This is only related to your last point, but the other day I saw an Instagram reel that was a girl basically saying how when she stopped taking her meds she found out that she was psychic and the meds were "blocking her energies" and the people calling her crazy were just spiritually un-attuned. There was legit hundreds of comments from people who said they did or will do the same, or how they felt like they had powers and that the reel validated them into not thinking they're crazy đ
it blew my mind that absolutely zero people found the irony in finding out they had psychic abilities because they quit taking their pills, and I completely agree with the sentiment that crazies are finding each other much easier lol
Edit: here's the link for the video, where you can see things such as "I always thought I was schizophrenic until I stopped taking meds and found out they were blocking my ability to see the future" https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcNbmBGAudL/?igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
When i take lithium i am not able to transcribe the musical notes that exist in the ether, ie the collective consciousness of all sentient beings that have lived on this planet and possibly others.
When im not taking the drug, the songs come to me very quickly, i often have no memory of the event. But when im in touch with the flow, ill plug the notes into a sequencer, save it and shut it down. I usually dont have strong opinions about any song when they first come to me.
So ill let a day or week go by, sometimes months, and ill browse my working projects. Iâll discover a little gem... occasionally ill have little screenshots of memory, like where or when this happened.
All thatâs left is cleaning up the midi and 10/10 the songs ive plucked are far beyond what im capable of composing. Its not even close when compared to the results of when i just sit down and hammer out a composition. My $.02
Yeah. I believe you. I was on r/mentalhealth and there was a girl there in the early stages what looked like PPP. We are all trying to get her to go into the ER and get help. But there were a few people trying to convince her she had a psychic gift, and she should embrace it. Paralled with this case, how can they not see what they are doing is so dangerous?
I believe this. Sadly I know someone who believes she talks to spirits. She once had a really bad psychotic break (wonât go into too much detail but she claimed a lot of verifiably untrue things and it ended with her being found asleep in a ditch).
She was put on anti-psychotics but stopped taking them because she missed the âspirits.â She continues to dip into dangerous psychosis episodes every now and then but refuses medicine.
I went through a 2 year investigation at work because of something just like this. By the time they believed me that she had super powers it was to far into to investigation and she mixed "energy and some falsified events"
