Schizophrenics: can you describe to me what its like to have it (see details)?

Question

What do you think about when you have this mental illness?
What makes you draw those crazy but interesting pictures?
How does it make you feel?
Do you hallucinate or hear voices?
Can you describe those voices or visuals?

I am studying this mental illness and any answers about this would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I have racing thoughts. I think about making everything perfect. I also think about how someone is out to get me, how everyone hates me, how I know answers regarding the world in which noone else knows... The crazy pics are a great representation of how jumbled up and crazy our minds feel inside. I feel overwhelmed, crazy, eccentric, doomed, intelligent, paranoid, obsessive, compulsive, and embarrassed. I see rats, roaches, a little girl, etc.-all of these do not exist.

Answer 2

You've asked a question that I got an "A" in my thesis when I was was in College.
Let me briefly just say that Psychosis and Schizophrenia though, they have similarities are completely different.
Schizophrenia onset usually occurs at a young age and then gradually develop es full blown.
If you catch it early and get medicine the results can be very rewarding to handle the illness.
You've probably read all the signs and got a clear picture.
I know of some people locally that have this illness and they are doing great right now with good jobs and take their medicine like they should. One person is completely off the meds and is doing great.
The recurrence of it can happen when your in a dormant stage.

It is very difficult to say who will prevail and who will not.

People who have been diagnosed as Sporing borderline is the very difficult to isolate, but easily understood and treated properly.
The best way to combat it is to identify it get help and build self esteem about the their self. gain control of their life and shoot for the stars.
This way those who have can lead productive lives and for the less fortunate, they become totally disabled with treatment and the recourse generally leaves them unable to function in Society and large crowds. They prefer to be alone, but yet pose no danger to themselves or others as long as they stay on their meds.
