schizophrenia general

no. for the most part im a well adjusted guy who works hard and fucks bitches on the side

Yes. I am lonely as fuck except in my head. I work hard and don't get appreciated for it. I have anger issues. I am an alcoholic. I want to hang myself every single day. Medication is a joke.

Can you guys actually have conversations with the voices and they respond and shit? How sophisticated can they get?

>>34032243
I regularly communicate with them, be it via text, audio, visual, and any other sense. They respond in short answers but I keep the convo going

Got my diagnosis seven years ago. Finally I'm at a point where medication, therapy, time and contemplation, unfucked my head enough to be able to maybe get back to reintegrate into society and get a job, at least my therapist thinks I'm ready. Really looking forward to that, cause life got fucking boring. Still live in my head too much, and still hold whole conversations with thought voices that don't seem to be my own thoughts, but I'll manage.

There's only one voice I talk to, and he's pretty sophisticated.

Can you ask them anything and they respond coherently?

Yea, he has actively surfaced and took over my mind and body to ruin my life more than once.
Mostly he just talks to me.

What kind of questions do you mean

i was diagnosed back in 2013 after a couple of month-long periods of auditory hallucinations and some odd visual disturbances.

the medication didn't work and i'm convinced that i was misdiagnosed by a poor psychiatrist/psychologist team.

i still have some auditory hallucinations, but never anything 'commanding' me to do something so i'm not too worried about it. i often see people that aren't there but i've gotten used to that as well.

most of my issues deal with extreme paranoia about other's motivations/thoughts/feelings. i also think that people can sometimes hear everything i'm thinking.

being a severe alcoholic probably doesn't help matters.

>>34032465
Depends on the question.

The voices are basically me, so if I ask them something I don't know, they either shut up or get it wrong

>"What should I have for breakfast today?"
I can have a short conversation with him to make up [our] mind on what [we] want to eat.

>"What's your name?"
I never ask because I already know his name.

>"What's your favorite color?"
His is mine.

>"Can you explain Aristotle to me?"
He only knows what I know.

>>34032666
>I can have a short conversation with him to make up [our] mind on what [we] want to eat.
What exactly would he say?
>I never ask because I already know his name.
How do you know? Did he tell you?
>He only knows what I know.
What if you ask something you dont know the answer to?

>>34032666
You're a retarded asshole that's only pushing the misunderstanding of schizophrenia fuck off with you fear of schizophrenia and your confusion with separating it from DID a fake disorder to begin with

>>34032841
>What exactly would he say?
What did you eat yesterday? What would fill you up for the work day? Would it be better to just starve until dinner? Do you think the cute waitress at Waffle House will be there and recognize you? Do you think that guy Mike at the IHOP would be on shift at this hour?

>How do you know? Did he tell you?
Yes.

>What if you ask something you dont know the answer to?

Oh okay sorry. Thought hearing voices and seeing shit move in the shadows was a mental disability and leaning over on the schizo meter but I see we have big successful intelligent doctors here on /r9k/.
