Eldritch Insanity Disorder (EID)
A disorder characterized by a deluison in which one believes that they have, in some way, a personal connection to an eldritch-type deity and said belief causes them severe distress and extremely maladaptive symptoms parallel to Eldritch Insanity.
The diety is not a pre-existing god, but rather something unknown and all seeing.
The holder experiences episodes of psychosis between normal living periods which, in their mind, is caused by the deity connecting with them again.
The episodes always come with:
- Short bursts of intense, indescribable amounts of fear
- Belief that they are being watched by the deity
- Dissociation
- Derealization
- Intense Deja-Vu
- Getting bursts of feelings/visuals as though they have literally lived in/seen the current moment before
- Anxiety
- Paranoia
- Depression
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Fear
- Confusion
- Obsessive thoughts about the deity
- Obsessive questioning of reality
Other symptoms that aren't necessary but may be experienced are:
- Feeling as though they have seen secrets of the universe, and then been forced to forget them
- Belief that the deity is sabotaging them
- Belief that they are a vessel for the diety
- Belief that they are being guided by the deity
- Belief that they must follow the deity
- Belief that nothing matters after seeing what the deity has shown them
- Hallucinations
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Believing they are stuck in a time-loop due to Deja-Vu
- Fatigue
Episodes usually happen slowly until hitting a peak before calming back down into "sanity". The feeling of upset and distress may linger but it's able to be put to the side as the holder continues their life, which afterwards they may feel upset for holding "crazy beliefs" during the episode.
Holders engage in behaviour that seems erratic and irrational during episodes. This includes ranting, talking faster than normal, repetitive behaviours/movements, coming off as cold/numb, breaking off relationships, and becoming extremely pessimistic among other things.
Episodes are commonly triggered by stress in any form, but they also may happen on their own.
Holders of EID may only experience delusions and hallucinations during episodes, but no other times (unless they also suffer from comorbid disorders).
If someone you know suffers from EID, trying to keep them grounded in reality without reality checking is the best course of action until their episode declines. Not taking anything they say and or do personally is also important, as they may behave entirely different once the episode is over.

- (This is a Falskunghaft disorder for disneys Twisted Wonderland)
- A rare type of blot disease that affects roughly 0.67% of the population.
- HBA is categorized by ones body cannot naturally dispose or breakdown blot. The excess blot will begin to attack healthy blood cells and eventually vital organs such as the lungs, stomach, heart, liver, etc.
- HBA is also categorized by the hyper formation of blot, meaning that someone produces at least twice the amount of blot as a normal person would, if not more.
- There is no cure for HBA, and is classified as a terminal illness.
- About 50% of the people that suffer from HBA cannot even reduce their blot by over blotting and expelling it that way. The other 50% cannot overblot at all
- The only "treatment" for HBA is to avoid using magic to hopefully slow down the blot build up and post-pone the inevitable organ failure that will lead to death.
- HBA is not a genetic disease, no cause for it has been identified.
- HBA can often cause an interruption with one's heat regulation as well, making them more sensitive to the heat
- HBA can sometimes be detected from blood work, but not always.

Solipsism Disorder(SoD)
(solipsism is the belief that only your consciousness is sure to exist and that there is no way to prove that others are real)
Solipsism disorder can only be diagnosed if the person is experiencing distress from their belief. if the belief of solipsism is not distressing and does not create any impairment then a diagnosis should not be assigned.
This can be caused by delusions, psychosis, derealization/dissociation, or other neurodivergence, or it can have no cause at all!
The person does not have to hold this belief fully(meaning it can just be a doubt or partial belief) or it can fluctuate/they can only believe it at certain times.
Symptoms of solipsism disorder
- the person does not believe that others are real, and thinks their conscious self is the only one that truly exists
- the person feels deeply and profoundly lonely because of this belief and often 'wishes it wasn't true'
- the person exhibits selfish behavior due to the belief, often similar to the behavior of those with npd, but without a related aggrandizement of self
- the person has trouble believing others have deep and rich lives like they do, and think that perhaps others do not feel as deeply as them
There are subtypes for this disorder!
- isolating solipsism disorder(I-SoD) in which the primary or only symptom is feeling lonely and alienated due to the belief that they are the only one who's 'real'
- self-focused solipsism disorder(SF-SoD) in which the primary or only symptom is exhibiting selfish behavior due to the belief that they are the only 'real' person. this subtype often causes intense distress for the person if they are aware at least partially that their belief is not true.
- generalized solipsism disorder(G-SoD or simply SoD) an umbrella term for solipsism disorders that do not fit either of the above categories

Visionauris
Visionauris is the experience where one hears voices and projects ("sees") a mental image either of a character or figure. This is restricted to their mind and a possible inner process.
It is not exclusively tied to FPD and its symptoms though it originates from it. The two parts of this experience do not need to be distressing to be seen or discussed, as known with any other terms of the PD, but it is very important to that person if experienced. Other similar underlying conditions should not be confused with visionauris even if symptoms match. Always double check with professionals.
List of relation are as follows:
- Vivid fantasies and daydreams
- Auditory hallucinations or vivid mental voices
- Regulation of emotions through media
- Factcharas and/or metatity
- Attachment to media
Distress is oftentimes dependent on the type of media, fantasies and severity of each.
- Example A is having FPD, regulation of emotions through fantasies of an anime, attachment to that anime growing into possible vivid daydreams and/or auditory hallucinations.
- Example B where you have a factchara (factual character for identity as opposed to fictional character for games), needing media to keep that factchara close to you and developing a personal relationship with the media beyond fan status. This relationship is then used to soothe or calm intense fantasies that may or may not be induced by stress, anxiety, depression or other unknown ailments.
