I think I might have some sort of mental illness....I associate animals with everyone...as soon as I see them (people) and they start talking my brain immediatly flashes to the animal I have selected for them...sometimes the image that comes up is gruesome or putrid, and sometimes not. Its not a sexual thing...and I have had it as long as I can remember....sometimes I have to call home and leave school because of how crazy (unstable) my mind will be going... I have only one year of school left...I dont know...my dad says it might be a warped line in my head between reality and fiction...but he doesnt really know...Anyone out there experience the same problem? its like a glitch in my head or something...it affects who I am...People wonder why i am not normal, and why I am so creepy and weird...maybe we could switch minds...everything would be much clearer...my parents admit that I am wired differently...but they never said it was a bad thing...just unique...I dont know...help anyone?

Sounds like some kind of psychosis to me; ideas of reference--seeing things as being related to each other when no one else can understand it, and what might be visual hallucinations.
Please try to go to a psychiatrist or other medical doctor.

Well you must have a lot of stuff more significant than this if you have to leave school? Because this is just an associative thing with your brain. It is a gift really. You know there are some people who hear a sound when they see a certain color or pattern, or who see lights of different colors hanging around people. It isn't even a metaphysical thing, they can map it in the brain. It's just an unusual way your brain is wired. If seeing animal associations with people is the worst it gets, then I would embrace the fact that you have a very unique perceptive gift, and see if you could use it for your benefit. Write about it or draw it out. Keep lists of which people appear as associated with which animal images and you can probably start to put the patterns together.

I think that's really healthy of you to realize this is a problem. When people start to sink deep into their mental illness they blur the line between reality and fiction so much so that they don't know what is real and what is fake, and most won't even realize they have a problem. Why do you think you are picturing animals? Do you read a lot of gory books or watch a lot of horror films. Whatever you think about, watch on tv, listen to, and read will effect you. If you are filling your mind with positive things, than positive things will come out. (Phillipians 4:8) Becareful about what you allow in. I would recommend talking to a counselor. Pray to God and ask Him for help. Do you know Him?

Interesting problem. That is something that I have never heard of. I have been in mental health for many years. You are very unique. It sounds like some kind of mood disorder. Find a good shrink to see. That is the first place to start.
