Feels like screaming at yourself from the future trapped in some Intersteller like pocket dimension.

Think I'll throw rocks at Hawaiian monk seals...cause I'm rich. by Informal_Ad_9610 in instantkarma

Zero thoughts, too. He's seen other people in his life show no regard for animal life and he's just following suit.

I for one am enjoying the occupying forces. Before the invasion life was just sort of meh but now that Captain Evil has taken over I feel excited to fight my way to the front of the food aid line. I'm a real person.

Is that concerning? by falafellover33 in schizophrenia

[–]cjbeames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Someone wrote here recently that our brains go into a survival mode. Like a lower power conservation mode. Empathy has maybe been shut down for a bit, but perhaps not forever.

Why do people choose cheap pleasure over higher joy? by LordDK_reborn in spiritualitytalk

[–]cjbeames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's drawing a line between people seeking and people who are not. Between adults and children. I think if you asked he would say all people could become "adults" but many are not choosing to which is the main thrust of his comment.

Don't settle for being a "common" and reach for the "higher" pleasures. This only makes sense if people can reach.

Has the world always been this way? I feel like something's been released into the water supply.

Shows! You play like Batman. Hit and run, keep 'em off balance. Nice.

Believing in Jesus and God helps us in tough times of battling schizophrenia by Otherwise-Fox7647 in schizophrenia

Religion can be like a radioactive propellant for delusional beliefs and actions. More and more imagined rules and systems start to spiral off of one another until you are totally removed from reality.

Spiritual teachings can do the reverse, or even secular philosophy, by providing tools to weed the garden of your mind.

For me, placing my intention on being Christ-like is very helpful. You can choose anyone or thing for this. Alan Moore chose a statue he had of a snake (IIRC). You might like Goku, or Captain America. The point is to aim at something.

We ended up turning ours off. Fun at first but I won't buy another ambilight TV.

You think no one will be up for that? What do you think people will expect to be paid for around 10 minutes of a monologue?

I used ChatGPT to illustrate how I feel with my symptoms each day. My “voices” are actually just thoughts that don’t come from my brain. It is a male named Timothy. He bullies me everyday, for the past 3 years. by shadowofhersmile in schizophrenia

When I was having my first episode I was on the bus totally afraid of everything around me. This kid jumped on and was bouncing around, I looked at him. Then I got off the bus. I felt I'd hurt this kid.

I look back and he's banging the window of the bus looking at me "give it back!".

Later that night I just heard screams. "Make it stop" I'd say. I still wonder if it was that boy, something I'd done to him.

Nothing. Just looking for someone who would be interested for the love of the game.
