‘they didn’t have the concept of mental illness back in the day so that’s why so many people claimed they could talk to god/had life altering visions/believed in witchcraft’ have you considered that maybe the lack of current magic in our world is due to the psychiatric system’s well-meaning inability to differentiate between life-threatening delusions & whimsy/possible spiritual insight

#idk abt this one. i never know if i’m religious or have mild psychosis. i think it’s pretty easy to tell the difference generally cause one #time i thought i was god & had total control over our world and that was a hashtag crazy mental illness moment & i’ve always had vague #feelings that i can control the world via cheat codes like closing doors in certain ways or punching walls but these days i mostly #understand that that is. ocd.#ocd tendencies we shall say actually since i lack a diagnosis or certainty of any kind of except for the knowledge that my brains #silly sometimes.#but also i do like have a genuine spirituality to me sorry that that makes me crazy or whatever & i believe in some god adjacent thing & for #want of a better word sort of in ‘magic’. by a modern sensibility this makes me crazy #but. Like.#anti psychiatry #<- to an extent. i have no proper full formed opinions on the matter & am sure it is very helpful sometimes But.#people are people at the end of the day not diagnostic criteria #and i find it silly when anything predisposes that there is no magic or religion in our world #oliver talks
