    (Thanks for the clarification! Makes sense. I don’t have any food allergies except seafood possibly? I dunno. I used to like seafood but my stomach hurts after eating them. Maybe that’s just because I’m such a picky eater and it’s the power of suggestion)

    I think both, but it’s hard to say. Which makes no sense because I should know myself, but I don’t??

    Sometimes I’m too shy to talk, and sometimes I just don’t feel like talking to someone or have nothing to talk about.

    Okay! Is it more of a mental exhaustion or does it literally hurt to talk?

    This is so interesting. Thanks for starting this topic. I have watched that aphantasia video and thought it was fascinating. I don’t think I have apahantasia because I can picture things in my mind, but I’m not sure if they are original creations or not. I do have a vivid imagination though, so I kinda have to be able to craft images in my mind to do that? I dunno 

    Luckily I don’t really have any mental disorders, I mean I probably have very mild depression (or just mood swings?) and maybe some sort of disorder that causes me to not want to/not have the capacity to socialize well with others??? Not sure about that one though because some people I can interact with just fine. Maybe I just don’t have anything relatable to talk about since my interests and family life/expectations clash so badly? I dunno if that makes sense

    Sorry for rambling, oof. My question: I have noticed that a lot of people with mental disorders that I know have some sort of food allergy or intolerance. Are those linked in any way or is that totally preposterous?

     

    Nearly everybody has some sort of food allergy/intolerance- I, personally, have none, but I have a lot of M-I/D/Ds. I think it's merely a coincidence :) 

    (Also, is the socialisation more of a 'cannot talk' or a 'it tires me to talk' thing)?

    I've watched that videos several times- along with many others (I did the same sort of 'apple test' on my friends). I'm mainly confused about what it means to see something from your mind's eye. If you don't see blackness, what are you seeing?

    I don't see anything, so I'll just quote Spacecat's answer.. ^^'

    I think my mom has it, too. I know it doesn't make sense, but personally, I see an object like I would see a real object. Stylized, maybe, or simplified. The more complex something is, the shorter I can hold it. It's not exhausting to do when you actually want to imagine something, though. Or if it comes naturally to you. I can see/taste/feel concepts sometimes, which isn't straining, but hard to force yourself into? I don't know. Depression does eat your attention span

    I know this is technically a place to ask about this sort of thing, but I'm really tempted to just talk about it :')

    Feel free! I can add you as a 'mod'/person who answers questions if you want! :) 

    PM me on it! ^^

    I know it isn't technically a M-I/D/D, but do you know anything about aphantasia? I'm clueless, after many long, deep conversations with my friends about what a mind's eye is and how well each as an individual we can visualise things, I'm thoroughly confused.

    It's such an intriguing and difficult subject, as there's no way to truly see from someone else's prospective; as much as you can describe how vivid your mind's eye is, no one can quite imagine what it's like to be you, think like you, exist like you.

    Can people actually, literally visualise things with their eyes closed? I've thought it was normal when someone says 'imagine a sandy beach, with the waves rolling in...' etc, etc, you use your memories to piece together the perfect scenario which only words can describe. I decided to test my friends, by making them shut their eyes and imagine an apple, change the background, change the colour. Then asking, 'can you see it?', to which they all responded with a decisive 'yes'. I've tried to explain to them how I imagined it, and they all informed me that was not how they were seeing it.

    Sorry for rambling, I apologise for any grammar/spelling mistakes. Also- if you don't know what aphantasia is this probably makes absolutely no sense, sorry again. Sorry (again, again) for posting this on a kind of unrelated thread. Are there any easy ways to tell if you have aphantasia? What do you see in your mind's eye? 

    When you have aphantasia, you see nothing , or a very vague image- it's a surprisingly common! 

     

    This is a good video, and explains it in simple terms!

    made a 'gothic' for my city 

    TW: MILD MORBIDITY. ANXIETY INDUCING SENTENCES.

    ----

    There is a road in the woods. The road is red at night and grey at dawn. It isn't there.

    The school has it's gates open again. You wonder why they do not enter. They have learnt better than to step inside.

    The Pit just /exists/. It was not put there. It is not natural. The builders who go there do not leave.

    Did you know there are tankers in the field? The people inside didn't.

    There's a railway under the city. The land above it does not exist. It is a hallucination.

    The military say this city is theirs. The gangs know better- this city owns the military. 

    There is a river. It is full of sap. The tears in it are preserved- so is the blood.

    The people are talking outside. Their music blares through the ground. Don't look.

    You have a knife in your pocket. Everybody does. It is the only thing saving us.

    They set the forest on fire again. You watch. (You aren't the only thing watching).

    You like to stay in the town centre. Don't you know anything?

    There's another one. You smile, and count. 2 for good luck, 3 for a corpse. 

    Unfortunately, there is only one in the school grounds today. You and your friends bet on the sacrifice.

    "I know just the place." He leads you through the allies, to an abandoned apartment. "Here we are, it's safe sturdy, and has a bunch of room. Cats stay away from this area because it's close to Scar's headquarters."

    -choose the apartment as your shelter

    -look for another place

    I nod. "Although closer; nobody would expect a horde to gather close to the target. Thank you, Club."

    "Alright. Sounds like a plan. The name's Club." He tosses you a rusty button,  "You're going to need that to walk in Scar's territory. I'll be here if you ever need me."

    -Ask him to come with you as a group (that means you'll need to provide him food, but you can win fights much easier,and persuade cats easier)

    -tell him to stay here

    -tell him a different order

    "We should find a place with more shelter for now; It shall be easier to persuade others if we have a place for our horde to stay."

    -Tell him a plan

    "We shall gather up the alley cats- make a horde, if you wish to call it that- and train them to fight with each other. Once we know how to help each other through this means, we shall confront Scar." I nod. "If he does not back down, we shall swarm him. Many bodies who can work in unison fighting a single body."

    -Try and convince him again

    "Yes, but think about what counts as 'weak'- is it the cat who starves? The cat who moved a second too late? The cat who ate the wrong thing? Or is it the cat who spends their time lording over the other cats because they don't want to do their own work?" I chuckle. "And what counts as 'strong', really?"

    -talk more

    "Ah, but wouldn't you like a life without war? Without the struggle for food? Without oppression by those who have the food?" I ask, flicking my tattered ears. "Or do you like to watch those weaker than you starve and shrivel, lowering the diversity?"
