hypothetically, does that mean she could have stopped it all at the start by believing she could?
ok

i did like three more lol
Becuase it sounds like she basically tricked her brain into thinking normally
Possibly, she said she knew all long what the fix was, but she said the other half of her brain had to "figure it out on its own"
really interesting how the human mind is so intelligent it can come up with that kind of solution subconsciously
Certainly goes to show how much of reality is based on our perception of it rather than something objective
Can you imagine being held prisoner by your own mind for 20 years like that?
and then after all that time of not trusting your hallucinations, having to learn to trust one of them to fix herself
the human mind is a hell of a thing
I can understand persistant hallucinations, but the whole "threating you" bit I have trouble with
How can something that can't interact with anything else be a threat
i hope its not too big lol
She said that, like in the case of the "man of mars", where he shows super human like powers like being invisible, being able to read her thoughts, ect, that killing her didn't seem to far outside of his power
also she mentions that it takes part if your ability to reason rationally
Sure, but if you know it's a hallucination, then of course it could read thoughts or go invisible, it's a projection by your brain
yea it is lemme upload it to my yt real quick
It can do anything *except* actually hurt you
Right, which is why she says by the time you realize it's all in your head, you're already in a straight jacket and in a bird's nest
Plus, why would an alien/demon/angel pick you to follow around
Again, the man said that he randomly chose you out of all humans, and you are not special
Your average timmy is too busy sucking air to actually matter <:smugpepe:619749634402942998>
she had a really advanced case of it though. No amount of shock therapy, or medication helped her at all
Seems weird though right? Why would they choose a random person? They can go invisible and read your thoughts but can't come up with a better way of information gathering than following timmy around all day?
logically most schizo shit doesnt make sense
Right, looking at the situation it seems obvious
which is why it isnt hard to tell when someone is crazy
but I'm sure it doesn't seem that way to them
The invasion of earth is not going to go well for the martians if timmy is their main source of info
Haha
lmao
It can also be God, or a Demon, or even a family member who says they are a ghost
that one would scare me, if my grandmother or father told me they were a ghost and followed me everywhere
I suggest reading the book, it's called "Operators and Things l"
it's the first time I've read schizophrenia described that way
helped me underhand it better
sry i lost track whats the convo abt
talking about a book a former schizo wrote describing the experience
you upload the vid?
