I had my first terrifying vision in a few months. I had a vision that my puppy got run over outside of the park he goes for walks in. It seemed so real. It ruined my entire day.

Awh, I'm sorry. Hope you're feeling better soon.

[Don't touch me]

Thanks. I've had much worse, I just hope this isn't a step back into an episode.

[mgran]

So do I. Was there something in particular that worried you around the time of this vision?

[Don't touch me]

No. I was just watching TV and BOOM! I hate this. Now I am severely depressed again. I hope it's not like the last time.

[mgran]

What was on the telly? Might that have triggered something?

[Don't touch me]

Just That 70s Show. I don't know. Didn't seen like much.

[mgran]

That doesn't seem like the most triggering of shows... weird.

How are you today?

[Don't touch me]

I'm okay. Thanks. ^^

Hi DTM: I was wondering why you found the vision depressing, why it ruined your day? Did you believe it would come true? Or was it that the fact of having a vision seems confirm psychosis? Or does the idea of the puppy being hit by a car symbolize something else that's going on in your life, and that something else is what really depressed you? Or some other reason for becoming depressed?

I hope it isn't triggering for me to ask, but it seems like if you could reflect (when you're feeling calm and safe) on why you had such a strong negative emotional reaction, it might help you recover more quickly if it happens again.

No it's okay. I usually think my visions will come true. It fills me with so much fear, but now I'm starting to think that maybe nothing's wrong with me, that I am really psychic. I don't know.
I do know that if anything extremely stressful happened right now, I wouldn't be able to take it.

I used to get slam bam crunch pictures flash through my head of bad things happening, and i also thought I was psychic at the time. Both the hallucinations and the feeling I was psychic were signs of my illness... if you're starting to think you're psychic, you need to see your doctor. I know how hard this is when you think you've got special powers, but please do consider it.

I'm really sorry you're feeling so fragile right now. I've had times like that too, when I think I can't handle one more bad thing without cracking. Just take very good care of yourself until you're stronger.

It seems like it would be easy enough to test the psychic idea. Keep a journal in which you write down the ideas that you believe are psychic revelations. Then track it to see which come true and which don't.

For the ones that come true, ask yourself honestly if it's something you might have known or guessed without using psychic powers.

I don't know much about psychics. If a psychic sees something, does that mean it will happen or that it might happen unless someone intervenes?

Is your puppy okay?

[Don't touch me]

@Costello. Yes he's fine. We haven't taken him out of the yard for awhile though. Maybe I could try that journal thing.
@mgran. Okay. I'll mention it. I've been almost unable to convince myself otherwise lately.
