😵‍💫 Skitzocow Stephen William Lafleur / henstepl / Thisismyrofl / Elecbullet - Schizophrenic Arsonist Who Hates Soda

[flight of ideas]

If anybody had the balls to approach me about carbonation grimace and assert it's a delusion, and set themself up for the possibility that it's not, that'd be the only way I'd get a schizophrenia diagnosis. Because to have schizophrenia you need delusions or hallucinations, and I haven't got them.

thank you for your response. another follow-up question, if you will indulge me: what makes you certain of this? for example, if your psychiatrist were to say to you “your belief in carbonation grimace is a somatic delusion” what would be your response? are you willing to explore this possibility or would you immediately dismiss this psychiatrist and his/her perspective? or would you do something else entirely?

I'm sorry, I've already acted like a jackass tonight, and I've taken my Vitamin C and guanfacine. My cognition will be shot, and though I would defend myself to that doctor, I cannot defend my defense here. Good night, I hope to answer you tomorrow.

@henstepl what treatment would you suggest for those suffering Florian Syndrome? Despite the lack of medical background, you seem to understand the workings of your own brain surprisingly well (able to point out your own limitations and stick by them, able to pinpoint what you deem G+/G-/G-- or A/B/Ab/Bb/O in the self, able to accurately describe mood and psychotic feelings, if not perfectly regulate)

What are your thoughts on the phenomenon of an otherwise non-schizophrenic brain experiencing auditory hallucinations when mixing 0 sleep + strong caffeine? If you're unfamiliar, I can absolutely attest to this being a thing. I'm very interested in your thoughts, and whether you see a link to Florian Syndrome.

Do you have any aversion to caffeine (as in, non-carbonated coffee, or pills and supplements) in general, or do you find it useful?

Late addition/edit to the caffeine question: Do you have a lot of sugar (candies, cakes, cookies) in your diet? If not, is this a taste preference, or do you find sugar at all disagreeable? If you have any aversion to caffeine (in coffee, supplements) or sugar (in candies, cookies) I would be curious to hear why, unless it's only a matter of taste (you find coffee too bitter or Little Debbie not to your liking)

Military studies have shown that visual and auditory hallucinations appear quite quickly with sleep deprivation. It's very common.

Get help. You need it, man. This is worrying.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Not gonna lie, kinda feeling bad for the schizo.

I am also kinda annoyed at some of the people inciting this crazie, though I suppose what people say here is irrelevant to his treatment or lack thereof.

Well, this tale's end will probably be something akin to Terry and Train-kun.

Are we witnessing a psychotic episode?

Personally, I don't see the harm in questioning him about Florian Syndrome. The only counter-argument I see as holding any weight at the moment is

thank you for your response. another follow-up question, if you will indulge me: what makes you certain of this? for example, if your psychiatrist were to say to you “your belief in carbonation grimace is a somatic delusion” what would be your response? are you willing to explore this possibility or would you immediately dismiss this psychiatrist and his/her perspective? or would you do something else entirely?

Because even within Soda Stephen's worldview, this is a valid thing to consider. This is something he would need to think about, even if we suppose that there is a 1 in a million chance of his reinventing the wheel and being proven correct. If he finds a doctor willing to listen, this WILL come up.

In the meantime, any argument against Florian Syndrome simply doesn't align with his worldview, and it will inevitably lead to the same outcome as entertaining the idea:

Reject Florian Syndrome = Infodump about Florian Syndrome

Entertain Florian Syndrome = Infodump about Florian Syndrome

You could say that either of these outcomes is a waste of time, or, you could say that the infodump is the entire point of the thread. That's up to what you personally want to milk from this cow... and no matter what you want, the outcome will be the same, so just ride the wave.

The tl;dr treatment, apart from glutamate supplementation which has to be done precisely, is: two days adrenaline/dopamine followed by two days serotonin/choline. I feel that this would have been an agreeable treatment for Terry Davis because with his TempleOS obsession he's got the problem I've got when I can't watch The Office - he and I are both trapped in the self, and can't interface with the world. Adrenaline-dopamine is the trapping of the self, and serotonin-choline agrees to interface with the world.

But that's only the tl;dr. There are further tediums I would hesitate to bother a non-Florian like you with, especially when the word "infodump" is recently thrown around. Namely: sometimes you stop having to choose between adrenaline/choline, and sometimes a little dopamine helps a serotonin-choline day be manageable.

My "Type A" days therefore have two stages - decrease serotonin/choline, then decrease serotonin only. And my "Type B" days have two stages: decrease dopamine/adrenaline, then ride a small dopamine train to get the best results. There are tediums to it, and as a matter of fact Type B can manage without glutamate supplementation, but that's what I do - ELI6 rather than ELI5. I'd have to observe a Florian to spot the signs and match precisely with them.

Hallucination is precisely what I do not experience, and I can't tell you a whole lot about it. Except: there's probably a number of schizophrenics who can just "ignore" their hallucinations like John Nash did, and then they'd probably better agree to a Type A/Type B cycle to deal with the other difficulties they've got.

Coffee adversely impacts Type B, but Type A enjoys it. My sugar intake isn't too diabetic, but vitamin C is something else - I sometimes feel there's an innate urge to consume fruits and juices when the body detects too much dopamine. Vitamin C reduces dopamine.

@henstepl I find your writing and your theories fascinating, even if nonsensical. I encourage you to find some happy medium that allows you to pursue a career in these fields because the passion and true desire to help others is present within you. However, you will have to cease treating yourself as an pharmacological experiment and find a way back to school, towards a level of mental stability. While I agree the psycho-pharmacological system needs a lot of work to help others, there are many fantastic CBT therapists that would be more than willing to help you achieve some kind of self-regulation. Tele-health offers a wide range of professionals to anyone seeking therapy.

furthermore, I think you would find the emerging fields of neurofeedback interesting and I’m curious to see how you interpret brain wave states to hormone function. Of course, I recommend you research these topics with more depth than a wiki search, and begin on the path to recovery beforehand as well.

best of luck, space cowboy.

I'm sorry if the term infodump offended you, that wasn't my intention. It's a term I would use myself when I felt like giving more information than others thought was necessary (but I would very much feel it was necessary)

Hearing your treatment outline is interesting, thank you very much for answering. If you would like to elaborate further, I would be willing to listen.

Given your sleep-wake cycle, I'm pleasantly surprised that (if I'm reading this correctly) you largely abstain from caffeine and artificial sugars, it's definitely for the best to choose natural sugars/fruits. Giving up caffeine due to negative effects is something even many neurotypical people can't do.

Actually, what would you call a neurotypical (lacking autism/mental illness) person, in your own words? Do you find the term useful, or would you propose a different one? Which personality type would you say is most accurate for a "normal" brain (A/B/O and G+/-)

I hate you people and I would hurt severely any one of you trash that came near me.

I suggest you move on before someone seriously gets hurt.

G+ is certainly what's most normal. G- makes the implicit rules explicit, and then you have to know them to function.

If I'm interpreting my de-autisticizations correctly, there would be a spectrum from "autistic" (lacking choline and lacking adrenaline) to "not autistic", where the Asperger syndromes are not (wholly) autistic. Then, among the non-autistics, there would be a spectrum from A to B, with extremes on either end resembling two very different forms of Asperger syndrome. I suppose the autistics are not neurotypical, but many people with either extreme of Asperger syndrome will still have many social cues they'll pick up on.

Furthermore, stereotypes of women are not unsuited for Type B, and stereotypes of men for Type A. This would lead to the oft-noticed bias of "women being underdiagnosed autistic", though it's a little more nuanced than that.

I describe psychopathy (adrenaline/serotonin) with more certainty than I describe the other aberrant state (dopamine/choline), though I've summarily used the word "manic". There's a couple of "too-much" disorders like anxiety, OCD, bipolar mania and ADHD, and I can't definitively map to one of them. ADHD would be particularly interesting to describe.

I've taken to describing four quadrants, especially when I'm in choline mode. Serotonin alone/serotonin-dopamine/dopamine-serotonin... finally there should be a dopamine alone. I'm going to experiment with that tonight, to see what happens.

Was this the "sweet Georgia peach" somebody mentioned? Maybe I should look the other way.

@henstepl im a bit confused as to how you came to identify glutamate hypofunction as the cause. Its an amino acid and is more of a building block than a factor in any biochemical reaction chain. is it a key part of some unique electron carrier or something? Howd you come to the conclusion that its glutamate
