I’m motivated to try group participation here with keeping in mind the individual. I have prior teaching experience online when I was working on a graduate degree in ecology, I wanted to use the degree for writing books and ecotherapy. My experience has always been an East meets West approach.
Write your experience from the following:
Hallucination
Delusions
Family member giving you a hard time
Voices

Are you the oldest or youngest in the family? Where are you in oldest to youngest?
When you eat do you eat with your mouth open or closed?
Are you left or right handed?
What are your hobbies?
Try to answer all of them. Hopefully, I can make a word puzzle of all our favorite words or most of them that have to do with sz, I will figure this out. I will post it on here.

I’m the youngest
I’m right handed

Oh dear that’s a lot of questions. Um
-
Seeing colorful lights. Walls melting. Floors swirling and swelling. Objects swelling like they’re breathing. Trippy stuff. (No I am not on drugs!!) Also get what I call “visual distortions” where normal objects look demented and threatening (eg hanging robe looks like hanging person, coat looks like hooded figure, lighting on poster looks like evil face, etc)
-
In chronological order, believing I was a werewolf princess, believing two angels controlled my life, believing I was from another dimension, believing I was god, believing I was the next messiah who was being hunted by the devil, believing I was the future mother of the antichrist, believing I had been trained my whole life to be a warrior in the apocalypse (most of them were VERY in depth and complex delusions, those are just basic summaries)
-
Dad had anger issues and is a control freak as well as sort of oblivious that anyone else has problems except him. Stress and hatred living with him affected me badly. Mom told me I was being a baby and that her problems were worse than mine. Neither of parents believe in the mental health system and hate it, so it never allowed me to get the help I needed, which my pdoc said could have changed my life if they would have taken me as a child. So I consider that as harmful.
-
My voices are weird and seem to be different from other people’s. Like I have generic nasty voices that come out when I’m in an episode, but most of my voices are chill, and some even very kind, loving and helpful, giving me advice and guiding me through life when things get too overwhelming. Pdoc & therapist think they developed as coping mechanim after dealing with two mental disorders my entire life with no support, no therapy, no meds.
-
Donno what you mean by this? Which I guess means I haven’t had any?
-
I harm myself when I get very, very overwhelmed. Pain and stress of being pushed to far makes me furious, makes me really want to lash out and punish someone, promised self when young never to hurt anyone out of anger again after it was damaging my relationship w my siblings so I claw at/hit myself. I usually don’t break skin but it has left ugly marks before.
-
I love pretty much all the arts. I’m deeply creative. I love writing, doodling, playing my instruments (flute, piccolo, violin), singing, all of it. Can’t act for crap but I like watching plays.
What is the color and number for?? A rating? Wat?
8.Favorite animal is snow leopard, because they’re beautiful and strong despite the fact that many live their entire lives (or at least the majority of them) in isolation.
-
I can hear myself think when I’m alone.
-
I’m the oldest.
-
Closed!! Anyone who eats with it open is WRONG and I don’t like you. (One of my pet peeves lol)
-
Right handed
-
All that creative stuff mentioned before+reading, Netflix, anything to do w animals, video games, Internet surfing, hanging w friends, etc
Color would be the first color that comes to mind after you wrote your experience and a number that pops in your head without thinking about it from one to ten once you written your experience and color.it just a random thing. It’s to find out where your mind is focusing on we could also get deeper into numbers and colors on how the mind travels when dealing with situations and conflict. Numbers and colors can express emotions, thoughts, feelings, it can be a distraction to waking up from a dream or understanding ones own perception, etc
You can check out Color therapy www.deeptrance.com
Red means energy, fatigue, passive, warmth, deep hidden fears
Orange means cheering, relieving repression, new possibilities, stimulates creativity
Yellow means strengthen the nerves and mind, stimulates higher mentality, soothes pain in the nerves
Green means nature and earth, balance and harmony, independence, self development
Blue means cooling, electric, calms strong emotions, truth, disciplined, strong career,
Brown means magical, stability, grounding, protection, family and pets, healing animals, depressing, instability in health and attitude.
Black means negativity, protection, depression, fears of the unknown, fear for the abuse of power
After writing my experience I thought of a color. a color that came to mind once that was done I related the number to how I felt from one being mild to ten being intense.
Oh ok. Then I guess 1 is pink, 7. 2 is blue 6. 3 is grey, 5. 4 is red, 3. 5. is green, 9. Funky, haha.
Would go back and put that in my original post but for some reason you aren’t allowed to edit it after a long time, which makes no sense to me.
*Lol I just put random numbers I thought of not as intensity. Oh well guess I fail at this kind of thing 
I donno how I feel about these symbolism things. I feel like different colors mean different things depending on the person.
For example I find orange obnoxious.
I exclusively wear red, white and black.
No more pseudoscience
I think that when it comes to animal behavior, I behave like an animal.
I like to see the glass half full. Full of O- blood. I think that’s my blood type. If I don’t feed I grow weak. Sunlight will burn me alive. I have been around for hundreds of years faking my death over the centuries only to start back in a new pseudo life.
I am on a vampire kick. I find them fascinating and attractive by many means, I would like to be one.
Sorry I couldn’t resist.
I value a sense of humor.
I heard that wolf men don’t need wolf women to make wolf boys.
You passed whatever came to mind
Exactly, each person is different. You did it, once you put the color with the number you can relate it to the experience
With number one you wrote your experience now put the color and number beside it. Now you can do your own interpretation. For your experience in number 1. You have pink and 7. Now. how does pink make you feel write it in.after reading your number 1. What does the number 7 feel like. Write it in. Write it next to your number 1 that you wrote. Now look back at number 1. Again.
