BarbTherese Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) My son took me to see my psychiatrist this afternoon. I don't have an alter ego nor anything related. She thinks all is flowing from bipolar. Boy! bipolar can really do the unexpected, the weird, even mimic other illnesses. More about Flick later. It's a very long story. B, my psychiatrist, does not want to see me for another month. In her language, that means that she would like to keep tabs on me, but she is not worried nor concerned ......................... at this point anyway. 😀 She did confess that psychiatry does not understand everything about mental illness, nor do they have a name for everything. The cartoon below has a male patient; however, I thought overall that it is a pretty good summary of what a psychiatrist is about.

BarbTherese Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 FLICK The first time I met Flick, he was wearing a jacket very similar to the one below; however, the jacket was a kind of reddish brown. I was cooking in the kitchen, turned around to get something on the other bench and he was standing there: "How the heck did you get in?" was met with no reply. He was tall, around 6'2" or so with brownish black more or less wavy hair past his shoulders. He looked nothing like a guy I had ever known, nor a picture I had ever seen. He was a stranger. It must have been an hallucination, I have since concluded, though he sure looked real, but then how did he get into my kitchen for goodness sake? That all occurred back in 1968, around then. Flick has been with me ever since as a voice in my head, except for one other time. He has always been a consoling presence, yet not a presence for he speaks but I cannot see him. He is not directly from Heaven! I know that! Nor is he from Hell in any way. I am pretty confident about that. I'll write more later. My psychiatrist knows everything I know about Flick. She says that I do not have an alter ego, nor some sort of disassociative Disorder. The once head of The ANZ College of Psychiatrists said: Ï would love to write a paper on you, but all I could write is "I know someone called Barbara".

BarbTherese Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Flick is much too human and male to be directly from Heaven, in that he is no angel for sure. He can talk about and joke about quite sensual matters. I don't think he is from Hell either, because he is a consoling 'presence', a consoling voice encouraging me along my way although in a disagreeing sort of way. But he can respect what is MY way, my chosen way. He has no grasping of private vows, nor why I made them in that he cannot identify with my reasons. He is not religious in any way. As I said, much too humanly non religiously male to be anything but human to me. Perhaps he is merely a figure out of the hallucinations, madness and craziness, of a bipolar sufferer. Perhaps. Problem is, for anyone to state that what I have seen and hear is not real is madness to me, when I experience them as very real. Warning: The whole story of my association with Flick just might get too way out for some, even many, to continue reading. C'est La Vie - and Life, I love You.
