Shrinks and A Beautiful Mind

[glitchthe3rd]

To be honest it's a best idea to keep quiet about the idea to shrinks and psychiatrists I doubt they'll understand but and only BUT if you feel like telling them and feel like being the guy to tell someone then go for it. Don't expect anything pleasant though lol.

 

This, generally it's not worth bringing up with them, as you're probably seeing them for some underlying problem anyway (in my case I was making servitors because of my autism/loneliness/boredom/whatever). If you do tell them it'll get you some passing interest at best, and it'll land you in an asylum at worst.

So I asked him:

"So I was doing a project on schizophrenia, and heard of people who basically focus on a character they created until they can impose them in real life. Have you heard of something like this?"

 

He said no. I didn't directly mention it to him (and my mom was in the room, she doesn't know either), so it's all good. But I think that if I told anyone that I was creating an imaginary friend based on a pony from a kids show they would go like this.

If your young enough to go into sessions with your parents... (your 14) would you want your parents to know? I'm not certain but I think your therapist can share information from your sessions if your under 18. Having been to several therapists (for a depressive episode, it was several due to leaving college and exceptionally shitty therapists but Ive been seeing a very good one weekly for the past few months) I'd wait till you get to know them and they get to know you. You do not want to spring I HAVE VOICES IN MY HEAD with a therapist who you do not get along with or respect (both ways). So I'd at least wait until after the first session. You also might want to avoid mentioning tupla, because even if they know it it'll probably be due to the Buddhist term not the way were using it here. Casually asking if hes heard of adults with imaginary friends is probably the best way to ask (obviously keeping everything else I've written in mind).

But if you have gone ahead, I like to hear what happened.
