milkweed-but how can this be paranoia? I'm not "scared" about it. I want to participate in the experimentation more actively if anything. I'm taking my meds as prescribed, my swings have settled down<ref: bipolar>. Everything is so.... clear right now. It all fits together so well. When I am hearing things, I can feel the transmitter being adjusted to better attune to different lobes of my brain. You can't just explain that sort of thing away.
I did not use the term paranoia. However, from wiki:
"Other common paranoid delusions include the belief that the person has an imaginary disease or parasitic infection (delusional parasitosis); that the person is on a special quest or has been chosen by God;
that the person has had thoughts inserted or removed from conscious thought; or that the person's actions are being controlled by an external force.
Therefore, in common usage, the term paranoid addresses a range of mental conditions, assumed by the use of the term to be of psychiatric origin, in which the subject is seen to generalise or project fears and anxieties onto the external world, particularly
in the form of organised behaviour focused on them."
I wont address bi-polar conditions, I havent enough experience with it beyond knowing the condition exists in some individuals I have met over the years, but they were casual contacts and not close personal friends.
A person can have multiple conditions that affect an organ. Hearts for example can be affected by both High blood pressure (or low blood pressure) and clogged arteries. Both conditions need treatment to avoid a heart attack (psychotic episode).
You want to be treated for this implant because it removes the condition from being internal, to that external force which is
in control of what is going on in your brain. The delusion of grandure is related to you implying you are one of the 1% of people diagnosed with a mental condition who really suffers from the external force making you that way (which is an even smaller number than one percent when you factor in around 1% of the population has been diagnosed with your condition). See, you know that some people have an internal mental condition, but its not you. Your special. Now your .001% of the population.
I am not trying to attack you with this, just going over the term paranoia and then showing where I have seen examples in your posts. The friend I spoke of earlier wants to know any signs of the medication not working so she can be pro-active.
If your medication is working for the bi-polar aspect of your condition, hey thats great. But there is still this particular aspect (the implants/eyeballs/nasal thing) that is a concern to be aware of. An outsider reading your suggestions would either think your making this up for whatever. Or you have an untreated/unresponsive condition that needs attention also.
