What Do Schizophrenic People Believe? Posted: 06-08-07 03:56am
I am trying to research Schizophrenia to
see what a Schizophrenic person actually
witnesses in their Hallucinations. My
neighbor accross the street from me, walks
all over town talking and yelling, to thin
air. It looks to me as if he thinks he is
talking to a croud of 10 people, but he
can be inside an empty room and go on
forever. What does a Schizophrenic person
actually see, witness and experience other
then, 1 Hallucinations of voices that are
not there, 2, Hallucinations of seeing
things that are not there, 3
Hallucinations of smells that are not
there, 4 Hallucinations of touch that are
not there, 5 Hallucinations of tastes when
there is no food in the mouth, other then
the 5 sences being twisted into something
false to create a Hallucination effect,
what else does a Schizophrenic person
actually live through in that false world
that their illness creates? Why do they
act it all out? What delusional beliefs do
they hold other then "The TV is
broadcasting special messages to me", "The
radio is broadcasting my thoughts live to
the world", "The world is coming after me
to take me away, the world is ending!!"
Can a Schizophrenic person live a normal
life without ever being diagnosed or
realizing it? Can a Schizophrenic person
realize that they are different then
normal society and be Schizophrenic but
keep it secret all their live, then die of
old age and never ever be diagnosed or
noticed as a Schizophrenic by anyone other
then the Schizophrenic person themselves?
Can a Schizophrenic person be
Schizophrenic all their life but
successfully hide it from society and die
of old age as the rest of the world, and
keep it so secret that they are never
diagnosed with any mental illness? I have
heard a few rumors that some but not all
Schizophrenic people can pull that off.
If that is true, why can't all
Schizophrenics do that, and why can other
Schizophrenics do that?
Also I once heard of someone who wanted
FREE disablity money from the government
so they decided to fake having
hallucinations so that a psychiatrist can
diagnose them as Schizophrenic so that
they can get anti-psychotics to sell on
the street and also at the same time get
disability money from the government, is
that actually possible for a person to
fake out hearing voices, seeing
hallucinations, and act it out real enough
so that mental health officials classify
that person as mentally ill? Can a mental
health professional or a psychiatrist
detect who is really Schizophrenic and who
is faking it? Can they determine who is
Schizophrenic and who just faking it for
government disability money even if the
person who fakes it takes the perscribed
meds to pass blood tests? And finally do
all Schizophrenic people get paranoid?
The ones that do get paranoid, what other
paranoid beliefs do they hold besides,
"They are coming after me"? and "I must
do it, they told me to" Do Schizophrenic
people believe they are Jesus Christ like
that famous guy with the kool-aid?

i'm diagnosed schizotypal, when i try to
act sane, and schizphrenic when i want to
vent. i think i am schizophrenic when i'm
dreaming, or somewhat when severely
stressed or exhasted. otherwise i can hide
it, and yes, go through life undiagnosed,
on no meds. i'm 41. hold a semi-regular
consulting job, working a few weeks a
month and living on it, by myself, 'cause
i am too "sick" to keep a relationship - i
give up. it's the illness or the
relationship, and i pick the illness. i'ma
shaman. small difference between sz and
smanism - the dreamer must control the
dream, not the dream the dreamer.
I have posted tons of my delusions and
hallucinations, dream recall and shamanic
journeying, on other forums. whereever
they give me attention.
