think I could easily make it back there.

Better than hearing voices imo

Dude. I need a cocktail of several shit including 2 King size max taurine drinks just to get me started. Anti-psychos are fucking horrible and I went on and off them a lot of times. And I mean a lot of times. Shit happens when you have no support.

i'm gonna commit sudoku the moment i develop serious schizophrenia

definitely not worth dealing with

>he told a doctor that I am a peadophile puppet master programmer that he is working with under instruction of the united states of america in order to controll the currency

Man, how awesome if you really were, though...
