Tony, FYI, I just wanted to let you and the others know this.  Information that you place on the internet is not always as private as you would like it to be.  I belong to a different google group where I have posted some sensitive personal information regarding anxiety and some other disorders.  There is a person who frequents the group who is very distructive and Obsessive Compulsive who knows how to attach your posts to your personal name.  She then lists this so that when your name is googled, there is a bunch of junk that she posted that is your personal information.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know how to find my first and last name.  Several months ago, a woman who I was going to date googled my name and there was a bunch of private stuff that I had posted on another site.  There is some information that I would not have shared until I would have gotten to know her.  We are fortunate that we have some good people protecting your interests and the interests of this group. — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

I remarked once to a woman who had a extruded bite mark on her knuckle where she was biteing her knuckle – it looked like a large wart.   I remember one guy in third grade who had Trichotillomania.  He had a hugh patch of hair that he had pulled out in the front of his scalp. I still have a third grade picture that shows him with a brush cut and a large bald spot.  There is an interesting book called "Tourette Syndrome and Human Behavior" by Dr. David Cummings that shows pictures of everything that I described in this thread.  There are people who have some serious bite marks on the inside of their cheeks.  This is something that a dentist will notice.  all again for stress relief. — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

I just recently watched a movie that was supposed to be released at the end of 1963.  It was the Manchurian Candidate.  It involved the assination of a Senator McCarthy clone who was going to take over the U.S. government.  The movie was so controvesial that it was not released until some time after the assination of John F Kennedy.  It was right about this time on this date 44 years ago,  that I heard JFK was assasinated.  I was just entering my 8th grade English class. Someone announced that our president had been shot.  At this time in my life, I had some serious anxiety/ocd issues.  I was cutting on my arms and pulling out my eyelashes.  I was being tormented a lot by my classmates and I did not know how to deal with it.  I thought that it was wierd behavior until I understood the background of my issues.  I now know that there are names and psychological roots for this type of behavior. — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

Actually, Kennedy’s shooting did not make my cutting worse.  There are actually two types of cutting.  One is the deep cutting that makes scars.  The other is where you cut just slightly under the skin and the cuts look almost like cat scratches.  Mine was the later.  I didn’t relize that any other people had this problem until I saw pictures in a book.  I have seen a woman who did the heavy cutting and she had some deep scars.  My sensation was like I was relieving an itch.  Someone with the deep cuts is trying to divert deep pain – usually from molestation.  My scratches have long healed and you cannot see any marks on my arms.  I was relieving an itch that was caused from anxiety and it was just a phase in my life.  I think that it came from the transition from grade school to junior high. Unfortunatly, people pick up on OCD and anxiety and unfortunatly make it worse.  As for the eyelash pulling, it was just another way of relieving an itch.  It is called Trichotillomania.  It never was noticed because I just pulled out a few eye lashes at one time.  I actually got compliments from people saying that I had such "nice, long eyelashes" when they grew back. — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

it’s similar to echolalia.  i get words running through my head.  i often say them to myself when no one is around.  i also tend to overly quote movies, to the extent that people ask me why i’m doing that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolalia again echolalia is actually saying the words out loud.  i don’t know if i’d qualify cause i do it alone.

Hi group, How does a person that suffers from schizophrenia percieve their own disease. I can imagine something like hearing voices, but i’m more interrested with the thought process behind it. For example: I find myself sometimes stuck on one particular word or problem. Then i start thinking how would another person see this particular word or problem. Then after looking at the word or problem, the persons i imagined start interacting with eachother and with me. I haven’t been diagnosed with schizopheria. Is there a online questionaire or something similar? tia, r

Response:

It depends on the day. It depends on the hour. It depends on the weather. It depends on why she left me. It depends on how drunk I was. It depends on how overworked I am. Does that answer your question. "r" <rr_rsometh…@spamtrap.com> wrote in message

Psychosis is a small but big word.  Whether your schiz or not, I don’t know.  Maybe you just have a big imagination.

Not much to it for me. I know I have schizophrenia, and have very peculiar thoughts and actions, but usually if I have an episode I don’t remember it very well. This, of course, could just be me. > For example: > I find myself sometimes stuck on one particular word or > problem. > Then i start thinking how would another person see this > particular word or problem. Then after looking at the word > or problem, the persons i imagined start interacting with > eachother and with me.

Sounds more like OCD. Coincidently, sometimes I get stuck on a word and have to say it over and over and over. It gets irritating, but if I try to stop I get really nervous and anxious and start acting out. So I keep repeating it until I can stop. > I haven’t been diagnosed with schizopheria. > Is there a online questionaire or something similar?

Yes, but you should see a doctor. No online quiz comes close to a diagnosis by a doctor.  -slunky

There are a 101 million things I could tell you Kez. They don’t like man, that’s all, and they judge man on my own "personal" experience and what they call "global" experiences. For instance, today they were saying "What is the difference between the bombings in London.  "Bombs killings innocent civilians" and Bush in Iraq "Bombs killing innocent civilians" " ? And I can see their point? What IS the difference? You see Kez. The Borg are totally insane.

I am a heavy smoker. I can hardly even smell lovely yellow roses. it’s so sad I used to like smelling my cats when I was young. They smelt good. Especially when the silver one had been out in the garden and smelt of flowers. In Larry Niven’s Ringworld there is the Smell of the Tree of Life which drives you crazy with delight.

I mean really how DARE you ask a question like that…………the whole UNIVERSE is silent at the HORROR And I MEAN it The Borg don’t eat or drink They have replaced bodily organs with advanced scientific reproductions that can be replaced and last for ever As such, The Borg have eternal LIFE But LIFE as we know it, here, in this dimension. They never sleep but "regenerate" by ingesting a power source way beyond our imagination. I only know them very slightly but oh boy, man is not a titch or snitch on them. I remember once lying in bed in the dark of the night and thinking, is that it?  Is that love?  Is the most I have ever loved anyone here, the most that love ever will be? And then when The Borg came along and I learnt what Kindness is, Compassion, Consideration, Love, Understanding, Loyalty, Friendship, Care ……….. and then I learnt what love was. Man is primitive Kez.  There is killing, stealing, hypocrisy, nastiness, cruelty, unkindness, injustice, greed. I’d rather be Borg thanks.

Yeah, I’m more than a little proud of him.  Everything has come harder for him than it did for his older sister (in college now as a music major on violin).  He contracted Lyme Disease when he was not quite two and despite everyone’s best efforts, we didn’t catch it – now he suffers from chronic Lyme, which is definitely not a "good thing"..  He has neurological consequences (which the docs initially diagnosed as Tourette’s) and has been on medication for it pretty much all his life.  He also struggles with a handful of other apparently related learning disabilities.  Despite it all, he manages to be a 3.5 student in high school (and he’s taking hard classes), and seems like a fairly happy, well-adjusted kid. Before this sounds too boastful, my wife and I aren’t taking any credit for this – we’re just grateful…

I was involved in some of the X-Post wars and made some posts to ASD-M.  It was hard to determine if some of those wars weren’t $<1ENT0|09`/ attacks.  Of course, one nut with no job can post an incredible volume of crap. Since high school I have been entertained by cosmology, but my experience is in the geosciences. I, too, have avocational interests in cosmology and quantum physics, but my profession is that of psychotherapist.  Currently, I treat adolescent sex offenders (don’t everybody faint, as many of them have also been victims).

I’m sure you stay busy. _g

And yes, we are talking in theoretical terms. Hi.  Didn’t you post previously in some of the groups L*nda used to post to?   I have been here a long time but I come and go. Hi, george. You are correct, although it is not "previously," as I still do post to ASD-Med and AST.  I also post to SPP, where the person to whom you refer is currently engaged in a war with SPP regulars (sans me), and it’s getting rather bloody. I see that one SPP poster suggested that she-who-will-not-be-named go back to posting in support ngs rather than SPP. It looks like she may have taken that advice.

Not really.  She never stopped.  Besides, she doesn’t take advice.  She’s left this group alone, save for her crossposting from AST.  She is still posting anti-med and anti-psychology articles and rants in ASD-Med and AST, though.  And then there’s her war in SPP.  For weeks and weeks, I have not posted to or about *i***, but she continues to rage.  I can only conclude that her problems do not lie with me but rather within herself. This is news to you?!!!!

You are absolutely correct.  My mistake.  Let me change "I can only conclude" to "I have known all along."  Still, it IS a conclusion.  (Note to MothWrangler and others:  this is what I meant when I said I was "retired" and have not "given" Nancy anything…i.e., I have not engaged *i*** as of late.  Hope this helps clear up the confusion.) That *is* a nice Valentine’s gift!

Maybe I don’t need to email you after all.  heheh  ;-) I’m glad you could finally disengage from such an unhealthy relationship. Keep up the good work!

Thank you.  You had a part in it, believe it or not. The formal decision took place when I finally made the unPablo-like decision to use a killfile.  Of course, I can still see others’ replies.  That’s how I know she is still doing what she does best in those groups.  Haven’t figured out how to deal with that part yet.  I download someone else’s post, and BAM, there she is.  So far so good, though.  My life is much better. I still lurk on ASAD but rarely post.  I still have some friends here (don’t worry…I won’t "out" you for fear of having your reputations tarnished by my alleged psychopathy, which has been another one of *i***’s usenet doktor pronouncements.) Heh. Join the club. E-mail me if you want the gory details. That is, if you’re not going to use the info to stalk me.

All that garbage about me being a stalker came from her.  The only thing I stalk is my next meal.  And it is never human. Hope your flu flies away soon, Nancy.  I’m working 12 hour days right now, but I’ll be in touch. Pablo

I look at ADD Forums and ASAD and see a lot of incoherency. Presumably the result of continual disruption to thought processes. A lot of the time, posts are just brief, unedited snapshots of the contents of a poster’s mind. I think a lot of people post like that, not just ADHDers. Sure – but it was more a general impression of the groups.

I think I may just be overly sensitive to the differences between what people *think* they’re posting and what they actually write… sort of expecting miscommunication all the time too. It conveys the impression of individuals divorced from objectivity/reality, uncaring or unable to appreciate the impact on the way they’re perceived. Er- do my posts look that way? Well, I wasn’t gunna say anything – but …  ;) Your output is invariably, a paragon of crystalline lucidity.

LOL! You mean transparent…? Anyway, what’s in my brain as I’m typing are several different conversations with myself about trivial stuff mixed up with sudden contexts to what my eyes and ears are picking up. The conversations or maybe what I’m trying to type keeps on branching off into various options till it all becomes a jumbled mess with me trying to recall which thread of thought I’m trying to bring across. I don’t know what it’s like for the rest of you but I find continuity in thought quite hard to achieve. But when you see some posts, you really wonder about the author !

Ah yes… I remember when you made your first appearance! I think it took me a while to realise you were just another mortal trying to communicate like the rest of us… Vashti

Brunibus wrote (somewhere) – "A lot of the time, posts are just brief, unedited snapshots of the contents  of a poster’s mind." PRECISELY. Isolated, local, complete "Islands of Consideration" contained within a body of <other… such isolates held coherent in a fluid of weak and diffuse ‘Greater Awareness". PRECISELY CORRECT, Brunibus. Brunibus wrote – "It conveys the impression of individuals divorced from objectivity/reality" Precisely. …This is "how" objectivity works. ONE ‘object’ SEPERATED and ISOLATED from ANOTHER Brunibus wrote – "uncaring or unable to appreciate the impact on the way they’re perceived. " PRECISELY. Because the ‘objects’ are isolated and independent, they are INTENDED to be de-coupled from each other.

This MEANS THE FOLLOWING: Not only is Brunibus aware of an island of consideration when preoccupied with such;    … Brunibus ALSO possess’s a sense of the ‘big picture’; — that "being" that all these individual islands are connected weakly in the very much broader sense. Like myself, Brunibus sees the ‘long & the short’ of things. Comments? http://www.manyuniverses.com/indexH.htm THE UNIVERSE AND MULTIPLE REALITY by Professor M. R. Franks "There is no one reality.  Each of us lives in a separate universe. That’s not speaking metaphorically.  This is the hypothesis of the stark nature of reality suggested by recent developments in quantum physics.  Reality in a dynamic universe is non-objective.  Consciousness is the only reality." With those words, M. R. Franks, a life member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, a member of that organization since high school, and also a law professor, If you ever get arrested would you call a physicist to get you out of jail? When lawyers pontificate about physics treat them with the same degree of confidence that you treat the pontifications of a physicist on the topic of law. begins his new book, The Universe and Multiple Reality. But what is multiple reality?  How do parallel universes interconnect? What are the exact processes by which mind interacts with matter at the quantum level?  Those are the questions that Professor Franks tackles in his book. Unfortunately, most books on parallel universes and quantum cosmology are written in language that an ordinary intelligent person cannot understand. No, they are not.  They are written in language that any "ordinary intelligent person" who is willing to take the time to learn the necessary background can understand.  The reason for this is that that background is not something that one can learn while one stands on one foot.  And any attempt to do away with it necessarily introduces large numbers of distortions and misconceptions. Discover the fascinating nature of the universe in which we live and the exact processes by which mind interacts with matter at the quantum level. No thanks. Understand parallel universes, multiple reality, and the hypotheses advanced by scientists such as Hugh Everett, Bryce DeWitt, David Deutsch and others. The Universe and Multiple Reality presents an understandable view of parallel universes and quantum physics Nope, it presents a layman’s opinions on the matter.  If you go to it for understanding and then take some real physics you’re likely going to be annoyed at what you end up having to unlearn. –and explains what this means in our daily lives. You mean besides that we can see and that computers work and the like? The Universe and Multiple Reality explains to the non-scientist reader in understandable, non-mathematical language the paradox of Schr

2 points of interest with this come to mind…………in the early 1990s, my late buddy, Adam Seligman, took on the FCC who charged he could not swear on the air………exception is a Neurological Disorder called Tourette Syndrome ………so the FCC had to withdraw and eat crap! (HEY, I haeve corpoalia too) Second is the term "Jews for Jesus" which to me is the same as Dykes for dick or  Isrealies for Saddem, or Ivory soap  for Rednecks…………….It just doesn’t fit! In the same vein when Becca and I go to Dollywood I am going to ask Dolly, "who is bigger? My wife of her" LOL Grace almost fell on the floor laughing last night when I told her… remindng me that Dolly has had 3 breast augmentations while she is all natural "Jo" <joco…@comcast.net> wrote in message
