How has wanting to see things that aren't there affect your life and work as a scientist or mathematician?
also how have your mental illnesses affect you?
me personally,
I don't have schizophrenia, but throughout my life I have been growing excessively paranoid and reclusive. The loneliness made me begin reading and thinking. All I would do was read and think. I became psychotic and recently I've had a huge episode of psychosis that has not ended. From it I made the PeePee heta (zero) set and am working on the philosophy attached to it.
