Oh, absolutely. You don't necessarily have to be wandering around downtown Chicago to have someone snatch your organs while you're still breathing just to ensure they stay tender, juicy, and perfectly fresh for the market.
Just a word of advice: be extremely careful about which crowd you hang out with when you're heading to some sketchy part of town with a group of people you barely even know.

YES. Honestly, guys, you have way more patience with this group than I do!
I would’ve lost my mind and sent them all packing ages ago.
Just kidding,😁 folks.
Those uncontrolled movements are like jolts... almost as if you’re existing in two different times and places simultaneously, then suddenly twitching back into the present moment. It’s wild. Actually, that state of consciousness is pretty fascinating if you think about it!!
Science, man... nobody truly knows the cause or even the mechanism behind how it actually works. In my amateur opinion, what percentage of the brain does a human actually use? Like, 10%? Is that right?
Where’s the rest? I suspect some unknown center in the brain gets activated—something that basically stays dormant for everyone else.
But, hey, they treat it like a disease because it interferes with the daily grind we all deal with (that constant, frantic rhythm).
Wow, looking back, I really regret not studying medicine....

That post above, where the guy took his own life, is a perfect example of how serious that downward spiral of paranoia can get. And he was absolutely convinced it was real.

Look, you’re married, you’re loved, and nobody wants to see you fail. That’s what matters. Just ignore any potential malice coming from the outside. It’s a cruel world out there.
I spent some time in a psychiatric facility once. From what I could tell, all those patients are incredibly emotional people. Everything hits them hard. Literally everything that goes wrong. And their self-esteem is completely trashed.

Ida Bauer said:I have a few questions for anyone who has experience dealing with schizophrenia:
1. Do you ever feel like certain people just have this negative energy that affects you for no apparent reason? Like, just being near them feels off, even if they aren't saying anything stupid or doing anything out of the ordinary?
2. Do you get the feeling that you can predict things before they happen? Whether it’s in a dream or just while you're awake...
3. Have you ever felt like you could communicate with the dead, or like you possess some kind of supernatural abilities?
4. Do you struggle with sleep issues, like restlessness or insomnia?
5. Do you find yourself talking a lot?
5. Does your concentration constantly jump from one thing to another?

Of course, I'm talking about how things are when you aren't on medication. If anyone knows someone living with schizophrenia, please share your thoughts... thanks.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. You explained it perfectly.

I'm not following you on this carbon monoxide thing; could you explain what you mean?😍

I take my vitamins and minerals. I eat a little bit of meat.

You need meat; iron is essential if you actually want to live a healthy lifestyle. And for heaven's sake, cut out the coffee! As for me, I still smoke—I do it at work, and I drink whenever the mood strikes. Regarding the carbon stuff... I had an issue with my water heater once, and it caused high levels of carbon monoxide in my room. A technician eventually came by and fixed it.
I started thinking I was just making things up in my head; I stopped obsessing over all the trivial nonsense in life, became more laid back, and things actually improved a bit. My head still feels a little tight in the back sometimes, but overall, I'm doing alright. Still, the whole situation is a total mess...
They say schizophrenics don't lose intelligence; if anything, they process things much faster than everyone else. It's true.
Just relax and try to enjoy every single moment. Avoid stress at all costs. If you don't have a pet, go get one.

This might sound a little ridiculous, but I’ve actually been cutting back on my carbon footprint in my own little bubble—I’ve cut down on coffee and alcohol, basically just purging all the toxins from my daily routine. That's really it. Just more sleep, some vitamins, and stuff like that. Honestly, it's doing wonders.

A few years back, shortly after I turned 18, I went through a massive mental health crisis... privately.
One day, I just started convinced I could time travel—seeing things before they actually happened (and they really did happen), all while dealing with this intense paranoia that the FBI was tailing me and all that nonsense... but that "trip" into the future was constant.
It was like living in a perpetual state of déjà vu, every single day. Non-stop. That is, until I ended up hospitalized for entirely different reasons and quit drinking coffee, which drastically dialed everything down. Now, it rarely happens.
Supposedly, aside from genetics, major shocks and life crises can trigger schizophrenia, which might stick around forever or vanish completely—assuming that’s even what it was in the first place.
Nowadays, it barely touches me, just occasionally... I can still predict certain situations. But, hey, not enough to win at the Vegas sportsbook 😉 though it does come in handy sometimes.
