[pureminmge]

So recently i have been living in deja vu it started like a month ago when i was chilling in the barracks with three other guys and for some reason out of nowhere i think this has happened before then two other things pop into my head does god exist and after that my brain goes it doesnt matter. then my vision starts like flashing like im watching everything through a film like my vision is strobing, my heart starts beating hard not fast just hard then this creepy high pitched voice goes in my head does god exist? am i in hell? do i exist? the questions repeat back to me mockingly as i think them then i start having flash forwards and i see myself lieing dead in my barracks and the voice repeats in my head im dieing im dieing then i see a vision of a pizza slice in my hand and i remember seeing that before i was trying to think why it looked so familiar. so then i like wake up and leave them and go to my room then i go to medical to see if something is wrong like internally and everything came back fine. so i dismiss it and then like 2 weeks ago i was sitting with this girl everything was cool then what i talked about previously happened again philosophical questions strobing vision with the pizza in my hand that i talked about earlier freaked me out beyond anything she noticed something wrong from the start and i start going on talking that i relived my life once before. and now i see visions of me seeing myself from behind...and i think im going to leave my body while im standing by a truck like i hear this beeping noise and i ask this person next to me if she hears it then my brain goes this haas happened before and then i know what happens after this and i just leave my body while im standing there this vision freaks me out im scared beyond belief. when i was younger i had deja vu and i just started crying and now i think i see why.

First of all, what you are describing is not deja vu. It is a much more serious chemical imbalance in the brain - that's why you're hearing stuff and crying.

I'd talk to a mental health professional. This is a recurring episode, possibly bipolar disorder.

It can be quite serious, but it's treatable with medications and therapy.

If you don't know where to reach one, your regular doctor or a clinic can tell you where you need to go.

It's worth it to get help.

I heard several mentions of deja vu in the text, so give the man a chance.

So recently i have been living in deja vu ...

How many times has this happened?

Does it go all the way back to your childhood?
How old are you?

Could you try to describe the episodes better?
One at a time (and a few line breaks in the text would help )

 

[angellous_evangellous]

I did. He's simply not describing deja vu.

There's a definition for it, you know. And his description doesn't fit the definition.

There's also definitions for chemical imbalaces in the brain that fit precisely what he describes, and a only a specialist can properly diagnose and treat it. I don't say it to be mean or some such thing, but because for a variety of reasons I take mental illness very seriously and it could make a real difference in his life if he sought out and got help.

I would tend to agree with this analysis.

Precisely.


That said, I agree with your recommendations. I was going to post something to that effect when I first read the OP. At the very least, the fellow should contact either a doctor or a counselor for advice, rather than making a post seeking input. That action, in and of itself, does not bode well, imo.

If medical tests came back normal, sit back a moment and take a breath. You don't have a brain tumor; you're not dying of some weird disease. You're okay for the moment, and that's good.

I do recommend seeing a therapist... several of them, in fact, to get multiple opinions and to find someone who fits your personality. Trust me, there are therapists out there who are idiots, and sometimes it takes a few tries to find someone to help you. I don't think you're crazy, and going to a therapist doesn't mean you're crazy. It just means you need advice. Just because you see and hear things doesn't mean you're insane or somehow broken and need fixing... but if it's bothering you and causing problems, it needs to be figured out.

... Also, just saying. Some people don't have immediate access to a doctor, so asking for input is sometimes all a person can do.

As for the deja vu thing:

"...the experience of feeling sure that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are uncertain and were perhaps imagined."

If someone gets the feeling like they're been there, done that and it's familiar for some odd reason, that is deja vu, even if the rest of it certainly isn't.

Considering that Pure said "chilling in the barracks" indicates being in the military, and there may be problems finding a therapist as you suggest.

Going back to the doctor and saying something like, "Hey, look, this isn't going away. I need something else," would be my suggestion.

 

[atropine]

Damn, that is true. Still, the military should have therapists available...? I wouldn't know, so I apologize I'm wrong.

 

[angellous_evangellous]

I am a ******* genius.

 

[HerDotness]

I don't know either, but I've heard it said in the media that there's still something of a stigma in the military about asking for help for mental health concerns. That old mindset of "just a coward trying to get a medical discharge" reportedly still holds sway somewhat.

Also, I can see that a person could really feel s/he was letting down fellow soldiers by admitting to this type of weakness.

We civilians have much more leeway for seeking help for this sort of thing, I think, although I hope that I'm poorly informed and that the military is much more open to personnel seeking help than I'm aware.

Sounds like classic Schizophrenia to me.

 

[atropine]

Schizophrenia is a set of symptoms, combined with distress, a lack of function and/or harming one's self or others. Just because someone has some symptoms doesn't mean they have Schizophrenia. Besides, Schizophrenia is such a catch-all term for "you're acting weird and we don't know why" that it's... not so useful.

I call it the "mind races" when the scenes start flashing rapidly in your head. You have the sense of deja vu, as if it's happened before? You may begin to remember things from your past.

First thing I would suggest is to relax. You are completely normal. Not normal as others but exactly who you are supposed to be. I would suggest that you try to keep this all to yourself until you find someone to talk to that is older and understands what you are going through. There's nothing for you to be afraid of but others won't understand, especially the military.

Don't assume that the supposed "future events" that you see are really going to happen, they may or may not. Also, please don't assume that the voices you are hearing are demons or even angels. They're personalities. They may have good intentions or bad intentions but you are always in charge. This connection you have may disconnect at some point or it may become greater.

As for seeing a mental health professional, well, if you can function with it and control it and don't feel the need to do something harmful I would say not to at this point but only if you can control it. I don't know what your job is in the military but "hearing voices" pretty much makes you a loose cannon and lack of control is something the military cannot accept of it's members. If you really, really, want it to stop there are medications that may help but to me it's like painting a flower.

Friend SU,

Thank you for your beautiful response to this old post.
Am sure the OP would have been satisfied with the response but surprisingly the OP never visited RF after his one and only post!

Love & rgds

The original person may not return to see this but someone else might.

 

[zenzero]

Friend SU,

Yes, exactly as having done that found your response best suited for the OP and it is unfortunate that he never returned to RF!
Am sure others in similar position may find it very useful. Thanks once again!

Love & rgds

You know I've heard of post traumatic war syndromes that describe similar events.

Bi-polar and schizophrenia might play a factor in this (I've been diagnosed as both) and I do often experience thoughts that literally send tremors throughout my body. And I do often get the feeling of "deja vu", and I even accurately experienced events that I would of otherwise just seen as a "new experience". But I don't think any of this really describes deja vu, as it involved "prediction" (used loosely) and the feeling that "you've been here before".

Have you been through any dramatic experience, or have you experienced anything "out of the normal"?

I heard a story once that a group of soldiers were in their barracks, playing cards when a fellow soldier that they had been touring with for several months approached them and asked if they could talk. The soldier handed a letter to another soldier in the group and asked that if anything happened to him if he could tell his wife and kids that he loves them. A few days later the group had not seen or heard of this soldier, so they decided to go this soldier's commanding officer or whatever to be informed that this man actually died four days prior to the even they experienced.

I don't know what much else to say, its kind of creepy just thinking about it. But I've never had experiences like that, and most of the experiences I do have that are similar I question and I still do to this day. And my best guess leads me to believe that we won't ever stop experiencing things like this until the day we face our maker. And even then, I don't think we will be alone. Our brain and minds are capable of doing great things, and if someone wants to be deceived others, and more importantly, the self will go great lengths to do this. Our mind can play tricks on us, and our senses can flooded of their reliability in moments of despair.

Stay safe, and think healthy thoughts!

So...Ive gone through similar things, even right now. I wrote a lot down in strange ways and i still have a majority of all of it. I have been to 2 mental hospitals and still have not gotten a proper diagnosis. Fiesta they say im depresses, then scitzofrenia, then scitzo-symantic dissorder. Ive seen things and have heard many things.

I questioned if i was alive, who kills me, the list goes on and on, but it all make me lose my grip on reality. I tore up a lot of original artowork and put it in a box (did stuff to the box inside and out) then i took it all to a budest temple, bad things happened to me that day but the strange thing was major parts were deja vu and the dream of it was playing in my mind and i changed the responses and outcomes of what happened in the dream but in real life. I still see a psyc Dr and i go to therapy.

What got me through it was searching deep inside myself. There is actually a lot of psyc help for millitary. What color is it when u are watching yourself?

What many people don't understand is that when/if an angel or a demon speaks to a person, you don't have to automatically do what they tell you. Man has complete control over his actions and all an angel or a demon is is an advisor or was an advisor, much like a counselor at school or work or elsewhere. What pop culture assumes is that angels and demons are extremely powerful and will make a person do what they with but it's simply nit true. When God made all of existence, He put man above angels and demons. However, I'm not saying that these beings don't have power in their dominions but the only power they have in our dominion is that of influencing decisions, they don't have the power to force a decision into fruition. It's all up to a person to make something happen or not happen IMO
