Mental Illness

[Ankh]

If I told them I thought I was possessed, or that I could see ghosts, or feel things that weren't there, they automatically assumed I was just schizophrenic or something.

That stuff is for spiritual counselor. I didn't say anything extra paranormal to my shrink. They would only get confused as they practice scientifically approved medicine, thus doing so he needs to classify you as a "crazy person".

Most of those memories I cherish, though. They're like finding lost puzzle pieces...pieces of me. They also give me story ideas. Some of the places I see look like they came right out of a sci-fi novel...and I happen to write sci-fi novels! What a pleasant coincidence!

I feel exactly the same.

Have you tried to publish any of yours? I've finished my book, but it feels quite confusing now to continue to edit it. Now that Ra material gave me many words for my previous concepts plus filled in the blank spots - what to do with it now? Shall I adjust it to my new, more complete, view or leave it as it is, but then it doesn't feel geniune... :-/

ahktu - have you by any chance considered kinesiology? I have a friend who uses the technique in his clinical ecology practice for discovering the causes of things such as tiredness, bloatedness, insomnia etc. It's linked to the diet, which of course, effects the chemical balance of the body. This imbalance is capable of causes many issues, including effecting the way the brain works.

Might be worth a pop.

Namaste, I've never really even heard of kinesiology. I guess it would depend on the cost. My insurance is crap and probably wouldn't cover it, and I have very little of my own money to spend right now. Still, I've had people drop me freebies before. One of the main healers I work with worked on me for free several times before I finally insisted on paying him, even though he's usually a bit expensive. I had to shove the money at him or he probably would have continued to ignore the fact that he wasn't getting paid.

Ankh, if I can ever get my comic finished, I plan to self-publish it. I have so little time to devote to it, though, and it's such a huge project. To really be able to do the kind of work I want to do on it, it would have to be a full time job, and I pretty much already have one of those.

My main story I've completely re-written three or four times, because, as my views and beliefs changed, the old versions no longer reflected who I am. This story is like my manifesto. It's the type of thing that if someone picks it up after I'm gone, they can read it and know what I stood for while I was alive. If part of it feels 'wrong', I can't rest until it's fixed, even if it takes me until after I'm gone to get it how I want.

It's also known as muscle testing, it's a very - VERY - simple process. If you were here (i.e. where I live), I'd be happy to show you the basics and run over a session. Have a look on Google, I'm sure there will be some free resources.

If not, a video skype call would be sufficient in which to teach you yourself :¬)
