For me, the biggest opportunity lies in actually understanding what we experience. If we knew the root cause and understood exactly why and how we cycle we could then strive to develop language that accurately reflects the reality we face. For now, I feel like the vocabulary available is symbolic of where we are in terms of understanding. We are still fumbling around in the dark and it makes sense our terms are equally as clumsy. t

I have recently had an episode that occurred alongside a decent level of insight and I found myself saying 'I don't know if this makes sense' and 'this is incredibly difficult to explain' to describe my experiences. It simply feels otherworldly at times and I think if we are going to get this right we need to think bigger than selecting amongst the current terms for a best fit. For example, I had something I could potentially call 'awake sub-conscious mirroring' going on. Essentially, my dream world was overlaid on top of my awake world and my internal thoughts were mirrored the lexicon must be expanded.o me symbolically as I moved through my day. We currently just call that 'psychosis'. We could do better. It almost progressed to the point where my subconscious mind eclipsed my waking world. Trying to convey that to my pdoc and therapist is currently a bit messy.
