iāve probably reblogged this before but itās so dang pretty who cares

This Is What Developing Acute Schizophrenia Feels Like
A year ago this winter, I began to not recognize myself.Ā
Sleep was the first thing to change. Progressively, over the course of about two weeks, I began struggling to drift off. As a 24-year-old man with a good supply of hash, this had never been a problem before. It was so odd. Seemingly out of the blue, Iād get into bed at night and not be able to shut off my brain. Thoughts would grow tendrils and loop onto other thoughts, tangling together like a big wall of ivy. Some nights, Iād pull the covers over my head, grab my face hard in my hands, and whisper, āShut. The. Fuck. Up.ā
Eventually I would be able to get to sleep, but Iād wake up feeling peculiar, like I had forgotten to do or tell someone something. Hunger wasnāt as aggressive as it usually was during this time, either. Normally I bolt downstairs to pour a heaping bowl of Frosted Flakes the second my eyes open. Instead, I woke each morning with a sick, creeping feeling in my gut. Still, I carried on as normal, thinking Iād just lay off the hash for a bit. That was probably it. I wasnāt panicked.Ā
I carried on my work at a local wine shop and tried to push what was happening during the night to the back of my mind. I got through the days OK, if slightly bleary-eyedābut looking back now I can see that I had started to struggle with simple conversations.Ā
If my boss told me to check a delivery, itād take me a few seconds to process what he was saying, like two or three people had said it at the same time and I couldnāt make out the clear instruction. Looking at morning delivery slips and trying to make sense of them in my head was like trying to make out a tree in the fogāpossible, but hard.

There is no one writing in the walls
When I brushed my teeth before bed last night the tile was warm under my bare feet, I could feel something knocking to find where I am
There is nothing under the tiles
Fingers will not slide through the grout and cut my achilles tendon so I can't get away
There is nothing under the tiles
There are no plastic bags in my room
There is nothing that makes the sound of plastic bags and smacking mouths moving around my room

Ten Things Not to Say to a Person with Schizophrenia
Iāve seen a few of these types of blog post around, for various mental health problems, so I thought Iād do one for schizophrenia. These are ten things Iāve heard from people that, although sometimes said to try and help, have been extremely unhelpful.
1. Thatās the one with multiple personalities, isnāt it?
Iāve heard this one twice I think, in hospital from other patients. Schizophrenia is NOT multiple personalities, despite the common myth. Multiple personalities is the disorder now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder. The myth stemmed from the translation of the word schizophrenia, which translates from Greek to mean āsplit mindā. This doesnāt mean that the mind is split into different personalities, it means that a mind is split from reality.
2. Have you ever been violent towards anyone because of your illness?
Iāve heard this one a few times and the answer is still no. Violence with schizophrenia is the exception rather than the rule, despite all the stories of schizophrenia and extreme violence in the news. Let me put it this way. About 1% of the population suffers with schizophrenia, which would mean that as thereās approximately 63 million people in the UK, there are around 630,000 sufferers. If we were all violent, or even if the majority of us were violent, do you not think that stories would be on the news more often? So donāt ask this question. Odds are, the answer is no.
3. Have you tried not listening to the voices?
This one is something that has been said in the nicest possible way but is still highly irritating to hear. If voices were as simple as just not listening to them, donāt you think I would have done it? Voices arenāt like people. You canāt walk away from voices, they follow you wherever you go. You can use music or television to try and drown them out but Iāve had voices that decided to get louder when I turned my music on. I do everything I can to try and drown out voices, but I canāt just not listen to them. Itās not that simple. By the way, this point only applies to those who actually hear voices, as not all people with schizophrenia hear voices.
4. Just take the meds, then youāll be OK.
This one makes me want to tear my hair out. Some people seem to think that treating schizophrenia is as black and white as the meds will automatically help all people with the illness and theyāll be OK forever providing they just take them. Wrong. The usual type of medication for schizophrenia is the antipsychotic. Iāve been on nine different antipsychotics so far, of which seven have been used in the longer term. Of those seven, three had unbearable side effects and didnāt work, two had bearable side effects but didnāt work, one seemed to work but had side effects that both myself and the doctors were concerned about and the seventh one, the one Iām currently on, Iām still in the early stages of taking. I donāt know yet whether itās going to work and although so far the side effects are bearable, Iām only on a low dose.
Medication with schizophrenia, as with many other mental illnesses, is trial and error. Overall, Iāve taken fourteen different psychotropic medications for various reasons, and so far, only four have helped. None of them ācuredā me, they just took away part of what I was going through. Schizophrenia is not as simple as just taking medication, and many people have actually been cured without using medication. The treatment for schizophrenia should be as unique as the person themselves.
5. Why did you come off medication?
This question is usually accompanied by a look that says, āAre you stupid?ā Like I said in the previous point, schizophrenia treatment is not as black and white as taking medication and being miraculously cured. The reason Iāve had for coming off medication was because of the side effects. Some side effects truly are unbearable and no person would want to suffer them. I wrote about this in more detailĀ here.
6. How can you believe something so stupid?
Iāve had this one a few times, once from a psychiatric nurse. Delusions are another common symptom of schizophrenia and to most people, the deluded belief may sound extremely farfetched. To you, it may be clear as day that the CIA is not tracking Joe Bloggs but to Joe, he is terrified that his every move is being watched by the CIA. Telling Joe that his belief is stupid is not going to help and it will just make him think that youāre not going to help him. Instead, just provide a place for Joe to talk about his beliefs if thatās what he wants. Donāt push him into talking about his beliefs though, as this can upset a person even more. Again, this point only applies to those who suffer with delusions as not all people with schizophrenia have delusions.
7. Why wonāt you talk about [insert symptom]?
This one has been said to me both in annoyance and in kindness. The answer is always going to be the same: āBecause I donāt want to.ā Iāve always hated talking about things the voices said to me. Once when I was in hospital, a nurse asked me what one of my voices thought of her. Immediately, the voice told me what he thought of her, something that I will never,Ā everĀ repeat. She could tell by my face that the voice had told me something, and she tried a few times to get me to tell her what heād said. She only let the issue go when I burst into tears and begged her not to make me tell her. I HATE talking about things the voices say. Sometimes I hear commands telling me to harm other people, things that make me feel ashamed to hear. I definitely donāt want to talk about stuff like this so please donāt make me. You WILL upset me.
8. You just need to get out more/get more exercise.
If I had a pound for every time Iād heard one of these, well, Iād have very heavy pockets. I KNOW that itās not good to sit in the house all day everyday and not go out. I KNOW that everyone needs exercise. Please stop telling me. Forcing me to leave the house when I feel anxious is only going to make me feel worse. Iāll get out when I feel ready to leave the house, not before. And as for exercise, itās not a cure-all. For some reason, anything more than a brisk walk provokes strong suicidal thoughts in me. I used to go to a gym a few times a week and every time I came out, Iād feel absolutely awful. I would usually self-harm as a result of the thoughts I had and a few times I made plans to end my life because of the thoughts. Iāve no idea why this happens to me, but itās something thatās out of my control. And donāt just tell me to take a brisk walk. Like I say, if I donāt feel up to doing something, forcing me to do it will make me feel worse. I do things when I feel ready to do them.
9. Canāt you see that youāre unwell?
Iāve had a few variables of this one, the most annoying being āBut youāre intelligent! Surely you can see that youāre not well!ā If I could have seen that I wasnāt well, I would have said so. Schizophrenia has a nasty habit of preventing a person from realising that theyāre unwell. Around 30 to 50% of people with schizophrenia fail to realise that they are unwell and trying to force them to see it will often upset or anger them. Donāt try and force a person to see that theyāre unwell, let them reach their own conclusions in their own time.
10. You canāt be schizophrenic, you look so normal!
Again, this one has a blanket response from me: āWhatās normal?ā You canāt always tell if a person has a mental illness just by looking at them. These sort of comments always had a negative impact on me as it invoked one of two feelings. One feeling I got was making me feel like I was wasting NHS resources because if I looked OK, then I must have been OK. The other feeling I got was making me believe that I wasnāt unwell. Like I said in the previous point, not everyone with schizophrenia realises theyāre unwell. I am one such person. Telling me I look normal when Iām unwell and not realising it is a surefire way of making me believe even more that Iām fine. So less of the, āYou look so normal!ā Itās not always a compliment!
So thatās ten things not to say to a person with schizophrenia. If you want to help, just let a person know that youāre there for them and that they can talk if they want. But never force a person to talk when they donāt want to. More ways to help people can be found at this blog postĀ here.

This is worth the minute it takes to read. Interesting and enlightening.
And please do not refer to someone with schizophrenia as a schizophrenic. Their illness does not define them.
And the Oscar for best āmy asthma, depression, anxiety, and chronic migraines arenāt āāthat badāā ā goes to me. For no one believing that any of these things are bad enough for me to even be able to get a doctors appointment or medsā¦
