          I have experience in dealing with someone with that condition. It's exhausting.

          A lot of people with schizophrenia are completely fine once they are put on meds. If they have a good history of always taking them, there's no particular reason to worry.

        most people with schizoidal tendencies need to stay on some sort of medication for the rest of their lives.

        if you are genuinely a schizophrenic you should not have real weapons. one of my childhood friends became a paranoid schizo at age 20 or so. every like 6 months he does some combo of stopping sleeping, stopping his meds, and alcohol abuse (I dunno what comes first) and then he goes blackout psychotic. he is always found by the police roaming the streets or throwing shit around his kitchen yelling insanely etc., and fortunately every time it's happened he has never been armed. however since during these episodes you lose touch with reality/logic, there is really no predicting what you will do. in a delusional state if you had a gun you could easily have a nice day or people you love.

        if officers find you and you are waving around even that little folding knife, they will kill you if you go at them. if you absolutely want a weapon, consider something that police would not consider a deadly threat, like pepper spray. the flashlight is nice too.

        Anon while I appreciate you being honest and forthcoming with your schizo diagnosis, I'll agree with the rest of the thread that you probably shouldn't have an actual firearm. However I would encourage you to acquire a baseball bat, you can be like that BONK anon from a couple years ago, it'll give you a much better result in terms of damage/stopping a threat vs energy spent/proficiency required

        im schizophrenic, don't take any meds, and have over 50 guns. 3-4 times a year i have "episodes" where i see demons for a week straight. Have to sleep with the light on and hug a pillow while keeping my eyes open, big whoop

          Just so you know, you can get medication to take only when you're having an episode, which would basically get rid of it. You don't have to suffer through it.

          Are you even diagnosed. As an insomniac, if I don't knock myself out with something and get minimal sleep, during the day I'll start hearing things, get brain zaps, and sometimes get a vertigo fish eye lens sort of depersonalized perspective. At night I can look forward to hypnogogic jerks, waking dreams where I don't realize I'm in them until something seems off, and sometimes the night hag shows up. She looked like the dancing Ring girl from the Scary Movie parody. Told her to frick off, I'm trying to sleep.

    Get a blind deadbolt for your front door and maybe your bedroom door as well. I had a guy try to lockpick his way into my apartment at midnight.

    A short spear is good, as is any one-handed sword like a cutlass or arming sword. Practice using your weapon, look up the relevant HEMA/fencing videos on youtube, focusing on stance, attacks, measure (distance between you and your opponent), and footwork. If someone breaks in and they have a melee weapon it's likely nothing longer than a machete so you'll be using your reach advantage. If they have a gun, surprise them and strike quick.

    Black powder is also a good idea but I have no experience with it.

    Judging by the pic you don't live alone, probably with family. So thats not really your "front" door, just your bedroom door. You'll hear them kick in your parents front door. You're fine. If you're paranoid (as admitted) brace your door with a chair in the night while in the room. That way when your mom comes to do her nightly "did anon piss himself" check she can't make you take your "skittles" (meds).

      >not using pressure-treated 4x4s
      Well, you were close to good enough. For future reference, regular 2x4s like your picrel can be broken. They tend to be a bit dry & brittle. Pressure treated lumber (even 2x4s) is saturated with brine and chemicals. They are much heavier, often/usually use a stronger base wood, and the moisture content keeps them flexible so they don't crack & break.

      Of course, 1/2"x3" iron slats are even better for a few more dollars.

      If I was as concerned as you seem(ed) to be about living near a drug dealer or similar violence-prone activity, I would have also attached an iron sheet about half the height of that door from face level on down. The door is somewhat secure for pretty much any forced entry, but people can still shoot through it unless it's armored up a bit.

      Bonus in this configuration is that the cross-bars would be set against the iron sheet instead of the wooden door. The regular 2x4s like shown would be more than enough due to distributed force.

      Did you catch all that, OP? Instead of focusing on weapons, see what you can do to seal the doors properly. If someone can't get in, you don't need any weapons. If you shift your focus to shields and protection rather than offensive weapons, your liabilities and opportunities to give people (like law enforcement) a reason to come after you drop off radically. Even knives are not a good idea for your situation.

      What makes you so concerned that someone is going to come through your doors?

        >t. Would-have-er
        Yeah, thanks for the advice, know-nothing.
        Anyone with a brain can ignore him. The plain 2x4 is fine because it provides enough strength to defeat the threats against the door. Combined with reinforcing the door to the jamb and the framing around the door, it provides as much protection as anything in the same format or placing.
        Kicks, battering rams, shoulders etc. Are no longer a threat. If someone was going to cut in. It still achives its purpose: warning. No reinforcement is resistant to everything, chasing that is the task of fools.

        I just get tired of the hypocrisy. Schizophrenia melts your brain but there is no denying the pills zombify you and cause dementia/ed/adhenia/weight gain/withdrawal etc. People talk about "helping" these people but really it's because they see them as an annoyance. I can almost respect the nazis more because at least they didn't mask their contempt under pretenses. Liberals b***h about cops and jails but want the state to violate due process and institutionalize people

        Then you have the flip side where every /misc/gay talks about euthanizing druggies and the mentally ill and normalgays are like this too but then mr normalgay has a tard baby or his otherwise normal son has his first psychotic episode and has a change of heart

        I don't know what the answer is. I've seen just as many families clearly hurt by having a low functioning child that needs to be in a care home but I've also seen many people who could have been okay if society gave a damn.

        I hate the homeless, i love the homeless but I also don't care when the homeless piss on some yuppies EV.

        I don't really know what I'm trying to say here and I'm drunk rn. People are cruel Black folk in general pretending to be saints and everyone is equally a wannnabe Hitler and Jesus except when push comes to shove

        I stepped in human shit and piss three times last month and have fought off schizophrenic meth addicts multiple times so I have zero sympathy for the edgelord nazis or trust fund bleeding hearts. If you want to lock these people away just be honest about why your doing it and if you want to help them actually fricking help them. Homeless, mental health and drug services are a MASSIVE racket and I will never not say Reagan was right to shut down the asylums but also be honest about the fact that you just can't help some people

          Oh absolutely, but I do disagree that some people are beyond help, it is only that the methods of help are not currently understood. I understand that that is effectively the same thing, de facto, but I do think these solutions could have been found by now if two things had happened. Psychology should have been dismissed outright for being a complete waste of time, and psychiatry should have only ever focused on curing the disease instead of masking the symptoms.
          Unfortunately there isn't as much profit in fixing problems as there is in moderating them.
          It's a sad state of affairs for sure that unlikely will see any improvement, if anything degradation, in the coming years.

            agreed, it's a complete pseudoscience. At the same time, let's abolish sociology, which is just psychology on a grander scale.
            >psychiatry should have only ever focused on curing the disease instead of masking the symptoms.
            the problem here is that psychiatrists are limited by our current knowledge of neurology, and it's difficult to advance knowledge in that field because it's virtually impossible to perform experiments in an ethical manner.

          There is no choice with the pills. It’s either they are sedated zombies or they are 28 days later zombies running around and getting themselves/others hurt. Imagine an unmedicated psychotic schizo driving his car around. The pills suck because the disease is like cancer, it’s poorly understood how to stop it.

            I'm merely expressing sympathy for societies most vulnerable and expressing my disdain for those who virtue signal or try to sweep the issue under the rug under the guise of altruism where the most charitable interpretation is sacrificing the individual for the good of the group despite the normalized abuse you condone in the name of this eventually being used against said group as a whole. You just compartmentalize everything away but your talking about human lives. These people do have god given rights as much as you like to pretend otherwise
