I've struggled with borderline personality disorder for years and find that distracting myself or engaging in something I love to do really helps when my emotions get overwhelming. I do a lot of cleaning with the music cranked up if I'm in a bind, and I love to cook so I try challenging myself with hard recipes. Your dad will be okay though, mine had the same surgery and it went smoothly.
My life basically revolves around music, reading/writing, and baseball. Been getting hooked on sudokus lately too--rhey're good stress relievers. Glad to hear your dad is doing well.

it kinda looks like a mask that's rotating but there's something very off about it. it's really unsettling to me tbh. like, the part where you'd put your face if it were a mask disappears all of a sudden and then there's the front of the mask again/

Then it would seem that you're probably not a schizophrenic. Cheers!

That's a relief. We're still not entirely sure about that part of the family history. My mom's birth-mother was a very awful and possibly crazy person. No one's heard or seen from her in over 20 years though so we'll never know what was wrong with her.

What did you see?
Hopefully I don't learn something about myself that I don't want to, but I'll give it a shot:

Spoiler for My answer:
It goes left, right, left. What does that mean to me, Oriphiel?

Spoiler for what its supposed to be:
It's actually a mask with a concave face that looks exactly the same as the face on the outer side that you'd actually see if someone was wearing it. When it turns towards the inward side your mind (is supposed to) pretty much ignore you're looking into a mask and make it look like the face simply turned which is what you saw.

This happens because of the ways our minds process things, and without going too in-depth the reason this is an interesting test for schizophrenia patients is that they often don't see it as the face turning at all and think it looks obviously like a mask because their mind processes things differently.

Spoiler for response:
My brain did process that the inward mask was concave, but my brain also told me that what I was seeing isn't possible in reality; it wouldn't look the same way in real life. I also noticed that she seems to have a bit of a gimp eye. Conclusion: I can tell everyone I'm normal, which makes me both sad and elated at the same time. But at least I don't have schizophrenia, which is a bigger relief.

* Just to clarify, I'm making jokes because I'm bored.

does it make me schizophrenic that i can see that its obviously a mask since i already heard about the illusion of the spinning mask before i ever saw the gif?

Does anyone else see the black box? This is worrying me.
