This is why I am so irritated with other people’s delusions being enabled. “Reality checking” is really opposed on social medias like TikTok. It upsets me to see people playing into mentally ill people’s delusions instead of leaving them be. They treat it like roleplaying, when they’re clearly not well.

I agree, I experience hallucinations and delusions (The delusions started in 2020-2021 but I’ve had hallucinations my whole life). My parents and sibling would always enable these hallucinations saying they are “ghosts” because they believe in ghosts and thought I was “spiritually sensitive”. I managed to realize that they are not ghosts and convinced my parents to get me the proper help I need (therapy and medication). It’s definitely helped though I don’t know what’s caused it. It could have been caused by me having depression (I’m pretty sure I’ve had it since I was young), me having delusional disorder, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder or it could be none of those and I’m just having random hallucinations and delusions. I’m honestly just really glad that I was able to snap out of it and get the help i need.

I'm glad you were able to receive help. I had a friend with schizoaffective disorder in high school. To a far lesser extent, I experienced severe anxiety in high school, which made me feel constant fight or flight and made me hallucinate creepypastas. In my rational brain, I knew they weren't real, but the intense fear gripped me still. My dad refused to get me treatment, saying that I would be thrown in a nuthouse (which I later learned was not true). After having an allergic reaction to prozac which gave me amnesia, I stopped hallucinating. Nowadays, I began to seek treatment and take cbd oil, and it helps stop irrational thoughts and my panic attacks and helps me sleep. The freedom of relief is bliss.

It was really cathartic to hear he'd gotten rid of one of the recurring hallucinations that way. Unfortunately, my beetle hallucinations (thanks pest trauma) aren't as persistent as they used to be, but like to come back whenever I'm stressed out. It's pretty easy to tell whether they're real or not because they don't move realistically, so it only takes a glance for them to disappear or I realise it's just a bit of dark lint, but even though I'm always incredulous, that takes a toll. The worst bit with pest hallucinations is that you can't 100% ignore them, because real pests need to be investigated as soon as possible. If you let them reproduce just one time, it takes months before you can be sure they're gone, and that's ***definitely*** not recommended if you're already traumatised 😅

​@@stephanaeon with this kind of visual/audio hallucination, it's less about fact-checking, and more about, like, getting your brain to change track. Getting the phone and looking through the camera requires you to activate other parts of your brain to remember which pocket it's in, swipe in your passcode, hold it up steady, focus your eyes on the screen, etc. It's sort of like when your attention drifts away from a conversation and someone gives you a tap on the shoulder or clicks their fingers to get your attention. Doesn't work so well if you *believe in* the hallucination or delusion, though. So much of psychology is your brain adjusting to expect things that aren't true or that are unhelpful.

I've been ignoring them since I was little to the point at first I thought they were normal and that everyone had them but just ignored them. As I grew older and learned it's not normal, I became accustomed to them so I just kept ignoring them. The result was they don't even bother me anymore, although if I really focus on them, they become "stronger" so to speak and it becomes harder to ignore them. Edit: the point being that I kinda feel lucky I've fallen into a feedback loop of ignoring them instead of paying attention to them and having them grow.

I like the repeated emphasis on taking care of yourself of your mental health. To the untrained ear it might sound tedious but to someone who doesn’t know any better, words like that could help.

This sounds so terrifying to experience. As someone who has had sleep paralysis as well as night terrors for as long as I can remember, feeding into delusions makes the nightmare real. I grew up being pinned to the bed several times a week, feeling like my entire body was being electrocuted, and I couldn't close my eyes. There was always this silhouette of a bald man thing that was darker than dark, and it would just stand in my doorway and vibrate in a way that made my eyes hurt. When I was 18 and googled it, I found out how common seeing "shadow people" was. I genuinely wished I still thought I was the only person in the world to see something like that. I did and do see a doctor, and it's just a sleep condition that I take medication to help with, but I fell down a rabbit hole of insanity during the period of time I believed that what I was seeing was real. I still kind of wonder though. I just don't think about it anymore. It doesn't help, I'll never get answers and I don't want them anyway, and it's far too easy to spiral. Mental health is no joke.

Honestly this is incredibly sad. This man needs a doctor and a doctor that is going to take him serious. Psychosis is no joke I went through postpartum psychosis after having my daughter and it’s one of the most terrifying things you will ever go through. It’s like being at war with your own brain because you can’t trust Your own brain. It’s really hard to trust other people. But that doesn’t mean that you don’t need help. I knew there was something wrong with me because I would have conversations with people or at least I thought I was having these memories and then I would bring them up to the people I had the memories about and they said that it never happened. A lot of my psychosis started as just questioning whether or not I was seeing some thing correctly. Like shadows out of the corner of my eye or thinking someone had walked by when they didn’t. The experience I had going to the hospital though was not good. I had a mental break down and was forced into an inpatient hospital. The entire time they kept giving me sedatives because apparently I would have panic attacks when I was awake. I unfortunately I have a lot of other health problems so we had to do a lot of research before finding medication that would not make things worse. Cases like this are very very very fragile and the patient needs to be treated with respect, and validation. Even if their claims seem crazy the worst thing you can do is tell someone who is going through active psychosis that they are going through active psychosis. My family had to learn this the hard way because when they would say I was over reacting I didn’t even understand what was going on. I’m actually currently not on any antipsychotics but I am on medication controlling my vitamin levels as well as anxiety medication. As I said before I have a lot of other health problems so I take a lot of medication‘s but it took a lot of hard work and very caring and fragile treatment from doctors. My heart literally aches for this man because I know what the system is like and what he probably has experienced and that’s probably why he’s lost faith in that system. Which I also would validate for him there are certain hospitals that if they brought me to I have flashbacks from the times where they forced me in there and then just drugged me up. My daughter is over a year and my mental state is doing a lot better but I can’t imagine somebody who has no light at the end of the tunnel. I really hope this man finds a good doctor that cares about him and doesn’t just want to shut him up. And to the people encouraging these delusions, it’s kind of evil. This man is sick and he is not in the right state of mind encouraging that is only making him more sick and putting him and the people around him in more danger.

I had a friend who was schizophrenic… dude had a genius level IQ (180 if I recall) but he was so obsessed with the Illuminati and Freemasons and other secret societies that it was impossible for him to ever apply his brilliance. He had some very strange obsessions too. Like he went through a zen Buddhist martial arts phase and part of that was he’d fully masticate (chew) his food. It was pretty distracting him slurping food around in his mouth. He’d do it with foods like mashed potatoes and peanut butter even. Last I heard he started thinking he was Jesus and tried stalking a female friend of ours for which he was arrested. I also heard he started having delusions that his father was a Freemason so he distanced himself from his family which were the only people keeping him stable. I heard he had issues with the law and repeated episodes that lead him to being hospitalized. In the end I hope the best for him but he certainly was a level of crazy I’m not interested in associating with at this point in my life.

I love how you tell stories, and I appreciated hearing a different side of this one. I feel like a lot of presenters I've heard discuss this person or cases similar treat it very dramatically and present it like a campfire story, and it's nice to see someone talk about the user like a real person and what happened to them after the whole catacombs incident. Thanks for making my day a little brighter when I feel gross, your videos always make me smile.

i had a fairly high fever (102-104) all throughout this week and woke up a few times in the night insanely paranoid. it makes me understand snappedfingers a little more, since i kinda get how he could get to that point

It's funny how often spiders appear in various hallucinations. I used to have night terrors (as an adult) which would essentially be me waking up and seeing spiders either on the bed, on me, etc. Usually lead to screaming but they'd disappear before my eyes. Like my mind started to focus, like vision, which made the spiders phase out of existence.

Yeah I used to have pretty bad sleep paralysis as a teenager and I’d always hallucinate spiders, apparently it’s one of the most common hallucination alongside vague shadowy figures

It’s insane how some youtuber I just started watching said some encouraging words at the beginning of a video so out of the blue exactly when I needed to hear it. Thank you

This is why I hate how people on tiktok are using the word "delulu" thinking it's quirky. I feel like it's so disrespectful to cases like these. Feels like it invalidates people who are actually delusional and are in need of help.

The man I once called my brother has bipolar and drug-induced psychosis. For the past 5 or so years, he’s sounded exactly like this, while hurting EVERYONE around him. At least Snapped seems to have found help. Gives a bit of hope.

Hey there! Was watching the video and heard about your part. "I'm not a psychologist... but...", and thought of some things I've had happen to me that could probably help. When I was 21, I was heavily obsessed with being a femboy and being a sort of detourrent for my sister to not have to worry about sexual predators. I've already been doing it for some time. But after my 22nd birthday, I began acting strange, even looking back on it now. Whenever I'd be taking transit to visit friends or anything, I'd act even more hupervigilant than I used to be. I wasn't a kid who grew up stupid my mom and sisters have all taught me techniques and things that I need to be worried about strangers on the road and in elementary school but this hyper vigilantism was unlike anything I was used to doing myself this hyper vigilantism eventually turned itself into a sort of delusion that there was a group of people that were trying to find me whether it was to traffic me or whether it was to make me disappear off the face of the Earth there was a group of individuals who were attempting to find me which would have me believe that they could tap into things like the music I listen to the energy I radiate based off my mood and the games I play all of this kind of boil down when eventually my mom sent me to the mental hospital to get me evaluated and make sure I was doing good mentally the psychologist their determined that I had two cases mainly one case wasn't as bad as the other one cuz one case was basically the main actor taking over the whole show when the other one is kind of just running in the background in this case this was an instance where I had something they classify as a schizophrenic psychosis, were a person experiences delusions of a group or individual that doesn't exist that has intentions to find or harm them even if they're even if they're delusions are countered by real life proof that it isn't real, I've specifically remember nights where I was walking out with my friends in downtown and in my head I was under the assumption that there were people in the crowd that were following me for a minute but I couldn't actually prove it. This is a good case of someone having schizophrenic psychosis psychosis is usually the general feeling that everything is out to get you but schizophrenic psychosis is a very special and very like rule-based version of psychosis where you don't necessarily believe everyone out in the world is out there to get you but with schizophrenic psychosis you kind of invent this like Illuminati Corporation sort of to say that is hunting you down or trying to locate you. My other diagnosis ironically enough just being schizophrenic is not as bad as schizophrenia is made out to be it's not like I turn around the corner and I see something that isn't there or here people speaking into my ears whenever I don't want to, I've received tons of psychological help over the past five years and with hardening friendships and explaining to family about doctors I have someone managed to get my life back in order, but schizophrenia will often have you do little quirks regardless of your condition whether it's like a stable condition or you're actually cracking at the seams, an example with me is that even if I'm alone or with a friend doesn't matter whatever I'm doing at that point in time whether if it's not readable I will narrate my own life experiences as they're happening in real time to myself even if I'm the only person in the room as if I'm a third person party watching my own life through my own eyes when we all know this isn't the case but this is just a quirk that I have from my mental condition and it doesn't emphasize that I don't have the mental capacity to understand that I am my own being and the actions I do are result of my actions , I think of it as like as if I was a KZreadr doing real life content and I was just narrating my day-to-day life just instead of thousands of subscribers I'm narrating to myself, which is just a self-check way to make sure that my mental is not absolutely going insane because I talk to myself in a sane voice in order to make sure that my mental is still good if I start becoming incoherent or senile or start blabbering nonsense about some Evil Lizard Corporation that's trying to find me then I know I've cracked. I know it's a bunch of random knowledge points, but if it helps understand the chaotic uncertainty of having scitzophrenia, you may be able to spot it in a friend or loved one and know how to not shame them for it.

Your videos keep getting better and better! Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks, Harry! I'm on it! :')

I think he was stopped by authorities somewhere on the way to the catacombs and was forced to get help. This would explain his absence and clarity after.

Great video! I've heard plenty about this story but hadn't heard of the update of him moving on from that train of thought. Hopefully he got help and is a healthier and happier person now.

Great video...but it sure made me think about my best friend who offed himself ~10 years ago. When one reads totally mental things, like in this video, one easy forget how a schizophrenic that talks to you can make it seem So True and Rational! In fact my friend just tossed red flag after red flag at me, but he made it all make sense... Rest In Your Chaos, man 🖤

I think the most important take away from this video is: if you are struggling w/ mental health, your social life has been damaged, you’re hurting yourself, or other people, or your life is being debilitated by these struggles, GET HELP. PLEASE. GET HELP. And if you are not a professional, don’t try to play doctor. Be a supporting factor in their lives, but you are not a doctor nor a professional and more often than not strangers “trying to help” can make serious mental health cases worse. Help by getting them to ppl who can truly help in the long run, help by being a friend, help by making sure they’re safe. But also stay safe yourself, you are not obligated to have your life run by another person. Your mental health is just as important. This is also why it’s important to try and not vent out all your trauma or deep problems publicly online, bc 90% of ppl online do not have your best interest in mind. Please for anybody struggling: get a good support system, your friends aren’t therapists, but can be there to help ease the pain, talk to a doctor, and tell ppl you trust about what you’re going through. You’re strong ❤

Your greeting was so sweet and encouraging. This might be dumb to admit to but i was literally curled on the floor crying silently when i heard u say that. Its just really kind even if u arent speaking to anyone in particular.

I’m so glad that he did come back; I remember watching a video about his situation a little while back when it ended with him saying even the “experts” on discord had been possessed by demons that were trying to convince him not to actually go to the catacombs It’s really good to know that he didn’t end up getting himself hurt or worse and seemingly got help so he can live a somewhat normal life

I’m no doctor but this sounds like schizophrenia, and I really wish he was willing to get legit medical help.

Snapped fingers has terrible schizophrenia (most probably). That doesn't mean they're dangerous, it means they need help. This is what all this stigma about mentally ill people and psychological welfare centers does. I know this is extremely difficult but he needs to get rid of these discord experts. Most of the time you are being manipulated, the person doing the manipulation is super nice and seems like they wanna help you. These people are not helping snapped fingers, even if they think they do and snapped would be way better of without them.

Another fantastic video. Found your channel bc of the collab you did with Plagued Moth a while back, and honestly I respect the work you put into the vids. Keep it up, man. Also, dig the earrings. Don't see guys rocking those kinds much, but they suit ya.

Welcome aboard! I'm glad you like the content!

I hardly ever see other guys with long hair and dangly earrings! I love it

I also used to resist treatment because I was so scared of not knowing what would happen if I was honest. With lies, and refusal, you know what the result will be. Honesty is much scarier. However, it is *far* healthier, and almost always results in a positive ending. Im currently being honest with my caretaker and therapist, and while it’s anxiety inducing, I know they’ll do their best to help.

This whole time, I was thinking that he was a very imaginative troll.

What is scary about the internet is that not only are people going to it to seek medical advice from complete strangers but they could just as easily find somebody just like themselves, as far as having a mental episode, and they could team up to create complete havoc. Like what if the person calling him chief wasn't messing with him and was actually completing their own mission to find a universal soldier to defeat the underrealm. While the other guy is a universal soldier on a mission to find his commander who is the only one who knows the secrets of where to find, enter and defeat the beast of the underealm. They could be down there right now for all we know.

The people feeding this guy's delusions are far more disturbed than SnappedFingers could ever be.

hey man, that little comment you made at the beginning about being okay and taking care of yourself, i needed that. and i don’t believe you’re “blabbering”. thank you for the content you create and hearing the voices of those unheard

I really enjoyed the video, and your editing is really high quality from what I’ve seen. Honestly, hearing you describe their hallucinations felt like getting slapped in the face. Schizophrenia runs in my family, and I myself have been seeking help for it, but people never truly realize how their actions affect those out of touch with reality. It seems that people have started to become hesitant with reality checking, although, if handled properly, it’s an important tool. Never feed into someones delusions. Ever. Again, great video, I’ll be looking forward to more.

You seem like a really chill guy. I like your tone how you tell everyone how you hope we’re doing okay. I’m under the weather right now mentally but that’s not really important right now. I really like your videos that I keep stumbling upon. Thanks for uploading.

I have never seen your videos before today. Your snippet at the beginning made me cry. As a mom of 2 dealing with PPD, I did not expect that while insomnia-scrolling through KZread, but I needed it. Thank you, for being you. I can't wait to dig through all of your videos.

jesus, the fact that they considered cutting off a member to deal with the "creatures". its scary, its even scarier knowing i might get there some day. thats a good reason to try and get help early, the more you wait the harder it gets to get better

I’ve heard this story before, but interestingly no one has really touched on the manipulation factor of it

This is maybe the best video I've seen from you. Usually your stuff is really similar to other "disturbing content" on KZread or it is on the same subjects I've seen elsewhere. This was something completely new to me that I'd never heard of and it was well researched & well told. So well done man. Hope to see more deep dives like this.

What’s scary for me is that I also had the “haaaah” sound in my ear a few times in my life, the first one was when I was in kindergarten trying to fall asleep and the last one was about 2 months ago

Investigate why there are hacked KZread channels that aren't used anymore and they have copyrighted content like family guy and Bob's burgers, and they don't get taken down

He also came back and explained everything in a now deleted posts. He explained this whole thing and said that basically it was a delusion. He's gotten help and is doing better. Interestingly, he left up the comments from before his leaving but deleted the updates. He also respectfully asked to be left alone and for people to drop it.

How can people be so cruel and manipulate towards those who need help? It's disgusting. I do hope that op got help they needed.

I just wanted to say man, I found you through Plagued Moth, and love how much you've improved. I'm a musician, and it warms my heart to see someone happy doing something they love. 😊

i love how caden is only referring to the guy as snappedfingers lmao instead of referring to his real actual name or giving him a fake name like "bob" assuming snappedfingers didn't put his real name in his bio or anything

Jesus fuck, poor guy. I have anxiety-induced hallucinations that are really similar to what he described (I'm usually fine if I take my meds correctly, but stuff slips through sometimes) so I understand the fear and confusion he must have been dealing with. I can't _imagine_ having someone I consider a friend deliberately exacerbate that. Glad he was able to recover and move on with his life. That in mind, I do wonder if the issue with these so-called 'experts' wasn't some kind of folie a deux type of situation, basically a bunch of people with mental health issues feeding into each other's delusions without meaning to.

As a schizophrenic I detected schizophrenia in this guy from the start Thank God I don't have it anywhere near as bad as him, I'm 22 now and just ignore the crimson roots with hands on them that grow out of the walls occasionally.

I do feel for this guy. While I do struggle ALOT with mental illnesses, it isn't the same as his. Aka major depression, ocd, anxiety, pocd. I understand what its like when your mind is against you. Its terrifying. I hate how unfair it is that certain people are forced to live with these kind of things their whole life.

My own brother dealt with hallucinations similar to these a while back where horrifying creatures would walk through the walls, or everyday objects which he trusts turn into malicious beasts. My parents got him the help he needed, and he doesn’t suffer anymore, I don’t remember the diagnosis though. Anyways it just stings to see this guy be manipulated for so long without getting help.

This is so disgusting... people online literally worsened this poor man's mental health. He went from recognizing that there was at least something wrong that wasn't real, to now thinking it was all real and nothing was wrong...

A few minutes into this video and I can already tell this user has Schizophrenia or a Schizoaffective disorder. How? I'm schizophrenic, and have the exact same (or similar) hallucinations. Now since I have been diagnosed with childhood onset Schizophrenia, they told me I'm less likely to suffer from delusions, but I remember a time where I was delusional at one point, it's such a scary experience, I wouldn't wish that upon anyone...

I really needed the intro, this means a lot, Ik it’s not directed exactly towards me but it still goes to show that someone cares

Hate people who play into these peoples delusions and try to make them believe their stupid shit and make them think this stuff

I have a buddy who is just like snapped fingers in the very very beginning where they also have hallucinations and isn’t trustworthy of therapy or the doctors as they too feel like they are being used as a lab rat. With no irl friends they can open up to about it in real life or well anyone in real life for that matter. Seeing how these people took advantage of his hallucinations makes my stomach turn. I wanna keep my friend away from these sick bastards as much as I can.

Knight, you just popped up in my feed. I’m really going through it emotionally and mentally and I really needed to hear that in the intro. I love you. Thank you.

Um holy crap. I needed* to hear the beginning. That I'd pull through. That you hoped I'm okay. Because I'm not. I needed the encouragement. Thank you so much. I have decided to see if I feel better tomorrow, and to grab a glass of water. I hope you're hanging in there too knight.

This is so sad, he clearly has some form of schizophrenia and people have convinced him it's something supernatural. This is why psychology and medication is so important. I'm really glad he realized he was being manipulated by other users

So glad to have had this in my recommended. Your channel is super cool and I'm so happy to have been introduced to it!

Also not a psychiatrist/psychologist but it's pretty clear there's something not right with SnappedFingers, presuming they're in earnest. I can only assume that they've since gotten some help, although if they really wanted to leave that business behind they could get a new account. Shame on those who were exploiting them presumably for their own kicks.

I've been suffering through hallucinations and many delusions... Especially persecutory and... Derealization? But regardless, I hope that they get help... Additionally, I think that playing or enabling delusions is ok... A lot of people around me, my friends and family for example did that. At least I remember that... But I really hope they're ok. Edit: I meant isn't ok... To enable delusions.

The fact that people would enable these things on others and feed their delusions who are suffering probably just for some laughs is disgusting

First time viewer. When a KZread takes just a few seconds to say "I hope you're doing ok, if you're going through a rough time, stay strong, I'm sure you'll pull through" stuff like that, I appreciate it so, so, so freaking much. So few creators do this but a handful do it consistently, it takes so little time, and 0 effort from the creator, but it goes so so far for the viewer. It's just a little sign of empathy, and spreading love and kindness. More KZreadrs should do it.

Christ. This is such a sad story. I still can’t believe people can be so disgusting as to manipulate someone who doesn’t know what is real and what isn’t.

I feel so terrible that this innocent man found a bad part of the internet and the people he reached out to for help fed into his delusions and drove him deeper and deeper.

Wow! I would've never though you'd suggest a dislike, that's such a responsible thing to do! Definitely liking this!

2:20 okay well if you're not willing to talk to any doctors about your condition because you're CLEARLY schizophrenic, then go ahead and continue to live with these terrifying hallucinations. That's the great thing about freedom, you're allowed to do or not do whatever you want to!

I hadn't been looking at my sub box for weeks and hadn't even noticed the glow-up. Glad to see your channel growing! Well deserved ❤️ Coincidentally, I also remember seeing that exact crackhead clip a few years ago. Weird that this account is the origin

I feel so bad for this guy, I really hope he’s ok

It's hard for people who are struggling like this to move on and/or get the proper help needed when there are trolls and other 'mentally ill' people responding. I sometimes watch videos on YT of ppl who swear they're being gang stalked. It's delusional and clear that they need help but the comments being left by others who think they're also being gang stalked do more harm than anything.

The intro was so sweet :') thanks dude, I appreciate it
