Those maladaptive schemas really strike a chord with me - it's probably safe to say I have a number of them. The coping responses, too. Hopefully you're right, and I can work them out over time - I know I've been dealing with them since youth. I wouldn't be surprised if I suffered from some kind of bullying syndrome either...I suppose at this moment, I'm trying to avoid thinking about all of that, so I'll just omit for now. Though this brings up a question I had about something you had said somewhere else - about you thinking I may be neurodivergent. I'm curious about that.
I clicked on your link for coconut oil and one of the top google links (beyondmeds) was for sea salt and against coconut oil, oddly enough. I've never really tried either. It's been about three days now, and I can definitely see a huge change in the inflammation - it's been a long time since I've seen the more "natural" pigment on my chin (of course, it's no longer the same color as the rest of my face - it's darker, like a light african american's skin.) As I recall, they call it something like hyperpigmentation (results from severe scarring)...and I've never really found a cure for that. Maybe if I can keep the outbreaks and inflammation down long enough, it will fade...I guess we'll find out! If it doesn't, I'll give your coconut oil a try.
The movie was definitely bizarre...and differs in some pretty significant ways, apparently. For one, he has consensual sex with two women simultaneously in the movie, while in the book he rapes two ten year old girls...and the final chapter in the book, where he realizes his wrongs and becomes "good" is omitted in the movie. It does have an almost cyberpunk flair to it, with all the wild colored hair and dark atmosphere...but the high technology seems to be lacking.
I tried asking my dream crew to let me get the real message, but nothing yet. I had a super futuristic dream last night (force fields that coverted toxic atmosphere to breathable air!) complete with some kind of revolution. It was a really pretty planet, whatever it was.
