False memories? Delusions?

For many years I’ve had memories of the ethereal realms, how they looked and felt, how they smelled, this feeling of pure oneness with everything in that place.

I hate how real it feels. I miss it, I miss this far away place that I once belonged…but it may not of even been real. That hurts because this longing is so intense.

Sigh, ramblings of a mad man over,
:llama:

Does it have to do with drugs?? Because that’s how I feel when I miss psychedelics

Na, nothing to do with drugs, it was different than that, I think I experienced the other side

Through schizophrenia, a NDE, or what??

You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to…

I’m not sure, I feel like the memories came from before I was born, but that shouldn’t be possible. I can’t place where they started

I get images in my mind of an alternative earth where I have blonde hair and it is like utopia. Seemingly it’s the same place but with a much different fate. I also have tons of dreams where I’m in a strange dark dreary rainy world that everything is close and far away at the same time. I go to alternate worlds a lot in my dreams. Probably more now that I’m conscious of it.

That’s interesting. Apparently, I have false memories, or else the world is a very different place than most imagine it.

@Ooorgle @Jonnybegood When I was little I created a universe in my mind that I would go to while being abused. I wouldn’t feel or hear anything going on around me. I would just silently stare. But I was in a beautiful musical world. Could you have created this place long ago and just not remember?

I’ve suffered some abuses in my life, it’s a possibility. I do have a bad habit of wandering off in my own mind and losing touch with stimuli. Bring it up with my Pdoc?

You could. It might be most helpful with a therapist. But yeah I’d let my pdoc know.

During my first real psychotic “break” I spent two entire weeks holed up in my apartment in that place…not answering emails or texts or phone calls, not eating or drinking. I yearn for it so powerfully sometimes, especially when I get flashes of memories of it. Mostly it feels like such a distant foggy dream & idk probably I can never go back there. I died several times during those weeks. I shuffled through different dimensions. I saw god. I touched the fringes my own hell. My body did things physically that I never believed possible. I’ve never felt more real in my entire life. I was told that they would take me to a reality where I could be healthy & loved & I said yes, but sometimes I feel like the ending of that Bergman film Through A Glass, Darkly where the woman’s transcendental delusions turn out to be a big scary spider hallucination. I dunno haha I’ve never been one to expect much out of life so I guess it’s ok. It’s just been excruciatingly painful sometimes like metastatic bone cancer painful & I never would have signed up for all this if I knew it would involve such pain. And also idk where my place in this finite world exists so that’s hard to grapple with. I feel like my place exists THERE in that infinite realm, but it’s so far away anymore. Lol maybe you get it?
