The whole world should know about delirium

If only the fits of agitation were as pleasant as its portrayed in this video. Much worse in real life

I get delirium often when I wake up, I don't know if that's normal for a 20 year old. I have enough mental capability to realize that I am having delirium, but abstract delusions still take over most of my conscious mind. For example you might believe that your blanket is a fur coat and you are lying down somewhere in antarctica. Totally bizarre ideas that make absolute no sense, but during this confused state they seem very real and logical.

yea um as someone in their 20s i never thought when i woke up i was lying somewhere in antarcitca. hope you sought out treatment for whatever this is. keep in mind schizophrenia symptoms often pop up at this time

[@vxbrxnt]

@@XRemARx It's normal. It's how my brain sometimes works during the night.

It's quite clearly understandable when someone stays alone for years, automatically that persons mental status will change. my question is why these brilliant English people why doesn't want to stay with their parents. they will say many excuses, they don't have time to do that. But, they have time to speak about delirium, dementia and so on. In hospitals and care homes, we can see almost all staffs who are treating these elderly people with these conditions are from Africa, India Philipines and from European countries. Speaking is very easy , so very smart people only does that. if they are very worried about their parents or grandparents why they are not letting their kids to become nurses or anyone who can provide care for the elderly.

bro ok I was looking up the vs delirium fnf mod because I was curious about it and found a video about delirium where I realized it was a real thing (like most things in the binding of Isaac actually) and that boss fight makes a lot more sense now, especially with that perception of reality thing. Sorry im not talking about how this disorder makes me feel, I just found that interesting.
