I'd take that as a compliment. Embrace your schizophrenia and don't be afraid of it: don't let the world dictate the emotional state of your mind. Otherwise it's like a bad trip.
Ride the wave and embrace it as is. Then, write extensively before your mind is too dissociated to preform a task like that.

>> No.7909133

>>7909117
VALIS is just a self-flagellating caricature of PKD's theology written for laymen.

If you want the real meat and potatoes, read the exegesis.

If you like TMR he's probably right. If you don't do hard drugs and like TMR he's definitely right. No, but seriously, you should consider that he might be right. If you're wrong you'll end up like those homeless guys who scream at nothing. Knowing next to nothing about your situation I don't know, just consider you may be wrong (TMR is a red flag though).

If not schizo you may have a borderline personality.

I said it's a red flag. Not "oh you're definitely schizo". If you said you're favorite book was mien kampf I would call that a red flag too. People's interests are a part of who they are. Listening to that album is an action you do. It's not ridiculous to say that you're actions and interests give people a good idea of what mental illness you might have

>> No.7911175

>>7911139
Nevermind I read that as "Whats wrong with you screaming.."

Anyway, everything. it minimizes your chances of having friends or lovers and makes people uncomfortable being around you. It ruins the happiness of you and those around you... pretty bad by definition
