With my therapist last week, I said something to the effect that I want to know what the cause of my mental illness is. My therapist said: "Could that be part of your mental illness?". In the group session, I said I get fear sensations when half asleep and half awake for 10 minutes. It is in...

They doubled my Mirtazapine. I took them last night. Anxiety is 1/5 of what it was previously. I feel normal but cannot think hard. I feel tired and sad, but not anxious.

In this thread, I will explain the article I found about a brain model of the theory of mind in robots. We have an attention of what others know and what we know. This is recurrent in memory. When we see that others have a false belief this creates a conflict in the neuronal circuits. So we pay...

Cog posted this image: I am not 100% sure how the anime goes but in Evangelion, the girl Asuka saw her mother die at age 4. I do not recall what happened to the father. Asuka wanted to be recognized, so she did wild shit. I think that when no one sets boundaries for a person growing up, you...

I will not question what others think. All this leads to is eternal frustration. I did in the past thought I could. Talking to people gave me something to do. Now there is nothing to do. But I tried to learn computers. I was not the best at doing this. However, doing nothing is worse. If I can...

My roommate told me that in the hospital in 2019 the man who took my drawings and talked to me privately was using me as a remote viewer. I made 4 drawings about stuff. 1) my house fire escape 2) Star Trek hyperlains 3) medical math equations 4) a letter to the president miscellaneous 5) a...

Basically, it is a memory box. It tries something and if that does not work tries something else. It remembers what happened and this builds up representations. These representations can be used to think ahead with an expansion rule. It self-organizes representations based on their...

First: What is Autism? Commonly it is believed that autism is an impaired social function. However, it has been shown that autism is correlated with high IQ and parents with high IQ. Notice how when people say "There is something different about that person but I don't know what" they are...

I have not totally figured it out yet. But I saw a video saying the basal ganglia is important for breaking big problems into smaller ones. I found this article and this image (not by the same research teams) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00354-019-00081-z -

This is a bit confusing: see the bottom for a clean summary. My first two examples are Adora and Catra. I mark them as the contrast between the opposites of Extraversion and Introversion, but they share all four of the same functions. Extraverted Sensing happens to be more controlled by the...

emotions don't work for me right now I do not think they work mental hospitals are bad places I need to sleep more

This is very stressful but I will try and explain what it is that makes it hard right now for me to talk to anyone. People often assume that when you say something you are saying it because you believe it 100% and will die defending it. This is not true in the sense that rational people who...

I think what happens is that before the mind shuts down we are trying to understand what is happening but can't seem to. So before we completely shut off mistakes happen. These mistakes lead us to question what we are doing and notice delirium. At that point, all we can do is find a safe spot to...

I do not understand it. Most times I do not have thoughts, I just feel bad or good. Thoughts happen unconsciously I suppose, I don't talk to myself in my head. So what is this supposed to be about? Do people really monolog things in their heads, to me that is not thinking at all. To say...

I saw a video on the new IQ test called The WAIS-5 coming out in September 2024 - An IQ score is invalidated if the difference between two or more indexes is more than a standard deviation on the WAIS-4 - The video said the new test has a profile of Autism with processing speed and working...

I am reading a book called "Masculinity in the Making". It explains how men suppress themselves when they have depression. That is to say, when men feel sad, they stop themselves from feeling it and rather express anger externally. I think this is why I was feeling numb because I was angry...

Few words have been spoken about God's attributes here on this forum. I tried to ascribe them in some debates, but giving them here in full would be pertinent. First, we can see that the world follows certain rules. I believe these rules are based on consciousness. Things can move within...

Does anyone know what this is? The mind seems to exist, it is only that experiences pass through it and are impermanent. what else could this mean? Would neuroscience explain some of it?

That may be my problem. I want to feel things but how? I tried to tell people about it but that did not work. So I should try something different? I think I might need to do something physical. Like yoga or tai chi I find that just sitting and doing nothing helps when I can clear my mind...

As the algorithmic mathematical advancements in brainwave analysis increase due to computational limitations disappearing, there are many opportunities on the horizon for cheap diagnostic tools for the masses to become available. Schizophrenia has long been seen as a condition where people...

I thought of the difference between an INFP and ISFP today, the first has emotions that lead to ideas (whereas ENFP gets ideas from the environment that triggers emotions), and the second has emotions that draw into themselves the need to attach to nearby stimulus (Whereas the ESFP gets...

The oscillations that create brainwaves form assemblies of neuronal activation where processes are assigned to regions and those regions recruit other areas in the task at hand. It is the coordination of all the brain together. This is the highest correlation between brain activity and...

I saw a commercial on the PlayStation four tv channel at my sister's apartment. It blew my mind how complex those animations were. Those people who came up with 3D rendering engines in the 80s were amazingly smart. I saw the pictures of what a cray 2 supercomputer could do in the middle school...

As I have gone through many images of such female and male MBTI renditions I have noticed a pattern. First, the female INTP is seen as a nerd but in several nerd girl images, I can tell these girls have either very male or female-type energy. An example is In Dragon Maid where Miss Kobayashi is...

I lost touch with reality after school. I was put on disability when I got depressed for not being able to complete college. That was hard because I never did much even if I kept trying to learn. But more so I believe my mother is mentally disabled in some way. So then no one cared about...

On the left side of the brain, we have sequential language logic. On the right side of the brain, we have visual-spatial motion. This is because language takes over the left side with symbols understanding and speech production/understanding. The right side has to take over much of the load...

Let's say you had 500 gigabytes of data on a specific individual. This data could be structured in a graph or simply a hierarchical network. With the right kind of maths we could predict what this individual does. Not only could you sell stuff to them but you could know who they vote for and...

first steps? maybe give up control to not be affected by anything? but everything seems too important not to let go. thinking about how I was conditioned: life seems to punish you for acting emotional which makes me bottle things up at times I am not allowed to feel emotions or then bad...

Sit, do nothing extravert the stimuli

I think we are allowed to feel bad for ourselves sometimes. It is ok to feel bad if we know that we have pain inside. There is no reason to blame ourselves, but we need to understand we are hurt. This realization will allow us to be ok.

I never had a brain scan for my MBTI type but I believe it is possible to know what type you are from a brain scan empirically and definitively. But what if you could change your brain waves to become a different type altogether? The reason we have our set brainwaves is because of the white and...

I am INFJ and my roommate is ESFP I let them do what they want when they want to. but the emotions are super high in them they play videogame fast and can make electronic things I do not much talk to them about science because they believe things I do not but it has been two and a half...

VR headset + PlayStation 5 + 4K television quantum dot processor + 4 terabyte external drive ($24) All at Walmart I have no idea what these things are capable of but if the math is correct: we all live inside the computer to some degree (or they have us modeled to a high accuracy)

So why is it a bad thing to clean your room? When I was 6 years old I remember my dad had a trailer with cigarettes everywhere. When my brother became my dad's age he was 6 times as filthy and damaged my mom's property by at least $20,000 My sister did drugs and had sex with more than 10 men...

Ni might be different from Ne Even if Ti would be shared That would be the confusion perhaps? I think I met an old woman who was Te dom (ESTJ) She said: "either you know or you don't" I have memory problems, so I can't think fast. But I like to get everything down in order so nothing is...

Since "existence" is too ambiguous for some people: what if stuff is made of in this reality and why is stuff only in selective places in reality?

Usually, people hang out with people like themselves. Being lower class is hard. No one cares about anything. They always do things the wrong way. They always get taken advantage of or take advantage of others.

At first, I was thinking about how Se observes things. It really does nothing but take in what is extraordinary details of all things. This gave me the idea that Fe is the same but for people. Fe takes in what it sees people doing and is non-reactive towards it. It can notice what people are...

Over the past two weeks, I have been doing allot of physical activities (cleaning my house walls and a lady's apartment) I got sick with a cold for the last 7 days and have been drinking lots of water at the same time walking to the store. This is better for me than not moving but so far my...

I am not good at history reports. I do not know what to do. All I had to do was print out what I had. I told her (this bald lady) I just had to finish or it did not matter. She would not let me and so I said something about the Illuminati She got really pissed off and said I did not deserve to...

They told me they were going around asking if any miracles had happened recently. I told them about my dog and how I sometimes lack a spiritual connection to God. Also, I told them I was sick so was kind of slow at the moment. Half the time I did not look them in the eyes because of...

So what I am about to describe is highly speculative. Please take this as an exploration of ideas. Given what I do know about physics, time is nonlinear. Meaning it is not a static block. If it were then nothing would move. I believe we need a place for time to evolve into. That place is...

Disclaimer: This is my own understanding, not medical advice. From the pills I take I have medications for convulsions, schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and autistic traits. They help me to function normally and I want to explain how I think they work to show what might be happening. A seizure...

Memory works in chunks. The key aspect is getting the right information about a problem at the right time. So when we look into the world it is the salience network that compresses all the irrelevant data to the chunk we should be working on. When that is done we get it right what goal we were...

When ones personal investment in an idea or subject has at most some kind of understanding behind it, this can make it difficult to tell others in such a way then you will be given feedback as to be constructive. Your understanding is not exactly the same as others so the case will be that...

I was thinking of the whole stack of functions for this type. I had recently met a true INTJ who had me restructure my whole view on what type is. First, the INTJ really is a form of the archetype of the alchemist. They look into the relationship between mind and matter. They do...

I had for a long time some energy blockages. I think it has to do with not having self-control. I sometimes feel compelled to do stuff. Yet when I hold back I have to realize, that I am in my body. - There is a big disconnect between my head and body. I that this in a way is my aversion...

Introversion = reflecting Extraversion = taking in Perception (irrational) N - abstracting S - detecting Judgment (rational) F - valuation T - causative Ni - knowing without previous forethought (a confluence of internal events) Ne - everything with everything else (what is with what and...

This is what happens when you mix Ne with Te
