There are seriously disturbed people out there.

This is very similar to another video on VS where a woman thinks groups of people are gang-stalking her. She records people riding bikes and driving down the street and she's convinced they are all there just to circle back and forth watching her. (Link anyone?)

Holy crap. I feel really bad for anyone with that serious of a ... I don't know, "condition"? That has to be something more than just paranoia.

it's actually a common symptom of psychosis, called paranoia or a delusion of reference.

OK, now if we are truly wanting to stop the insane from killing others, someone needs figure out who and where this woman is and have law enforcement commit her involuntarily. This is the kind of warning we wish others had noticed before untold numbers of insane massacres. I hope she's been contacted and had all her firearms and explosives removed. Otherwise I fear we'll be hearing about her shooting up and burning down the post office, and soon.

I have watched several videos from her (now dead) Youtube channel and she is completely delusional. Paranoid schizophrenic for sure.

She thinks the janitors at her apartment are stalking her, all mailmen are stalking her, the cars in the parking lot across from her apartment are ganging up on her, bingo night is a trap for young kids to be molested and the construction crews outside her new psychiatric facility were sent to block her access.

She records all license plate numbers she sees and swears that she sees them multiple times. She verbally attacks people for coughing at her and for calling her crazy.

I am truly scared for her and she has the potential to do some very bad things if provoked. It turns out her user account has been terminated.

There are countless people like this woman who dip in and out of psychosis but are without violent tendencies. In fact, there are very few crazies like this one out there who actually do have violent tendencies. This woman is probably going to torture herself with these delusions all her life, but it is very unlikely that she is ever going to cause another person harm as a result of them.

or she's trolling?

Nice vibe in the comments!

Better lock all these "Crazies" away so they aint no danger to us normal folks.

Yeah. Ok, I'm hyperbolising. (its an actual word apparently!) but I do get a little tired of people equating sufferers of a mental illness to potential murderers. Many thousands manage to struggle through their lives with these or similar disabilities without killing anybody. Try not to add this stigma to the list of their troubles. Ty.

Adding video to channels (Wheels) - requested by ant.

Yeah.... we need to help people like this. Not lock them away. Homosexuality used to be considered a "mental illness" that would result in a lifetime of institutionalization as well. I sincerely hope no one here would have been on the bandwagon for that back in the day either.

While I think the analogy you used is a bit flawed (since paranoia IS a mental illness), I do agree with you. The path of compassion always produces better results than the path of judgment, because while the intent of the latter is to hurt an individual until he or she can't hurt anybody else, the intent of the former is to heal the individual until he or she simply WON'T hurt anybody else.

This can also be evidenced in the constant failure of the American legal system, and especially its prisons, which mostly produces individuals who cannot return to normal society because their stay in prison made them even more broken than they were when they first went in.

That's right pumpkin, laugh and point at the schizophrenic lady....That's right everyone who voted this post up, laugh and giggle at your futures.

and how could I possibly have known blankfist would cast his vote with the poke-fun balloteers?? I need a life?!
Blow me.

It's really unfair to accuse everyone who upvoted of laughing and pointing at her.

Most of the comments indicate compassion or consideration for the woman's unfortunate mental state.

I do feel like the video combined with the words insane and crazy, which were used in the title and description to describe this mentally ill women, defiantly gives more of a pointing and laughing feel then anything to do with empathy, compassion or understanding for this women. I don't necessarily agree with chings strong opinion but I can see where hes coming from.

And what is there to understand? she accusing random strangers of staking her, that is the definition of insane, and crazy. Shes a tiny step away from attacking these random strangers. she needs treatment yes, but her treatment will take years, possibly decades. If you, or anybody were to try and talk to her and "understand" her, she would repay you with accusations of stalking and wanting to do her harm. she needs to be committed.

Since when is "crazy" or "insane" a dirty, mean word you can not use for mentally ill people? She is clearly not ok in the head, her behaviour meets the exact definition of "crazy" and "insane". It's not like she has a severe case of depression, then it would be inappropriate, she is cleary delusional.
However, I certainly don't like the idea represented here that she might become a homicidal maniac, that she's a ticking timebomb that needs defusing. She may be scary but that doesn't mean she's automatically dangerous. I'd rather worry about all the drunk people with car keys in their pockets.
What this lady needs is help by professionals and not simply be thrown in an institution. She isn't a broken toy that you store in the attic, she needs treatment and certainly medication. Dragging her out of her house and throwing her in a padded cell won't make her paranoia better.

I upvoted the post because I find it fascinating to be allowed to see things from the eyes of a paranoid schizophrenic, not because I want to laugh at her misfortune.

For those that might find the words "insane" and "crazy" offensive, I have edited the title and video description.

I feel sorry for both people here. In her mind he is really stalking her and that's got to be scary. For him he just has no clue what is going on.

She's white so it doesn't matter. Move along, false bleeding heart. Your princess is in another hell.

I feel I can say with some authority that having worked with (primarily) schizophrenic patients for the last 3 years that you don't have the slightest clue what your talking about.

"She's a tiny step away from attacking these random strangers......she needs to be committed"

Yup, there's absolutely no hint here that she's the vulnerable one most likely to actually end up hurt or taken advantage of. (it's not like only around 10% (UK) of sufferers act violently) Better watch out for that crazy lady people! She's probably got an axe at home and everything....

"If you, or anybody were to try and talk to her and "understand" her, she would repay you with accusations of stalking and wanting to do her harm"

So you know her personally then? Maybe you read her case file instead? I'm sure you'd never make such an outrageously deep personal judgement about someone based on only a few video's clearly shot only during psychotic episodes!
Naturally you must have taken the time to find out what she's like when she's calm and comfortable and how her condition has developed over her lifetime, I mean what kind of colossally judgemental anus would make a sweeping character judgement without doing that? Not you I'm sure

So tell me. Has she had any cognitive behavioural therapy? Did she respond well? How frequently has she suffered episodes in the past? Is this a recent condition? What medication is she on? What kind of family support does she have? Has she ever committed a serious violent act in the past? Does she have friends? Is there any history of self harm, eating disorders, learning difficulties? Has she ever displayed suicidal ideation? Has she been institutionalised in the past? How did she respond to that? Has she ever refused treatment? ETC. ETC. ETC!!!!

"And what is there to understand?"

Yeh what's there to try and understand about the personal complexities of another human beings anguish? Clearly she just needs to be locked up in Bedlam and drugged with all the other crazies!.........
...........Disgusted beyond words

^ Just to be clear people with Schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions do have an elevated risk of committing violent acts. It's about 20% of pre diagnosed patients and around 9% of post treatment/diagnosis patients. As opposed to around 1-2% of the "normal" population.

The only big exception to this is in hospital itself where it can rise as high as 50%, however this is pretty well understood to be a product of the environment and circumstances (i.e. you are forcibly being held against your will). It's also one of the reasons you managed to evoke such hostility from me, the idea that people should just be committed/sectioned because they appear somewhat unstable is one that causes a great deal more harm that good.
There are people that are a genuine danger to themselves and or others when in the grips of an "episode", such people are why mental health sections exist, however extreme care and attention must be applied when considering someone who has yet to commit an "index offence".

If she's attacked people (or herself) before when displaying the same symptoms fine, if she has a history of refusing reasonable treatment fine, if she goes and attacks someone fine. But you can't just go around locking people up because they behave strangely. For all we know this lady has never hurt anyone and is not likely to do so, you can't make the kind of judgements your making without fully understanding the patient and the nature of their condition.
There are people I work with you'd instantly label as crazy and possibly dangerous. One guy has a trait of sometimes staring hard at you (esp strangers) while talking intensely under his breath to himself. If you saw him doing that to you and you'd never met him you'd probably shit yourself a bit (I know I did) but the dude is about as gentle as they come! He'd only ever act violently if you cornered him while he was confused and even then probably not. (never been a problem in the 2 years I worked with him)

I'm not saying this lady definitely isn't in any way dangerous, or even that it might not be better to taker her in under a section. I'm simply saying that making assumptions like that is extremely damaging both to the sufferers and to our ability to understand and help them.

Now the whole Gay/Lesbian/Transgender thing has started to become a normal part of our culture mental health is the perhaps one of the last great bullshit taboos left.

Their not crazies, THEIR FUCKING PEOPLE!!!

And I know this because I've yet to meet a truly "sane" human in my life.

You doth protest a bit much about schizophrenia, chungilaaeria.

As Freud put it, insanity is defined by an inability to see reality, and I have met very few people who could, in fact, see reality. In my experience, most people are too busy looking at the world through the murky lens of their particular flavour of religion or ideology to actually ever want to be bothered with reality, and should even the tiniest sliver of the nasty stuff make its way past their defenses, the ensuing emotional (over)reaction is sure to keep their attention diverted to less offensive matters.

Most people are such a garbled mess of emotions, cognitive laziness and stupidity (because stupidity never seems to go out of style) that they're always bordering on... well, if not insanity, then at the very least obscene absurdity.

Going to the extreme ends of the spectrum just makes it more obvious.

Not going into whole mental health discussion - but that postie got very scared very suddenly at about 1:01.

be discussed. it really doesn't make since to me how you can only look at it through her eyes. what about this mailman, who is just sitting there doing his job, then suddenly this insane woman come up to you screaming in your face? telling you your stalking her? and sounding like she going to do something violent? YES! they are "FUCKING PEOPLE"! but their people who need to be taken out of society for their own good and others around them. take your blinders off and look at the whole picture.

See though, how a bot (pun intended) of well-placed and otherwise distinctly-directed chum calls to the mat a reasonably informative discussion of the varied dynamics of mental divergence, yeah verily, even a professional chimes-in to offer the low-down?!

I still believe that the embed was intended to coax the finger-pointers out for a troll and I'm still pissed at someone's particular lack of civility and courtesy after an ass-rape, without a customary reach-around there, KUbrikboy 😈

How bout a chat sometime? I'm cheaper than therapy and love to entertain!

Great playlist, by the way skeeeetch-Roll-on with the fun at some others expense-

Of course it's unfair...it was an accusation made by one of the biggest trolls the sift has ever had.

It is, of course, also more than a little hypocritical for choggie of all people to chastise folks for lacking compassion, given his own history of posts.

Freud was more of a lunatic than most of his patients...very little of what he claimed has panned out, and even less offered any value. I'm not sure how his evidence-free thought experiments bring any benefit to this subject. Maybe his opinion on the relative recreational value of various doses of cocaine would have some merit, but not much else.

I'd like to add that she had a whole youtube channel under the name "stalkedinboston". I watched like a dozen of her videos.

I would pretty much agree with @Hive13 above about her state. She seems to be more and more aggressive with her state of mind.

She would also point out how simple Google searches for something like "stalking" would return, to her, very significant results and related ads that proved her right.

I thought that if someone wanted to stalk her, all the information you needed would be on her videos, including her face reflected in the monitor.

That said, this by far the most aggressive video I have seen her post.

Hope she finds the treatment she needs.

With that in mind here's a list of people that make me variously: scared, uncomfortable, upset and sometimes outright angry. I find it deeply unpleasant and sometimes disturbing to have to deal with them and I think life would be a lot better if we just locked them away.

Police
Politicians
Pro-lifers
Anyone who watches X-factor
Anyone who doesn't think the British royal family are murderous tyrants.
People who play music on their phone speakers on the bus/walking down the street.
People that use the term "free country" without irony.
The unregulated hyper rich over class.
Rugby players on a night out drinking.
People that advocate the death penalty.
Hyper nationalists.
Xenophobes, Racists and Homophobes.
The priesthood of amen/the brotherhood of shadow.
Young people in tracksuits/hoodies.
Anyone that uses the word "party" as a verb.
Practising Christians, Muslims and Jews (doubly so if they are raising their children religiously).
Hyper-Atheists.
Chimpanzees! (seriously, fuck the chimps they scare the shit out of me)
People that use the phrase "I just don't give a fuck" and actually mean it.
The Chinese scientists developing the "death robots" (you might laugh now....)

Whilst some are clearly more serious than others, all of the above represent things/traits which deeply concern me. Many of the people on that list I'd label as outright insane and/or seriously dangerous to my health and well being.

Some, were I to be confronted by them unexpectedly, would outright terrify me, much more so than that lady. There's a good chance that by simply responding with concern and a lack of antagonism she could have been talked down, but certainly pulling an incredulous expression and calling her a crazy lady is not likely to diffuse the situation one iota.

As I said before maybe she is a genuine danger to herself and others, such people do exist and there are systems in place to try and deal with it.

The issue here is that your not even remotely in a position to make that diagnosis, nor are any of us here. We don't know how serious her condition is or how likely she is to respond to various forms of treatment. Speculating based only on video's made during episodes (i.e. at her worst) with no context of her medical history just fuels the kind of knee jerk "lock them away" mindset that contributes heavily to these poor bastards getting the way they are in the 1st place.

For all you know a bit of in the community C.B.T. and mentoring might be all she needs/needed. Not everyone displaying psychotic symptoms benefits from or warrants full on institutional incarceration, it often makes things much worse.
She clearly needs/needed further investigation and perhaps having the benefit of her medical history and first hand interaction it might be reasonable to conclude that some form of isolation is needed. But I'd rather leave that down to those who are professionally qualified to make that judgement than bystanders who merely witnessed a few isolated psychotic episodes and know sweet F.A. about her as a person.

It's you that's failing to see the bigger picture here. You want to put her in a neat little box marked "crazy" so you don't have to face the implication that in some fundamental sense you are the same thing. The crazy person sits next to you on the bus and you think "I don't deserve to have to put up with this inconvenience. How dare they make me feel uncomfortable".......

....Do you have the remotest idea of the kind of deep lasting damage that does to a person when virtually everyone they ever meet thinks and behaves that way? How it feels for someone to just condemn you to be locked away without even attempting to understand what your all about?

It's only about 50 years ago that it was standard practice to basically label everything as just various forms of "madness" and lock them all away in the same building. While we've come along way there's still very much a ways to go and the public perception of acute psychotic illnesses is by far the most backwards.

If you'd said maybe she might need institutional treatment, or that you had concerns that the behaviour she displays could escalate to a violent incident (both legitimate concerns) then I wouldn't have reacted with such hostility.
But you didn't do that, you outright declared she that must be forcibly segregated and treated and moreover that she is definitely a danger to herself and others. No grey area, isolation is the only alternative!

I don't want this to descend into a personal attack, you might after all be a really nice person and this is a deeply rooted prejudice common to most people I come across. Much like many peoples homophobia isn't especially malicious it's just an unchallenged social convention (one fortunately that is changing).
But malicious or not the damage done is the same, for crazies, ethnic minorities and homosexuals alike. And I don't think its unfair to say that the "crazies" are the more vulnerable group by quite some margin.

You don't begrudge offering a little time and understanding for say a disabled person holding you up in a door way, why is taking a little step back when confronted with a "crazy" person so different? That postie clearly recognised she wasn't occupying the same reality as himself very quickly, but his response is to pull a face that says "what the fuck is your problem?" and just dismisses her as crazy. She might have calmed down and gone away peacefully in the space of a few mins if he'd tried to diffuse it, but he didn't, he escalated immediately. (because he's mentally ill too, just in a different way)
That's basically like someone getting in your way, you realizing its because they are in a wheel chair and then treating them like an arsehole because they had the indecency to be out in public and get in the way of the able bodied people! Those bloody cripples, they should be taken away for their own protection! (the fact the rest of us don't have to worry about dealing with them any more is just a bonus naturally )

Now obviously this is a somewhat flawed analogy as people with mobility impairments don't have heightened rates/likelihood of violent outbursts (though I'm sure there are plenty twats who just happen to be in wheelchairs). But the fundamental point I'm trying to make about how people treat the extravertly mentally ill stands. If your being directly threatened with no provocation is one thing, but this guy isn't he's just antagonising someone in a clear state of paranoia and delusion/misunderstanding (which he recognises within seconds). He doesn't even attempt to address that he just closes off and becomes passively hostile.
As I said before its understandable, but only in the same way as being frightened of homosexuality, alien cultures, physical disfigurement etc.. It's just cultural isolation, get to know a few people from any of those groups and it quickly starts to sublime into respect and understanding.

She didn't walk up to him screaming she walked up and firmly presented an accusation that the postman knew could not possibly have been true. She became aggressive/shouty only after he became dismissive, before that she was only restless and paranoid. And even then she didn't make any aggressive physical moves we can see. Postie doesn't look at all in fear for his safety to me, he turns his back on her several times and barely maintains eye contact, not the behaviour of someone that feels physically threatened!

How might she have reacted if postie had looked genuinely scared? Maybe she'd have backed off? Changed her attitude? And yeh maybe she'd have got even more threatening or attacked him with a stick too.

We don't know what she'd have done because we don't know her or anything about her other than a few paranoid videos on the internet. Leave the judgements to the people that have done the research, interviews etc. and know know what the fuck they are talking about with regards to this lady's condition and best treatment.

Speculation is one thing, outright declarations of fact is quite another. People are not guilty before you can prove their innocence...

Although I dont care for this video I do think it's a *quality discussion regarding the mentally ill.

lol four comment downvotes for the truth. fucking stop stalking me you assholes.

she is a danger to herself, and thereby others. she needs help not to be left alone because she "might be ok"

Wow...and how do you expect to "help" them if you don't institutionalize them? This woman is (according to the comments) already in a minimum security mental facility but it's not working (obviously). There are many levels of institutionalization, hers needs to be raised a couple of levels!
There's a difference between homosexuality (and other mental 'deviancy') and a completely insane person that believes she is being stalked by random people that angrily confronts them for stalking her, and note they were not stalking so the attack will likely come and against someone completely unaware it's coming. Because it's likely SOMEONE will be hurt (and it depends on her specific attack whether it's her or her victim, if she goes in from behind and sucker punches, stabs, clocks on the head with a rock she may not be hurt herself...otherwise she'll probably get the worst of it) her behavior needs curtailing. It's about protecting HER as well. This behavior will not end well for her, either in the hospital or morgue if not prison, and those that are railing against committing people with massive dangerous control issues simply aren't thinking it through. According to her own posts, her behavior is getting MORE out of control, not less. This will not end well.
If this was in Florida, someone might shoot her standing their ground. I might if she accosted me like that, blocking me into my vehicle while making insane ranting accusations.

It seems likely that she'll be the one injured when she corners the wrong person and starts accusing them of stalking her.
Institutionalization is not simply locking them away for 'our' protection, it's putting them in a setting where they (are supposed to) get the help they need (whether they want it or not). She's already institutionalized in part, I feel she needs her levels of care raised before she accosts the wrong person and is seriously injured or killed.
According to the stats quoted above, there is a 10-20% chance she is going to cause another person harm, as opposed to a 1-2% chance from the non-delusional.

I'm afraid you got more than 4 down votes, I erased one myself by upvoting you.
I agree, she's going to accost the wrong person and someone's going to the hospital and someone's going to jail. Is she going to be better off in jail than being institutionalized? Easy answer, no.

Why are these words offensive? Because some assholes uses them to dismiss others? Is "woman" an offensive word now too? Women drivers. Women's health. Women's rights.
Why don't we, for a change, stop turning words into stigmatas and instead change their definition into something more objectively descriptive? Language changes, it's not static, let's embrace that. Let's stop making more and more tools for awful people to hurt others. "Homosexual" was once nothing but a horrible insult and a description of human moral failure. Now we're looking at a future where it is as offensive as the word woman. Or blond. Or plumber.
It is becoming nothing but an adjective. We're getting there.
Crazy people deserve much better than that, they have enough on their plate.

Looking at this downvote-fest clearly shows that mental illness is like flying planes and swimming with sharks. Everytime something horrible happens involving planes, sharks or insane people it's on the news, becoming the big story. Somebody shot up a school, details at five o'clock. Every fucking time.
These stories of terrible perril and death are so interesting, we make the best blockbuster cinema out of them: Psycho, Jaws and Snakes on a Plane (the double whammy of scary things!).
We're conditioned to fear that stuiff, we're comfortable fearing that. It looks and sounds scary and everybody can come up with easily terrifying scenarios.
Nobody is afraid of driving their car though. I wonder what the statistics make of that.
First of all, "better lock her up, she might get herself killed" is not an argument to lock up the crazy lady, it is an argument to lock up the postal worker. Before he goes postal on her. Yeah, that was a great pun, you better clap. But I meant: before he stands his ground.
Second, "she might be dangerous!"
Really? How do you know? Should we get the cops to taser her into submission? How would you like that video, "mentally ill woman tasered by cops"?
I see no weapon, I see no hint of her trying to get too close to that guy. She vents some paranoia and then leaves. She goes away. That's it.
Sure, her other videos may make her creepier but that's her thoughts she posting. I'm a man. If I'd walk around with a camera and record every thought of mine, I'd probably been locked away by now because there's a lot of people I'd like to shoot. In my thoughts. Not even touching upon the sex stuff here. Our thoughts tend to be weird and creepy. It applies to all of us.
Hers are just of the rails, as in mentally ill. And she's oversharing.
And finally, I'm not Chairman Woo but I endorse his message. And he saved me lots of typing.

Totally agree.

That said, I would rather people like this didn't have access to firearms, and yes, probably to automobiles too.

Adding video to channels (Brain, Health) - requested by messenger.

I upvoted for the look on the mailman's face. CLASSIC

clear lack of reading comprehension strikes again

she is a danger to herself, because of her behavior, and as many have pointed out, its not HER actions but the reactions of others.

TO HER.

thanks for playing. she'll get help in jail at least. sick country.

I love how people here talk like they know this woman or her situation somehow. Have you considered that maybe she's just a bitch? People are assuming she has some kind of mental illness and are downplaying what she's doing based on their own limited knowledge of the situation.

Anyone who speaks out against her is surely a cad! How DARE you upvote this woman's poor misfortune!

I upvoted to point and laugh @ her

I'm taking back the word crazy. A friend of mine was discovered to be deeply schizophrenic and for years since then I've felt bad about using the word crazy. But you know what? My friend is crazy. He sees the world in a crazy way. The woman taking the video is definitely crazy and she's also an asshole. I for one don't feel we should accept disruptive behaviours from an asshole just because that asshole is crazy. I feel sorry for the postal worker. If I were the postal worker I'd be feeling paranoid that the lady was going to start some more shit, and if she came around again I'd give her one warning before calling the cops about her harassment and slander (uploading videos to YouTube that show me and call me "stalker").
