@Former-Member Independently. As I don't want my episodes diseminated I still wanted to attempt to understand them. As far as I can tell madness is an exchange. You swap the alienation of reason for the liberation of desire.
I'm using a program called Orange with an sql database as reference. I input several classifications into the data base not just the experience. As a designer originally I best understand content visually, So I have words repeated often... Separated into a charts in order to see if there was a fixation I had. I have intensity levels listed represented on scatter plots (that was an attempt to try to predict future episodes) so I could better use the time I have wisely. I have classification trees in order to see if there was a commonality that could be sourced to my past. (I don't buy the brain chemistry theory... as in your 40s you can no longer require anti-psychotics. So how would the chemicals fix itself? As I've learnt though being schizophrenic means my past is multiple choice so who knows. There really is no usable content in the database though.
It's pretty light on the data mining as I'm still learning how to do it... I want to get to the level of building something that is self-learning.

Hello @Former-Member, I like Science Fiction - who needs reality ๐ Wish my anxiety drove me to housework! But then I wouldn't want to be unable to not do it either.

@Faith-and-Hope, thanks for the little exchange. I'm too tired to continue typing. Maybe see you later. Feeling very crap for now. Way beyond kicking myself in the butt. Sometimes even the forum fails us, eh?

@Gilgamesh I need to process that. Plus I'm on the wrong device for a qualitative response. But I can understand and empathise with what you are saying. I love the thorough approach you are applying and I totally understand the need for the discrete understanding before the diluted external "suppositions" get thrown in. I've approached my own learning the same way. Beyond fascinating. I have more to ask, but I will fully process what you have said first or it will be too jumbled. Thankyou for your excellent response, very much appreciated.

Hi @Gilgamesh and @Former-Member,
your discussion reminds me of pychologically informed environments (PIE's) and ecological momentary self-assessment (EMA) ๐
