I return! I've been struggling a lot, but I'm going to be talking to my psychiatrist next week, so yay for that. So sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. I tend to do that sometimes.

From what I understand, it's a clinical term to describe a variety of nonscientific and at times irrational beliefs (getting some of this from google). An example would be me thinking that my ex was controlling my thoughts through my dreams. A belief in the paranormal could be considered 'magical thinking', but they should look at the context. Like...if I'm part of a religion that believes certain things, then those beliefs shouldn't constitute magical thinking unless they were truly bizarre, I think? Sorry if I got any of that wrong.

Yeah its not good. But to people who are not mentally ill they have no idea what it is like. They can not relate to it in anyway , it is only when a person becomes ill that they can see how easy it can happen. Of course many of the people who are not ill are completely ignorant of how madness is perfectly a logical progression if their mind became unstable. So they are completely confident in their sanity , so confident to make the distinction of the sane and the insane and categorising the insane as completely unrelated to them.

Of course if only they knew...but....they would have to be insane to know.

And exhale.......
Thanks for this!

Thanks for the suggestion.

The problem was with the instructions. The instructor put "Assume all angles are under 90°" at the top of the assignment webpage, which was an error.

I took it literally. Grrrr. That was a bad Didgee moment.

I'm in the ICU at the moment and I'm hoping I won't go into a psych ward for my mistake. Hoping for the best for later today and that's all I can do for now. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend

Thanks for the heads up, Willow.

Mixed episodes are brutal. I speak from experience.

Hoping things get better for you, medicalfox.
