You're tuned into Ned Nerb, the schizophrenic. This is day five of 100 symptoms. I have schizophrenia every day. I experience symptoms every day. Ever since I was diagnosed, there isn't a day that I take off. The topic today is word salad. Word salad is a popular symptom of schizophrenia. In part popularized by Sarah Palin, who is blamed for word salad by many people on Twitter. In fact, if you search Twitter for word salad, you find schizophrenia symptoms. Sarah Palin's remarks in public. What is word salad? Munch-in-on adverbs, munch-in-on nouns, digesting a little bit of pith. Word salad is basically a symptom of schizophrenia, where the words are random. I once told my friend when I was about to go into the psych ward to not worry. I have the Jesus leather. What is Jesus leather? My friend laughed at me later after I was out of the hospital and could laugh about what had happened. She was like, looking at her text, why did you send this? I don't know what you were talking about. It's like a schizophrenic who's in the middle of psychosis might not be interested in eating, but they're interested in talking and rotating the language around, rotating the meanings around. Word salad doesn't make sense. I have the Jesus leather. What does that mean? Sometimes when I was sick, when I was in a rough patch, I would write poetry. And the poetry doesn't make any sense afterwards. It made some sense while I was doing it. It seems it made some sense, but... This is the symptom for tomorrow. Freeze. Linguistic freeze. Something happens in the brain and the thought. And I just freeze. It's like, I don't know why. But anyway, this has been day five of 100 symptoms tuned into Ned Ned Nervus schizophrenia.
