I thank you so much. I can't even begin to tell you how I thought I was possessed by a demon. I experience about 90% of what you explain. I have contacted my psychiatrist and he has changed my medication and I will be seeing him next week. I have been lying to all medical professionals, thinking all this would go away after I stopped using drugs and alcohol. Now being sober and still having hallucinations and delusions, watching all your videos. I realize. I have schizophrenia. Now it's time to work with my health providers to get the proper and correct diagnosis. Once again I thank you for your educational videos. If you don't think they work. Just know, you have changed my life in a matter of weeks. Grateful, I now know what's truly wrong with me.

My Loved one won’t talk about his schizophrenia with me so I watch as many of your videos as possible so that I know how to help and understand. I also tell everyone that has someone in their life who has these challenges about your videos. 💜

I just joined the Patreon, I don't have schizophrenia (or much money) but I am so impressed and grateful that you exist and help people the way you do, and I want to help you help the rest of the planet. You're brave as hell and a boon to humanity, thank you! (And I love the haircolor!)

I suffer from schizoaffective disorder too!! Mine is the bipolar type! Thank you for being so open in talking about this disorder! I feel less alone in this battle!! We will fight and we will win! We are not our disorder! We have a disorder but we can’t let it define us!! ☺️😘❤️ also I love your new hair cut and color! So cute!! Looks good!

Your insight and ability to clearly explain your experience of hallucinations is going to help so many people. Thank you for the work you do to take the stigma out of mental health differences! PS - Love your hair! 😁

i'm a Medical doctor and i find your videos really helpful. it's educating and accurate.i learned some new things that i didn't know at all! stay well and happy.

I have a mental illness (not schizophrenia) and I always felt it a weakness and such shame attached. This honesty and openness is wonderful. You have changed so many lives. Thank you xx

I have schizophrenia as well. I have visual and auditory hallucinations. This was spot on. Much love to you.

Can’t get over how wonderful that hair color looks on you 😍

I have schizophrenia and I started hallucinating when I was about 15. I was looking into the walls and it was like there was a whole other world in there. I would hear the sounds, too. I can identify with myself smelling bad. I have the same thing. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

This is the first time I’ve heard hallucinations described as an entity that you can not see but your brain can. Thank you so so much, I’ve been told I could be schizophrenic but that my symptoms sound more “religious” in nature. Your videos give me the courage to go forward and find someone who will really help me.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on hallucinations. This helps me a lot. Also, I just want to say that I love your new hair color.

Your videos are a godsend! 🙏 I watch them all even though I suffer from severe depression/anxiety, not schizophrenia; but just knowing that yourself and others struggle with brain “malfunction” makes it infinitely easier to keep on going. Knowing I’m not alone is everything! Thank you so much for your vulnerability in sharing your experiences. It is so, so helpful! ❤️❤️❤️

I know that I've said this on a few of your videos but you've helped me so much in understanding what's going on in my wifes mind. We've been married for 8 years and I swear I've learned more about her since I found your channel than I ever had in all the years I've known her. What you describe is always so similar to her situation. So thank you for helping us and so many others. You're literally a lifesaver.

Your videos have helped me understand the disorder so much more when I was diagnosed, but it also helped my family understand me more. My biggest hallucination lately is feeling spider webs all over my body. My eye lashes will form into spiderwebs, I’ll try and pull them off my face even.

Call sheet is so well Spoken in knowledgeable on this subject I really think she would do a great Ted talk on schizophrenia

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia 25 years ago it's nice in this day and age to see someone like yourself that is so well at articulating your condition I used to call it a curse we need to see it as a blessing and there are reasons for it we must learn from it 😇

I'm in tears watching this, I've questioned so many experiences that finally add up a little better thanks to this video. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.

I absolutely love the information you're providing about hallucinations - when I had an episode of psychosis, I feel like I had one of those moments where I didn't actually see anything, but I was reacting to this nothing as if it was there. I also really love how your hair matches your chair and the pink on the pictures in the background; the color palette of the whole video is just super nice. C:
