Perception worse the more ill I am.

I’ve been in darkness for decades. When I tried to come out of the darkness It doesn’t last as I’m not able to step out for long. 

I appear to be fine and talk but I’m not me. My brain is not my brain.

I see a stimuli on a rare occurrence that reminds me of 23years ago. But it happened once the other day after 23years.

It was me and how I use to see the world.

I want myself back. But I’ve been brainwashed and medicated. 

My brains not me.

I haven’t been my brain for 20+ years.

Perceptions shifting constantly.

Can anyone thoroughly understand this?

  • Hi  

    You describe what to me to be a disassociation from self over a long period.

    Closest I've come to that is in context with trauma.

    I, in context, haven't found it possible to find the "old me".

    Perceptions shifting in terms of understanding what is going on as trying to understand what is real or unreal and how one relates to it?

    I have been able to get closer to being a new me - if that makes sense.

    I drew some insight by considering Allegory of the cave - Wikipedia - a bit of philosophy from Plato.

    Might be worth considering what the allegory means to you perhaps.

    Best Wishes
