I know that this is not a full representation of everyone affected by sz but it is refreshing compared to what is out there on the web. It could be a consequence of what happens when people suffer. They tend to be more considerate or sensitive to other people who suffer.   Anyway, I do not have symptoms of sz but I am interested in the way the mind works and the people here are quite... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/82749/site-nice http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/81380/remembered Wed, 05 Aug 2009 05:30:11 -0400 Daleri One of the "symptoms" that my friend had was that he would have these "prophetic" events were he would have an intuition of something happening just before it happened but at times, it was rather confusing as to which actually happened first. At other times, it was quite convincing. Even so, he has since given up on these kinds of "signs and wonders" because, of course, that has issues of its own for theological reasons. There were many reasons... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/81380/remembered http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78904/phenomenon Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:40:01 -0400 Daleri I can't speak for extreme cases of SZ because I don't know very much about them but I do know some about what would be perhaps the milder of cases. These more mild symptoms of SZ seem to come and go for no apparent reason but there are some things that can be done. Intense concentration and activity do seem to hinder the power or intensity of the voices and hallucinations. A good conscience seems to help a great deal and if you are able to... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78904/phenomenon http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78588/challenge Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:50:53 -0400 Daleri Well after trying to help someone, this person basically threatened to kill me and it was after the person had taken a medication (I forget what it was since I am not that familiar with any medicines, I will find out later). I know the person didn't really mean it but it was just way above my tolerance level. This is someone I know fairly well. I guess I will have to break off communication with this person at least for a while and let time... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78588/challenge http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78458/principle Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:14:16 -0400 Daleri There is a principle in the spirit realm. If you resist the (d)evil, it (he) will flee from you. That seems somewhat of a contradiction to a person with sz symptoms but the problem is that the evil is not being resisted or ignored as it should be. Thoughts can be very alarming and overwhelming. It takes a lot of resisting. Thought patterns and habits of thought have to be changed for the evil to lose its grip. In the thick of things when someone... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78458/principle http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78254/sunday Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:02:08 -0400 Daleri I am going to try to share something. (Don't expect too much) I took my wife out for a drive today and she met up with her sister. We spent the entire afternoon driving and we never found what they were looking for. It would have helped a lot if they had a street name.  LOL! I guess the important thing was the experience. I think I will take a nap now. http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/78254/sunday http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/77074/friend-mine Fri, 03 Jul 2009 06:13:38 -0400 Daleri This friend of mine had a bad experience almost thirty years ago and he doesn't want anyone to know about it because he has about 15 more years before he retires. : ) It took him about four or five years for him to work through his problems but after that, he was able to find a vocation and has been working ever since and he has been at his last job for some twenty years now. The stigma of having such a problem as that is a little much but he... http://www.healthcentral.com/schizophrenia/c/288873/77074/friend-mine
