Moon madness

Last three delusional episodes were with full moon or blood moon. My psychiatrist says there is a link. Do you believe that? I never did…now i do. He even gave me an article to read. Did you ever notice a pattern like this?

I don’t know what to believe. At first when I read this post, I sort of rolled my eyes but then I started thinking about the moon and its extraordinary effects on our planet. I really would need to see some papers about this to be educated enough to have an opinion, but I’m not going to scoff at it.

I read somewhere it could be magnetism of the moon, but the moon is still there regardless if it’s visible or not. Another theory I saw was that the light from the moon can trigger mania because it causes sleeping problems.

Very interesting

Years and years ago I worked with a guy whose mum was a police dispatcher. Met her one night and she said that nights of the full moon were the weirdest. Not so much traffic but the calls they got to emergency were the strangest…

I think there could be some street cred to the motions of the moon on us!

That really gives me the creeps

I’m more alert sometimes on full moons I found

I read the light of the full moon effects sleeping in some people also

Yeah there was a huge, peculiarly orange full moon that night.
I found my distance glasses and put them on.
…It was a Burger King neon sign.

I feel kind of weird and alert every full moon. I’m not feeling bad, but hypomanic and strange.

No. Just coincidence.

My last relapse happened after the world cup. I had gotten really excited for the world cup. I was watching sometimes 4 games a day. I tell myself not to get too excited and keep things in moderation.

Yeah. I was told that around here the cops increase there patrols during full moon.
But maybe its just that people are more likely to go out at night while they can see clearer? I dunno.

Astrologists would agree.

I generally think it’s more likely coincidence, but the little thing that pulls at me to not be :100::100: confident in that is watching my sister, who is just as skeptical and eye rolly of the people making those claims as me start teaching 2nd grade at a public school.

The first few years she was always annoyed at the people blaming the full moon for shitty behavior, but as time has gone on we’ve had several conversations where she’s come to me convinced she’s going crazy because of how often the kids behavior changes in lunar cycle. Like, at one point she made a year long daily spreadsheet of the behaviors of her class to make herself feel better about what to think.

What is the use of it? If it helps with cure or betterment can give it a thought.
