Keep doing what you're doing it seems you have a good grasp of life. I'm a 36 year old schizophrenic and your handing it way better than I did at your age. The people who say your possessed don't mind them there miss informed, I hear how it's the devil all the time, they are just uninformed. At your age I was in sth state hospital all the time so your doing good. Keep doing what you're doing. Watching your videos helps me more than you will ever know. It helps so much knowing there are more people out there that have the same thing going on. It keeps me going.
Its demons and a mental thing. You havr to get therapy but the root cause is the demon. Get the demon out and get therapy. Yes there is chemical inbalance that has to get balanced but the demon is causing it. Been trough it. U have to do both, science has been probed wrong many times. Go just once to a islamic raqi? He will read certain verses u will be suprised by your reaction.
I know that this is a selfish sentence to say, but I'm happy because your face shape has returned a little; you seem to have improved your eating habits, which is healthy.
Do you think a service dog could help? Especially when you have to go outside they can help comfort you and help with your anxiety. Could be worth a shot
The pajamas are cool 👌🏻 I really enjoy the purpose of this channel, which would be all about schizophrenia, but I was wondering if maybe you could make some videos about some of your personal interests? I guess things you enjoy doing and stuff like that? Anyways hope you have a happy New Year 🎈
Thank you for making this videos, my son (23 years old ) has this problem and by listening to you i can understand him better, since he does not communicate much with me
I am reading your comment Maria and this is exactly my story. My son is the same age like yours and also not communicating about his struggles. Thank you Jacob for helping me to understand what he is going through. Please keep posting.
@@paulinakuhi8172 Hi Paulina, its been 3 years since this message, my son is on treatment and doing better , I hope they find the right treatment for your son❤
Hey Jacob have u ever considered heart rate being related to dehydration? Volume depletion lowers your blood volume and in turn your heart has to pump faster to keep up oxygen perfusion to all the body.
Organization isn’t really related to laziness, it’s more to do with ability to stay focused. I have reeeeaaaalllyyy bad ADHD (no joke, I don’t just say I have it without true medical diagnosis) and I can’t keep my apartment clean to save my life, unless I’m on a hefty amount of narcotics
My husband has been in a schizophrenic episode for a year and a half now. He simply cannot accept/ understand his diagnosis. As someone with schizophrenia would you want a loved one to try everything they could to get you into a treatment program unwillingly? Will he hate me? I'm just so desperate at this point. 72 hour holds haven't done a lick of good.
I was wondering if you were still alive. I watched a few of your videos like 4-5 years ago. Was looking for a song and you were on the 3rd page. I was thinking about you like 2 weeks ago out of the blue, and BAM you show up again. Glad you're still hanging in there.. I'm going on my 9th year of this illness and I've gotten used to it. Accepted my situation and trying to still move forward. Till next time, bro.
thanks for your video! i love how you talk and your voice, and the things you say. I wish i could know you better! Hope you're doing okay these holidays :) Greetings from Spain!
hi ..all,, nice vid..its an inspirational .. ,, im depress .right now.due to My anxiety and i dont function at all. I see this young man ,who is a schizophrenic making videos,, verry inpiring , ive been watching your vidz a year or more . Merry Christmas
Seems to me you can form good habits ie brushing your teeth and feeding the cats everyday. Do you think you could set an alarm every say for 3 times a week to run a bath ? You could just lay in it and relax with a drop of lavender oil I think you would benefit from it. 😆
Honestly, I’m subscribed for a while now to your channel and I admire your honesty, not only related to the illness 😄 You look really healthy judging by ur appearance, and I’m so happy for that. I hope next year to see more of your videos >< happy new year for u and your cats (have 2 as well lol), wish you the best!
I think you have created your own life to where it’s comfortable and not allow anything that doesn’t make sense for you at a distance! I need to create my own comfort space and don’t take crap or believe what others tell me if it don’t serve me!
If it makes you feel better I'm basically as organized as you and I can't even take care of my cat properly, my mom is the only one who feeds him most of the time
Hello darling hope your well xx make sure you get your medication as my boyfriend had schizophrenia and he did not like taking it thinking he fine and wouldn’t talk about how he really felt xx god bless you Love and Light 👍💛⭐️🙏
I'm not sure if I've commented on any of your videos yet! But I am a newly diagnosed schizophrenic I'm 38 years old and I have pretty much known since I was about five or six maybe sometime in Elementary School when I got my first memorable auditory hallucinations. But now that I am diagnosed I'm trying to figure things out as far as how do I tell I'm in psychosis? I'm not sure if the pupils go small or big because I have caught my 9 year old hallucinating his pupils were huge! But I don't really hallucinate, but when I think I am in psychosis my pupils are very small! I would love to get some input to help me figure things out especially if I am dissociating instead of hallucinating, or just manic because I'm also bipolar 1, and very possibly BPD. At least that's what the psychologist said but he didn't put it in my diagnosis like he said he would!?
It seems you have organized speech. I could hear you clearly. The only thing I can relate to is being in a state of avolition, taking care of my hygeine was huge double-edge sword....trying to get there in the shower, but only can do it 2x a week. You'll get there bro...just hang in and roll with the punches. :)
Just a thought Jacob, have you ever thought about trying to Skype someone, I don't mean with the camera I mean in terms of speaking to someone through oral conversation, or does that make u feel uneasy, I just think its good to challenge the things that make you un easy it makes you stronger and prepared. Gradual steps would be the best bet for anyone just one step foward. Theres nothing wrong with feeling better being alone, but hope you can grow to feel more comfortable with others just so you don't miss out forever with friendships and interaction. You don't have to sacrifice all your time. I'm sociable i'm more ambriverted than extroverted sometimes introverted im just a blend between all 3 feel like i grasp them all well but feel more strongly towards ambriverted i'm more introverted but sociable if that makes sense, just think a balance serves every human well. Were all free to live our lives how we choose but you only have one life to really make meaningful connection. Either way im sure you will be happy with your life and hope you find a sustainable way to support yourself one day. But don't panic your still young :)
Thank you for this video. I have a friend who is struggling right now and I think this will really help her realize she is not alone with her struggles. She won't stay on her medication and I am trying to help her understand that the right medication will help her---she is currently on Seroquil and her doctor did prescribe her clonazapam, which is in the benzo family. I hope you are doing well and continue to do well and you need to STOP saying you re lazy!! You are NOT!! The amount of energy you spend dealing with what you have to go through and the medication side effects, be nice on yourself. :)
Thanks for another great video. I am a Schizophrenic and I am fairly neat and organized. I don't really enjoy keeping my room clean, but it's gotta get done sometimes. I understand your feelings about people making comments in the comments section saying Schizophrenia is demon possession. I get tired of seeing and hearing this kind of stuff too. I believe in God and I pray, but Schizophrenia is a mental illness and not demon possession. I hope people will stop making the comments about Schizophrenia being demon possession and stuff. Stay strong.☺️
Have u ever considered maybe the voices are Angels and demons etc? The world doesnt understand. I do take medicine cuz it helps seroquel and lamictal but so does knowing who the voices are for real cuz even ppl who are deaf "hear" things. Just give it a thought
dude i am more boring! HA! anyways i'm bipolar and on meds myself. i can relate to a lot of what you are saying. also schizophrenia runs on my fathers side as well. life ugh! life and my mental illness clash! a lot! lol take care.
At least you got some pajama's, they look nice on you. I had a rough week myself but I certainly don't blame you for getting stressed out at times, I just finished organizing my room the other day, I've been taking some time off from work to get stuff done around the house, it can be hard sometimes but as embaressing as it sounds I get through it by just having something good to eat, having a glass of wine, and just looking at what's in front of me, a shower can be a very therapeutic thing for me personally, especially if I give myself a facial or something, this helps keep the skin fresh and healthy too, but don't let that discourage you. I don't shower every five seconds, but I try to make it a habit to shower at least once every other day. This helps me improve my mood too.
Do anti psychotics make you exhausted? It looks like they do in all your videos....when I was first given them I was falling asleep standing up so I stopped even though i know I should take something to ease these symptoms
and a lot of people go by routine, it's part of how people survive. we love you. maybe you should go live so we can all communicate :) not sure how you feel about that, but i know i would love seeing you, and seeing what you have to say.
do you have a personality disorder? not trying to be offensive but I have schizophrenia and I feel as if I cant function properly unless I have some sort of personality to convey a mask for other peoples liking
Hi Rare Thank you for sharing your videos here. My daughter has schizophrenia and anxiety and panic attacks she avoids going outside and your videos are a great help.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Ya, I like routines too, and it helps me keep my cats on task and everything organized...to the best of my energy levels. :)
Nice vid. I agree w/ you that religion/God has only negative effects on mental and physical illness. It just bears lies and troubles. Hope you stay well. I'm on a high dose of benzodiazepines daily as perscibed by my psychiatrist, and it helps a lot. I can tell it helps cause when I don't take it I become very paranoid. That being said I'm not a doctor so I'm just commenting, not suggesting what meds you should use. Idk.
I greatly disagree. I'm a saved Christian and I can attest that Jesus Christ has made a huge difference in my life. Everyone needs religion and prayer. I'll pray for you too.
If I may be so bold----for those here who are schizophrenics, why would someone stop taking their meds? Is it because of the side effects? Are they worse than hearing voices all the time? I am trying to help a friend but I don't quite know how----she will take her meds, but then stop and then is dealing with withdraw as well as symptoms.
That's a very good question. I've never stopped taking my medication. MY schizophrenia is rather severe though so if I dont take my meds I hear absolute horror. I really really dont like hearing my voices. They are absolutely not my friend... The side effects can be rather severe though. You get muscle restlessness sometimes and it can be insanely uncomfortable. It's literally your whole body.
I am a Schizophrenic and I quit taking anti-psychotic meds due to side-effects. I have been off them for about 7 years and I am doing just fine. While anti-psychotic meds can help some people that have mental illness, they are not good for everyone.
@@leannecroteau i totally agree with you here i was off bmy medication for 6 months and felt fine it wasnt til i went to the pub then came home seen my reflection in the mirror i needed something to calm me down
I am a Christian (very dedicated to it) and also a Schizophrenic. I believed what people said that mental illness is either sin or demon possession for years. For years I rejected medical help because of that, until God in His goodness let me get so crazy that I couldn't ignore my symptoms anymore. I was totally nonfunctional with mania. I agreed to take medicine and almost all of my symptoms have gone away. I still believe in Christ, daily repent of my sins, and live for God. Thanks for your posts, they are super encouraging. Sorry for those who have told you you are possessed.
@princess bunnie I am not ignorant been through it, it are demons. Zero proof thats its a disease,why dont just once goes to a excorcist (one session) just to permanenltly shut down the demon sayers? He will be suprised ,but no just day its a disease it will get worse with time.. Why every schizoprenic see the same shadow like figures? Some pschygoloist are convinces after talking to many schizoprenics that its in fact demonic because "the voices" have too much own thoughts and choices. Just search google .. He will get nowere like this, it will get worse if you dont do anything
@princess bunnie No man every schiziprenic talks bout these shadow figures?Why does eveeyone see these same figures? Samw with sleep paralysis,everybody sees the same figure why? Why do they al have thr same symptoms if theybsee theses shadoe figures? You are one of those fools who really thinks there is no god? Like we came in excistsnce by chance ? Like you phone created itself with peefect screen and buttons and working procecor? Because we cant see things doesnt mean they arent there;) Like bacteria, 16 th century everybody laughed at the assumption of living organism on a humannbody becausw noone can see them , en then came the microscope voila!
