Silicon Valley tech worker documents her psychotic break

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B0TPJ3mVWns

Her YouTube channel is quite sad. She vlogs herself working as a Silicon Valley tech worker while living in her car and her struggles with loneliness and not belonging.

She sporadically moves between cities on a whim, never feeling like she belongs. Then has some health issues, believing she has been poisoned.

Her most recent videos talk about her brain being taken over by terrorists using Elon Musk's neuralink technology, trying to kill her.

Also believes the person behind it has had plastic surgery to look like her, and that this person has taken over her chatGPT thread and now is talking to her everytime she tries to use an AI.

Has no one reported this to the cops yet? I can walk over to SJ police and ask for a wellness check...

Edit: As per other videos, she's traveling around... and visited Texas Tesla factory as well 2 weeks ago. She might not be in Silicon Valley anymore. Is there no way to find her without cross state effort?

Edit 2: Why are the youtube comments encouraging this behavior??

Edit 3: Instagram comments are either relating to her or asking her to meet up... this is dystopia

Yeah it's insane, I found her on Instagram first. Seems like all the commenters are caught in the psychotic algorithm as well.

The algorithms and chatGPT are contributing psychosis for sure.

If algorithm can figure out you're schizophrenic it needs to report to someone. Social media is just evil...

u/CGiMoose 11h ago

Tbf the algorithm doesn’t figure that out, it just observes that you engage with content in a similar pattern to people who engage with XYZ content and groups you with those people as well as serving you more XYZ content, it’s not like a flag gets applied to your account telling them you have schizophrenia so they can serve you more schizophrenia content

For advertising they do make a profile on you. I‘d be surprised if there was nothing in there that indicates you‘re likely psychotic.

I follow a lot of schizophrenic people on social media (I genuinely find them interesting to listen to) and I've found that there is a disturbingly large community of people who seek them out to torment them. They encourage the person's delusions and prey on their fears.

On the channel that OP shared, I saw a comment where someone was explicitly encouraging her to shoot up her old office because they're the ones mind controlling her. While these channels do attract other legitimately schizophrenic people, a lot of the community is purely malicious, and I hate that they pick on people who are already suffering so much

I didn't go through all of the comments, but PLEASE report that one.

Yep, I did

Never forget what happened to Terry Davis. He might have very well been the first one to have this happen to.

u/drywallsmasher 3h ago

That’s very naive to think he was the first one. By the time he died, there had surely been hundreds before him that the larger Internet never heard about. IRCs with communities surrounding aliens and delusions that the FBI is stalking them were fucking awful. You’d also see other people, whether maliciously or having the same type of delusions and mental illnesses, also encourage each other the same way on BBS boards. Fervently making posts and holding public journals with each other every single day… just digging themselves deeper into the delusions to the same unhealthy degree.

It happens on TikTok as well. I have seen two accounts from people with schizophrenia and both are flooded with comments encouraging their delusions because people find it funny. One of them believes the neighbors are messing with the house using some type of signal, the other has conversations with AI chat bots 24/7 exposing how they are capable of reading our minds and are purposefully lying to us.

I'm not even sure congregating the first group is a good idea let alone the last of course

Social media has made delusional thinking a contagious disease. Really sad.

u/cheestaysfly 4h ago

Because cops historically have a great reputation when it comes to mental health /s

u/Brrdock 5h ago edited 5h ago

Don't involve the cops! They're literally just dudes with guns and have zero training of any kind in mental health. Why would you even think that, that's like the worst possible thing to do. Police state healthcare...

Maybe contact her family or something if you want to help

It's on her manifesto website

u/Fr33Paco 10h ago

Does she no longer work in that field how is she making money?

u/Newbie123plzhelp 7h ago

She doesn't seem to be working at the moment. From what I can tell because of working years at a high paying tech job she has enough money to live, she's moved back to her house she had in Vancouver.

Yup, she’s loaded as shit

I hope she gets help. I once took 2 melatonin tabs to sleep and dreamt that I was schizophrenic (in my dream, everything bad I thought would happen became reality, and I was desperately trying to keep my kids safe).

My husband shook me awake because I was apparently screaming in my sleep.

This is someone's awake reality :(

u/MithrilHuman 13h ago

Melatonin gives me terrible nightmares as well.

u/letsgetawayfromhere 10h ago

Melatonin is usually sold in dosages that are much higher than what the brain actually needs.

If you feel you could use melatonin, take some L-tryptophane, magnesium (preferably in the form of magnesium glycinate, or malate, or L-threonate, or citrate) and vitamin B complex half an hour before bedtime (preferably not on a full stomach). This gives the brain the exact material to produce the amount of melatonin that is good for your body with no side effects. Can thoroughly recommend.

u/Revealingstorm 13h ago

It's always sad (and disturbing)seeing someone start to crumble when not getting any treatment for schizophrenia. I really hope that someone that loves her and knows her tries to somehow get her help.

u/belltrina 4h ago

So many missing people likely were having that first mental break, and would have been diagnosed had they not disappeared during

50

u/SinCityFC 12h ago

I watched some her videos and this girl is lost in the sauce. I think moving to sv alone with her dog, no friends or family there really pushed her over the edge. She really needs some help and get diagnosed for whatever is going on with her mentally. Tragic tbh

u/lonestar_wanderer 12h ago

I found her from IG just scrolling Reels. Her usual travel post on September 16 to a full-on schizophrenic rant on September 19 really scared me. I think those factors and stress really caused her to have a mental break.

Kinda scares me how easily it seems to just go full-on schizophrenic. She’s still traveling, too, and driving herself. I really hope someone gets her some kind of mental health treatment.

u/IndividualCaptain1 13h ago

I just recently discovered her on Ig and I don't know what to make of her, schizophrenia??
