i just noticed that if i stare at my face in the mirror, after about 10 seconds, my face looks just like an acid trip. it will look VERY transformed. my mouth gets covered up by some color for two seconds then goes away, then i noticed an eye or two will flash colors, and some other stuff. could it be because of sitting in front of the computer all day for long periods of time? should i go see a doctor?

i'm seriously worried now!

The mind is a powerful thing (like an LSD trip.. its really whatever you make it.. the chemical doesnt make you hallucinate, it opens a part of the brain that makes you be able to see things you couldnt fathom in a normal state) However, you seem to be freaking yourself out (like staring in the mirror for no apparent reason) and your making yourself see thing's. But chyea, being infront of the computer for long periods of time can also fuck with your head in unimaginale ways. If I sit here too long.. when I stand up I'm dizzy as hell and feel like my legs are wobbling/have blurred vision/feel spaced out

So yeah, relax.. but if you feel you should see a doctor.. definitley do.

im just worried it will go from staring at things making it look transformed like that to just looking around whenever looking like that. i sure hope it's just from the computer.

The fear you do to yourself of being schziophrenic/psychotic is 10 times worse than schizophrenia/psychosis

Believe me, I have friends/know people with schziophrenia/psychosis.. and they're normal people, they just have extremely odd belief's.. but to them, the beliefs are natural/real an nothing to fear

They would never question their delusions because thats what they are... DELUSIONS

You are not schizophrenic or insane, actually.. you are more sane then the average human, and thats why you fear the unusual

lemme put it this way.. im sure the human organic body wasnt built to sit in front of a computer all day.. or tv or video games. our bodies are made for survival.. thats why we have muscle so that we can keep moving. fat and hair intended for warmth and protection. eyes so that we can hunt and see our enemy. sounds very primative but its 100% not. its what we really should be doing with ourselves. outside away from electricity, going to sleep when the sun goes down... waking up with the rest of gods creatures. instead weve isolated and ostrisized ourselves from all that is NATURAL. forgetting that we ourselves ARE NATURAL. we are not made of plastic and wires. but for some reason we THINK that its ok to behave and live our lives like we are. its completely bogus thinking. just look at the state of western civilization. we embrace our technological breakthroughs, we live eat breathe everything that is industry. we glorify it and mock anyone who dares to question it. because its 'PROGRESS'.

but progress comes with a heavy price. LITERALLY. obesity is an epidemic. cancer(dirty word dirty word cover ears i cant hear youuuu!!!) YES CANCER!! diabetes, heart disease, not to mention the array of colors in the rainbow that is disorders of the mind. weve made so many breakthroughs that we have broken-through our own mortality.

in short.. its the computer bub.

maybe this is why i feel so detached now. i sit on the computer all day long, everyday. i have no job or car. i also have OCD thinking, and it won't stop. putting those two together can put some wounds on someones mind i guess. i've noticed lately that i feel more "flat" with my emotions, maybe from just thinking too much.

or early signs of psychosis/schizophrenia :lol:

Its not psychosis or schizo...i think its just that your shit stinks. Try and get something positive going in your life and just keep it rolling. I'm failing miserably lately but with each little seemingly insignificant step, i start to feel better.

Psychosis is a symptom of schizophrenia and it's nothing like an LSD trip.. theirs no "groovy moving images" .. its just a crazy perception of things, and it would have developed a WHILE ago

Stickdude...

Do not -

Stare at your face in the mirror.

Watch water running out of the faucet into the sink.

Stare at your hands for any length of time.

Think that you can walk around in the grocery store and things will "look right".

Follow the floaters in your eyes.

Look at a bright blue sky.

These are but a few of the thing you just don't do. If you feel you must be prepared to increase your anxiety. Why it makes it worse doesn't matter. Just realize it does and then move past it.

This is solid advice IMO.

i have found that writing painting reading all take focus away from the dp
they take focus to DO---but hey dont make me paraniod or feel distorted...get a hobby other than the computer and tv BOTH will eventually rot your brain. GOOD LUCK

 

[coco33]

I know how you feel....My eyes annoyed me so much one time that i wanted to poke them out....it feels so weird saying that but its true. The only advice i can offer you is to stay away from the computer when you are feeling like that and get in touch with what is going on around you. Keep busy, get outside in the fresh air and be around people that love you. Dont focus on yourself but on others.

LMAO i used to have that like i would just stare at my face in the mirror and it would form into cartoon lookin characters and it looked distorted. Its wierd

Hey stick

Same thing here too. Sometimes when I do that it starts to look like my face is changing in appearance. Like I start to look like someone else. It is just like an acid trip. I know from experience.

Don't look at your face in the mirror any longer than you have to lol.
