My housemate at uni got psychosis and is now on a ward... Why? Because her philosophy classes considered if we truly have free will... And she just couldn't hack it. [She quit classes and developed psychosis over a couple weeks.]

I thought that only happened in movies... What the fuck? People really are that weak willed...

Wow.

Let me guess, OP: she was a typical young American white woman, with very little depth of thought or inner life? I'll be she loved Harry Potter, Game of Thrones (the TV show, of course), and Doctor Who? I'll bet she got so excited every Autumn when Starbucks brought the Pumpkin Spice Latte back?
>>
>>9263836

I wish I was joking because it's awful to see someone break down like that. But I am serious. I just can't comprehend that simply entertaining an idea like that could shut down one's mind. There must be something else underlying her psychosis. There must be.

Anyway, she is a young British white woman, and she's the type to smoke, listen to Joe Rogan, sleep around a lot, and come across generally quite dense. And she wears that ditzy 'charm' on her sleeve.

>>9263853
there's a genetic component in psychosis, you are born with that min structure. it's not like an anxiety that you can develop and get rid off, if you are schizo you die with it

university stress might have triggered the onset
>>
>>9263872

Yeah, you're probably right... Never knew it was genetic. Learn something new each day.
>>
>>9263853

She had some underlying mental weakness + smoking marihuana

Source: almost the same thing happened to me, only not from a class, but books I was reading etc

This. Genetic predisposition + stress and/or semi-traumatic event.

Do you guys have any sources on this? Sorry to be pedantic. But I could maybe pass them on to her parents or something. It would explain a lot.
>>
>>9263933

Google "marijuana psychosis" you numbskull.

There's a high chance that she has some permanent condition that the marijuana/philosophizing triggered, and will now plague her forever. I.e. bipolar disorder/schizophrenia, the major difference being schizos are insane all the time and bipolar people are insane sometimes with long stretches of lucidity.
>>
>that feel when you will never experience books like she and this guy >>9263918 do
>>
People who really truly realize the problem of free will, to the point of having freaking out about it, tend to be systematic thinkers who put the "pieces" together and understand how it ripples through everything. It undermines the entire possibility of meaning.

People who don't freak out about it tend not to really get it.
>>
She had pre-existing underlying psychosis. Being forced to examine and reevaluate her perception of the world temporarily knocked off whatever coping mechanism that she normally uses to handle stress and that is what affected her cognition.

It isn't that uncommon to have a repressed issue, but it is uncommon for someone to be repressing a psychosis with such basic tactics that an introduction to something like the free will question would knock them askew.

Now I'm very curious to know more about this person. Could it have been something else?

>>9263853

She probably was predisposed to schizophrenia, and smoking weed routinely didn't help. The final breaking point likely came when she considered her last philosophy lecture during an intense marijuana sesh.
>>
>>9263853
Someone people aren't used to live in perma existensial crisis mode like some of us... I mean, I can only speak for myself, but it seems like a lot of people here know "that feel"
That + some fucked up genetics could trigger something like that, I guess
I took 1 bad acid trip and a year plus of depression to give me a "breakdown", I turned out I'm bipolar
It seems like a I can handle it, but after feeling some of the worse stuff mental illness has to offer, I really can't judge anyone who commits suicide

OP here.

I told her she could have a genetic predisposition and that weed could've triggered it with stress. She said--

'Yeh that's what they told me. It was the sudden stopping of smoking that pushed me into psychosis, but there were lots of symptoms before that anyway. Mental health is fascinating, don't you think? Could you send me the link where you read this - assuming it was on the Internet that is! It's a damn shame because before the trauma I found weed pretty helpful. Sparked my creative side especially with philosophy and debates. Not anymore haha. Can't have it again now!'

She sucked my penis a handful of times. The most memorable time was one when I'd ran a handful of miles, and then when I returned I collapsed on my bed and she sucked my cock. I was sweaty as fuck and she licked my balls, so she clearly has a nasty streak. Okay.

Nah everything I said is true. Marijuana use is associated with psychosis, though the causality is far from clear the evidence now available would seem to suggest that in susceptible individuals marijuana smoking can trigger an underlying psychotic condition.

The reason I said "likely permanent" is that nearly nobody I've known to have some sort of psychotic break in early adulthood has not had another one later in life - personal experience, anecdote, but hardly a falsehood. My aunt had a psychotic break at 21 and never had another but that's the only exception I know.

As for schizo/bipolar, that shit is simply true. There's "I'm bipolar I spread my legs for everyone and go on super crazy drinking benders!!" bipolar, and then there's "I'm bipolar I stay up for days on end and think the Russians are transmitting thoughts into my brain". Of course there are other psychotic diagnoses but the basic reality of mental health services is: crazy all the time and not demented = schizo, crazy sometimes with periods of normalcy = bipolar I with psychotic features
>>
>>9264194
Bipolar is characterised by alternating periods of mania and depression, not psychosis and lucidity. Stop talking with authority on things you don't understand.

Makes sense. Because he said nothing wrong.
>>
You know, when I was in the psychiatric hospital that one year there was this guy that came in twice. He stayed for about two weeks each time. The same thing basically happened to him, and he became manic and had to be admitted and medicated until he chilled the fuck out. Like, a thought would just make him spiral. It was weird.

We had a few people come in because they were manic and had to come down, and then they left after a week or so and went back to life. Just stayed while they were manic.

First, I'm not Jewish so fuck off.

Second, the bipolar people with severe depression stayed for months and there wasn't a high turnover of them. And the mania looked like it sucked balls. These people basically weren't even coherent and we (the other patients, the anxious trainwrecks, the addicts, the kids with eating disorders, the suicidal depressives) were basically advised to try not to get involved in conversation with them if we could at all avoid it. Because it was awkward for everyone.

Nigger I understand more than you'll ever know. Google "manic psychosis". Mania starts with "hurr I feel great I feel reborn lots of energy" and then becomes a psychotic state as you go without sleep. A psychotic manic person is pretty much incoherent. That's bipolar disorder classically understood.

There's a pleb version called "type II" invented in the 80s for people with impulse control problems. Real manic depression has been recognized since antiquity.

It doesn't always end up in psychotic state
In my experience, the worst are the mixed episodes, those feel psychotic for sure

I can go on days without sleeping and not go ""psychotic"" (since I started taking pills)

May I ask how do you normals feel about bipolar people? are we hated? should I keep my condition as a secret?

That's normal. I had nightmares when I started to consider where free will could possibly come from when I was 17. I tried to cling on to quantum indeterminacy before I realized that having a bunch of dice shuffle around in my brain doesn't equal free will at all. Ironically I feel much more interested in living life and knowing people after realizing just how limited my reason was.

Actually, it turned out I wasn't mad at all. I was in the hospital on a misdiagnosis and it turned out I was having a specific type of epileptic seizure.

No problem for me, I have genuine respect for people who manage to stay alive and function even though they are mentally ill, because the magic isn't all in the pills, a lot of it is also up to the individual.

A girl friend I have once texted me detached and vague messages and then disappeared for nearly a month, and when she finally contacted me I found out that she was hospitalized because she had some sort of a "solipsist mental breakdown". She was in a ward in the past, after she attempted to hang herself because of some shit her abusive ex boyfriend had done to her. I drew pic related for her but we have yet met ever since so I didn't give it to the hysterical vagina.

That is true, in theory. Though the lamictal made me sick as a dog and I had to stop taking it. Apparently tegretol and topiramate are also used as mood stabilisers, though.

Aye, we can be friends. I suppose I was rude, wasn't I? But I was just saying the truth -- the manic patients were dreadful for the rest of the ward. Although the one paranoid schizophrenic was worse, and I somehow ended up being her only friend. She knitted me a hat. I still have it. The premature dementia patient was also a little iffy on the rest of us because she kept peeing everywhere and running away to lie on the side of the road. And the one woman who was convinced she couldn't walk and just stood in doorways like a roadblock was pretty bad, too. And so were the skeletally thin EDP who looked alien in their thinness, who the other patients were obliged to watch to make sure they didn't go sick up while the nurses took their break. And who were constantly fainting and leaving vomit in unlikely and undesireable places, and who were regularly at risk of suffering sudden and fatal heart attacks because of potassium imbalances. Or that one person who kept trying to commit suicide in awful ways. Or the other patient who DID commit suicide necessitating a group meeting at stupid o'clock at night.

So I guess you guys weren't awful, in the end, when you compare you to the rest of the patients.

>>9264348
during pre teen i had sever hypochondria; i used to read medicine books and think i had it all. terrible, crippling anxiety for a month or so where i could barely eat & became anorexic

been good for years till my early 20s when a dumb fuck friend of mine threatened me badly, started spiraling and became a bit paranoid. as months went by, i started seeing too much into things and developing some patterns around what could incidentally happen in my life at the time. i had obsessional images where i was teared down by hysterical women, like in a trial. due to my anxiety i started reading extensively about psychoanalysis and i deliriously though i had it all.

so my preteen hypochondria morphed in a mostly psyschological one; also most of the themes of obsession, aside health, were about being morally frail. these were coincidental with the rose of political correctness thru the internet, when everything became a political statement, when we started being flooded with screenshots and so on; i used to see people get dragged and started ruminating on how those accuses could be applicable on myself too; i was always able to find something in my mind who was a right target for anything was on the sjw battle ground at any given time. in every argument, i thought i was easily evil from the perspective of both sides of every argument. the anxiety was really bad and sometimes i wasn't able to sleep, to the point of hallucinating and i've had convulsions in some occasions.

my moms friend works in a psych ward and she always tells about the chronic cases stay there for years, and they're mostly schizofrenic or in the psychosis spectrum; sometimes also people with severe depression are admitted but stay for a while, also manic episodes or psychotic episodes due to drugs for example; but desu most of the lost causes are the ones who are both mentally sick and severely retarded, because they're not aware of their condition whilst intelligent folks are really ashamed of being there

Now, my ward was interesting. We, for the most part, did not get the retards. They went down the hill to a more secure unit. I mean, while I was there, there were 5 medical doctors in for treatment (addiction, depression, anxiety.) There were also a couple of nurses.

One of the depression cases was this raging vegetarian feminist and I was genuinely terrified of her because she was built like a brick shithouse, a very loud voice, and a willingness to make threats that people were certain she would follow up on. I went in neutral about feminism, came out anti-feminist.

funny, i instead had a good time doing acid after being off any illegal drugs for 2/3 years (i was not doing anything bc of the hypochondria thing). i was doing a bit better and i said let's try. really groundbreaking experience, i had done acid as a teen but i guess it were very low dosage. doing the trip helped me a bit with ~sensing~ how my obsessions and especially compulsions were transient states that had gone chronic because i couldn't "get out of that particular room"

For a while now ive lived in existential dread about modernity, and it's taken a while to get used to it (took about a year). Most people just dont think about these questions in their daily lives and most people shouldn't. But once you've stared into the abyss, you cannot unsee it.

the ego death was terrifying for me, but only for like 30 minutes then everything flowed in its place; i'm not saying it cured me, but i had such a colorful, emotional, varied experience that i started looking for those things more in my life, which translated in quittin benzos. xanax was slowly absorbing my will power off me, leaving only the rot behind. but of course when i did the trip i was doing a bit better from my anxiety front, i hadn't had any peak crisis for months and was willing to try it. when at my worst i could not even drink a sip of beer because how afraid i was about it triggering some new obsession.

The gamut of all experience is filtered through the mind. When the mind itself is compromised, that doesn't bode well at all for the person in question.

>You control your mind
stab yourself in the gut and control your mind into not feeling the pain

>>9264851
cut off most human interactions
have a disfunctional family
smoke TONS of weed and do other drugs too
maybe hit your head against the wall from time to time
see fucked up shit in real life (go where the poor people live in your city) hopefully under the influence of drugs
I dont know, just mess around a lot, but if you are not prone to it because your brain just happens to be so good quality, non of this will work

Again, stop being a dumb fuck. It doesn't matter how things are arranged.

This can be done with practice. I take ice cold showers everyday and it is normal for me. The pain is in the mind. picrelated.

Fool. they only haunt you because you allow it, because you get a sort of sick pleasure from the rollercoaster ride of emotions. Cultivate your willpower and recognize that these things only haunt you because you allow it and you will be able to begin your fight.

not really a normie, sort of borderline, but personally i'd have no problem if you told me. Probably because i've experienced mental illness in the past and have family and friends who have suffered as well, so i can understand it alright.

With full normies though it'd probably be hard for them to completely understand if they haven't been around it themselves; you'll probably be treated differently which is a good/bad thing. I think there's still a bit of a general stigma surrounding mental health despite efforts to the contrary.

I'd probably only tell close people and try and explain it properly to them so they have no misconceptions or fears or anything.

i was resilient and assertive before, my anxiety made me fragile. i know there's a component of pleasure in everything we do, but that shame is an emotion i never enjoy feeling. i can understand it as in addiction to blues, tho.

>Feminism itself isn't a relevant object here. It's just a placeholder for her behavior and anything could fill that spot.

This is true, however, feminism does tend to concentrate itself as an ideology in extremely lesbianic, fat, and sometimes mentally deranged women who live alone with 30 cats.

After reading this thread I'm pretty sure I'm bipolar.
Wat do?

>>9265077
but again it's not a problem with feminism as much as it is the problem of extremely lesbianic, fat, and sometimes mentally deranged women who live alone with 30 cats.

Everything about modernity is quantitative. Anything of quality is leveled down to make it "fair" and "equal". This is essentially a nihilist mentality, and it's the root of modernity.

>le interesting people meme

Nearly all "interesting" people ive met are usually just insufferable pseuds who deep down are entirely conventional.

Actual patricians are much harder to find and detect.

>patrician
See the problem is even if you meet someone genuinely interesting they're not likely to waste time on a generic buzzword spouting edgelord. Maybe look into that.

>Someone people aren't used to live in perma existensial crisis mode like some of us

You might be tooting your own horn a bit premature, turning into a personal strength by assumptions that may well be wrong.
Perhaps you are incapable of experiencing or immersing yourself to the same extent that she is. Perhaps an existential crisis may only have rational impact on some and a far more reaching effect on others who can immerse themselves too much for their own good to such an extent that it takes over their perception of reality and is actually capable of overwhelming them profoundly. You could call such a susceptibility as weak but you'd blind yourself to more interesting possibilities of being that susceptible and capable of such immersion, schizo spectrum patients have the richest imaginations and can truly experience imagined worlds to such an extent that they often prefer their own worlds.

That's fine I'm ok with just being bipolar I can always take acid if I want to go full delusional

Ah but can you imagine the intensity of the experience that would precede such a psychosis? To be so immersed and close to the idea that its implications cause such a tremendous shifting in the thing in itself that it can not flow around the obstruction, unable to reconfigure because for a split moment it imagines so vividly all that it is to be undone, doesn't such intensity seem alluring to someone like you?
