It's very fascinating to me!! I've never thought about schizophrenia like that, but I have never been close to it. It amazes me how one brain is able to produce multiple seemingly independent personalities.
What do they look like? If they take any form that can be described. Do they interact with the environment, like sit on a chair? Or is it the kind of visual when you see it more in your head? It would be very cool if she looked like Jiae… Or any kqt I guess.
Do you have any comments on the "tulpa" phenomenon? Basically self induced schizophrenia where you imagine a friend until it seems real. Maybe you could actually create a new friendly personality, since your brain is used to that kind of function? Just tell me when I'm completely wrong, I'm speculating.

I like it too, all tough I'm pretty sure it's accosted with some strange tumblr stuff. I don't know much about that. But it seems to me it reflects the situation of sharing one head with multiple personalities.
I hope that "peep" was your friend coming through! I feel like I can understand you, now maybe I'm wrong but I would feel a very deep sense of loss if a friend of mine that close, that used to help me, disappeared. Isn't the bond even deeper since they are a part of you?
There's so much I could ask you.
Why would lucid dreaming be dangerous for you? Are you good at inducing and controlling lucid dreams? For as long as I can remember I have realized dreams were dreams. I think it's because my brain is too rational. I realize the stuff in dreams is not real because it's absurd. That also stops me from staying immersed in the dream. Only once I have succeeded, I "spawned" a naked girl I like of course. It was beautiful, even though it only lasted for a second.
Honestly I would be concerned about treatment too… I don't know where you are, but where I am the risk of getting "take in" is minuscule. There's simply no resources! The only time you get taken in is when you want to kill someone (including yourself). A friend of mine is bipolar, he gets "lyrica" for it. Seems like an actually good drug to me, works well for him. Sometimes he stops too, for the "high periods", but it always ends with him being really depressed and takings his meds.
I only got different kind of SSRIs, but no working drugs for the anxiety the SSRIs even amplified. Because those drugs are "addictive narcotics". Honestly I'm way more willing to believe in "narcotic" drugs. "It's addictive!!" No shit it's addictive if it actually helps you be a normal human being. Yeah being able too function is very addictive. Obviously. /rant
What do you think about the theories that hildhood trauma cases most mental "illnesses"? It's clear we live in different timezones…
