For you guys that had these experiences, please don't think I was implying you were mentally ill. I just wanted to point out how similar the symptoms were to your own experiences. It's all very weird and sci-fi. Maybe there are some mentally ill people (by our definition) who are not as deluded as they are "fractured", meaning they are somehow affected by this multiple time-line thing or whatever it is. Jj, imagine having to deal with the type of experience YOU had on a daily basis, with things as small as "what's in the refrigerator today" to as big as "God I hope I'm married to the hot-girl I was yesterday". I don't think a person could hold a job, have a relationship, or anything that we see as ordinary life skills if that was a daily occurrence.
A person like that we say is mentally ill, pick your illness. Schizophrenic, paranoia, dis associative disorder, deluded. It's hard to grasp for those of us that have not seen it or experienced it.
I am an Iraqi war veteran. Upon returning, I immediately began having severe symptoms of Post Trauma Stress Disorder. It escalated, and now accompanies dissociative disorder, psychosis NOS, and several other things. I have had to come to the understanding that I actually am one of the "crazy" people that everyone jokes about. Now I have to wonder...
For about 3 years now I've been having contact with other forces (almost impossible to explain), who I feel is giving me vital information pertinent to the situation at hand. I rarely leave my house, as I constantly have to wonder: Am I in (I call it a "dream world", but for the sake of the topic, I'll say "another realm")...sorry. Am I in the physical world in my physical body? Am I in this parallel, separate realm where I can fly with my mind, and connect with others just by looking at them?
So, I can see both sides. Am I totally crazy? The govt. thinks so. But I think some of this diagnosis is due to my poor ability to explain what it's like to constantly live two lives, each lived as best as I can. If I don't really know which one is real, how am I supposed to realize the consequences of breaking a law or rule in another dimension? I plead...Is there anyone who actually will come forward who has been diagnosed with a mental illness, and also has had these OBE type experiences during random times, such as at night and again the next afternoon? I'd like to hear from someone on both sides.
