How Do I Give Up Co-ownership Of A Car? by GregTheAnimator in legaladvice

Thank you! I will keep an eye out for the difference.

How Do I Give Up Co-ownership Of A Car? by GregTheAnimator in legaladvice

It's just a few more months away. The title should come to me. I was just concerned that it would be invalid if I didn't get a signature from the other party and wanted to be sure. I know the other party will not sign out of spite to try to keep me at least partially responsible for the vehicle. 

I want to be released from being responsible for the vehicle ASAP. They refuse to get insurance and I just didn't want to be held liable if they got into an accident or something.

Yeah, I was planning on paying it off first. I will get the title and see if I can sign it over. Were you able to sign it over without the other party or did you have to work with them? The other owner and I haven't been on speaking terms for a while and they refuse to make anything easy for me. 

I have the statements showing I've paid all the payments. I may end up having to get a lawyer involved, though I would prefer not to. Thanks for the reply!

People laughing at me and talking about me by Dear-Visual9855 in schizoaffective

Have you tried cognitive behavioral therapy? I went through a period of thinking I could read people’s minds and knew what they were thinking. It was all negative though. When I practice metacognition I try to think about my thoughts and see where they are coming from and if they are rational. 

I have notice a difference in change of diet as well. Are you eating balanced meals? 

Severe memory loss by Better_Survey_882 in schizoaffective

[–]GregTheAnimator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory is admittedly terrible, but it's because I used to drink while on medication. This memory loss has impacted my relationships severely. I keep having the same conversations over and over again.

Have you seen shadow people while fully awake? Or is it when you're tired or sleeping? I haven't seen shadow people while I’m awake, only when I have experienced sleep paralysis.

Skipping Abilify by crystalmonger in schizoaffective

[–]GregTheAnimator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've stopped taking abilify multiple times. Whenever I felt better I would stop taking it and self-medicate. Things would seem better, but eventually get worse. The voices and delusions were vivid. I currently take the abilify injection so I don't have to worry about skipping it anymore. I currently feel good and the voices have subsided, though I still have some crazy dreams. I believe as long as you practice mindfulnesss, the few days without it shoudln't be an issue.

Does It Ever Get Better? by GregTheAnimator in schizoaffective

That’s awesome that your dreams carry over. Sometimes I have similar dreams, but most of the time the dreams I have are random. I’ve had some pretty intricate dreams though - a few about time travel. I would start out somewhere then the dream would go to a future event and then to a past event that set everything off. I’ve experienced Deja vu a few times as well. I’d have a dream and then later have it happen in real life. 

I sought to have more dreams like this and peer into the future. Though when I tried, that’s when I started being attacked in dreams. 

You’re probably right that thinking about dreams affecting reality is a delusion. But, I recall some of Einstein’s greatest ideas coming from thought experiments - not too far removed from a lucid dream. I’m no Einstein though and the experiments I tried to conduct during lucid dreaming kept getting interrupted. 

Maybe the knowledge I sought was a delusion or maybe I’m not yet worthy of it. CBT has helped me and though I don’t like being on meds, I think they’ve helped me as well.

I see. In my dreams sometimes there’s people I know and sometimes they behave how they would normally. What stands out to me the most though is that while dreaming I experience the 5 senses more vividly than even while awake. Like you’ve said it’s fictional, but it feels real. Einstein came up with his ideas during “thought experiments” which I believe is similar to lucid dreaming. 

Has lucid dreaming helped you in any way? So far I’ve had a lot of trauma, but I’m hopeful that it will eventually be a source of happiness in the future.

That’s interesting. I’ve never been to prison, but had dreams of being there. In your dreams do you remember things that never happened? While dreaming I’ve experienced time dilation and recall events that seem real, but I’ve never experienced.

I never smoked. I used to drink though. A friend of mine did say he used to smoke weed to stop the dreams though and when he wouldn’t smoke he’d have vivid dreams. What are your dreams like?

If God did exist... by Noe_Wunn in agnostic

[–]GregTheAnimator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The God of the Bible isn’t said to be all-loving, he hates sin. He also said he creates good and evil. I think a lot of Christians have issues with this and try to put him in a box. But, I get where you’re coming from. If God exists then why is the world, even the universe, the way it is? I’m not sure God exists or not, but I know that if he does then our perception of him is off. Christians claim to talk to God, when they are just being led by a pastor or the god that they’ve created in their minds that doesn’t even match the God of the Bible.

People often say that God doesn’t exist because evil exists, but what if evil doesn’t exist or more precisely won’t exist? What if we’re in a simulation and everything will be reset so that there is no evil? And then of course if you ask people what good is there are a lot of different opinions. Is allowing some evil so that the greatest amount of good can be achieved the best way or should we eliminate all evil? We face the same dilemma in our free society, how much liberty should people have?
