I think schizophrenia is unusual.
- Do you actually feel special when you talk about your problems, or things you do, you see, you make, and what you think ?
Actually, as much as people would think otherwise, no.
My point stands there. Why ''escape'' into personas and alternate realities ? Bring me ''Human-dragons'', bring me ''humans with animal senses'', bring me a genuine animal, and then I might beleive.
As I said, alleviates stress.
Stop looking for hapiness in a world that does not exist. You exist, and you alone can model your existance. Always question your motives, your very existance, think, double-think, question your every mouvements... And then you may learn to know yourself...
There is a healthy amount of insanity that exist, to the degree that the concept that we are all sane people who live in reality is fucking stupid. To one extent, or another, we play around in a world that doesn't exist. Let it be just someone having an ego-trip and convinced they're the next big thing when they sound like a dying rat and have the intellect of someone half his age with down syndrome, or someone who has taken some time out to just role-play with someone else. Everyone does it. The concept that there is one entire shared reality is most likely true, but there is a great deal about perception. Your world may be different to mine, just because I've perceived things things differently. For example: Last night, apparently, some girl who went to my school got hit by a train. Now, people can perceive it as a bad thing. I perceive it as more of a good thing. People will perceive me as sick, and they wouldn't even care for reasons why I think that way. Another example is someone may be severely depressed as hell constantly. To everyone else, he has no reason to bitch and whine. To him, there's so many reasons, that he begins to lose count and can't be bothered listing them all.
The individualistic perception that is in all of us, is what makes us absolutely truly unique. It's only when the perception starts interfering with lives that people get to a stage that they may need a psychiatrist. You can be depressing, morbid and pessimistic, but the second you think of suicide or it interferes with the productivity of any work you do, that's when your individualistic perception has turned into a problem.
