Starting on January first, I am going to attempt to seriously alter my mental state to the point of delusion via various methods in order to see what happens.
My working hypothesis
>if I can subject myself to enough proper stimuli to cause insanity I can make myself insane/give myself some kind of disorder.
Has this been tried before?
>pic unrelated

Unless you have insane (no pun) cognitive fortitude, I'd advise against it; also, a 'twin-self'. Otherwise, the chances of you bouncing back are next to none. Most people's brains aren't capable of handling it. 

It's not worth it to communicate with 'them', anon. They never truly communicate back, they only pop in as stupendous synchronicities, and numeric/symbolic inference. It'll just drive you more insane if you don't have your interpretive mechanism properly tuned and under control.

True I went insane once for about 2 weeks straight, I heard voices constantly and walked around asif living in the truman show. Once I was walking through the park and a guy shouted over to me that i'm not allowed over the hill and have to stay in the park, I said fuck you and went over the hill anyway though. Another time before I stepped out of my house I pointed at the door, and then when I opened the door my neighbour was accross the street pointing at me in the same way (door was shut curtains drawn there was no way he could have seen me pointing, things like this further enhanced my belief I was being watched and the voices were real). It cumulated In me screaming out of my door every morning for about 3 days to wake to the whole street up lol cause I thought the neighbours accross must be the 'watchers' and voices and that was the only way I could get back to them. I genuinely believed I was going to die if I didn't scream and shout out of my door and take my life energy back. I was also physically ill and threw up bile. not nice. Was kinda interesting though in total and like op wants to do I kinda brought it on myself in a way.

Op if you want to go insane I suggest purchasing lots of weed, quit your job and have 0 money, better if you rack up thousands of debt so your very stressed aswell to start with, when you are all set up you have to start really winding up your neighbours, playing a load instrument incessantly is good for this. They will begin to knock on the walls, play knock a door run at your door ect over time (may take week to annoy them to the point they start banging) you have to smoke weed constantly and write down stories about how the banging is ghosts or some shit (personally I did this because I wanted to play guitar more than I wanted them to stop banging, so I made up stories to convince myself it was ghosts and I didn't really have to stop. cont.

This is the initiation and priming stage where you start to let slip of what you believe in, question yourself constantly, question your questions put your mind into overdrive, did a streetlight switch off when you looked at it? Did a car just drive past twice? Why is the bread ok now when it was moldy this morning? The people on the tv said 'stand up' just when I stood up. Strange coincidences and events you no longer pass of as nothing and now add your mental web of events and connections. 

Soon this mental web will be the basis for your every thought and decision. When this web is everything you think about everyday to uncover the 'truth' that's when you are insane. You will get voices talking about what your doing constantly, talk to them and they sometimes speak back or say things like 'omg he's talking to us he can hear us'. Sometimes you will catch them in discussion about other things other than you, and they don't know your listening. I would walk around my house singing songs about them to invoke a reaction lol. 

It's strange how occasionally the voices would 'mess up' and I would hear something I really shouldn't, like if my phone was ringing upstairs they might say 'oh x is calling him and he's not even getting up to answer it' so I would go upstairs and it would be x'. Let me just add here, that throughout the process I never let go of my questioning mind, and would hold on to the 1% of my mind that still asked if the voices were in my head or not, but events like that weakened that part of me and further strengthened my delusion. I think I probably came to within days of never being able to come back, but I may be wrong about that who knows, I pushed it as far as I could, and actually remember a time when my brain actually kinda took over and told me not to follow down that path, or else that would be it for me, I ignored it anyway.

Op you have to be careful though, if you have any weapons around remove them before you start doing this. One night during my insanity I actually walked around my neighbourhood ready to stab somebody, I thought one of these people who were (watching and listening to my thoughts with the help of spiritual mediums) would come out and try to break me (I thought they were really trying to get me to end my own life or die of stress, I guess this is the thing that kept me alive aswell, as I really don't like to be controlled or manipulated in any way, I would not kms just out of spite.). Anyway I have more to say but it's all so convoluted. 

Years have past since this and i'm largely fine now, it took a few weeks for the voices to go away enough I could get my shit together, and I got a job and worked 60-70 hour weeks for a year to get out of debt, i'm happy now my life did a 180 after these events. I wish you luck in your endeavours but do be careful.

Seconding this, I contemplated killing myself to reunite my soul with God. Not out of despair, but love.
