I was on Facebook and found this post shared in a group I’m in. That’s my grandfather.

I could tell you a lot of stories but the most important one is that he was an undiagnosed schizophrenic. There are stories I can’t even tell because I have to wait for more people to die first.

I’ve heard him on Coast to Coast and seen a number of interviews with him in the alien conspiracy industry. But not one of them ever mentioned, and he never volunteered, that he was an undiagnosed schizophrenic.

Remember this when you hear people speaking with authority about things they can’t back up.

        Ah. Understandable. Dude was literally in the ER and the doc wanted to remove the hearing aid debris that was stranded in his ear canal. He is screaming that they can’t do it because the aliens will stop talking to him telepathically. Even though the aliens had been talking to him telepathically for decades before he got hearing aids.

        Eventually his wife, my grandma, has finally, after all these decades, had enough and told him that if he didn’t let these docs remove the debris that was causing extensive pain that she was going to leave him. He would have died within days without her because he didn’t know how to cook a TV dinner or have any other other essential life skills. He finally caved. The voices did not stop.

          Fair enough. I wasnt asking because I wanted to throw shade, it was a genuine question, as I have never knowingly been around schizophrenia, and I dont know that I could diagnose it if I was.

            It’s a unique disease. Very clear diagnostic criteria.

            Though he didn’t have one normal trait. Did you know that almost 90% of schizophrenics smoke? It’s not diagnostic but that’s a really high rate given that only 1% of the population is schizophrenic yet they account for 5% of smokers.
