Anyone ever experience something like this?

Schizophrenia is not an illness! Hallucinations just mean that you are using your brain for 75% instead of the regular 10%!

Fuckin Brain

Pork soda, first of all we all use 100% of our brain. That we only use 10% of our brain is a myth. Schizophrenia has however been linked to an abnormal amount of neuron connections, meaning that these people see connections when there are none, somewhat like if one would spray water on a circutry. It doesn't make the circuitry work better - it makes it work worse.
...so take your medication.

That was...different

You can't teach a moron like pork soda anything!

You're an anus!

Bad science.

It was just a figure of speach! When I hear voices, I can feel my brain going into overdrive. I can literally(literally-literally)feel the voices in my brain. The only problem is that they speak apparently gibberish. But I believe what they say has a deeper meaning. And taking medication is a double-edged sword. Zyprexa killed the voices so now I feel lonely in my head. But Solian otoh was awesome. I started dreaming before I fell asleep. I hope the voices come back one day so I can decipher their messages.

The messages are your own brain telling you that you are nuts

In what way?

You can feel all sorts of things when your brain makes connections it shouldn't. If you do weed, suddenly EVERYTHING feels like it has deeper meaning. A few connections between those neurons and the area responsible for your awareness of conversation, and you'll hear voices. This is what makes you a loose gun, because as you struggle to make sense of these voices, you are beginning to trust that you should do whatever these voices say. Then one day these voices and your emotions will connect, and you'll finally hear them make sense, saying things as that you should kill people.

So it's either that, or start dealing with feeling lonely in your head - your call. Humanity isn't worth keeping alive, so you're free to do as you'd like.

Barbara Walters is on the case!

This board is just one big schizophrenic episode

You cite(I use the term loosely and stipulate)a link between schizophrenia and "an abnormal amount of neuron connections."  Fair enough, but I would caution that the use of the word abnormal indicates a qualitative determination rather than more quantitative "higher number" or "unusual" or even the actual numbers.
You continue with "...meaning..." So after citing studies that only provide a "link"  you assert a causal relationship, a mechanism, a conclusion, and use what is, in my opinion, a specious simile.
I'm gonna hypothesize now.  You are, in order of likelihood, one of the following:
A patient.
A psych, or NP undergrad.
An incompetent psych or social work professional.
Whatever the case your post exhibits knowledge but lacks expertise.  You think physics is tough?  We're still in the very earliest stages of just attempting to reconcile the human mind and the human brain, and though your assertions may be common among, or acceptable to public health "professionals", they are not acceptable to scientists.

That didn't storm my mind whatsoever. I thought it would be like lots of scary distortions of everyday life with flashes and stuff but it was just silly. I talk to myself in my head all the time and I say similiar things like "well done faggot" when I make a mistake or something, I guess that would be a considered a defense mechanism but I am aware of that so I suppose it's not a mental disorder.

schizos are fucking nuts! that vid is very creepy and disturbing.

I'm just a guy reading the news they feed me, so I'm very curious to hear an experts take on schizophrenia. If it's revealed that they've unlocked some kind of hidden power in the back of their minds, I'd envy them.

The voices inside my head are people too!

Of course it's creepy. However, I thought it would be more disturbing than that.
If you have a vid on posttraumatic stressdisorder, however, with imagery of a rape constantly inflicting with daily life, feel free to post. Let's say you see a fucking bunny, and all of a sudden you have this flash about where you saw the bunny during the rape. Not fun, man. It makes you stay way clear of bunnies.
