Intrusive, atrocious thoughts are normal. The kind of thoughts that disgust you, that scare you, that make you think you’re a horrible person. Maybe it’s related to an ‘ism, or sex, or hurting people - you are not a bad person for any of these thoughts. Whether you have a psychotic disorder or OCD, or neither, you are not a horrible person.

And for my fellow schizospec people I shall add that you’re not a bad person for how your hallucinations present themselves. Personally, my auditory and internal hallucinations say, what can only be described as, the most heinous stuff. The kind that makes you panicky, physically sick, and wondering how bad of a person you must be listening to this stuff.

You’re not a bad person. At all. These thoughts and hallucinations happen. It’s not your fault. Remember that.

I was thinking about this yesterday..

As you walk down the street people look, they stare. If you're kind as you go through the registers at the shopping centre, people see you as that kind woman/man, girl/boy who is always nice to people. They like you, but it's nice to have that little bit of socialism. But I'm not quite sure if this is just me but as soon as people realise that I'm Schizophrenic or that I have multiple mental illnesses they began to change the way think of you. It's as if they feel sorry for you or they believe stupid stereotypes about people with Schizophrenia are "insane" or "crazy". But, before all of that they treat you just like another stranger or friend but then they can't handle it anymore so they begin to give up on you.

What is Schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia is when your reality isn’t the same as others. Not in an action or emotional sort of way because everyone is different in their own sort of way. But it means that you have Sensory Hallucinations that change your Reality into something else. Whether that is Scary or Happy-like, but it’s completely different to everyone else’s, including other schizophrenics.

For example a Sensory Hallucination is when you hear voices that aren’t there or who aren’t already speaking to you. You hear different types of voices whether that’s low or high, young or old they are different types. You may also hear other things such as Screams or other Noises, but this doesn’t always happen. Most of the time with Schizophrenia your sensory hallucination is usually Auditory, and that you would most commonly hear voices. Something else you need to be aware of when it comes to Sensory Hallucinations is that it doesn’t just affect what you see and hear but it can affect the things that you touch or even smell and taste. For instance, you could smell blood and maybe even taste something that isn’t the same of what you’re eating or drinking.

A Visual Hallucination is when you see something that doesn’t belong or that isn’t there and nobody else can see it either. For example, you might see a Shadow person following you or surrounding you. It could even manifest by people around you being a Shadow person. It could even make recognising people even harder if you can’t recognise them by voice. Another type of Visual Hallucination is when you Hallucinate other types of beings or monsters that can cause you to harm yourself or others around you through threats and attacks. But others like family or friends cannot see what you see. That makes it a Visual Hallucination.
