Hey folks, before we dive into episode 250 (250!?), please read the title of the episode. With that information fresh in your mind, you need to decide if this is a topic that will trigger you or send you into a blind rage in the comments. If the answer is 'yes', then maybe sit this one out. If the answer is 'no', then enjoy the episode.
You’re sitting alone, and suddenly a voice cuts through the silence. It knows your deepest fears, your hidden shame, and it won’t shut up. It’s not a friend, not your conscience—it’s something else, taunting you, day after day. For millions of people with schizophrenia, this isn’t a thought experiment—it’s their reality. But here’s the kicker: what if those voices aren’t just a glitch in the brain? What if they’re something… more?
Thanks for 250 weeks of weird. We'll see you on the inside..
