#5 My Journey to the Mountains of Madness
Upon further observation of myself, I have found that I am starting to… misinterpret what I see. Example would be seeing a black scarf and thinking it was a cat. I have to take a double glance at it, asking “we don’t cat?” Also I am not understanding what people say, they have to say it around three times before I can fully understand what they are saying. It’s like the words don’t make any sense to me. Like it’s another language that I barely understand. Is this how you start losing your grip on reality? Is this how insanity, craziness, or being psychotic begins?
So are you getting any treatment for your mental issues???
No, nor have I seen anybody about my condition. For my parents believe that I am on drugs and don’t seem to care about it. I don’t want to use there insurance, so I need to pay in cash, find a doctor that I like, and that is a reasonable price.
I would use their insurance anyway. It is really too expensive otherwise. I understand your not wanting to use the insurance. I did that before when I was younger, but save yourself the money and use the insurance. Your parents probably just don’t understand what is going on. Most people in the general public don’t understand mental illness. I’ve known people who thought I was on drugs too when I was actually sick. You NEED to see someone! The faster you get treatment the easier it will be for you to get better and you’ll get better faster too. It might take a long time for your parents to understand what is going on. Until then, please go get help so things don’t get worse.
These are problems with your perceptions that show you that something is wrong. You are having problems perceiving things clearly and/or thinking clearly.
I agree with not perceiving and thinking clearly.
