This happens in your most private and vulnerable moments. Moments, for example, like when you're in the bathroom. Undressed. Vulnerable. They make comments about your body. Disgusting remarks. Vile insults. It's enough to make one take measures to not expose themself to this form of, lets face it, sexual torment.
Those who experience these brands of hallucinations will often have thoughts and behaviors exhibited by people who have been violated by real life human garbage. They feel dirty. They feel as though they can never get themselves clean no matter how they try to. Here is a sad fact as if that wasn't bad enough.

For sufferers of this form of psychological attack from within, it's not hard to imagine a need for therapy. Seeking out therapy may not seem justified by the victims due to the assault occurring internally. It is, though. It most certainly is warranted. Those enduring this abuse are victims. Victims of their sexually abusive psychotic mind. The seriousness in which it is addressed should reflect as much.]]>

I submit that this test can rightfully be applied to psychotic hallucinations. When a schizo-spec individual is in a severe enough episode, they are unable to differentiate whether the hallucinated entities are sentient or imaginary. They must therefore be said to pass the Turing test.

This raises some very alarming questions. Is the schizo-spec brain generating sentient beings for the patient to interact with during severe episodes. Certain behaviors such as telling the schizo to not take their meds would suggest they are fighting for survival.
These thoughts have been on my mind for quite a while since the voices I hear interact with me in the same way a sentient being would.

It's certainly interesting to ponder.]]>

In fact, belief that you're crazy can actually aid in your recovery from your episode. It can reduce stress and increase your calmness. A calm state of mind is often all that is needed to think clearly and snap you out of an episode. It's highly effective.

Indeed, there is no need to be afraid my beautiful psychotic friend. You're just a crazy person.]]>

The first thing you notice is the captivity. You've broken no laws, yet you're incarcerated. There is little to nothing to do to pass the time. There is nothing in the way to treat what is wrong with you. The chairs are uncomfortable. The bedrooms are locked for the majority of the day. It's as if the facility is designed to make you miserable.

The staff can be downright abusive. They behave more like prison guards than medical personnel. They act like you're inconveniencing them by making simple requests such as asking for water. The staff also take no action towards patients that are disturbing you. "There isn't much i can do about it" they will say. The patients can be hell and nothing can be done that won't prolong your stay.

People that have been taken from the comfort of their home and dragged to these psych wards end up having nightmares about it for the rest of their lives just as one with PTSD would. The experience does little more than teach people to mask their symptoms at all costs in order to avoid these living nightmares.

They are not hospitals. They are prisons.]]>

First of all, it's rare to slip deep into an episode in the blink of an eye. It often starts small and begins to slowly chip away at the foundations of your reality little by little.
You may be able to ignore a singular voice. It is nearly impossible to block out sentient-sounding voices eroding away at the walls of your reality for what could be days or even weeks. Before long, you're left wondering which version of reality being presented to you is the one you should focus on as being real.

People may try to tell you that the voices aren't real, but the voices tell you that the people aren't real. In extreme cases, the voices have more access to your mind than people do such that it makes it easier to side with the voices.

"You know the voices aren't real, right"? No, actually I don't.]]>

Your worldview has been slightly warped from the way you've always held it tight. It begins slipping from you gradually. This is exactly what dissociation is. A reality disconnect. So much so that your brain grasps at straws to explain the phenomenon. This is the shaky foundation wacky delusions may stem from. Rationality needn't apply.

With the aid of modern entertainment and perhaps an overactive imagination, it's far from difficult for one to conclude that their reality is being simulated somehow from only a mere touch of dissociation. There is seldom a logic filter to weed it out.

With luck, the dissociation is short lived and one can return to the boring old universe that we all occupy. However, lacking such luck, it has been known to last for hours and even days.

While this symptom is left to fester, the delusional explanations are doing a number on your mind. Providing the opportunity to dive ever deeper down the schiz rabbit hole. Not fun.

How harmful could this be? The sky is the limit. Picture a delusion where your dog is not real and requires no care. Terrifying.  One can only hope help arrives before disastrous damage is caused.

Dissociation should not be thought of as a minor symptom. It's a gateway symptom to madness. The marijuana of psych issues.]]>

Well, I suppose it's possible. Malingering wouldn't be a medical term if it didn't happen. In most instances, this is highly unlikely to be what is occurring. These "fakers" don't take the tone of one giving a confession rooted in guilt. The tone they do take is a persuasive one. The self-proclaimed faker is trying to convince their support buddies of what they wish was true. More importantly, and primarily, the motive is self deception. Why?

The simplest answer is that it is easier to claim to be a liar than it is to have a highly stigmatized condition. The complex answer goes deeper. When a psychotic patient is in a stable state of mind, they look back on their episodes through "stable glasses". They genuinely believe that they could easily have thought their way out of their last crazy mind state if they only tried. Indeed, while wearing "stable glasses", they firmly believe defeating psychosis can simply be accomplished with pure will power if an instance were to occur once more in the future.

A lucky few manage to never get the opportunity to put their imposter claims to the test. Their symptoms never strike them hard again.

The majority? They slip into a psychotic mindset and show to all who observe that they weren't con artists at all. They instead demonstrate that there is just no using logic to snuff out a major breakdown. A warped ability to think clearly will prevent use of will power long before you realize reality checking techniques are even needed. They can't save you. Not when the organ needed for rational thought is the one malfunctioning.

All too often, through sadness and hardship, the schizophrenic is shown to be the furthest thing from a fraud. They...unfortunately...were perfectly honest.]]>

I think doctors get it backwards. They believe it's the psychotic symptoms such as delusional thought which is causing the anxiety and try then to focus on prescribing antipsychotics in an effort to prevent the anxiety's "root cause". A great many patients, however, will tell you that the causality is very much the other way around.

You can wake up with a severe anxiety attack with psychotic thoughts being the furthest thing from your mind. They won't keep their distance for long. Anxiety has the unfortunate ability to prevent you from utilizing the reality checking techniques that veteran schizophrenics have learned to implement over the years which keep psychosis at bay. The anxiety effectively causes the psychosis.

I submit that psychiatrists should put a much heavier emphasis on treating anxiety as the main problem facing the psychotic patient. Prescribe your antipsychotics but make sure to give the patient whatever medication they claim helps to keep their anxiety minimized the best. It is, for many, the primary symptom preventing the living of a happy life. Everyone has a basic right to happiness.]]>

When a patient can not remain calm, they lose their ability to perform reality checking technique. A patient that could otherwise snuff out their crazy thought process will instead begin to spiral downward into a delusional state of mind.

Panic can trigger hallucinations as well. A day full of panic attacks can easily result in a patient hearing voices even after being asymptomatic in this regard for long periods. It's rare that any doctor will try to treat anxiety as the root cause. They will undoubtedly prescribe the patient antipsychotics.

Looking at panic and anxiety as the root cause can have the potential for better patient outcomes. Patients are often already aware of this. If doctors would only listen to patients about how their thought process worked, they would succeed in ridding them of some rather nasty psychotic symptoms if the intervention was targeting the root cause.]]>

Schizophrenics are constantly making loose connections which force them to conclude that something suspicious is afoot. Over time, they may learn to turn off the portion of their brains which make these associations. However, no level of discipline allows for the writing off of the proverbial double lightning strike.

Let's say that, in a moment of brief instability, that a nearby tv perfectly syncs up with the schizo's thoughts. Faster than any reality checking can occur, a passing car radio proceeds to do exactly the same. Incontrovertible proof of thought broadcasting.

In the face of such strong empirical data, many a schizo could understandably spend the remainder of the day in deep thought as to what this signifies. At worst, it could send them spiraling back into the delusional state which they fought so hard to escape from.

A set of coincidences is entertaining to the average person. To those caught up in the endless battle with psychosis, it amounts to their foe unleashing a WMD. There are no winners]]>

This type of proof I speak of is air tight beyond all reasonable doubt. This would hold as proof in the schizo court of law. It often takes the form of an astronomical coincidence. It's if you won too unfortunate lotteries or were struck by lightning twice.

You can't write it off as coincidence. To do so would feel as though you were gaslighting yourself. The feeling of doing so while people in your life agree for reasons you can't fathom puts a beyond-uncomfortable pit in your stomach. It's psych torture. There is no therapy that can contend with your irrefutable proof. The best you can hope for is to allow so much time to pass such that the proof isn't thought about anymore.

One would think that a wacky notion conjured from nothing would be the most disorienting. In truth, it's the delusions that you have proof for in your mind.]]>
