Constructing an alter ego for mental health

anybody else does this? I made this "bad" me in my head. he has very psychopathic thoughts and he always helps me get out of mental slumps. For example I made a habit of letting him take control and slap my face saying how much of a bitch I am when I start getting sad about my ex. I used to spend days in a rut but since then he brings me out of it very quickly and I can go about my day feeling ok. I wanna make another one which is "chad" me and slowly make him take over until I'm gone (the old me)

You're a schizo.
Get meds.

That's an interesting idea. I'm gonna try it OP.
Two questions:
1. Why not transform the bad you into a Chad you that keeps some elements of "badness"?
2. Is there a guarantee not to turn into a schizo once the alter ego fully takes over? It feels like it could go wrong in many many ways

Utter schizo zoomer shit

Soon you’ll be calling it your alt

wow this is probably the most pathetic thing I've ever read on this site

it's so painfully obvious that you're about 12 years old and recently watched Fight Club and now you think you can somehow live in a movie and 'become chad' just like Tyler Durden.

Guess what you micropenis 5'2" squeaky voiced fortnite zoomer faggot bitch? You're going to grow up to be a meek pathetic loser who never does anything of note in his insignificant meaningless life

you're going to look back on this idea when you're about 15 and cringe but that's because your new plan will be something equally dumb like becoming a Navy SEAL

save yourself the trouble and just kill yourself now because at least you'll get a few sentences in the local newspaper. If you wait until you're an adult no one will even find your body until a few weeks later once you've rotted into the carpet

you sad fuck

Yeah you can never go wrong with more neuroticism

1. Yes you can do that. I just find it more helpful to have a "cookie cutter" alter ego. When I'm in a very bad mood/time then I need an extreme force to snap me back to reality. I thought about incorporating more Chad like qualities to the bad me but for now I like him the way he is, like a caged animal you let loose for a bit.
2. That's a good question. I think you have to be already schizophrenic enough to come up with an alter ego, so what's the worse that can happen? At the end of the day if he takes over for real, he can only use the same body my own self used, so he can't be more schizo than me

>when your life is so easy you have to make it artificially difficult so you create some alter ego who beats you because your dad never did

Seething normalfags can't handle an altegg. Get with program you silly normalniggers

Le epic schizo with le epic schizo pic! Stop pretending for the internet faggot you want to be different sooooo bad

Someone watched fight club too many times

>that 15 years old who watched fight club for the first time
also don't fuck with schizo shit like this or you'll suffer the consequences

If it works it works.

Your concept of self is your destiny. Even your 'regular ego' is imaginary and irrational. You base your identity on a few things which you loop through your consciousness, such as your dad beating you while you were a child in total of 5-6 hours, then a break-up text which took you 5 seconds to read. It's all bullshit. It's all masks we wear that we put on spontaneously.

Isn't this literally just the plot of that one Michael Cera movie?

Maybe it's in movies because it's a powerful concept?

I agree, I believe there are 3 layers to human beings, there is the inner core which we call consciousness, it is the observer and we identify it as us, then there are the different personalities/egos with their own motivations and ambitions which take over the "driver seat" so to speak, you let them take over and fight for control depending on your immediate situation and status in life. It all happens seamlessly and since they all use your brain, memories, body to achieve their goals, it seems like it's "you" but in reality you're full of demons vying for control at any given time. All I'm doing is using the same tools given to me in this life and I cultivate a fictional ego so he can take over when needed to help me out, that's all

Who hurt you?

Some breadcrumbs for the interested
This is essentially a tulpa and a related concept is an egregore
Alchemy, both the esoteric sort and more recent Jungian stuff are related
Magic(k) and psychology have a baby now and it looks a lot like parapsychology

Couldn't you as the observer take the wheel?
I'm bipolar and kind of made a concept in my head where I'm on a boat on the big sea of life. The sea and it's hurdles and pleasantries are life and the weather are my feelings. When I'm stable, I can use my sails and steer with minimal effort, when I'm manic the sails make me almost fly but if I don't pay attention it'll rip my boat apart and possibly throw me in a storm. And when I'm depressed the wind is against me so I have to sort of let it pass, pull in my sails and put my back into the oars until it passes.
I guess it is pretty similar to what you're doing but I don't give my states their own identity I just try to acknowledge them and keep things under control. When things are good I use it but when they are bad I do what I can and try to minimize the potential harm they do

KEK who let this nigger read a book or watch a film he thinks hes the main character
you sound like a teenage faggot that is trying to sound smarter than what you are

>wow this is probably the most pathetic thing I've ever read on this site
>it's so painfully obvious that you're about 12 years old and recently watched Fight Club and now you think you can somehow live in a movie and 'become chad' just like Tyler Durden.
I completely agree with this sentence.

Now you sounds like you're some guy emulating a modernized version of Tyler Durden
also nice reddit spacing.

I smoked weed the other night and had a tactile hallucination of an insect crawling under my eyelid and down my throat. Should I be worried?

Mine is called Bobby G and he made a surgeon out of me.
