I know health questions aren't aloud on here. But i was just wondering is the sitatution of being chemicaly imbalanced and having a psychic ability a common life path. I have a mild version of autism and this hallucination problem were I here voices if I come off my medicine. Last year I went to a psychic healer who told me I was psychic, and told me the voices I hear in my head are spirits, (when I come off my medicince.) I've been to several other psychics who have told me i'm psychic, but one of them disagreed with the voices being spirits part, but still thought I was psychic.

I don't hear any stories of people who had a chemical imbalance and were psychic as well. I have been told I can heal my chemical imbalance as it is from either a fall I took down the stairs at the age of four, or mercury in the vaccines. They told me I can heal myself using imagery.


I feel like theres no help for some one in my postion sometimes

I have really never heard of any stories of people in my postion

Any one ever heard of one?   and what was the outcome?

The first step is to heal.  Following doctors advice is a good start.  Never go off your meds without some real medical advice.  

When this is possible you can explore other aspects of your being.  After all we are more than our illness and we are more than one aspect of any personality.

Hi--

I really have to agree with Spirit Talk here.  We here can't tell if you're psychic or actually hearing spirits' voices.  Nor are we doctors--whose advice, as Spirit says, should come first.

My initial reaction to your post is that, even if you ARE psychic (and I'm not saying that you are or aren't because, again, I have no way to know), whether or not you're taking your meds shouldn't make any difference if you're actually hearing the voices of spirits--you'd hear them either way.  (I was taking antidepressants when I first starting seeing and talking to spirits; when I went off them it made no difference whatsoever--I still saw the same things, and communicated in the same ways.)

So, regardless of what any "psychics" tell you, I wouldn't look to the voices you hear as signs that you're psychic, and I certainly don't recommend going off of your prescribed meds in order to find out for sure.  I don't think that all doctors necessarily have all the answers as to the "psychic awakening" versus hallucinations thing, either, but your best course of action is still to do what your doctor suggests, and then possibly look for signs OTHER than the voices (synchronicities, precognition, ESP that can be verified, etc.) to determine whether or not you have psychic abilities.

The following is a web-page I found  while back; I've found it very helpful, and it may give you some insight.  Here's the link (I've posted it here several times before, I think!):

imagerynet.com/book/excerpts/visions.vs.hallu.html

In case you don't feel like reading the whole thing (although I suggest you do), this part may be the most informative:

Schizophrenics tend to hear voices much more frequently than they have visions, which are almost never pleasant when they do have them. Their visions are part of a psychotic thought process. They feel controlled by the vision. This may sound odd, but they have a psychotic relationship with their hallucination. Most psychiatrists would say, "A hallucination is psychotic itself," and, of course, I disagree. The "normal" person doesn't have a psychotic reaction to a vision. He may be frightened by a ghost - or even by the sight of the Virgin Mary - but he is not likely to feel as if his mind is being controlled by the vision.

Again, those are just some things to consider for yourself, but please rely on your doctor as your primary source of information (perhaps you can discuss the above with him or her if you have any questions).

Take care,

Doe

Hi Matt,

I notice that you have a current diagnosis of mild autism, there are actually quite a lot of cases of imbalances accompanying pschic abilites some of which have been misdiagnosed as psychological disorder.

while following your doctors advice it is important to explore these abilities for yourself so you can be in a better position to judge in the future. what is key here is how and what the voices are saying. psychic ability or communications are not a physical brain phenomenon, so drugs associated with your disorder should not compromise your ability to communicate.

you may want to undertake a practice of developing these abilities as you go, the benefits are two fold you will be more able to enjoy your special talents and you will be more available to energies that can have a positive impact on your physiology.

good luck
