Psychic Or Psychotic?

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

My step mum believes in psychics. When asked if I do...
Well if I DID then I wouldn't be undergoing bloody shrinks for psychosis!

Mutter mutter.

How do you tell 65 year old woman that her "psychic" would be diagnosed as psychotic?

[Triple Zero]

Not all psychics are psychotics.

And even the psychics that do in fact suffer psychosis, might not have it so bad as to be debilitating.




So um, being psychotic is not actually an excuse for believing that shit? (actual serious question)

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

I'm probably being cynical, but if what had happened to me was not psychosis, and believe me, there are some fucked up correlations in some of my episodes that I cannot explain, like the fact when my voices were at there worst at my place, I had gone for a walk and the extra voice I only hear in my flat  talk about me resulted in my going outside my place and seeing an extra light on in the flat I thought it was in on, if I could have rationalised it as telepathy I would have not sought medical assistance.

In tribes that still hold shamanism as a belief system I would probably be seen differently, not as ill but gifted in some way seeing as my voices are mostly benevolent and concerned about me but they still fuck with my sleep and why I have to live with my dad currently cos I cannot sleep at my gaff.

I just think its funny that one persons psychic "gift" is another persons mental illness.

Fuck if I could have rationalised my shit as clairaudience and got it to stop it would have been easier.

Its also a bit of a fucker to review my posts properly on my fone. So I guess I will have to consider this further tommorow.

Any of this make any sense to anyone?

[Triple Zero]

No, but that might be me right now.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Hell I need to change the topic title really, but imma sort that out tommorow.

[Triple Zero]

You can do that by modifying the first post.

[Roaring Biscuit!]

that sounds pretty sucky pixie, my brother went through some shit like that a while ago.

On a lighter note, i read the first line as "My step mum believes in physics." and I couldn't see the problem with that.

Blackberry has limited capabilities 000 but ill see if I have managed to edit it nao.

And cheers scouse spag.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Me cannot edit on fone. Its a great toy but a poor substitute for a real connection.

Hell my reality filter is pretty good to be honest. A lot of times I know that it's me thinking but it just sounds like someone else, and they are always a bit on the ranty side!

Also I am pretty much sick of my dad and his leave it to the experts approach, which seems more like ostrich syndrome and the fact that when I try countering the paranoid with honesty about how I think it all kicked off it always seems to backfire. That and the NHS mental health services are woefully underfunded
And actually getting to see my shrink for more than half an hour a fortnight is frustrating.

I also cannot stand the food that either familial unit calls proper as they are invariably bland as shit and lacking in things like enough veg and this mystery substance known as fibre.

Oh and my doc won't take me off my current tricyclics until my shrink ok's it and the longer I am on these meds the longer it will be before I can get my teeth fixed as I need to be first weaned off them and cannot have anesthetic until its mostly out of my system. Let's hope they can actually keep my appt on Thursday eh?

Here ends hormonal tangent rant.
