What If Its Real? Posted: 10-12-07 20:21pm


being diagnosed with schizophrenia ive been told that what i see and hear isnt real...but what if its all real? what if what i have is a power instead of an illness? i mean ive been through almost every antipsychotic known to man to no avail. i mean maybe all of us have some inherent ability that has been labled schizophrenia....just a thought

i have the same delusions, that we cant really trust anything to be "real". reality is whatever the person whos viewing it chooses to see, hear, touch, smell and think. the problem is for the most part "normal" people all live on the same plane of existence, automatically making the schizophrenic existence to be the psychotic one.. but this is unfortunatly a question that will never get answered, because no one knows just how far the human mind can go.

You'll know it's a sickness if it hits you as hard as it hit me.

I don't know a whole lot about this illness, but I do know the things that some people with this condition experience imaginary things just as we do real things. However, I do know that some people are gifted and that they do see things that others don't and those things are real as well: spiritual things that are invisible to most people, but nevertheless actually there to people who have been given this gift. I'm very skeptical about this, even though I believe in a spiritual word, and I know a person who actually does see things: I know she's not a liar. It is really hard to know where medicine stops and where faith and the supernatural begin.

I believe that if you "really" see supernatural things, then it's still in your head. Basically you believe so much in those things that you've made your brain conform to those ideas and it starts generating images and sensations.

There's no doubt people w/ schizophrenia et al actually see, hear, and experience these delusions and hallucinations so there is legitimacy to them. It's a disease, like cancer, or diabetes; not a visit from the spiritual realm.

Hi hun, You're questioning this because it's all part of your illness. It's most definately not real. unfortunately it's all these voices that seem incredibly real to you but it's not part of the real world. So if something scares you just keep telling yourself "this isn't real". I was diagnosed with a form of psychosis about 6 yrs ago. I don't have it anymore but i know how it is. I used to meditate and it really helped me. I used to do white light meditation. you could look it up on the net. It may help you. Take care hun, Harmony1 xoxo
