Does anyone on the shroomery have any mental illnesses such as schizophrenia? If so, what is it like?

I have psychotic depression, which means in addition to crushing depression, I hear voices and have paranoid delusions. Luckily, they have good medications for that, even if they make me a little spacey sometimes. Oh yes, and it's no fun unmedicated.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that - it must suck. Well at least pharmecuetical drugs are good for something. Did 'substance abuse' trigger the onset of your psychotic depression?

I honestly don't know. I don't think they helped it any, anyways. I just stick to weed, beer and the occasional xanax jag nowaday, just to be safe.

I've got, by medical definition: schizophrenia

But I'm not sure if i believe in it, i have all the symptoms but I'm not sure about calling it some sort of "disorder" even when some of the symptoms cause me trouble.

I just believe that: There is nothing wrong with me, i just don't fit in this kind of society. It all depends on what you point of reference is.

XaNaX+JaGeR=HapPiNeSs!!! (and a loooong nap)
I haven't been diagnosed, but i'm depressed all the time. I get meds on the street, and mix them to find out which ones make me happy :smile:
It's mostly benzo's, but if all i can get is pk's then enough of them will space me out enough to forget how i feel for the rest of the day. When im on benzo's tho the feeling lasts for 2-3 days. If all else fails i turn to alcohol, but when i start drinking i don't stop until it's ALL gone. Maybe i just have substance abuse issues...

I was on seroquel for a while for the same thing. I didn't know it at the time but it was my addiction to drugs that fed my addiction to depression. I still deal with it from time to time but for the most part I'm doing better. Its defiantly a shitty shitty thing to have to deal with.

I used to hear voices as well. Had reoccurring dreams that weren't scary but scared the living shit out of me. Then the voices in my dreams started filtering into my daily life, they would just repeat over and over. Then it got from just a voice to a person screaming inaudible things in my head. Thats when I got help.

One thing I didn't mention which you all might find interesting. The key factor in me leading a normal life was Psychedelics. My girlfriend and I did a lot of research into how European scientists are using MDMA and Psilocybin to treat depression & other mental disorders. I'd dose, and she'd be sober. Talking me thru my trip, forcing me to focus on the roots of my problem. It took a few sessions to get it right but it helped way more than the zombifying Seroquil.

sometimes i even consider the idea that schizophrenia is to some degree existent in most if not all people living in the industrialized business worlds.

To quote a mysterious man:

Quote:
Man is split. Schizophrenia is a normal condition of man--at least now. It may not have been so in the primitive world, but centuries of conditioning, civilization, culture and religion have made man a crowd--divided, split, contradictory.... But because this split is against his nature, deep down somewhere hidden the unity still survives. Because the soul of man is one, all the conditionings at the most destroy the periphery of the man. But the center remains untouched--thats how man continues to live. But his life has become a hell. The whole effort of Zen is how to drop this schizophrenia, how to drop this split personality, how to drop the divided mind of man, how to become undivided, integrated, centered, crystallized. The way you are, you cannot say that you are. You dont have a being. You are a marketplace--many voices. If you want to say 'yes', immediately the 'no' is there. You cannot even utter a simple word 'yes' with totality.... In this way happiness is not possible; unhappiness is a natural consequence of a split personality.




food for thought.

mental illnesses run deep on my moms side of the family. her mom spent the majority of her life in a mental ward. my mom takes depression pills and is...well, kindof crazy. my oldest brother was contemplating suicide in like middle school, but then he became christian and since then has had no problems. my other brother said that he has anxiety, he smokes weed and drinks a lot. i just found out recently that my little sister has or had bulimia and some anxiety issues.

i however, feel fine. my mom thinks i have depression and signed my up for some therapy classes but i never went. im just kindof a loner and always have been. i feel completely fine in life. i think that i was the one that didn't inherit any of the mental problems my siblings have.

the way i've always seen it...is...when related people have kids, the kids come out retarded. like if two cousins inbreed and have kids, the kids have some mental problems. with population growing, it's hard to tell who is related to who(since we are all related in some way) and how related to that person they are. then when people breed, that little bit of mental illness is inside of thier children but it's not as bad as if their parents were brother and sister, it's just...slight inbreeding.
