Why, when my brain forces an unpleasant tactile hallucination on me, does the brain register the hallucination as a touching sensation when it is the perpetrator in the first place? Am I supposed to naively believe that someone is actually touching me when this happens? A few milliseconds later, I register the hallucination as a tactile hallucination. What the heck is going on in my brain? Isn’t this confusing? Why doesn’t it get things straight?
We’ve been talking about the “two personalities” of sz here. @Plumber mentioned it. One has the delusional thoughts, the other has the rational ones. We’re medicated, and fairly well, so we register them as unusual beliefs. And I’m glad we can choose the rational thought.
Asking a sick brain to do everything perfectly is a dead end.
Tactiles suck though, sorry you have them.

I should say, my mind is more irrational than rational. Reason would like to hold sway and prevail, but it isn’t doing that. Instead, unreason prevails.
Are you sure about that? You seem very reasonable when you write here.

I beleive there is probably nothing wrong with your brain. Spirits do exist and deceive. The biggest trick the devil pulled was to make people believe that he doesn’t exist.
“Seem…” I can say: “Too much reasoning, not enough reason.”

that captures beautifully how I feel when I’m not doing well.
I’m sorry for that.
Thank you Minnii.
