Today I made a post in a pretty delusional state, and people (obviously) pointed out how delusional I was being. And while I found that helpful (I really did) I felt some people were being mean or even laughing at my expense. People commented about how ridiculous it was. One person even said: I don’t believe anything you say, when I stated a fact about the biology of fungus that he mistook as a delusion of mine.
While I have taken my medication and feel much better now, something still doesn’t feel right about the thread I posted. It really did feel like people were laughing at my expense. And I think some of you have a very biomedical, reductionist view of schizophrenia and the world in general. Who are you guys to say that mushrooms don’t have souls? I believe that everything has a soul, and as far as I’m aware you don’t know more about the nature of reality and the universe than me!
But I do appreciate all the help in that thread, it’s just that it was pretty rough to hear and I felt people were laughing at my expense upon reading my altered state. And about my friend who I was going to propose to, who are you guys to tell me that my love is a delusion? I said I was gay, but sexuality is a spectrum and bisexual would be more accurate. While obviously I’m not going to propose to her, I do love her.
You’re complaining that people don’t align with your spiritual beliefs. That’s why it’s suggested to keep them off the forum. This isn’t the place for it.
The one guy that was rude to you in the beginning was just as rude to me my first time posting on this site. He said I was lying and didn’t really suffer from schizophrenia.
Who are you to say that mushrooms do have souls? And can we not discuss this here? Religious fights suck.
Yes you did, and in a manner that implied that you had no interest in her sexually for that reason. Now you’re upset because people ran with your post as you wrote it and not your current retconning. d0000d.
Someone with half a century of experience on this planet, and over a quarter century of experience with SZ, my own and that of others. I’ve learned that if something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
I have just read that post and agree with you that people were being offensive, you don’t normally see that on this site. I mean I am not sure why they are so surprised to see your delusion on mushrooms. As for the girl, I would say try to get together with her first if your not sure it is going to work, unless you do really feel like soul mates or something (her that way about you as well). Also, I would try to lay off the mushrooms, god only knows what doing that regularly will do to your mental health. Psychosis can give you brain damage.
