IJesusChrist, thank you. zezt, what you've written is off-topic. religious flaming is not useful for finding out about meditation to help with psychosis.

really, what does it have to do with what i've written? it's not about religion, it's about a technique that helps learning to control yourself and overcome the psychosis. and i know for sure that it does, unlike visiting the church and waiting for god's will. nothing wrong with that, a choice...

hey guys, a friend of mine became interested in the meditation techniques useful for him. could you give some advice?

IJesusChrist, you know, this stuff about physical changes in the brain have just been observed as the difference between regular condition and schizophrenic. those changes may be a result of the processes in the mind and i suppose that they can be reversed, but we don't know how. the thing about...

interesting post :wink: he definitely doesn't have the illusion of the separation from god. however, i wouldn't say he believes in god in the common meaning of this word. he gained really a lot from what happened to him and he understands why. when it stops, i'll make a post here presenting an...

really, i think you misunderstood me at some point. he does remember things. his memory is not as sharp as usual, but nothing shocking. common state for derealisation. he doesn't really need to live out this anymore. a couple of days have passed and he kinda solved all the disturbing matters...

when you face such things, nothing is wrong with sounding crazy :wink: those weren't antidepressants. some medicine at the beggining that's good for amphetamine-connected problems. later - homeopathic thing, which has an antipsychotic effect. to the best of my knowledge, antidepressants can...

i don't know if anyone is using it like that now, but i read about it. i'll try to find it in english. it's rather not that it is used, but it can be. and it has been in some research

none he used to smoke maryjane, but abandonded it a year ago. he's been doing amphetamine only for 4-5 times in his life. the problem with him is not really the psychosis itself. it's a result of an affective disorder. when he talks to a person that he likes, the pscyhosis either disappears or...

schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like psychosis are very different, although the symptoms could be the same. lsd is even used for finding out whether someone has schizophrenia (endogenous psychosis) or schizophrenia-like psychosis (psychogenic psychosis). if the psychosis becomes worse after...

you're talking about it as though it's some kind of a dissociative disorder personality. he feels that they're both part of him. but his higher emotions and thoughts are blocked due to fears and denial from people. yes, he's a strong tripper. he's come through some really hard times spiritually...

really, i don't know what to think :rolleyes: what he says to me pretty much reminds me the scenario in barbara o'brien - "operators and things". he's feeling that it's almost solved and there's just a tiny bit to overcome. it really is goddamn risky, but i believe that when psyschosis starts...

at some point i've started reading grof's lsd psychotherapy, but haven't finished it, as i've seen no need at that time. i'll tell him to read it. i'm pretty sure that both me and my friend have the understanding of how grand these things are. don't you think that it's natural at some point to...

thanks a lot for the advice! however, swim decided to take a rather low dosage of lsd and that helped him so much! he solved a lot of his internal problems and helped himself to establish a better connection with the outer world. at some stage his experience became moderately unpleasant, but he...

hello swim has never tried lsd (only marijuana, barbiturates and amphetamine) and has had schizophrenia-like psychosis (scizophrenia?) for about four months (some kind of borderline state with pseudo-halucinations, endless unstructured thoughts, noise in the ears, depression, dramatic mood...
