is there such a thing? i was diagnosed with bipolar, and i know there isn't always a big difference between the two. about 2 months ago i realized i have NOTHING to be paranoid about. i have yet to be paranoid about anything since. most 'normal' people i know are always paranoid about something. i think this is because when someone doesn't know something they let their imaginations run wild. i have recently realized that knowledge transcends imagination. i believe that the things i know that are beyond human imagination are the reason i believe i have nothing to be paranoid about. sorry if this makes no sense lol
that sounds pretty right on to me if you are an unparanoid schizo, then you are probably in really good shape
I think thsi sorta thinkning should be taught to victims of psychological disorders like bipolar and schiz and stuff. Caus i control my paranoia on weed heaps well compared to everyone i know, and i think similarly of course if your carying weed and theres cops eyeing you out then tehre is a reason to be paranoid lol
There is not a big difference between bipolar and schizophrenia a lot of times. i have a few symptoms of both but i don't believe i am either really. i feel like i have overcome depression as well as paranoia. weed keeps me completely balanced. it doesn't make me paranoid at all. weed expands your awareness. now unless you are aware of that awareness you may become paranoid. paranoia arises when you are not totally aware of that expanded awareness. what you probably do is fill in the blanks in awareness with your imagination. you can tell a lot about a person when they are paranoid. everyone uses their imagination in different ways. now why is it that people with schizophrenia are often paranoid about the same things? this is something i have yet to figure out.
There's no such thing as unparanoid schizophrenia. It's just plain schizophrenia and paranoid schizophrenia. Also, Blackie has it right, scientifically there's next to no similarity between being bipolar and being schizophrenic... bipolars work in waves, or periods of time; you're on top of the world for a while, then you sink into a depression. Schizophrenics are just schizophrenic all the time (think Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys), and the cause is unknown. Paranoid schizophrenics are the same but with the "something is out for me" outlook (most everyone thinks regular schizophrenia is actually paranoid schizo). Being schizophrenic is a far, far more debilitating prognosis than being bipolar is...
Actually there is a big difference between the two, I have a freinds who are bipolar and a close freind of mine is skitzo, trust me its very different
paranoia sucks hardcore.. i could smoke a spliff anyday and see the dullness in it all, because its so not real and fake. I'll see the outside world (beyond my head) the way it is, yet otherwise ill view it from a paranoid state which doesnt transcend into anything that it really is..whic makes no sense. Put me into a crowd of people with that spliff and deep into the paranoid skitzo world i shall visit...well maybe...
being paranoid from smoking and being paranoid from being insane are complete opposites. trust me. paranoia from being insane is more like tripping too hard on mushrooms and wanting it to stop but it gets stronger. it happens to me, i can handle it fine because im not totally insane, but this kid skull, now thats a different story.
i dunno about the names really, but ive been diognosed with cannabis psycosis and some kind of skizsophrenia thing, and psycotic episodes and bi polar. infact its been a diffrent diognoses each time. but its always been the same thing. and im not any of those things. ive been depressed and ive been insane for a bit too. bipolar dosnt just mean happy n sad, the manic bit can also mean proper insane, but in a good mood. when ive been manic its been twisted as fuck. but in a good way. never had so much fun. but i still know i aint any of them labels. its just life fucks with some peoples heads cus of what ever reasons, liek the person said that started the post, im thru all the depression n stuff too. and i know im not a mentalist. its just life.
Fuck off Fulmah you ignorant bitch (I don't care if you're male you're still an ignorant bitch) 12 monkeys has no relevance to reality despite being a very good film. Thankyou god, hebephrenic <i>is</i> happy schizophrenia and I know cos that's what I am - what it actually means in latin is child-like. If you aren't paranoid but are mad then that's probably what you are, although I'm not too sure I believe in madness so much as altered states, although I call myself mad all the time as kind of a short hand..."When I was mad everything seemed to make sense to me". Schizophrenia also comes and goes like bipolar and if you're hebephrenic you get ups and downs although my downs were exclusively when I was forced to take their stinking evil pills and injections. Psychiatrists, with the exception of Jung, are close minded, ignorant, deluded (in that they think they are as infallible as god) pieces of shit. I have issues about what was done to me in the name of a 'caring society'.
My cousin is paranoid schitzophrinic. It is thought its because of too much LSD. though he denys this. This is why i dont take chemicals. It is no laughing matter, this problem caused so so many troubles for his family.. then he calmed down and met a girl, got married.... then the problem flew up again and he took it all out on her instead of his mum. its a horrible horrible mental state for everyone else around the person who has it as well as the person who has it.
I think a lot of people are in the dark about schizophrenia. My mom has schizophrenia. The symptoms started occuring around 93. At first it was little things, or at least little in comparison to what they would grow into. She started off thinking that the neighbors were out to get her. She would say that she saw them messing around in our yard. Eventually it turned into things such as my best friend and his dad had been replaced by robots. She thought that my uncle Jimmy, who died in the vietnam war, had been sent to spy on her by the government. She duct taped the entire ceiling of the living room so that no one could "peep down on her". Like most people with schizophrenia she was constantly taking things apart such as the tv remote, and other electronic equipment. Her disease will never go away. It will only grow worse. She is on lithium now, which keeps her semi-sane, but eventually it will not help her. Being bipolar is something completely different. It is not a constant mental state such as schizophrenia is.
Bi polar is a mental state which causes extreemes of emotions. Unlike paranoid Schizophrenia which is a state of mind. Although schizophrenia isnt always constant and like any mental problem can calm down and flair up depending on the suffer. Bi polar does the same but thats part of its symptoms. One minuite you can be extaticly happy, histerical and stupidly euphporic, and the next you can be so mentaly depressed you wont move from the same sitting position stairing into space for days on end. thats just a few exaples of bipolar.
