Xocrates Vs Xocrates: You would think I'm paranoid

[Xocrates]

This was a very strange game. Sometimes it looked like Xocrates knew what I was doing.

[DueAccident]

I always knew Xocrates would win.

Saw that game, but didnt enter it because it was nearing the end. So what were you doing?

Long story short, I challenged Xocrates for a duel and we happened to have some free time earlier today.

I always knew Xocrates would win.

Yeah! I was a bit surprised to see Xocrates lose so badly though.

Xocrates, stop playing with yourself

[Erasmus J Homeowner]

saw the game in progress today. I take it it was you on a demo and a regular account?

Yep! It was interesting that the one not hosting lagged a significant amount, but I take it that it was due to my crappy Pc.

Xocrates, stop playing with yourself

But... but... it's fun!

If only Xocrates had sent at least 2 carriers to indian... but then again, had xocrates seen those 2 carriers hed have been able to kill them with ease, unless xocrates sent battleships, but what if xocrates also had used indian... hard to tell but had that happened my money would be on xocrates.

Actually, schizophrenia is NOT the same thing as MPD (multiple personality disorder) In fact, if you want, I could get my personal forensic psychiatrist (AKA: My mom) to disprove you on that.

I knew this was gonna come when I wrote that post. Although your mom is a forensic psychiatrist I can guarantee you I am a much, much bigger expert on schizophrenia, because I happen to suffer from it myself. My current diagnosis is "Schizo-affective" (Norwegian standard at least), which is a mix (roughly put) of manic-depression and schizophrenia (S)

Although MPD and S. are two different illnesses, they have a lot in common, such as changes in personality (both type and manners) and issues with behaviour. People with MPD can indeed have several different "entities" co-existing unknowingly, but some patients can recall the changes and knows what triggers them

People with S can change behaviour and perform tasks that seem pointless or illogical to the surroundings. Both MPD and S have degrees and more severe cases function badly. I have it under control (for the time being), but when I was sick in the past I did some pretty weird stuff. Impossible to explain in short, but having an S-attack is like walking around in a waking dream. Logic is all your own and all your senses go haywire.

And this is the key: A brain with a full blown S-attack is like a short-circuited computer. Signals go to the wrong addresses and you can hallucinate and/or do stuff you normally never would do. So a person with S can indeed be evaluated as different persons. At least if you see the difference between the "normal" individual and the ill one. It's possibly this fact that has made the public confused to what an S-person really is. People talk of S. without knowing anything about it. Schizophrenia has publicly been defined as "split-personality", which is far from reality. (but not THAT far):

MPD and S can sometimes be wrongly diagnosed, before the subject is observed more thoroughly. (Some) people with S have voices inside their heads, which really is a detached inner voice/monologue that (many) patients think are someone else, be it "god/demons/dead ppl/entities". Severe cases of S can be defined with inhabiting several different personalities when you observe different behaviour patterns of an S-patient. MPD/S affects many of the same areas of the brain and some patients suffer from both.


I do not agree with many of the diagnostics that psychiatrists make, but in my case it is valid enough. I keep it in check with medication without too many sideeffects. After many years of testing and failing I now have a medicine that works ok, but many of these brands that psychiatrists like to call "medication" is indeed making lots of peoples life a living hell. They are getting better, yes, but treating personal problems with chemistry is mindblowing to me. And they use drugs too much when they should be looking at diets, excercise, activation.

I have received help from the psychiatry, but a lot of my treatment could have been augmented. In fact, I pretty much disagrees with everything the psychiatry is doing. If you categorize what psychiatrists are doing (very roughly speaking), you end up with psychoanalysis and medication. As most professional health care workers (where I live) in the P. are fed up with handling psychos (excuse my expression) all day long, year after year - they tend to get lazy. Meaning that medication ends up being the biggest bulk of their "treatment".

I have found an extremely gifted and talented holistic practitioner that deals with everything about me - food, meditation, healing etc etc.
I keep everything down by developing myself instead of just taking drugs to suppress symptoms. I do not think psychiatrists (such as you mom) are useless or without competence, I just think most of them only have so many buttons to press (and most of those buttons are pills). I think they need to expand their horizon and open up to the endless sea of knowledge about the human psyche that doesn't focus on synapses and the pharmaceutical suppression of these.




Sorry for the lecture, but I had to go all the way to map it for you. Hope it's a little bit clearer.

If you don't mind me prying, which are you? Are you able to recall what triggers them?

too long. i got through one paragraph and stopped. Had it been physics or chemistry i would have. well placed arguement. I will read through it later.

I'm S-affective. I don't have different personalities, but my behaviour can drastically change if I get sick, such as aggression level and stubborness (due to my internal perception that tells me of signals being completely real). If I'd suffered from severe MPD I wouldn't know that my other personality wrote this.
