Lol but really, that sounds like it could be an interesting project. If only people would be more straightforward about their experiences, like what Newtus used to do with her videos, we could create a massive awareness. Not just about the symptoms themselves, but of the varying levels of awareness & varying lifestyles of the people who have it.
*shrugs* At least seems like a good idea to me... But most mental illnesses could benefit from something like this.

I used to go around giving talks about my experiences and how I cope. I don't think anybody who wasn't themselves bonkers in the nut could even get close to understanding what hallucinating is like (unless perhaps they'd done a ton of drugs in the past).
Also, EVERY SINGLE TIME somebody would ask me why I didn't "do more" for my health, like I was living a wild and dangerous life if I wasn't on a yoga ashram eating a raw food diet and communing with nature/others/God all the time. It was bizarre.
