How would you control a perception?
Well, before I was mentally ill, which was 18 months ago, I could control what I wanted to think about to a great extent. I could refocus. I didn’t have inserted thoughts that were out of my control. As far as perception, there are certain things that no one can control, like whether or not I find someone attractive. It is involuntary. Even normals can’t control everything. I agree with that. But I could control a LOT more when I was normal than I can now. My thoughts can just run away with me now and I am, often, powerless to stop it. That’s why I take meds

I agree with this. It’s worse than just not being at peace with oneself.

Living in another plane.
My definition of mental illness is what everyone outside of your space doesn’t think is normal. I’ve had multiple thoughts my whole life and I didn’t know it wasn’t common until I got older. I’ve felt fine in my space and then people “intrude”, so I’m forced to communicate and act according to what they think is healthy or normal. Not allowed to feel angry or upset or express any of those feelings.
