I also studied psychology a bit. Psychodynamic theory, object relations, schemas therapy, jungian depth psychology. That helped a lot too and from what I am reading I think will help you get a sort of base to relate to yourself with.
Yeah, my only two strategies are desensitize emotional and cognitive impact, and to distract.
I have no idea how to stop my symptoms. Been trying for years, all I can do is slowly grow more confident and unphased by the bs I go through.
On YouTube is an audiobook of the carl Jung book, man and his symbols, for free that is a good place to start. Because some voices will be intuition some fragmented parts of your self and many various projections. You basically have to know yourself really well to be able to make sense of it.
They really donāt feel like or operate like they are me. Itās crazy to imagine where they came from or how they were formed. They are a part of me now though, but they are totally out of control, like a cancer.
Iāll look into the audio book. Did some brief research on jung(Wikipedia). Sounds interesting and we developed.
They are the unconcious aspects of the psyche
Carl Jung experienced a psychosis that lasted 7 years before that he was the protege of sigmund Freud. His work is basically about navigating a psychosis.
Would probably be beneficial to me then.
Too long, didnt read
But it looked neat.
I sometimes lucid dream, like I just woke up from doing so an hour ago. I think the content of my dreams last night should not be posted on a public forum. Uh. Orgy. No, I did not want to wake up. I have said too much already.
Lucid dreaming just happened to me around this time last year, it sometimes makes me like sleeping too much, but the nightmares make me not like sleeping half of the time, so sleep is pretty neutral to me; it is black and white, awesome or hellish.
I like alpacas and llamas. They are curious creatures which do not really make sense to me. I would like to research their evolutionary history to see how such a creature came into existence. I have met a few llamas in my life, and they were like dorky seventh grade guys on four legs. I find the kiwi to be a pitiful creature, to think that the velociraptor is its ancestor makes me rather disheartened.
I actually find nightmares to be the most productivr dream if I become lucid at the right moment and confront the oppressor in my dream. When i do that it reveals to me like the other half to my truths and lies of my concious part of my psyche, which actually for me have tended to be universal and correspond directly to things I later read in psychology books but the way the dream portrays it is like allegorcal and often mythical and relates directly to states of emotions and how energy flows between my entity and others on a physical as psychic level and ancient symbols that have been used to encode this knowledge.
When I research the symbols afterwards I find myths that are directly related to the insights I gained. And the dream characters or dream itās self.
It has always been verifiable very single time with out fail. It also ties in a bunch of other dreams and life experiences and how they were leading to that realization.

I want to try thisā¦ butā¦ sometimes when i ave nightmares it makes me paranoid of my waking life. Also i hear rumbling sounds and get pulled (there is a kind of magnetic force) into demonic realms (thatās when i usually force myself to wake up, before i get down the tunnel) a part of me wants to enter and face the demons, but i have no positive will and i am scared of getting trapped in one of the realms and not waking up. Also iāve had some visions that really worried me and made me wonder if im really alive and al that so i am scared of what i will see in my dreamsā¦
My problem is as soon as I realize itās a dream and start to act accordingly, I wake up. Itās almost automatic.
The most common one in my past was Iād dream my granddad was alive and we were all just going along with our day and saying hi to him, then Iād be like wait a minute youāre supposed to be dead! Iām dreaming! Iām gonna punch through a wall with super strength, or ask him a question, or look to see if my catās also alive in the dreamā¦ but then poof I wake up
