Bipolar Brain Weirdness \u2013 while watching movies!<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m slightly depressed and psychotic, it\u2019s hard for me to watch movies. Something odd really happens- I have a voice in my head that makes comments such as<\/p>\n
– This is not real, these people are acting
\n– Look at the makeup he\u2019s wearing. I can only see his eyeliner
\n– They are just reading from a script. This is not real
\n– This is no good. This whole thing is fake
\n– That was an odd movement in his face. I call tell he\u2019s not really this character<\/p>\n
Now, it\u2019s normal to think about this stuff in a bad movie, but the whole point of a good movie is to suspend disbelief and when I\u2019m depressed, I can\u2019t get lost in a film like I normally do.<\/p>\n
When I get the commenting voice, it\u2019s different than thinking- \u2018this movie isn\u2019t very good!\u2019 It\u2019s an odd technical thing where my brain breaks down the action on the screen in a way that makes it impossible to get into the movie. There is no flow.<\/p>\n
I try to ignore it! I\u2019m always amazed and what my brain does when I\u2019m depressed. It\u2019s a different brain than a well brain, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n
Does this even make sense!<\/p>\n
