Oh man, you aren't kidding! Where else are you going to find a better friend to hang out and play with? Personally, I’ve always been drawn to the unconventional ones. Isn't it funny how the "ugly" ones often end up being the most beautiful? True beauty really does come from within, doesn't it? I bet some guy came up with that whole idea after he lost his sense of taste.
I guess everyone has their own little dream, right? For me, I just hope my embryo transfer finally makes it home. I really can't help myself.🙂 And honestly, there are some people I truly love🤣 🤣 😍
It’s definitely a complex set of values, without a doubt
I mean, is our reality really that different? I spend my time surfing the web eating doing my business dancing hooking up I honestly have no idea what you all are up to
Oh, I’ve already forgotten my password It's actually wild how much more chaotic and delusional the discussions on those other forums are compared to this one Did you ever happen to check out my thread about healing through intimacy? I think the image fits perfectly.🙄 🙄 🙄
ijon said:Well, you're right. But honestly, I didn't mean to upset you—it was actually quite the opposite. The Matrix, manipulation... yeah, you've got a point there. It’s been happening on a massive scale for a long time, and it's incredibly subtle and well-tested.
I'm not sure why, but I thought it might be comforting to know there's someone out there who's medically sound and finds this explanation reasonable. I just feel it intuitively. (Though, I suppose there's no sense in trying to discuss this with someone who doesn't believe me...)
And hey, I'd love to have my seventh chakra in direct contact with God too, but even if it isn't, I think I'll manage! 😍

Aside from having my own opinions and staying quiet about them, I don't suffer from hallucinations or anything like that. That line above was meant for you.
I started this thread because schizophrenia has completely upended my life five different times. I'm not the same person I used to be, and I know I never will be again. Right now, things feel even harder than before.
You sure have some interesting stories! I’m currently living in Chicago, and I have such vivid memories from when I was little—my mom actually bought me a New Fossil cassette tape. Back then, my neighbors were always playing music by artists like Lilić or Ilić. That was around 1984.
That story is twenty years old; it’s nothing more than a broken record. I’m honestly a bit of a mess, and if someone actually showed up like that, I’d feel like I was trapped in a Ghostbusters movie! I definitely wouldn't forget such a wild experience, let alone try to toss a ghost right out the window. Honestly, seeing enough gross stuff just toughens you up after a while.😂 😂 ☕
crimsonhound80, darling 😘 have you noticed those strange provocateurs popping up lately? Honestly, they’d probably believe their own nonsense if they weren't so busy being miserable😘
Dear Dr. House, I am writing to you because I am worried about my son. He’s always had his quirks, but lately, things have taken a dark turn. He claims he’s hearing voices when he’s alone—voices that are urging him to commit horrific acts, even suggesting he kill me. It feels like he's truly losing his grip on reality. My friends are all pushing me to have him hospitalized, and honestly, even he seems to realize he needs professional psychiatric help. What’s the best way to handle this? – Buggin’ in Buffalo
Dear Buggin’, Let's not be naive here. Believe me, putting your son through psychological treatment won't do him any good. I say this with the benefit of knowing the actual history of psychiatry, which has consistently failed to help anyone. It lacks any real scientific foundation. Back when I was quietly finishing my doctorate in psychology with a focus on psychiatric history at Harvard University, I was stunned to realize the entire field lacks scientific validity. Furthermore, during my undercover time as a professor of mental disorders and Advanced neurochemistry AT Johns Hopkins, I discovered the whole concept of a "chemical imbalance" is a myth. Your son might just be acting out, or perhaps he's dealing with a severe vitamin deficiency. If I were you, I’d just get him some orange juice and a good multivitamin; he'll likely be back to normal in no time.
I'll admit, I'm a pretty great actor but man, when I was feeling soooooo booooooreddddddddddddddd
There’s really no need to be harsh about it. We’re talking about a specific kind of emotional logic here: the idea that someone could be mistreated by you, yet still decide to sell their soul to the devil just to ride in on a golden chariot and shower you with affection. Doesn't any man feel that way sometimes?
Jon said:Alright, let’s keep it brief but meaningful: "reality" doesn't exist as some objective truth. Whether it's convenient or not, reality is always subjective, meaning everyone is essentially living in their own unique world.
As someone who considers themselves mentally sound, I truly believe schizophrenia shouldn't be categorized as a disease like any other, nor should it be treated as one. Calling it a "cancer" of the soul is something only someone who assumes reality is fixed and universal could think. It’s time we accept that our lives aren't built on any solid, unshakeable foundation—and we should respect those who actually experience this instability and are subsequently labeled as "ill" because of it. I haven't found a single aspect of this condition that is irrational or purely internal. We are simply surrounded by social constructs designed to manipulate how we perceive and feel things.
Not like any other? Well, no—every illness is unique in its own way. I could argue that I'll develop cellulite just by holding onto negative emotions, but I'm curious to hear what you really think about this. Are we talking The Matrix? Manipulation? ?????????????????????????
Why are you even worrying about this? If you aren't on any medication and you're just sitting there typing away on your computer I'm pretty sure nothing is going to happen to you.

I consider myself a level-headed person, and my take is that schizophrenia shouldn't be categorized as just another disease or treated as one. Calling it a "cancer" of the soul is a mistake—that kind of thinking only comes from people who assume reality is a fixed, universal constant. It’s high time we acknowledge that our lives aren't built on any solid, unshakeable foundation. Why don't we start showing some respect to those who actually experience this physical sensation of reality shifting, and who are labeled "ill" because of it? In my experience, I haven't found a single aspect of this condition that is irrational or purely internal. The truth is, we are constantly surrounded by social constructs designed to manipulate how we perceive the world and our emotions.
I hear what you're saying. But if it isn't a disease, then what is it?😁 Just an eccentricity?😍
