On superpowers

I remember that long before my first psychotic break I had a really cool attention skill, I could accurately guess which one of the persons who lived at my house was opening the door, by the way he or she would turn the key in lock. Maybe this was due to an attention that was already startled, kind of in a fight or flee mode which I guess I was in during a period of years, stressed out for nothing, but still… Superpower. Did any of you had any?

I used to have way more intuition during psychosis. Whether it was accurate? I’m not sure. But I “felt” way more.

I think I get what you’re saying. Like reading persons, situations, understanding anything was so much more “given”, you didn’t even had to make an effort you just understood it in a glimpse.

I can sense people coming I guessed my mate and uncle I said their names and then saw them and I’d be in thought and think of something then I’d see it

Dream walker…I’ve been afflicted aslong as I can remember…my dreams were my escape…I can swap dreams rewind them for diff outcomes and if the dreams going bad I can force awake myself…not really a super power but it seemed like it when I was younger.

Oh yea I do threat assessments everywhere I go I know my level of threat and I can accurately guess how bad ass you are by glancing at your mannerisms and face…I learned to do this one…keeps me outs trouble…and gives me something to concentrate on in public…

Some people call that sincronism! I think it can become something dangerous for us folks to grab on to, like we start adding meanings that aren’t there and when we became aware of it we turned a coincidence into a theory or worse, a delusion.

I have attention powers, because I notice things others don’t. I too can tell whose in the house by the way they walk, or open a door.
I can also tell how a person is feeling when I talk to them, thus I am usually able to tell when they are lying or hiding that they’re upset. I can read emotions very well, even hidden ones. The odd times I can’t, it really worries me. I always notice things no one else does. People’s hairs it of place, marks on things, eye glances, tones of voices, gestures, and much more.

I feel like I could’ve wrote that a few years ago! Nowadays my attention is in really bad shape, and it’s for the best I guess, or else I would be tripping on details.

Most accurate way to describe my current life.

You’re not taking any antipsychotic right?

If mentioned what my superpower was it’d take its power away.

Wait… you didn’t read that.

None of this is true. It’s all a lie.

No, not big on meds. I’ve managed thus far without them, so.

Yeah I tried that too, ended up having too many hospitalizations to stay on the same path, but I totally understand you, would’ve done the same thing if I could’ve managed without them. Just remember if you ever really need to take them that it’s not the end of the world :slight_smile:
