I think about existence quite a lot. Just the fact of everything existing here and now. How this universe is real. How we as humans are alive. Just life really. I’m sometimes overwhelmed by Life’s contents
I think its a bit scary. Maybe socialising more will help me to forget about that stuff
I more have existential issues with thinking everything is pointless. Been trying to combat that lately.
Yeah I find that there’s rabbit holes when you mull over deep existence thoughts. And those rabbit holes are subtle and can lead you into a bad way of experiencing the world.
Good memories can be an anchor I think. And doing grounding activities.
Idk if its the illness but I feel kind of detached from my good memories
I find my good memories get blocked out when im in this existential thought stuff. I just try to redirect it and look at reasons why something is good or has a purpose.
Over the years i took a viewpoint of life is just a bunch of experiences good or bad and everything in between. May as well make the most of it.
Thats coming from detaching from growing up with religion and also the psychosis distorting reality.
Too much philosophy or religion hasn’t added anything good to my quality of life. On the contrary. I think this illness makes us all prone to pondering deep questions whose answers may or may not exist, and attempts to answer them may lead to madness.
Hmm its weird. I do get flashbacks and can even see memories play out like from my minds eye. But I don’t feel the emotions associated with them. I just get hit by them and carry on without any fondness. Sounds quite sterile.
Thats a good way of looking at it. My view is a bit on the darker side, it has been affected by the psychosis too
