>>4230048>I didn't mean to belittle or say that everyone who goes to psychologists is an idiot.Don't worry homie, I didn't take it that way.
>What problems do you usually face, I don't want to blogpost about my life so I'll be brief.
Problems I usually face are matters of Objective Reality vs Subjective Reality. When faced with tasks and/or decisions, I need to discover whether or not my reaction is one of Objective Reality (something that exists outside of perception) or Subjective Reality (something that is altered based on how I perceive it.) So basic decision making can be a pain because it can bleed into subtle delusions that I've somehow been building in my head.
>Do I go to the shop? Does the shop even exist? Yes, the shop exists, I've been there before. But what if that was a hallucination? It wasn't a hallucination, we have receipts from the store. Thus the store is an objective part of reality, something that exists outside of how I perceive it.>how much the voices influence you?Quite a bit, but it's not always negative. My voice is like an old friend, I've had it since my early teens. Now, many years later, I couldn't picture life without it. Sometimes it's pleasant, other times it wants me to kill and eat people. Other times it just argues with me over whether or not we're having tea or coffee. Sometimes, when I'm not doing so hot, the voice becomes more and more convincing, so I'm more likely to do something it suggests. To date, I've chased someone with a sword, bottled someone, tried to drown someone and injured my brothers hand with a knife. In my 32 years of living with my voice, those few events are the closest I've come to being REALLY bad. So yeah, it influences me quite a lot, that's why I need to stay on top of things with the docs, take notes, stay on top of meds etc
