    Man, when they'd put me in the ambulance, they'd be like "I think it's time for a little ride" and they'd smile devilishly, and I kept thinking they were driving me to some warehouse in the middle of nowhere to beat me to death. That was during a psychotic episode.

      Lmfaoooo Im schizophrenic and I find this hilarious. I had my same experience on an ambulance. She looked so happy for no reason while I was literally terrified. I thought they were driving me to a grave to bury me alive

    Listening to music is very relaxing and helps me ignore the voices, but i couldn't have music. So i constantly could only focus on the voices. Ive been in mental hospitals 4 times, all for schizophrenia and suicide. Everytime was horrible, the nurses were rude and when i would get scared by my visual hallucinations, they said to 'suck it up'. It was so rude. Thank you for sharing your experiences, its helpful to know im not alone.

      I was in a mental hospital twice once in 1988 and once in 1989 at ages 14 and 15. Have bipolar disorder but can relate to a person with Schizophrenia. First time was very disconcerting and I ended up bulking at it. I was threatened with a baker act but ended up getting discharged AMA. Second time I went in, I had completely crashed. I ended up sleeping for 3 days in 12 hour shifts of sleep with like 10 or 15 minutes of being awake between sleep. I believe they call it secondary hypersomnia. I was in for about a month and was placed on mellaril (thioridazone) 25mg. After discharge I was soon placed on Carbamazipine 100mg. I ended up running away from this around age 17. I use music myself love heavy metal, power metal, symphonic metal, black metal, metal, metal, metal and more metal, I am now 44 years old and slowing down to the point that I think what I ran from is now catching back up to me. :-( the meds I was on before made it where if I felt humiliation I would bottle up and not talk at all.

    my friend/ex roommate has schizophrenia. she doesn't get a lot of support from her family. a few weeks after i moved out, she went to the hospital, got kicked out of the house because of missed rent with no explanation, and ended up missing. apparently the police did find her, but i don't know what happened after that. her mother hasn't kept in contact with me. so thank you for these videos, they're helping to understand her a lot better.

    Hahaha....20, getting old.... dude, I'm 39, gonna be 40 this year. Now, that scares me. That also means, I've been dealing with this illness for 24 years now, that's most of my life... But, I understand the sentiment: When there a new first digit in you age, that takes some getting used to. Also, I like your look without a beard more. You have a beautiful jawline, it's a waste to hide that.

    Wow, first comment. Great idea with FB page, too bad I don't use it anymore, last time I used it was like 6-7 years ago I think. Maybe I did some updates since, but it was basically a waste of time, that's the reason I stopped using it.
    EDIT: I think they put people in silenced room to establish diagnosis easier. Someone who doesn't have schizophrenia would remain still, probably or will look bored or something.
    EDIT2: believe me, time passes slowly in every hospital for every kind of patient.
    Thanks for the video man! Keep up the good work :)
    EDIT3: I can tell you you're doing awesome, totally different person, happy, focused, talking without losing focus. I know this because I watched probably all of your videos, including old ones when you were hallucinating and losing thoughts and focus. You're definitely doing great.

    I have the same sickness as you, but I think I have an ok life. Have been once in a long term hospital, and I loved it. It was for over a year. My room was nice, and I could have a laptop computer. Played games on it. Then there was two living rooms, one with TV, and the other one for playing board games or cards. The hospital had table tennis, a gym for basket or other sport, billiards. And very friendly nurses that were dressed normally. This is in Norway. I had always something to do, and the people were awesome. I was in another place for two weeks, but there was nothing to do. So that sucked. I think I was lucky with the long term stay. Now i live in my own flat. Even though I have schizofrenia, I'm not like you. I like to socialize and meet new people.

      After several years of research, here is how I cured my brother's mental illness. Decades ago he was was given the labels of paranoid schizophrenic, bi polar, manic depressive and given handfuls of pills to take, that had horrific side effects. When I asked his psychiatrists if he could ever be cured, they all said no, that schizophrenia couldn't be cured only treated. Don't believe the psychiatrists that tell you there is no cure. Don't be intimidated by their title or college degrees. I have several graduate degrees and can tell you that they are just pieces of paper that mean absolutely nothing. We now have the internet and the collective knowledge of the world at our fingertips. I finally had enough of these morons that were too stupid to cure my brother, and asked God in the name of Jesus to show me what was causing my brother's problems, and here is what he showed me. I started searching for all things known to cause psychosis and also started learning how the brain operates. Then I started running my own blood tests on my brother through online labs such as request a test, to determine the imbalances in his brain and body. Here is what was causing his problems. 1. an elevated free copper level. 2. a low B12, which was causing an elevated methylmalonic acid level and this elevated methylmalonic acid was blocking enzymes that convert ammonia to urea in the urea cycle. An elevated ammonia causes psychosis, hallucinations, paranoia, depression, insomnia, and many other things. An elevated methylmalonic acid causes a host of problems too, and eventually eats the myelin sheaths off the nerves that contain the electrical signals. Once the B12 is brought back to normal, the myelin sheaths will reform within 2 years. As for the elevated free copper, it also causes psychosis, paranoia, hallucinations, and insomnia. The free copper also enters the brain, oxidizes neurotransmitters and short circuits the brain. Free or unbound copper is toxic, and a conductor of electricity, and the brain is an electrochemical organ, so it wreaks havoc on brain signals. Copper bound to ceruloplasmin protein is non toxic and actually used by the brain and body to properly function. Where did the free copper come from? He has a defective ATP7B gene, which doesn't properly bind copper. Anyway, get these 4 tests done. 1. direct measurement of free copper (test number 279071 at lab corp). This is not a serum copper test, so make sure you get the direct measurement of free copper. I use lab corp in Oklahoma, so the test number may be different in your state or country. Normal free copper level should be 0-10 mcg/dl. Anything over that and you have a problem. 2. Methylmalonic acid test, which will show the B12 at the tissue level. 3. serum B12. 4. Ammonia blood test.
      If your free copper is elevated only take zinc or ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TM)to lower it. Don't take the old copper chelating drug penacillimine, because it is too aggressive at mobilizing the copper and can flood the brain with even more copper, leaving a person in a vegetative state. If a doctor tries to use this copper chelating drug, just say no. Zinc or TM are much safer and more effective. TM can be obtained from a compounding pharmacist and you will need a doctor's prescription to get it. Zinc is slower at chelating the copper and may take 2 or 3 years, but it will get the copper level down. Zinc needs to be taken without food one hour before or 2 hours after meals. If you take zinc with food it binds it up and renders it inactive. Zinc pulls copper from the blood through intestinal cells and also blocks the absorption of copper. Also stop eating high copper foods, such as liver and shellfish. Get your free copper level down to 10 mcg/dl or lower and you will say bye bye to those voices in your head and paranoia. Also if your methylmalonic acid is high, this is due to a low B12 at the tissue level, so have your doctor give you B12 injections until the M acid drops back down. You may have an intrinsic factor protein defect in your stomach that won't allow you to absorb B12 if taken orally, so go with the shots, or take it sublingually, which means under the tongue. If the M acid is high, the ammonia will be high too, and there are drugs to lower ammonia. The ammonia and M acid will eventually go down on their own once the B12 problem is corrected. Once your B12 normalizes this will make you feel like a new person. According to my research, these 2 things, a high free copper and low B12 are causing most of the mental illness in the world. I have learned that this cure for schizophrenia has been around since the 1960's when Dr. Carl C, Pfeiffer discovered copper was causing schizophrenia and he wound up curing 20,000 schizophrenics over his lifetime. According to him, once he started curing patients and getting them off their meds, big pharma spent millions to block his cure from getting into medical schools. Big pharma doesn't want anything cured, because they make billions treating diseases. Another thing I forgot to mention, I have tested several brands and types of zinc and found the least upsetting to the stomach is "now foods" brand zinc picolinate. I'm not being paid to promote anything, but found this zinc was effective at lowering free copper and also easy on the stomach. You can buy this zinc online and find it by googling "now foods" brand zinc picolinate. Take 50 mg of zinc 3 times a day, one hour before or two hours after meals. Once your free copper is lowered and your schizophrenia cured, which may take a few years with zinc, you will need to still take at least 50 mg once a day for the rest of your life to prevent the copper from building back up and causing a relapse. You can take TM and be decoppered in 8 weeks so you might wanna get a prescription for this. Also what I did for my brother was left him on his medication while I was decoppering him and bringing his B12 up. Once I corrected what was causing his problems I started gradually weaning him off his medications and today he lives a normal life free of medication and cured of schizophrenia, bi polar and manic depressive. Anyway good luck, and please share this cure with others on the internet so we can get rid of this needless suffering. God Bless

    I was in mental hospital 2 years ago when I was 18. I was diagnosed with bordeline personality dissorder and anxiety. As you said, I also hated groups the most. Groups drove me crazy. I never really had panic attacks often but while I was in the group I had it almost every second day. I get easily hurt by other people behaviours and on the top of that I get really scared whenever someone raise their voice. I also had really bad experience with psychiatrist and nurses, almost everyone was like "you just pretending to get some attention", thats what most psychiatrist think about bordelines. Doctors was mean to me and didn´t care about my depression and panic attacks at all. I was just waiting for them to finally relase me from it. I was forced to be there for 3 months. I share the opinion that psychiatrics and employees should be more aware of what the really do and don´t judge their pacients just by their diagnosis. Most doctors just lack interest in their work and most of times don´t care about their patiens. In the end I learned to control my emotions a little bit but I still suffer by massive anxiety sometimes and also can´t build any stable relationship. Hospital was useful in one thing - they taught me than no one will save me, no one really cares about my problems so I need to solve it myslef. And I´m happy for this knowlege now because I feel like I can control my life better when I only depend on myslef.

    I work at a mental hospital and personally understand the struggle of having a mental illness. Just working at different hospitals I've seen how different the staff is and how positive staff can really make the stay easier on patients. All of the rules that are made as a safety precaution (yes people can harm themselves with a piece of string). Some hospitals are more relaxed about what you can have with you (like hygiene products) but all places won't let you have any kind of string, rope or shoelace :/. Glad you're feeling somewhat better though!🙌🏽

    I used to have a phobia of being locked away forever in a psych ward. Over the years as my illness gets worse, I realize I have a high probability of ending up there for a short stay. You don't get locked away forever. And I have read so many times it's a welcome escape from the real world and daily life when it gets to that point.

    I was in the hospital for 4 months after what can best be described as severe depression, I went to class like only 4 times the last year and luckily my friends were able to intervene when I was going to crash my car into a concrete wall. I did like the group therapies and I could have a tv in my room if I asked for, but I didn't. Tv in the communal room was fine for me, otherwise I would only seclude myself again and I tried actively to get better. What made me quit early (they wanted me to stay longer, but I thought I was ready, now I regret) was the strict regiment. 7:30 breakfast, too late = less time out in the weekend, skip therapy = don't go out for the day, only tv after 18:00. No wifi, I could have computer time like a couple houres a week at most. Always be proper dressed, pyjama's only allowed for sleeping. And although the fixed schedule really helped me to get back a sense of time, I hated it so much. The food was acceptable, but a little low on variation. At the end, I craved for internet, being able to choose what to eat and plan my day myself. Oh and they checked on you every night, I don't miss that, being able to sleep without someone walking in on you is the best thing ever.

    Yes being in groups in the circus as me and my doctor call it, is very unhelpful. Personally i've been in there more than 8 times if not 10 and they always had us in groups weather we felt, the way we felt was irrelevant. The whole being in a dead silent room was always terrible i had to sit there and listen to it all. Luckily for me there were more patient coming in and they could talk with me when we were ready........sadly it was a certain individual that had done things like push his grandma down stairs and a man who eventually spit on face, yeah terrible place.

      Although, they portray people with mental illnesses in a way to please the public eye or to get a rising out of people, there is still truth behind them. It's incredibly hard to explain, sort of like if you experienced them like we do you would know, but at the same time it's different for each and every single person.

      After several years of research, here is how I cured my brother's mental illness. Decades ago he was was given the labels of paranoid schizophrenic, bi polar, manic depressive and given handfuls of pills to take, that had horrific side effects. When I asked his psychiatrists if he could ever be cured, they all said no, that schizophrenia couldn't be cured only treated. Don't believe the psychiatrists that tell you there is no cure. Don't be intimidated by their title or college degrees. I have several graduate degrees and can tell you that they are just pieces of paper that mean absolutely nothing. We now have the internet and the collective knowledge of the world at our fingertips. I finally had enough of these morons that were too stupid to cure my brother, and asked God in the name of Jesus to show me what was causing my brother's problems, and here is what he showed me. I started searching for all things known to cause psychosis and also started learning how the brain operates. Then I started running my own blood tests on my brother through online labs such as request a test, to determine the imbalances in his brain and body. Here is what was causing his problems. 1. an elevated free copper level. 2. a low B12, which was causing an elevated methylmalonic acid level and this elevated methylmalonic acid was blocking enzymes that convert ammonia to urea in the urea cycle. An elevated ammonia causes psychosis, hallucinations, paranoia, depression, insomnia, and many other things. An elevated methylmalonic acid causes a host of problems too, and eventually eats the myelin sheaths off the nerves that contain the electrical signals. Once the B12 is brought back to normal, the myelin sheaths will reform within 2 years. As for the elevated free copper, it also causes psychosis, paranoia, hallucinations, and insomnia. The free copper also enters the brain, oxidizes neurotransmitters and short circuits the brain. Free or unbound copper is toxic, and a conductor of electricity, and the brain is an electrochemical organ, so it wreaks havoc on brain signals. Copper bound to ceruloplasmin protein is non toxic and actually used by the brain and body to properly function. Where did the free copper come from? He has a defective ATP7B gene, which doesn't properly bind copper. Anyway, get these 4 tests done. 1. direct measurement of free copper (test number 279071 at lab corp). This is not a serum copper test, so make sure you get the direct measurement of free copper. I use lab corp in Oklahoma, so the test number may be different in your state or country. Normal free copper level should be 0-10 mcg/dl. Anything over that and you have a problem. 2. Methylmalonic acid test, which will show the B12 at the tissue level. 3. serum B12. 4. Ammonia blood test.
      If your free copper is elevated only take zinc or ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TM)to lower it. Don't take the old copper chelating drug penacillimine, because it is too aggressive at mobilizing the copper and can flood the brain with even more copper, leaving a person in a vegetative state. If a doctor tries to use this copper chelating drug, just say no. Zinc or TM are much safer and more effective.

Zinc is slower at chelating the copper and may take 2 or 3 years, but it will get the copper level down. Zinc needs to be taken without food one hour before or 2 hours after meals. If you take zinc with food it binds it up and renders it inactive. Zinc pulls copper from the blood through intestinal cells and also blocks the absorption of copper. Also stop eating high copper foods, such as liver and shellfish. Get your free copper level down to 10 mcg/dl or lower and you will say bye bye to those voices in your head and paranoia. Also if your methylmalonic acid is high, this is due to a low B12 at the tissue level, so have your doctor give you B12 injections until the M acid drops back down. You may have an intrinsic factor protein defect in your stomach that won't allow you to absorb B12 if taken orally, so go with the shots, or take it sublingually, which means under the tongue. If the M acid is high, the ammonia will be high too, and there are drugs to lower ammonia. The ammonia and M acid will eventually go down on their own once the B12 problem is corrected. Once your B12 normalizes this will make you feel like a new person. According to my research, these 2 things, a high free copper and low B12 are causing most of the mental illness in the world. I have learned that this cure for schizophrenia has been around since the 1960's when Dr. Carl C, Pfeiffer discovered copper was causing schizophrenia and he wound up curing 20,000 schizophrenics over his lifetime. According to him, once he started curing patients and getting them off their meds, big pharma spent millions to block his cure from getting into medical schools. Big pharma doesn't want anything cured, because they make billions treating diseases. Another thing I forgot to mention, I have tested several brands and types of zinc and found the least upsetting to the stomach is "now foods" brand zinc picolinate. I'm not being paid to promote anything, but found this zinc was effective at lowering free copper and also easy on the stomach. You can buy this zinc online and find it by googling "now foods" brand zinc picolinate. Take 50 mg of zinc 3 times a day, one hour before or two hours after meals. Once your free copper is lowered and your schizophrenia cured, which may take a few years with zinc, you will need to still take at least 50 mg once a day for the rest of your life to prevent the copper from building back up and causing a relapse. You can take TM and be decoppered in 8 weeks so you might wanna get a prescription for this. Also what I did for my brother was left him on his medication while I was decoppering him and bringing his B12 up. Once I corrected what was causing his problems I started gradually weaning him off his medications and today he lives a normal life free of medication and cured of schizophrenia, bi polar and manic depressive. Anyway good luck, and please share this cure with others on the internet so we can get rid of this needless suffering. God Bless

    It felt like being in prison for me. They took the curtain and all the equipment out of the room since I heard voices telling me to kill myself in the ER. They gave me scrubs that were too big for me to wear. There’s nothing in your room which sucks. I made some good friends though while I was there who I talk to now if I have a psychotic episode.

      omg you watch that show too? I love the comics and the t.v. show. I pretty much love anything marvel mutants. I had a couple of visual and auditory hallucinations over the course of my teenage life (around 4) and I've had a lot of delusions too. It wasn't schizophrenia, probably stress-induced psychosis from my bad depression episodes. Or at least I hope it wasn't. I started searching up about schizophrenia at 13 from curiosity because I wanted to go into neuroscience and psychology. And then I got diagnosed with depression and saw stuff a couple of times which kinda freaked me out.

      Holy shit as a fellow acid user I feel you. Even on 1 tab something horrible can often happen, like when I was with a friend but I actually thought it was someone wearing a mask of my friend to try and kill me.
      Or when I had 2 tabs and had some talking monkey follow me everywhere, knowing it was there even when I couldn't see it.
