Hello all,
Thank you for your friendly welcome messages. I think this an excellent forum! I love the software used (MyBB) also.
To answer your questions, I am on two psychiatric medications to treat my mental illnesses and I have also been referred by my psychiatrist to a psychologist for cognitive behavioural therapy. This is primarily due to the complex psychology related to the delusional/psychotic aspect of the melancholic depression. I have a tremendous level of self-awareness; when I am feeling psychotic, I am aware of the symptoms involved. Most of my psychotic symptoms are based around synchronicity.
I am a scientific realist, and I am certain that logic — primarily mathematical logic — explains the nature of reality. Padraic, I respectfully disagree with your notion that logic is merely a tool used by human beings; this is obviously arguable, but I disagree nevertheless. You cannot escape logic unless you stop thinking entirely. It seems likely that logic and reason are intrinsic qualities of human subjective consciousness. It appears that the entire workings of the universe, including the origin of the universe, can be explained using mathematics (theoretical physics.) Also, it appears that origin of life (abiogenesis) postulates can be explained using physics, chemistry and biology, which are all ultimately based on mathematics.
Cheers.
