Is that a metaphor of some sort?
I’m not much of a “joiner” tbh, Groucho Marx summed it up for me, but the Salvation Army have a place just down the road, maybe they’d let me help out occasionally?
To be honest we seem to be in a loop now, for the sake of brevity I accept you believe your hallucinations are real, so no need to keep listing them in the form of unevidenced anecdotal claims. For the record the objective medical evidence suggests that schizophrenia means they’re extremely likely to be hallucinations, and that the condition would make them extremely vivid and real to you, making it difficult for you to differentiate them from reality.
My heart is a pump made of muscle, so unless you’re dealing in metaphors again I’m not sure what you mean sorry, or what this has to with what the objective evidence indicates?
Another metaphor, again this does not address the objective evidence, and I have already explained that I can’t give anecdotal claims any credence, and precisely because they are unsupported by any objective evidence. NB This would be true in all cases, but I can’t ignore what medical evidence demonstrates about schizophrenia, and the much higher likelihood of hallucinations, and the reduced ability to differentiate between them and reality.
It’s just funny. Because I’ve used LSD on a few occasions and powerful hallucinations are walls bending, geometric shapes flowing in and out of thin air like fractals.
They’re not guided tours of the universe’s edge.
Why would you imagine that hallucinations are reliably consistent? Oh and as someone suffering from schizophrenia I can’t stress enough how unwise using such mind altering drugs is, again seek proper medical advice if you doubt what I’m saying.
To be honest, I’m at a juncture in my life where I feel i might be a good role model for some of these younger kids just being diagnosed.
I’m glad you’re reaching some sort of equilibrium, but just bare in mind there is no stigma attached to seeking help with such a condition, anymore than someone needed help with diabetes.
I can’t imagine you ever wanting to join the world of the non-special.
You got that sense as well then. ![]()
