I choose hokum. I saw from your comments that the voices are raging in the last week or so , have you being taking the meds?
Its ā ā ā ā ā ā ā vicious what it does to him
how can telepathy delusion still got stucked there despite the meds?
Donāt know , the meds should make some kind of impact. Iām going to go out on a ledge and say he is not taking them. His DX is schiz , its not like he is bipolar and cycling every few weeks , donāt know how you can go from relative stability to a situation where voices are absolutely raging , that was never my experience of schizophrenia or the meds. @SoitGoes forgive me if Iām wrong.

Wellā¦forgive me Bryan too but i gotta say it loud.
How can one cope with sz without seeing a doc in a long time?
Ah these topicsā¦ it seems to me when we are having a hard time with our symptoms and becoming psychotic we are so much inclined to explore topics at the borders of common sense. To suspend what is sometimes called a ānaturalā attitude and to become psuedo-philosophers or theologians of some kind. Like we need something more than one is typically satisfied with. Some people are of course philosophers or theologians by profession and think about such things too. But I think in our case it is pathological. For it seems so hard for us to stop it and just live life as usual when psychotic, there seems a need for metaphysical specaulation. But as long as we cannot escape this tendency to step outside and explore these borders in thought, we might want to turn it onto itself, and explore this tendency itself. What is it that we are looking for beyond the bounds of common sense, and what will satisfy our āinvestigationsā? I think what comes with it is a disdain of āmereā conventions and perhaps a craving for originality. Maybe a solipsistic tendency to create - disguised as a discovery of - the ātrueā foundations of a world. But then it becomes āmyā worldā¦ Most of what our explorations will come up with is hokum indeed, I agree, but why do we seem to crave it? I know I crave for such things when psychotic, and it is tough work to stay in tune.

The only thing I really crave is to be ME! and there are times I do not care if that is psychotic or unhealthy. That is purely judgement, anyway. Just let me be ME! That is my most difficult assignment on Planet Earth!
I have some sympathy with that sentiment , all I would say is the world keeps turning , people get older , and I would suggest that there comes a time when people have to find some stability and grounding in this hard hard life , being psychotic is not as much of a problem when you have a support structure , but that support structure could erode naturally as a person ages.
I wish I could explain itā¦ I donāt have any science behind itā¦ but I do deeply believe in reincarnation.
right nowā¦ Iām trying to keep calm and not get carried away by astral projection.
All this out of body feelā¦ I know itās called depersonalizationā¦ but the out of body experience is getting stronger.
What if it does turn into astral projectionā¦ while being out of the bodyā¦ that is how I connect into that euphoric universal consciousā¦ my sis keeps telling meā¦ Iām not predicting the futureā¦ but everything feels like a Deja Vu.

I hope your liking the new place and settling in ok.
Had an episode of insomnia that led to me putting off the actual move. If I can get a good nights rest Iāll start moving ā ā ā ā in.
Was a pretty bad episode.
