hypnosis

[itzalandevore]

i tend to get a lot of delusions around hypnosis or mind control by spirits. i can get sent into a sort of trance that will follow commands. one time it was god telling me to do random things around town like stealing a hoodie and making a cross out of sticks and hang it behind a fast food place. another time there was a certain book i didnt want to read because it would be too triggering, but my body kept seeking it out. i found it in barnes and noble and couldnt put it down because of the trance even though my head was screaming not to.

I know clear thinking isn't exactly the hallmark of psychosis, but it sometimes helps to use reality checking techniques. What are the odds that an omnipotent being would want you to steal a hoodie? He probably wouldn't care either way. It's infinitely beneath his concern. That sounds a lot easier than it is. In my experience, reality checks grow more effective with practice.
