... it's almost strange to think, a few faulty connections & suddenly all this information gets processed to mean something completely different to what it should.

I'm glad you posted this. It rings true for me... It's like I get so much information but it's all disorganized when it enters my mind and so I end up making connections every which way and they say that that's a part of how hallucinations and delusions develop or something to that effect I don't quite remember where I read that or when.
I hate using the word hallucinations in reference to myself, ditto with the word delusional... It's like, to me it's all 100% real... The most insight I've achieved is that I recognize that other people don't perceive the same reality that I do. I kind of just leave it at that. Like I get it, not everyone perceives what I do... But, sometimes I think people are rude when they say I'm "delusional", I don't take kindly to that kind of stuff. I mean if I ask for a reality check that's one thing but some people I've known are self righteous jerks that say basically that I'm just crazy and I need to "snap out of it"... Like I haven't already tried that, like I'm not taking my meds exactly as prescribed. People suck. Most of them anyway.
