RELATIONSHIP BASED ANALYSIS
Everybody wants a relationship with,
*Somebody

*a state of mind or self concept.
Some people will want a heteronormal relationship with the opposite sex, to be normalised in family.
Some people choose deviant relationship with same sex or with children or animals.
Some people will want a relationship with things, such as business, technology, cars or mind altering substances.
Some people will want a relationship with a deviant mental illness, as satisfying fulfilling and fully self contained and self controlled, created state of mind.
"The spirit sundered from the world CREATES its own world"
[NIETZSCHE]
Beginning with the last subset of relationship needs, the person who wants a relationship with mental illness, that they are convinced is an exceptionalism from normal mind sets. The Schizoid enjoys their voices and delusions
of grandeur possibly because they find mundane relationships boring, unsatisfying or against their personal choices in life.
The bipolar takes the best of both worlds, schizoid entanglement with the pleasures of the world, that then bumps up dopamine, resulting in neurochemical surfeits that cause the hearing of remote voices, remote sounds and delusions of being a master of reality and overconfident. People are repulsed by the psychotic voices, overindulgence in pleasure and extreme self confidence in the world of the schizoid nature of pleasure seeking. The bi-polar, when confronted with social sanction as abuse or criticism, suddenly develops a misanthropy of hating everybody and from pleasure seeking high, they will suddenly revert to depressive life hate and removal from the world and pleasure. From Dopamine surfeit to serotonin deficiency where they no longer feel empathy for anybody, the result of too little serotonin.
Extreme love of life and people, then sudden extreme hate of life and people. These people will be medication resistant, because they enjoy their flights of pleasure seeking and the balancing depression of life hatred, they actually feel balanced and normal, not cyclically high and low. They have a relationship with their mental illness, as disclosed by their medication non-compliance, rather than enjoy life in smallish highs and lows they choose to live life with extreme highs and lows. They normally have very shallow and resentful relationships with people who do not share their roller coaster preference for life continuum…pushes them further into relationship with mental illness and away from relationships with people.
These relationships with states of mind are also evident in lives of deep faith, where religious psychosis is often present but rarely treated, as Faith has a hold in social script, where religious entrepreneurship is equated with normal folkways but in actual fact a deviant subculture, where they have a relationship with the fixed and inflexible ideas of faith not with reality and negotiation of self concepts and interests with other people of diverse interests in life. A simplification of complex life, that leads to murderous resentment of out-groups to the deviant in-group subculture, creating a haven from secular complexity. Love their own group but hate out-groups, Religious psychosis and deviant sociopathy.
