hey there Gardamorg, sounds like you are going through a rough phase right now, but it will change.

We all have horrific moments in our lives, in which not only do we blame the world for provoking it, but ourselves as well. Even a young and naive high school student like me believes that their lives are horrible, in fact, you are most emotional in high school.
|
What is horrible to one person may not be to another, it lies within your perception. We have all done regrettable things and it is often times hard to get past them. Can you let it go? Do not pass judgement on yourself, but allow yourself to be human and capable of making mistakes.

And I've tried desperately to convince myself of a false reality, and I have failed. I continuously fail to convince myself of a reality that pleases me, like Norman did.
|
you do not want a false reality, you need to deal with what is real and not run from it. Face it head on, and make the necessary arrangements to help you get through what ever is bothering you.

Is it possible to hypnotize your self in such a way without any outside help? To conceive a world of your liking in your own mind with will alone in the way Norman Bates did?
|
no
Quote:

If people truly frown upon something you've done, than you can't talk to those particular people about it, and you're alone in trying to deal with it, in my case, if I ever could get to a therapist, my parents would have to know what I had done, and I just can't live with it.
|
your therapist does not have to tell your parents, what is going on with you, it can be confidential.Unless of course, you are a danger to yourself or others. Let your parents know that you are going through a rough time and just need someone to talk to.

But the issue in this topic is psycho hypnosis, so Norman Vincent Peale's manipulation of his mind has truly made him happy, but for some people, the only thing that would make them happy is if they were so convinced a crime they committed didn't happen, than they could literally come clean on a lie detector. I want that kind of power over my mind.
|
Absence of a memory does not equivocate to happiness.
Quote:
|
I would take being happy without committing a moral sin over being happy afterward, but I don't have a choice anymore.
|
Well, i do not know what your moral sin is, but i do know what forgiveness is. I question your choice of words here-sin. Is it you or your religion that is passing judgement on you? Your religion would tell you to forgive yourself and not commit whatever immoral act again. Just forgive yourself and understand that you made a mistake. Whatever it was, do not do it again as it seems to be tearing you apart.

Lets forget the religious implications and suggest that she was just mentally ill, if you are familiar with her case, do you believe that the Priests had a negative effect on her mind?

yes
Quote:

You state in this quote that in most cases psychotics are "typically terrified by imagined fears, and unable to control obsessive thought about upsetting experiences", and since Emily truly believed that she was possessed, wouldn't others who believed the same thing worsen her condition?

yes
Gardamorg, i do not know what you have done, but you must come to terms with it before it consumes you. Ask your parents to schedule an appointment for you. Most parents realize that their teenagers do not want to confide in them

You are welcome to private message me if you like, i have 2 teenage sons, and believe me, there is nothing i haven't heard already

take care
