For instance, I once woke up during the night and couldn&#8217;t move. I was in the same position as Christ on the cross, and I was convinced that I was talking with God. I was experiencing a lot of sensations: warmth, cold, and pleasure (A LOT; I&#8217;ve never experienced such a thing again). I thought I was the first to discover the solution to the &#8216;riddle&#8217; created by God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Then I asked God when I would be able to play with him, and he told me we already did. Then, I saw vivid memories of playing poker with my father and my brother and playing Mario Kart with my brother. He also told me that I was very lucky to have my grandmothers, who were very brave (both lost their husbands).&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I asked him if we were alone in the universe, and he said yes, but we&#8217;d let everybody think the contrary. My life was suddenly more exciting (as you can imagine), but I asked him if I could also live the life of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/eleanorbate\/accurate-af-sorting-quiz\">Harry Potter<\/a> and Superman, and he told me, laughing, &#8216;Of course. Everything you want.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I asked him if he existed, and he said yes, no, yes, no&#8230;yes. And then I fell asleep. The day after, I was convinced that I could communicate via telepathy. And my parents had me hospitalized.<\/p>\n<p>Another time, I walked in the woods at night, amazed by the beauty of the lake, the trees, and the sound of the wind. I got rid of my shoes and put my feet in the mud. Then, I saw a rabbit and ran after him, convinced I was in some kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/kaileyhansen\/famous-cartoon-cats\"><i>Alice in Wonderland<\/i><\/a> world. Then I sat on a bench, and a hedgehog came towards me, and I touched it. Then I went back home with my filthy shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Another time, I left the house convinced that I was a spy for Google, so I threw away all my credit cards and left with only my Android phone, aiming for their headquarters in Paris. During my walk, I changed my mind when Google Maps showed me a map of the UK. My attention went to some city in Scotland. I remembered a PhD offer about optogenetics tools (I was recently awarded a master of engineering degree) that I had seen on the web a few days earlier. So, I decided to follow the highway. Then, heavy rain began to fall, and I had this urge to moonwalk until I reached my goal. I&#8217;ve never moonwalked that well. Later, some policemen found me on the side of the road and began asking me questions, but I wouldn&#8217;t answer because I was convinced I was John Doe, the hero of a TV series, so I wasn&#8217;t supposed to remember who I was. They didn&#8217;t take very long before sending me to a hospital.<\/p>\n<p>I have a few more of these anecdotes, but I would never share most of them because they are too humiliating.<\/p>\n<p><b>Now, the negative symptoms.<\/b> It&#8217;s a lot less funny. It&#8217;s pretty simple, actually: I lose all motivation. Imagine having to shower and feeling as if you have to climb Mount Everest or learn the Bible by heart. That&#8217;s what it feels like. I&#8217;m currently experiencing this phase. It&#8217;s been months since I last wanted to see friends, learn things, and find a job. My life is empty; I do nothing, and I just hope that my brain will find its balance one day. I found the motivation to write this because I think society is very rude to people suffering from psychiatric issues. We aren&#8217;t all violent psychopaths. It&#8217;s a small minority. I&#8217;m not lazy, either. I have a disease. And no, unfortunately, drugs aren&#8217;t the quick fix everybody thinks they are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Anonymous<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/hannahdobro\/people-talk-about-having-schizophrenia\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9. &#8220;When I&#8217;m experiencing positive symptoms, I feel like I&#8217;m the main protagonist of a good novel \u2014 a novel you should read without any critical thinking.
