Sorry @PlantKiller1 I have only read all of your posts.
Disordered thoughts are really thoughts that other people have, that we ourselves don't. I think your GP was trying to reassure you, but without having to expend any energy on their own part.
I am not going to say that your not so dear Husband (aka H), has not got any dangerous mental health issues, with his family history he is more likely to have some, both through nature and nurture in his case. But I am not going to attempt to give you a percentage, as there will be too many variables to consider, and that is not something that any of us could undertake on a social media site - even one as good as Mumsnet! But even commonsense should make it obvious that there would be at least a slight increase in the probability of your H having some sort of MH problem.
I am an OAP OP, but I am also quite spiritual. For quite a while I had a particular interest in ancient Egypt, in fact it does still fascinate me, although I no longer read so much about it, but among my hardbacks are The Egyptian Book of the Dead, and books about various of their Deities, pharoes, way of life, etc. When I was in my junior school we were told about the pyramids in Egypt, and how they were built by mainly slave labour. Being books aimed at relatively young children, there were a lot of pictures - some of them depicting quite harsh scenarios really, especially considering they were aimed at chidren between 7 and 9 years old. Anyway, unsurprisingly, nothing was mentioned about alien beings, or spacecrafts, at either my junior or secondary schools.
However, as I got older I kept on thinking about how clever the people of those times were, and although maths was my least favourite subject until I was a lot older (in my 30's), as I struggled to understand it when I was younger, even though my DDad was actually a Mathematician - but not a teacher - I kept on wondering about how and/or where, they could have known enough about maths, and it's applications, to be able to construct the pyramids, to both function as they had intended them to, and to still be standing thousands of years later. It fair boggled my mind! So when I was about 13 years old, I came to the conclusion that the strongest probability was that the people of those times were either taught by aliens from a far more advanced civilisation than ours, or maybe quite as likely - if not more so - that we all, or at least some of us, were actually descended from aliens ourselves.
Do you think that I have a long-term mental illnes myself @PlantKiller1?Maybe, to help you reach a decision on that, I should go on to add that a few years later, I was thinking about the Old Testament, that as a Christian (I was Baptised and Confirmed into the C of E Tradition) I was taught that "we Christians" - I really hate that term - were not supposed to follow the Old Testament of the Bible as if it were the "gospel" truth, as it was just a way that the early Israelites tried to explain in a simplified form, about God, and how the Earth, and all the life on it, was formed.
Having said that, maybe there were some occult truths, within it. I believe that that is a possibility, especially as some of the stories seem to be a bit too "fantastic" to have been solely made up by the Israelites elders. So, was the story about the ability of God, through Moses, to part the Red Sea in order to give the Israelites a safe passage through the waves, and away from the pursuing Egyptions, really just a made-up up tale, or was it actually a true rendition of what had happened? Well, my way of thinking led me again to wondering if an alien spacecraft could have sent a downdraft upon the sea, to part the waves, and then did it withdraw when it saw the Egyptian soldiers, which meant that they were drowned when part way through the supposed safe pathway? I am also suggesting that maybe the Manna from Heaven was again aliens sending sustenance down from their unseen spacecraft?
Of course, my thoughts on these subjects bring many more questions than answers, and they are ones that even if I wished to share any more of my beliefs with you, I would not be able to so without a lot more research and meditation. So, have you made up your mind OP, am I as doolally as you think your H is, and are all people who open their minds to concepts that are - forgive me please - alien to you, also suffering from serious mental illnesses?
At the end of the day, I think that my thoughts, beliefs, and maybe my imaginings too, have made my life so far, much more interesting to me than I would have found yours. You could probably say the same back to me, but in reverse. Vive la difference 😊🩷
By the way, for a bit of added information about me, I am married, with wonderful, adult Children, and the most amazing and gorgeous Grandchildren. I have never been sectioned, I have never been arrested, and I only once - a long time ago - had a speeding ticket.
I have two rhetorical questions for you OP; do you believe in any God, and if not, do you think that everyone who does believe in a Higher Being, must themselves be mentally ill?
