inability to reflect normally

Postby bilooz » Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:07 pm

Hello,

I have trouble thinking normally, not at all

Does it come back with time? if yes, how much time do you know about your income?

Thank you for your reply

Everyone is different. Some people can come back to rational thought quicker than others through meds or therapy or a combo.

I had a really good 6th sense at one time and I used to hear voices coming out of the computer screen, going back about 6yrs. I can't do that anymore- I used to be able to pick up on stuff about people I can't now. There are pros and cons- when you get back to reality you lose any psychic abilities you had. My 6th sense is dead. You have to make decisions based on your logical mind, and figure things out by normal means. It's so depressing sometimes. It's like being crazy is a punishment for picking up on way too much and when you're sane, any gifts you have are taken away.

What is "normal" in this circumstance?

Could it be that healthy functioning is being labelled as abnormal in this regard?

It's not clear what you mean.

It's also not clear what you mean by using the word "income", though that's a language issue, whereas the issue of normalcy is more conceptual. I think you may have used the wrong word?

Anyway, what I find with myself is that anti-psychotics take away a lot of mental activity, making it hard to think in general. Psychosis makes thoughts have an unusual and almost magical nature to them. There's certainly a lot of mental activity going on, and I think it's what you mean by being "not normal".

So I would say to ask yourself why you want your thinking to be normal again, if that's what you're suggesting. There is a lot of life that you can't understand through normal means. If you learn to think in more unusual, creative ways, you can solve problems that most people can't.

It also might mean that you have a harder time doing what most people consider normal. Perhaps, though, that sort of thing isn't meant for you. Maybe you want to be able to do things that other people can do, or maybe that you used to be able to do, when really you're supposed to be doing different things.

So have a think about whether what you've noticed is actually a problem, because you may find that it is actually an improvement, though then again I could be wrong!
