Hello guys. I've finally returned to the forums (for this post) and I have a simple question with possibly serious consequences... Min seriously contemplating creating a tulpa... First of all, would it be safe for someone my age (15) if so, should I do it, and if so, what oc should I use? Also. I'd like an average time frame for the process.
From what I've read about Tulpa's, It's like a WILLING Participation of a symptom of Schizophrenia. You WILLINGLY CREATE first a sentient voice, shape, image and then an entire being (After rigorous training) that only you can communicate with. All I can think about is getting rid of mine. (Bar one positive being) All I can say is; Be extremely Careful. 1. Do not let the Tulpa have too much free will. 2. Do not give it 'dangerous' aspects of their personality. 3. Be prepared for parents/guardians/peers/Doctors etc thinking you have a disorder like Psychosis or Schizophrenia if they find out. 4. Do not over-train yourself. Give yourself regular breaks. Eat well and maintain a placid mood throughout, otherwise your Tulpa may not come to fruition, or worse, it could have negative traits that border on dangerous. 5. Do not create something you do not want to live with for a majority of your lifetime. A Tulpa is actually easier to CREATE than it is to UNDO. Once the brain is convinced that something is there, you can't just simply 'erase' it. It becomes a part of you. I apologise if this comes across as a lecture. I just don't want you to regret this decision.
As a former Host, or 'Tulpamancer' if you'd prefer, I can tell you it's not only incredibly hard to do, but can be dangerous. Not because of all the horror stories about hostile Tulpa and schizophrenia, but because of the immense stress it puts on your mind. A good thing to keep in mind is that a Tulpa is a part of -you-, and can't exist without you. Therefor, a Tulpa will never try to harm you (or worse), simply because it'd damage themselves. Do be prepared for spending a lot of time on this, with very slow results, and even the end result might not be what you had in mind. My last tip goes out to both you and Sinder, and is effectively the only way to get rid of a Tulpa, practise on focus and ignoring. After you've ignored a Tulpa for long enough, it'll disappear, simple because the brain won't give any more impulses from them and thus 'erase' them from your subconsciousness. This is a long, hard procedure, and will require a lot of effort, but it's very possible. It's even happened by accident to some people I know. If you do wish to go through with it, I wish the two of you the best of luck, and I hope you'll have great times together in your Wonderland or even reality, if you go as far as visual imposition. For any questions, feel free to PM me, I have quite a bit of knowledge about creating, spending time with and eventually removing a Tulpa.
Uuh, Mine are not a 'Tulpa' experiment. It is part of my diagnosed Schizophrenia and quite impossible to get rid of by ignoring.
Ah, I'm very sorry to hear that. I was under the impression you were speaking from experience, as you seem a lot more knowledgeable about this subject than most people.
I have done my research as mentioned in my first post because I was mostly curious about the desires of people that want to experience quite a massive hallucination by creating it themselves. Of course I understood the need for companionship/Fantasy to reality and whatnot, but of course before I knew any of this I was confused as to why anyone would do it.
I'm going to make a tulpa too. Endblock, i invite you to contact me via email: i'm presently researching ways to correctly make a tupla, and have created a good template for mine. If you want, we can support each other? saullaski@derpymail.org And all of you, note my email too, if you wish to join me; i'm less and less present here, but still want to keep contact with y'all.
A year ago I did that for a couple of months. Then it started to creep me out. And then it started to creep me out REALLY BAD. I got spasms, and stuff. Dunno if I actually created something or was just scaring myself. Perhaps both. But it's done now, and I know that I'm never going down that road again. My compassion goes out to you, Sinder. Having creepy crawlies in your head is the scariest thing I can think of. :/
Oh my, I'm glad it's over for you! D: Oh, thank you very much, but as a child I thought my hallucinations were real and so I wasn't really afraid. Sure some things scare me sometimes, but I get a lot of comfort out of it too. The worst thing that could happen is if I disturb myself too much and end up giving myself a fright! Having an overactive imagination is bad, but when you're prone to have auditory and visual hallucinations you need to be careful with the content you take in. Edit: Watching creepypastas really isn't helping me right now. Luckily I'm watching them with someone!
False. It's once they start getting outside of exclusively your head that things get terrifying. In any case, tulpas always struck me as counterproductive, but that's solely my opinion.
Could I ask what you mean by that? You mean when others start to see what you see or just when things/hallucinations actively start to effect things around you?(Like I experience) I'm not quite sure what you mean.
The latter, for the most part. Episodes of involving hallucinations or loss of control over reasonable thought process is what I was referring to specifically.
Ah okay, thank you for clarifying! Sorry I couldn't understand what you meant, I can be a real dummy sometimes~ Usually loss of control/ thought processes is a common side effect in Schizophrenics or people with Psychosis. I mean, I can black out for an hour and my Fiance has told me that I have screamed and lashed violently when restrained and numerous other things that aren't in my usual behavior. It's like I've woken up from a nightmare I don't remember having and having it read to me in every detail. Sorry for the Derail, Oops. :I I still stand by what I said though. This kind of practice could lead to dangerous circumstances. I just want people to be safe and not get themselves into trouble.
I had a bad experience involving someone with a Tulpa. All I'm going to say is try to settle on just having one, if you're going to do it at all. My friend had created one by accident and it was a wonderful companion for him, but then he started creating other tulpas and... well, he doesn't talk to me anymore, but what little I've seen of him since then, he seems so absorbed in the world he lives with his tulpas I'm a bit worried about his sanity.
