Thank you. One can fell the jitters you had and still how much you are trying to be confident.I really Really appreciate it.Also I had this thing said to me by a guy once (given i was in the middle of an episode) ,he said if you just dont focus on the inside voices no matter how tempting it is to prove them wrong and give zero emotional value (means be desperate enough (not strong enough because the temptations of fear no matter how alarming to you are in the end are just thoughts like did he have shrimps for dinner no matter the rarity of the event you'd be compelled to focus on the negative of the scenario and youre never strong enough to focus completely on the positive so you dont focus at all and this happens when youre experinced like years later but if you just try and to recognize this before hand then there will be a time your fear will leave you and youll look at the alarming thought as juat that like did he have shrimps for dinner because its always the "you never know " factor reeling you down. ) to look just look at reality youll start feeling better after exactly 2 to 3 minutes .Youll first feel "nooooo i let it paas what if it would have been trueeee"(mind you, "feel" not "think" because you shouldn't even focus enough to think that) and this helplessness is only instantaneous because after that youll feel a lot better.One can also started doing the opposite of ones normal reaction to the voices. Like if you hear "do this and that will happen" instead of not doing it ,if you do it it will confuse your brain and youll regain your lost control.I know I did.

I've been a Christian since 2009 and I thought I was possessed by a demon, this is why I never searched psychological help before last year. I have tried everything I could under the sun, like throwing away bags of stuff, numerous 40-day fastings, I have other people fast with me, I had 3 failed deliverances, people considered me really stiff because I was avoiding "sinning as much as I could', repented and I never got any relief from my symptoms. I thought I had blaspheme against the holy spirit (because that is what the voices said) and could never find peace until I accepted I had schizoaffective disorder. I felt peace inside for the first time. These demons beliefs did more harm than good to me. On the other hand, believing in a loving God that is what prevented me from committing suicide. I'm on a break from religious stuff right now and most of my religious condemning voices and delusions are gone. I've never felt that good in my life before :)

In my humble opinion one of the biggest dangers with religion is assigning the responsibility for relieving your suffering to others. The can also be true with drugs. I do believe you should do what is best for you. If you find religion helps, then you should be religious. If you should find that drugs hekp, you should use them. But I would also suggest that you should also look within yourself to find peace.

@@Kykylandfarming Showing loving kindness to everyone, including yourself, is the path to true happiness. The re are those that may help you with dealing with demons, and that is good. There is also medicine that may be of benefit, and that is also good. Help may be found in many places. What troubles you is within you, just as the solution to what troubles you is within you. It is up to you to determine what is best for dealing with what troubles you. It is important to recognize that help is available. I cannot judge what is best for you, just like you cannot judge what is best for me. The same is true of others, such as priests or physicians. Recognize that there is peace to be found within yourself. Religion or science are simply tools to enable you to relieve your own suffering, and you can do it if you choose to do so. I highly recommend The Serentiy Prayer. Do not let the name fool you. There is a philosophy rooted in it that will bring peace. It may seem very simple, but that is only because it is very simple. Do not confuse simple with easy. If you are able to master the philosophy of The Serenity Prayer, you will find happiness. It is just another tool, but a tool I find very useful.

I grew up with a mother who was on the schizophrenic spectrum. She experienced hallucinations (mostly auditory, from what I could tell), paranoia, delusions, etc. with what I considered to be severe depression, and what I now understand to be anosognosia, but she was never diagnosed or treated. One day, when I was about 16 years old, her sister and her daughter (my aunt and cousin) came over for a visit. We were sitting in the kitchen chatting, when out of the blue, my aunt suddenly gets up and rushes over to my mom. She grabbed her in a bear hug and yelled to the lord to "exorcise this demon from my sister". Oddly enough, this did not happen. After she did this, the situation devolved as one would expect. As an angst-ridden teenager trying to find his place in the family, let alone the world, this made for a wonderful experience, that I cherish to this day... To anyone who is considering doing this to their loved-one, please don't.

To give a person who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia the belief they are persecuted by qn evil force is completely irresponsible and perhaps harmful to that person.

Well that's your problem... you chased after pastors and men, while you should have been at home, with a King James Bible, finding and establishing a personal relationship with our creator. Jesus doesn't ask you to go to some priest to find him, he doesn't demand you go to a church or you're lost... in fact he said the church was the people, not a building... Many 501c churches will not give you the Gospel of Christ, they will only fleece you. The truth of salvation and freedom from demonic oppression is very, VERY simple. So simple a child can understand... WHY!? Because God is not willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should come to him! ALL. So he kept it as simple as could be and HE paid the price for us. All he requires of us, is faith in him. The holy ghost will largely handle the rest. That's not to say a Christian life is an easy one, it's a life of struggling against the flesh constantly. But we are sealed by the holy spirit of promise and reserved unto the day of judgement! When we come to him, he says he will IN NO WAYS cast us out! So turn to him, not man, not a preacher, turn to JESUS. Speak to him. He will answer!

Religion is man made traditions. Christ came to bring the truth to man, salvation. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom yes, it is true, but we are not given the spirit of fear once we understand. We are sealed with the holy spirit of promise and it is a great joy, and brings peace of mind. Now... on the other hand, every single cult, every single false denom, uses a constant state of guilt in order to bleed its congregation DRY through tithing and other methods. Most religions DO use fear, to keep you in your seat, reaching for your wallet. The bible calls that FILTHY LUCRE. Many "pastors" are guilty of it. Hillsong for example... Copeland and all of his pals. Satan knows if he creates shills he can pull in some souls and deter others from seeking Jesus, and i'm afraid it works very, very well. If someone is completely given over to fear, they are not trusting in the Blood of Christ for remission of their sins, they are not accepting that they have a Lord and savior. This is one of the many dangers of religion, and not knowing Christ but sadly this is a time of great deception. As the Bible clearly said it would be, thousands of years ago. There are over 300 prophecies from the time of Jesus that have come to pass, not one has been false. NOT ONE. Research this.

Almost perfectly

I have schizoaffective disorder and one of my symptoms is religious delusions. It's typically in the form of "I'm receiving revelations from movies and tv shows about religious truths" or "A stranger interacted with me in a weird but nice way that's God speaking through them". With proper medication and following my treatment plan I can see these delusions for what they are and not indulge in them. I'm also religious, but my particular faith has explicit theology that more or less contradicts these delusions so it helps. For instance, my faith believes that God is very encouraging of our free will as people so speaking through a person, (other than relaying messages to a prophet or the like), wouldn't be something God would do. Similarly, revelations have to meet certain spiritual criteria to be genuine in our faith so that works too. At the end of the day however, medication and following up on treatment is the only course of action likely to yield results. If a loved one is dealing with this don't be crestfallen if your persuasions to reason are ignored. Talking someone out of a delusion is just not likely to work, but recovery is a possibility. Religion can be a source of support and comfort, but a secular life can also provide the same supports and comforts. If people would rather be soothed or helped in a non-religious way there is plenty of therapeutic resources and techniques to achieve that. I will however, stress that medication shouldn't be dismissed because in a lot of ways we're at the mercy of our neurochemistry and there just isn't a holistic wand for that.

@@JCV-kd1sy when people say that its typically figurative like they're actually saying stuff like "That was spiritually inspiring" or "That was wise" "That was soothing" Most people when they say God speaks to them in everyday situations they aren't claiming that in a prophetic sense as I experience during certain episodes that I've had to recover from. Given more therapy and medication it can be comforting, but the intensity and significance as well as the existential meaning of these experiences aren't grandiose or expansive with normal people. Basically, you can say something spiritually profound, but it doesn't mean you receive visions about mankind's eschatology. People can pray and communicate with God but he doesn't hijack their speech was my point. To my more delusional moments it would be God literally speaking as if that person were a mouthpiece. I guess I wasn't clear on that point. That's what makes it delusional.

I was born with a physical disability that now has me in wheelchair, so the "wrong with me" is very visible. I don't have people telling me I'm possessed like some people with mental illnesses have been told, but I have had people tell me to "pray" and I will be healed.

Involuntarily manslaughter can be completely unintentional, and a consequence of trying to help someone. Perhaps the person shouldn't be going to jail because, well, ' i didnt mean it, sry' ? Point is, its great if you're wanting to help such people, but people have to realize when it's such harm done and a bit too often and out of stupidity - they have think longer before choosing to help, because it this harms someone, you have to take responsibility for your actions. The good intentions are great but they makes this only very mildly better. still bad though. You can't give out such advice so easily without understanding the potential power of them, for better or worse. If you make just as many people much worse, then you are in total, making it worse, not better. This is up to the patients doc or family to decide what methods to try, not random people on youtube who have common delusions and believe in exorcism, because the fact they even believe it, to me signal that the person has some mental issues probably. (90% of the, i'd gess). P.S this isn't directed at you personally, so sorry if this reads insulting :P I know you are probably just trying to understand why would they do it, even if you yourself wouldnt do it.

Kenneth, It depends on in brief, all mental illness, that we are discussing, the medical diagnosis can have a very clinical overview. How do they not know that that person went through something horrific like a car accident or brutal attack, prior or they thought something that was strange to them. They usually don’t know the patient in some cases and seem poorly equipped to evaluate the person depending on the problem. They are very reluctant to change their ideas even when they are presented with facts and cause more problems with patients using medication that can cause serious side effects and don’t care. All I can say it is purely totalitarianism and their bigots. At least with the Church and I am not saying everyone is perfect, they are trying to spread a Loving, caring, understanding, honest, happy, friendship, kindness message. I don’t see that with the medical profession they are very secretive, usually busy, unstaffed, unkind, and don’t listen. Can I say more

Thank you so much for making this video. I am going to share it with families who I've had issues with on this topic.

​​ Steve Vest I feel like you. I really hate these people who offer such closeminded view on the illness and what to do. I have nothing against religious people, but what irks me is the extreme level of assurance these people have (in scenarios like this one, about someone with paranoid schizophrenia) when suggesting exorcism. On the other hand I feel bad for hating them, because, it kinda is well meaning and not intended to harm at all, like you said, that's probably why hating them induces feeling of guilt. However, i suppose you agree, that there's a clear line after which the wellmeaning intent goes out of the window because it's clearly outweighed the actions and direct harm caused from them. "don't listen to the doctors, they're all shams and poison you" and telling PARANOID(!) schizophrenic that they're posessed is just .. absolute evil. It's like telling suicidal person he shouldn't listen to the friends comforting him, and suicide is what he should do. After this point, why the intent is of ANY relevance here?(besides patting yourself on the back) if your wellmeaning intent but dangerous actions resulted a person to be killed involuntarily, the intent isn't any excuse or a way to (perhaps subconsciously) justify your actions and then claim you dont deserve punishment at all. Also such people would get insulted that the victim in such scenario DARED to seek punishment and *gasp* disregard your godlike well-meaning and do-good intent. "(What a scum to not take your DEADLY intent into account and even think you're dangerous to others/society . Because not only you feel no guilt, you feel you're not bad person because you wanted do good, you feel they(society/law) are all wrong and you're (and your actions) justified. Makes one think, - what other evil and dangerous, probably illegal things you see as justified to do to someone or make someone do, - , all because, well, 'you wanted to help' and 'meaned well'. On top of all this - your extreme assurance of how completely right you are, even AFTER the horrible consequences of your acts just proves that, - even after your actions result in tragedy or suffering, you won't stop and will continue harming others. Since your delusion that you're not doing anything wrong at all and a good person and doing 'the right thing' - might as wellmakes you try and do more of such "good" things to people as much as you can if you want to heaven :-). Why should you stop helping someone, right? even though its hurting someone.. -this is the very religious schizophrenics behaviour. Btw the 'you' is targeted at you personally, just in case :D If such schizo-ligious people make me bleed worse and worse with their 'helping' methods, am i the asshole if i push these people as further away from me as possible and tell them to stay the fuck away? P.S Of course not all religious schizophrenic are like the ones the video mentioned, these are very 'extreme' ones and small minority.

I have an amazing story. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith. So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana". I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly… I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling. He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car. A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

Thank you for being brave and sharing your experience with schizophrenia with us. I deal with vets who have mental illness and they are great people. We need to emphasize the fact that there are decent hard working people out there with this condition, and they need love and encouragement, not judgment.

Thank you so much for these posts. I have a cousin with this disorder and your explanations are so understandable by non-experts like me that I can understand what you're saying. Your sincerity and clarity are more appreciated than you can know!!

So I’ve been diagnosed with mental illness, gone through what you would call psychosis in the medical term and scientific term and was experiencing extreme demonic torment in my life and presents from within inside my house. A person came over to pray with me not because I had a demon, not because I was possessed, but just to pray with me in the troubling time that I was having. I never thought once that I had demons I never even entertain that idea but within 20 seconds 30 seconds tops of this guy praying for me I completely manifested and was rolling around on the floor give or take for 3 to 4 hours talking in different languages, etc. I’ve noticed that I have been diagnosed by psychiatrist at probably the lowest points of my life as having mental illness. They never once have diagnosed me during a normal period of life. I do believe there’s value in the medical field, but I can see just by the language that you use you absolutely give no value to the spiritual part of any type of affliction and only view diagnosis from a scientific and medical basis. I believe there’s value in both and leaning only one way, or the other gives a great disservice to humanity as a whole.

its very important for people living with schizophrenia, and those who care about them, to try to separate out their religious and spiritual beliefs from the illness itself, and not try to find a religious cause, or cure, but to treat it at face value. schizophrenics have enough trouble sorting out reality, adding religious ideas that are not patently obvious ( like grounding exercises or meditation) can make the struggle worse, as they may not be able to fit themselves into a particular religious box. and, if they do, they may be ignoring part of who they are to try to conform to a loved ones desires for them, always a bad idea. let them figure it out on their own, and provide support for the process, but dont push an agenda.

I have experience with exorcists. I can't speak for schizophrenia, but I had a very strong compulsion to throw myself out of high-rises, or any dangerously high place, which was fixed on the advice of the official Catholic exorcist for my area. I thought it might be spiritual/demonic since I was not actually suicidal or depressed in the least. He told me that I was not possessed but the compulsion might be spiritual in origin, so he advised me to get one of his assistant priests to pray on me with his hands. I went to see the priest, explained everything, he prayed on me with his hands and that was that. And it's never come back. What a relief, as I had been hounded by this problem for a few years. He was a good guy. RIP Fr Digby Samuels.

...and to add to that. Even if schizophrenia is physical, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a spiritual cause. Since a real exorcism takes hardly any time and is actually a fairly low-key affair, just do it to cross it off the list of possible solutions. There's really no reason to not do it. And Catholic priests don't ask for money so it's for free. Just go with a family member in case the priest is dodgy (40% of priests have affairs so that's a lot of priests without integrity).

My wife actually invited a couple of her religious cohorts into our home to walk room to room praying/ exercising demons from our home.

Let me ask you a sincere question: when your son is experiencing an episode, do you ever hear/see what would be reasonably classified as "paranormal activity"? Things like: lights flickering, tapping/knocking on the walls/floor, objects breaking or falling off of the walls/shelves, electronics malfunctioning, etc.? I am convinced that severe mental illness is the result of demonic activity, and I would venture to guess that the evidence is there if you are willing to see it. I have seen so many instances where paranormal events follow these sorts of individuals, as well as people being able to stop the episodes in the name of Jesus; and seeing people delivered from these sorts of issues completely when they give their life to Jesus, or seek out a deliverance ministry.

I have no way of knowing if some schitzophrenics are actually delusional, but it would be extremely arrogantly foolish for people to assume that they know about everything that exists and everything that doesn't exist, like non-human beings with abilities that people don't understand. After I started doing things to expose and encourage opposition to the New World Order, all this paranormal and UFO activity started happening around me. I started getting overtly harassed and my life threatened, not by delusions, but by evil reptilian beings, with amazing, "supernatural," abilites (and many of their disembodied souls). Thankfully, I was able to collect some evidence. I prayed that, if angels were real, some would come help me and speak to me, audibly, so I'd know it wasn't my imagination. It's a very long story, but I actually did get contacted by extremely intelligent, benevolent, saurian beings, who told me to trust in God, keep my eyes set on Christ, and not to worry, because they wouldn't let the demon monsters anywhere near me, physically. I've learned a lot, over these past three years, from firsthand experience and by asking the angels questions. As it turns out, these beings have natural, "supernatural," abilities, utilizing quantum entanglement. The demons are the hidden source of evil. They affect us all, directly and indirectly. They can induce a wide range of mental states. They can hear through our ears, see through our eyes, and very thoroughly read our conscious thoughts (only one or two people, at a time, each). They can insert words and images into our minds, put stuff in our dreams, travel in their spirit bodies (astral projection), perform telekinesis (which has happened at my house, many times), and, under certain circumstances, completely possess people's bodies ("divoc," in Ancient Hebrew, ("covid," backwards)). They secretly instigate hostility, immorality, and generally harmful behavior. They literally get high on some kind of energy produced by our suffering. Staying hidden is very important to them. They love it for their victims to be deemed crazy. Along with their evil human hybrids, they have been infiltrating the positions of power and influence, for thousands of years. They were the Nagas of Ancient Indian, Plumed Serpent Gods, of Ancient Central and South America, and were known to rule around the world, like China, Egypt, Sumer, ect.. They also use hidden advanced technology and psychological conditioning. The angels, who are far superior to the demons, notably, ethically and intellectually, have the same abilities, and have recently launched their major attack on the demon monsters, and are working on taking them out. This is what the Bible is predicting. The angels are very righteous, loving, creative and humorous, and highly value our freedom, autonomy, and our, "path." They expect us to do all we can, in this infowar, to help free ourselves, but they will handle that which we are unable, logistically. DO NOT BE TRICKED BY THE DEMONS INTO CAUSING VIOLENCE. THE REAL ANGELS WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO CAUSE VIOLENCE. That's what the demons like to do, which is what's behind all these crazy murder cases we hear about. I have no way of knowing, but I suspect these demons are what's tormenting all schizophrenics, especially based on the kinds of things heard by schizophrenics. There is a way to block the telepathic attacks. Idk why or how this works, but you have to pray and ask for the Holy Spirit, and then command the demons to release you and/or whomever, in Jesus Christ's name. It must be done often, cause they do come back. Christian music also tortures them away. Here's a summary, with evidence: www.quora.com/profile/Thomas-Jones-1963. Tiktok: reptilian_demon_exposure. I have more evidence to post. I had more on a Parler account, but they shut down. I have a lot of audio recordings to go through, to find the ones most audible (the beings can also communicate with you, by modulating the sound in the environment around you, with their telekinetic ability).

Personally, I think it's lunacy for people to assume they know and understand everything that exists. It really takes a certain level of intelligence, to be aware that we, humans, only know and understand a tiny fraction of this strange existence, in which we live.

My mom moved to a house that's over 100 yrs old. She got sick there. I believe it's a combo of brain disease & spiritual environment. They dug up the basement of the the building & there was human bones found one day during some remodeling, the house had also burned up, there was fire residue on alot of floors/walls of the building & the house had a history of addicts living there decades ago. We all left that property like 7 years ago. And well long story short my mom is on meds and doing fine but she started seeing things and hearing voices in that building and our pets hated going to certain parts of that house they were horrified.

I don’t know how I came across some of your videos but all I can say is WOW. You are as gorgeous on the inside as on the out. Everyone has challenges in life, only difference is how we handle them. You being strength and integrity while sharing your own challenges. I’m doing so you also bring awareness to those not faced with this challenge. If more people could have such great insight and educate others, maybe more peace could be found.

Lauren, I've set up a small Patreon donation. Keep up the good work-you are awesome.

Back in the 80's I remember two people coming into the mental ward where I worked as a college student (I'm sure they have a different name for it now) who had religious delusions. One woman believed that God was speaking to her and the other believed he was the second son of God. Under the guidelines at the time, both were released after refusing treatment because neither showed any signs of being a danger to themselves or anyone else, and both stated that they found their beliefs comforting. Of course I was surprised that people showing clear schizophrenic symptoms could be released.

This is just as deranged..it's no different. They may not suffer clinically from a mental disorder but its indistinguishable. After all, faith is defined as belief in something without evidence. Coincidentally, that's the same definition as delusion. The very founder and father of these Semitic, Middle Eastern monotheisms is Abraham, a figure who thought he heard voices instructing him to kill his kid. The evidence is all over the place - and religion is no good for humanity no matter how you twist it. There's no such thing as a good, progressive or rational religion.

Thanks again for your courage and commitment to share and to address the difficult issues. (and to be doing it so sensitively :) I learned some time ago that there is an important difference between spirituality and religion. My sense is that we all have a spiritual life whether or not we choose to make it a big part of our lives and, of course, some of us choose to take the path of religion too. (It is worth noting that, some would say that religious belief is disillusion.(!) I mention this, not to be disrespectful or rude to believers, but to support the view that we should be cautious when suggesting that we can be made well through religious practice such as exorcism or prayer. ) Compassion, patience, acceptance. In my view, these things are not only real but they are the best that we can offer , as humans, to our selves and one another. Great job :)

The modern person thinks "Science" is a god above all gods. Well, as a professional in mechanical engineering for nearly 30yrs I can tell you that most people spouting "science' don't really know but a fraction of what the populace thinks they know. Often times people in the sciences have a little info that the masses don't have (true science) and they fill in the gaps with massive amounts of presupposition. One of those being.. there is no god.. or that religion doesn't have anything to to with it. If folks would read the Bible and then go observe natural phenomena (real science) you would see that they are not mutually exclusive. There is an unseen creator and He has stated His expectations for mankind. Simply... there are "laws of God" (Yahweh) In the case of abnormal mental disorders I would not at all discount the ability to use chemicals to help. But also understand your flooding your whole body with an unnatural substance and there can be short term and long term side effects that could be more far more detrimental. Not only physically but Spiritually. IMO.. *FIRST* turn to Yahweh and Yeshua. Ask for help, ask for removal of evil influences, and ask Him for guidance in how to reduce or eliminate mental problems. I'm both a true believing Christian.. and I will take medicines when appropriate.

One of my best friend has schizophrenia and he went to a church school for a long time and lost count of how many times people tried to cast devil's out of him.

Kudos to you for bringing up this topic. Thank you for taking the time to clarify that schizophrenia is not demon posession. I'm a psychiatrist who is interested in Psychiatry and Religion. In the past, people believed that those suffering from psychosis were being possessed. What most likely occurred is that the individual may have had bipolar disorder and, after a period of time, their manic episode would have run its course. There is a wealth of knowledge demonstrating that schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mental health illnesses are biologically based. The need for demons to explain people suffering from these diseases is no longer needed. Furthermore, those methods would be ineffective. This does not mean that demon possession doesn't exist, per-se. But it is important to use all the available research to better understand and help those that are suffering. I wish this channel wonderful growth as it is doing a great job combating mental health stigma. Cheers!

I mean.... look at all the religious people....

I have Schizoaffective disorder and think you have the right balance of how to describe religious delusions in your videos. My Priest was very supportive and agreed that it is a biological effect of the brain rather than anything else causing my illness. I personally couldn't relate to religion for a long time because of the few delusions I had had which were religious, however since last year I decided that faith must be important to me so I have looked in to different religions as a study and feel comfortable being Christian. However, I see my illness as part of me and that it is a biological rather than spiritual effect on my body and my faith helps me on a daily basis.

I have had hallucinations ever since I was a child. My earliest recollection of seeing that which wasn't there, was when I was 3 or 4 years old. It was almost every night for a week, but I would have this same hallucination at night.. I had a bunk bed as a child. I slept on the bottom bunk, and would always go to sleep on the right side of the bed. As in my head is on the right side, on top of my pillows, and my blanket is tucked in on the left side.. I would wake up for whatever reason out of a dead sleep, only to realize, I'm suddenly on the opposite side of the bed, not only that but the covers are also tucked in on the opposite side of where they were! I looked to where my bedroom door is, the room is pitch black, but there is a faint light coming from the crack, underneath the door. .. but everytime I would reach out to try to stand up and go to the door, I would physically feel a wall. Then if I reached on the other side, the pitch black side where the wall should be, my hand would pass through, as though I could walk through this area.. The hallucination would end abruptly after screaming my ass off for my parents to come in... I have no idea where I was going with this. I just wanted to put that piece of terror for me out there. Now I understand the time I saw my friend Cory's mom, soaking wet asking for Cory, it wasn't a dopple ganger or a ghost as we believed as kids... It was me. Cory had wanted to have me stay over and have lunch with him. I must've been around 7 at this point. Anyway we were in his backyard and he went to the right of the house to access the garage. I stayed in the backyard and the backdoor to the house opened up and Cory's mom came out drenched in water, wearing a bath robe saying "Cory, Cory!" I told her to hold on he went over to the garage and I ran to get him, only when I found him, his mom was there with him. She was perfectly dry wearing a red shirt and jeans. She said no to the lunch!

My mom right now that I am writing the comment prays 24/7 hearing the Lords voices and she thinks she’s his daughter , she lost communication and she refuse to talk to the specialist , but when ambulance cicked in she was able to tell them that she’s not interested etc , she hasn’t been diagnostic yet not sure what can be causing this but tomorrow the mental crisis we might have to get her to get diagnose …. 😢 I pray my self to see back my real mom back even for a second …. 💔

My mom has undiagnosed schizophrenia but she has every single symptom. word salad, seeing delusions, sight delusions, all completely based off religion. its gotten to the point where she ignores her family, her friends, she locks herself inside and researches things online. she has stacks and stacks of paper from things she’s printed online. im more than positive if you stacked everything she’s printed it would touch the ceiling. she has random writings on her walls and papers on every surface. it’s really scary because she’ll get confused and find fictional monsters from books like animorphs and believe they’re real demons. i’ve brought up schizophrenia and she gets extremely mad at me and assumes i’m not having faith in God. so i play along often times not understanding her sentences. I don’t know what to do, but she’s completely lost in her own world and missing out on a lot of life. She never ever leaves the house anymore. I miss her, my family misses her, her friends miss her, but she refuses to talk to anyone because shes in what she calls spiritual warfare fighting demons and researching them. im 20 btw if this adds context. is there anything at all i can do? It makes me feel horrible just letting her slip away and I can never spend time with her because I don’t know what she’s ever saying

You are correct on this subject and I am glad you pointed out this particular subject. I too read some of the comments made in conjunction with schizophrenia and the healing effects of religion/spirituality. Unfortunately, fixing this type of disease/illness with religious beliefs isn’t like a vehicle breaking down and taking it to a mechanic. If it were I would have had it fixed the next day. I was reared with catholic beliefs within a religious family. What people do not understand, those who do not live with this disease directly, is that non-fiction and fiction are one in the same and deciphering which is real to which isn’t complicates the actual joys of recovery. As an example for those who do not understand, take a clean canvas and paint it white. Let it dry. Now paint picture using white paint on that canvas. You know you’ve painted it. You know what shapes and shading should be there but when you show it to someone, they see nothing but a canvas that’s painted white. It’s the best analogy I could come up with. And by the persons viewing this magnificent painting, they’ll suggest using other colors. You only have one color to paint with. In my life the hypothetical colors added were those of a positive support group, family and friends. But most importantly, for the people that live with this it’s positivity and always looking forward to keep moving one foot in front of the other. Time will always move forward and you should be there alongside it. Life is worth living.

I initially assumed the topic of this video would be along the lines of religious OCD -- forgetting, of course, that, although OCD can be comorbid with schizophrenia, it's a completely different condition. I'm a practicing Catholic and have been told by my parish priest that I suffer from what our faith calls scrupulosity -- a tendency to see harmless, everyday things as sinful. Honestly, I have at times suffered from this to the point of wondering if I may be schizotypical. I've put that thought on the back burner as the problem has subsided, but am willing to talk to a doctor if it ever gets out of control again. It's my experience that prayer can only help. I will assent, however, to the reality that schizophrenia is down to an abnormality in brain anatomy, and that comments disavowing that entirely stem from ignorance/superstition. God bless!

She also dreamt about this orb and thought that God was trying to tell her something. That and seeing dead relatives in dreams and a red apocalyptic sky. She was obsessed with the world ending and believed our family was "chosen" to be saved.
