Although slightly triggering I found that the new Miniseries Western World was strikingly similar to something that I experienced while psychotic. Anyone ever watch SCI FI and think, HOLY ■■■■ thats exactly like my life!!??
I saw the first episode. It looks interesting. Reminded me of Jurassic Park for some reason. (But without the dinosaurs of course.) As for reminding me of a psychotic break… the movie The Fourth Kind with Milla Jovovich reminded me of some delusions I had regarding aliens.

It was a lot like Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs. The whole concept of a playground for the rich. I tuned in about half way through and caught an eerie vibe. Maybe it was the whole robot/microchip thing, or the existence of an outside force playing puppeteer. Ill look for the movie you mentioned. Unless I’ve seen it already and she’s in that chair at the end that turns into a computer. Very scary! Enders Game was a little close to home for me too for some reason.
thanks for your reply
I think you mean Lucy with Scarlett Johansson. The one I’m talking about Milla Jovovich is a psychiatrist in Alaska if I remember correctly. As for Western World, it seems like it’ll be a good show. Haha Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs. That gunman played by Ed Harris is like the T-Rex.
While not exactly sci fi. I can’t watch The Mummy or The Mummy Returns without cringing about one of my early delusions. It makes me feel stupid but at least now I can somewhat laugh about it. For a very short moment in my life I thought I had lived past lives and one of them was Imhotep. It was for a couple months only but gosh, emailing people that you’re Imhotep…

I thought that was a good analogy. And I just watched a little Jurassic Park today. I like all of them. Ed Harris is a cold dude, he was very much like the T-rex in jurassic park lol. another good analogy. Yes I was talking about Lucy, I haven’t seen the one you mentioned. It sounds good, where’d you see it? is it on netflix. I just love movies about MI now that I have one. Im waiting for the Girl on the Train to come out. That looks like a psycho drama
It was on Netflix but not sure if it’s there anymore. Girl on the Train sounds like it’s gonna be a good thriller.

haha oh man, don’t even be embarrassed. I think I thought I was the reincarnation of the Pharaohs hous’e cat one time when I used to live in Colorado. I didn’t email anyone about it though. I reserve that right for Facebook where I went completely ballistic and deleted, reported, blocked, messaged everyone I know. Still trying to patch that one up.
girl on the train looks good, as does the accountant. Both potential fuel for more delusions god forbid.

Ah the beauty of early schizophrenic delusions. Thank goodness I didn’t have a facebook. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed either, it comes with the territory. Still though, to this day I have no idea why Imhotep. I don’t know what I was thinking. Oh well.
I wish the could do something more for us that suffer these delusions. Im a relatively normal guy otherwise, Its amazing how deep the mind goes to regurgitate the stuff we may have learned in high school. I don’t know, where it comes from honestly. I don’t know if ill ever laugh about it. It definitely makes life challenging, more than it needed to be.
Yeah I hear that. Luckily I haven’t really had delusions lately. And believe me I couldn’t watch those movies for years until recently. It was about 10 years ago though so now I’m somewhat able to laugh mostly because I have no idea what I was thinking, it was super dumb of me. Early years of schizophrenia sucked for me. Now I’m more stable but it’s unfortunate we got stuck with the illness. Life could have been so much different.
Yea well you sound like you are doing great, Im glad that the past was so long ago for you. Yea we were unlucky to get this, people take for granted what they have with the ability to think and behave normally all the time. It amazing me when you see the news and people just throw their lives away for the love of money, or lust. What I would give to have my old life back. Ive had breaks on and off for the last fifteen years, been on every kind of med, finally accepted that I have to take meds, and still fighting it. If they just had better medicine it wouldn’t be so bad.

It was tough for me to accept that I’d need to be on medication for the rest of my life. I also took awhile to accept I needed to be on meds. Don’t let it bring you down. It’s either meds or Imhotep. Lol
