  • That's great, but the issue is promotion of this type of media and its bias which favors the police. Your personal experience is encouraging, but does not refute the issue as a whole

  • I have a hard time watching the news now too. News outlets only show "good news" which is the administration succeeding, which hurts. I want stories of hope.

  • good comment.

  • You know it this soldier was drafted? He may not have had a choice in the matter

  • Yes, as a Westerner I'd agree with the study's findings. The people I hear are harsh, not mirthful.

    And I am struck by this:

    the voices were an intrusion and a threat to one’s private world – the voices could not be controlled.

    It's an invasive feeling, like an outsider in your head, digging around for things that hurt and embarrass you, then saying those things aloud. It makes you powerless, all you can do is sit there while someone yells out your most shameful thoughts, and there's no stopping them.

  • I've seen this before, but after a re-read, I found this:

    In an interview, Luhrmann said that American clinicians “sometimes treat the voices as if they ... should be ignored. Our work found that ... the way people pay attention to their voices alters what they hear their voices say. That may have clinical implications.”

    Yes, definitely. The people I hear are only ever critical or offensive, and "they" have learned what's most hurtful to me. If I start paying attention to their echoes of financial worry, they get louder and more forceful. There's something going on in my brain that learns what's most painful to me, and amplifies it to cause pain.

  • schizophrenia here, my inner monologue is often conversational, like a string of words I'd speak to a person. and if I listen closely, I hear faintly a man or woman repeating the thought out loud, with emotion like confusion or contempt

  • no but I get phantom bed movements and think it's my cat jumping up

  • What on Earth do you think is going to happen if we stand up to a militarized police force larger than the world has ever seen? You're telling us to "stand up and fight" against a 30-trillion dollar army of bloodthirsty armed pseudo-soldiers.

    I don't want or expect your pity. But I would like you to try for empathy, if you can muster it. Good luck.
