yeah, you tried the same deflection in the thread where you claimed to have expert qualifications in psychology. People with mental illness never use it as an excuse for their actions in my experience but people with personality disorders often use mental illness as an excuse for their actions. Make sense ?
Well, I said that I had an "intermediate understanding of psychology" or something to that effect. I believe it was you making the claims that I was claiming "expert qualifications in psychology". And again you state that above.
Only my social worker from 13 years ago I can remember claiming that I have good insight into my own personality. But, I suppose he could have said that about anyone demonstrating an ability to rattle off some memorised textbooks on the topic of psychology. The only other psychologists I have spoken to have said that I have good potential and have a bright intellect... and then added "but you are not the expert".
I will give you a few examples of my mental health. Upon my admission to hospital, I thought that some people were actually other people I had known from my past. Mistaken identity seems to be the main feature of my schizophrenia that is part of me to this day. The first two weeks, I did have the "Truman Show Syndrome" where I was the unwilling star of my stay in hospital. There was the conspiracy against me issue when I was not taken off the Involuntary Treatment Order after 6 months. A movie I watched "Lady in the water" and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" had features of horror that almost had me having a stroke. But they do not come close to bothering me today. Very much a symptom of a chemical imbalance in the brain.
The only symptom of my schizophrenia that I have remaining that cannot be corrected with or without medication is my "deja vu" mindset. That I have lived my life over and over again.
But even my schizophrenia worst cannot compare to the mental derangement of some man who dresses up like a 6 years old girl.
