thanks, but if you are familiar with schizophrenia I assume you also know that you can be also split in your head, not essentially meaning you have to have different personalities as in total different characters. It is already enough to have mood swings as an epiphenomenon or just simply changes in mindset which make you appear like being a different person from time to time. In a mildly similar way to a Borderline disorder, just saying, similar, not in any way the same. But as far as I've studied it a lot of Borderliners are wrongfully diagnosed with schizophrenia or the other way around...
So simply brain chaos that doesn't let you know what you want and brain chaos which leads you to the alienation from reality.
At least that's the way professors and doctors have sort of explained it... hope I managed to bring across what I meant without leading you into the whole wrong direction the image did Sorry about that.

I don't understand. Can you explain it to me a different way? I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. So I know the way my doctor explained it to me is that you have two or more reality.

Well pretty much that. Not knowing what is real or what not. Not being sure whether your friends are your friends or whether they are just pretending (being distrustful in this way), schizophrenia often comes with anxiety, you will probably know and that's what can make your mind go crazy. Not being sure as in what to believe is having two or more realities. It is just easier to express it with more people (the same person) in one picture, standing in different places, seing reality from different angles. As I said before, it doesn't certainly have to mean it is three different people inside of one person.. it's rather you, seing reality from different kinda angles... and not being sure which one to believe or trust the most.

Oh ok I understand it now. Thanks. I used to talk to the walls cause I was afraid to make them mad. I also used to believe I was part demon. Is that what you mean by different reality?

Anything can happen in your brain. But yes, that's examples of what can happen. I know people with a very different kind of schizophrenia, they associate it more to people if you know what I mean.
