'Were her thoughts really prodromal symptoms, or was it some epiphany in the external world.' by BambiFawn
Illness has a spiritual side to it, but are the voices in schizophrenia and ptsd really from just a chemical imbalance or from hearing in the spiritual realm or a demon speaking to the mind?
Any thoughts on this?

Dear lovely @Faith-and-Hope,
I received a lovely parcel of Elizabeth Arden perfume and expensive creams today in a parcel and card. It really cheered me up. The little cremes are so luxiourious and I have put them all in my bathroom cabinet.
I put some of the perfume on ' the colour red' and it smells beautiful. I'll let my cat smell it haha.
Clarins is my favourite brand of cleanser and face products.
Do you have any favourite perfumes and cremes dear @Faith-and-Hope? Hugs and blessings Bambi Fawn
