Living on imageboards as a schizo can often be a difficult experience. Not only do you have to deal with the voices and paranoia, but you also have a much harder time interacting with other members of the board.

While living as a Schizo on an imageboard may initially provide an escape from the difficulties of reality, it is not without its costs.

The Schizo begins to develop a sense of misanthropy. This causes them to isolate from their peers, and they begin to develop even more severe mental issues.

The Schizo may start to believe in insane things, such as aliens and government conspiracies. This, of course, only serves to exacerbate their already troubled mental state.

This can spiral into worse and worse conditions, until the Schizo can no longer function in society, and is forced to be isolated even further, causing a vicious cycle of paranoia and mistrust to be formed.

This cycle of paranoia and mistrust can have devastating effects on the mental health of the Schizo. They often become reclusive, and their social skills deteriorate rapidly. They may also suffer from anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

In the most extreme cases, a Schizo may be so overcome by paranoia and mistrust, that their only option is to (((take their own life))). This is an incredibly tragic and disturbing scenario, but it does not have to be unavoidable.

While it is difficult for a Schizo to escape the cycle of paranoia, anxiety, and mistrust, it is not impossible. One possible solution is for the Schizo to seek professional help, such as a counselor or therapist.

This can give the Schizo the tools they need to overcome their anxiety and paranoia, and make it easier for them to reintegrate into society as a functional member.

In more severe cases, the Schizo may need to be institutionalized temporarily, until they are able to manage their mental health in a more stable way.

While institutionalized, there are a number of treatment plans the Schizo can take to recover from their abnormal mental state. One of these is giving them their meds, usually by force.

While forcefeeding Schizos meds may seem extreme, it is an effective way to combat this problem. The Schizo may be resistant to this treatment at first, but after sustained usage, they will begin to see their conditions improve.

In addition, there are also many other ways to treat Schizos, such as getting them to eat bugs and live in the pod, and to own nothing and be happy. These tactics are effective in improving the mental health of the Schizo, and should always be considered as part of a holistic treatment plan.
