    I worked as a prison guard in a solitary confinement area. The other guards really just stayed in their central area. I would actually get out and go by each cell and talk to everyone for a bit. Let them know what all was happening in the world, what time it was, what was going on in the world, etc.
    I had grown men, literally crying to find out it was raining outside, they literally couldn't remember what raid looked like. It's inhumane.

      Thank you for your kindess and humanity. Just because one may be deemed a monster or animal does not mean you also must become one. Your sympathy was beautiful. Thank you, social work professional.

      thanks for being a good person. it is terribly cruel to do that to anyone. remember these people were born innocent here just like any of us have. they have turned horrible due to the math of whatever trauma they have endured and they are just the product. yes they may have done horrible things and should not be allowed to be around people to possibly harm them. but nobody deserves this kind of torture. it is just brutal torture to the mind and if you were subjected to it i think a lot of you would change your mind. you have to try and remember we're all the same here beneath all the colors and beliefs.. we're all a product of this crazy world and we do the best with the minds that we have, albeit some better than others. But you also haven't lived their life.. walked in their shoes.. been damaged so badly to do whatever damage they did. You're entire world view may very well be an entirely different world to many other people. we need to remember to be more kind to others, because we have no idea what they may be feeling inside. and even the smallest thing that you say to a person that is seeing the world through a difficult lense can have a big impact; positive or negative. I guess I kind of went off into a different tangent, but you get my my point. its really about understanding and compassion for one another. we need to look at the whole picture. not just the end product. people need to judge more based on intent and context than feeling.

      No, they deserve to be locked up. They don't deserve to have to suffer like that, they're still people, capable of feeling remourse, pain, they have friends and families etc. Especially for those that will get out in their lifetime, we need to be able to have them rehabilitated instead of stiring in their crazy.

In the dream, I had some health condition and he either was unaware of that or didn't care and I died from the cold lol. We never had a great relationship irl, but he would never go that far in his cruelty unless it was an accident. Yet, I was still crying and angry at him when I woke up.

    from his ama:
    Q: Hey Michael! In episode 1 of Mind Field there was a scene when you woke up and appeared quite disoriented and confused, so confused that you needed to open the door to the test chamber to confirm your reality. I'm dying to know what were you dreaming about?
    A: Essentially, I had started to lose the ability to differentiate dreams from reality. For some reason, I was in the room in both.
    I dreamt that someone (not anyone I'd ever met, but someone who seemed familiar in the dream) had come into the room and told me I was done. That 72 hours was up. But then I woke up. But I didn't realize that I'd woken up. I saw the door closed and wondered why they'd left and closed the door behind themselves. I figured everyone was just busy or something and that I could come out when I felt like it.
    So I opened the door but it was so dark and nothing was moving. I was really confused and anxious about being confused. Who had been in the room? Why was I alone? I had been so certain that I was finished. That I could come out. But no. I was still alone. Always had been.

      What's funny is I have a job, people to talk to, etc. I still constantly daydream. Maybe in my case the same routine over and over is somehow isolating? I don't get out much, I only go to work and then come home. I really only have games to look forward to and I hardly have time for that even. Even with being able to walk and such, I still suffer the same condition? Boredom is complex.

    At my worst, I pretty much put myself through this, in the sense that I wasn’t allowing myself any communication with others. I trapped myself in my room & I only had myself, alcohol and tv/my phone to entertain me.
    I’d comment on posts on social media, but outside of that, there was no verbal communication.
    When I was inebriated, I’d react/talk to myself about what was happening in the videos/shows I was watching & acting as if I was filming myself and talking to an audience.
    In that state, since I was actively doing it to myself, I didn’t recognize that I wanted communication. I was just scared to communicate because I had shut myself off from other people for so long.
    What Michael said at the end, about experiences, really struck a cord with me because it reminded me of what I’d been missing in those moments.
    I had nobody except myself. And the sad thing is, I did it to myself.
    Glad to be better & I’m glad that I’ve gotten better at communication. I struggle sometimes, but that’s part of the process.
    All in all, I guess losing your mind is important sometimes, right?

  • @strawberrypez2938

    I think the way they should have examined his "after isolation" cognition is to have the computer ready once he walked out. No human interaction yet. Once he did the cognitive test, then people. This would have gathered more accurate data. To be even more accurate (since adrenaline altered the scores for Michael), is to have done the cognition test after the 3 days while he was still in the room....no interaction with others, no stimuli. Just thinking of what could have made it where the results weren't skewed by being released, talking with people, other stimuli, then taking the test. May not be exact in my theories, but....something to think about. Great job Michael ♥

    This reminds me of my visit to the mental hospital. It’s not completely solitary confinement goddamn it was hard. I remembered my third night there I didn’t have a roommate so I was completely alone. I started pacing around, looking for something, anything sharp and talking to myself. I started pulling at the sheets but they were sewn onto the mattress. Tried suffocating myself in the pillow but it was breathable.
    There was a window covering up the actual window and the windows were frosted so I couldn’t see outside at all. I started desperately trying to pry off the window and I went to bed crying because I wanted to go home.
    That was with stumli and other people to talk to. I think I would’ve fully gone mad if I spent those three days in that room. Not to mention, our prison system is just evil for placing people in those.

    This is how I was during COVID isolation. I vividly remember staying in bed, staring at the ceiling, and I couldn't even understand what the teacher was saying in online class. Even though I knew it was morning, my body couldn't tell, because I never opened the blinds, and my room was always dark.
    I have never, ever felt depression like I did then. I became obese, I over-ate because it was the only thing to do, and I got to a point where I felt desperate to get out, do something, be somewhere. The moment schools opened for half-days, I was rushing to be there, every day I could. I just wanted to talk to someone other than my abusive family.
    It was the worst 2 years of my entire life. I don't think I've been the same since then.

Hell, afterwards in late 2021 I went offline and detoxed for a few months, still didn't go out aside for errands and and whatnot, shit was wonderful cause I had no way to interact with the internet, which led to dropping some bad habits I exercised while being online since then, and have been all the better for it.

You may be just fine being alone, but if you get too comfortable you get stuck and it becomes hard or even impossible to recognize that you're even missing something. I've been taking more time lately to do things like check up on family and friends, but I really needed to see this.

      I imagine when he woke up the final time he thought he was still dreaming. He was probably having difficulty discerning reality from his dreams. Since he said all his dreams were about the room. Freaky.

      He answered this on a reddit post a while back. He said that in his dream, the door had been opened or something like that. I can't remember it exactly. Another commenter posted the link somewhere in the comments if you can find it.

    • @saucyboi8721
      @saucyboi8721 5 лет назад +4

      I think he dreamt about never getting out, and that there was no outside. And he probably constantly experienced that he would not know if he was dreaming or not and that's why he opened the door, in my eyes.
