Your psychology seems normal to me. You are You and you can not be someone else. You did not go into full blown schzophrenia.

Thunder Bow, thank you for your response. Your advice echoes steps I've already been taking in day to day life. I spend time alone outdoors, or with my dog. I have been trying to think less and feel more.
I note that you are a 'Navajo Shaman'. Beautiful. I have been walking down the trail of the modern shaman for a while now, probably longer than I even realize. My views are based on those exhibited by the most ancient (and surviving) tribal societies, commingled with my research into quantum physics. Thus far, I am only a shaman to myself and to the Mother however, because I feel strongly that before I can strive to heal or help others, I must first heal and help myself.
Assuming everything goes basically to plan, in the Fall I will begin my college education. I intend to major in Social Psychology and minor in Cognitive Sciences. My goal is to conduct research into applying techniques of ancient tribal small-scale social harmony to the larger scale mass/global internet-infused civilization, to raise eco-socio-consciousness and contribute to the ultimate prevention of things like war and starvation, through social harmony.
This career choice ties into my spiritual journey. For now, I'm working on it. I just need an outlet, I think. To talk, and assure myself that I'm not completely unglued here. As I've stated, I can't afford therapy, so here I am.
Fortuitous that the first and currently the only member of these forums to deign to respond to me is a shaman. Pure Jungian synchronicity.
