That part doesn't but the body of the argument does 
It is somewhat of an abstract philological argument for the existence of dualism but I don't believe there is another way to prove dualism other than to experience it first hand through a guided argument.
A VERY coherent argument.

it sounds like you are showing symptoms of psychosis or schizophrenia. While schizophrenics to report delusions and hallucinations, what some people may not know is that most symptoms of schizophrenic are depressive symptoms, like anhedonia, loss of motivation, flat affect, etc., which it sounds like you are experiencing. The fact that aripiprazole (an atypical antipsychotic) alleviated your delusions also points to psychosis/schizophrenia. Are you in your early 20s? I suggest going to a therapist for help, and avoid medication for the time being (unless it you find it truly helpful and right for you). If you can, try to force yourself to take part in activities that you once found pleasurable.
something to keep in mind is that some people show symptoms of depression/psychosis/schizophrenia after things like robust immune responses or a stressful/traumatic event. I even know of someone who started showing symptoms in response to a tick bite that gave him lyme disease. Think back on the past few years and try to remember if anything out of the ordinary may have induced your symptoms. It could be vital for your treatment.
good luck

Im having trouble trying to reconcile this action against some of your early posts. Are you saying the that the only way for you to prove an objective point you must first subjectively experience it.?

It's a non-fiction argument and like many other non-fiction topics there needs to be some concentrated reading.
I think it's more so proving that there is subjectivity.

I agree with you. Either I've changed my stance or you have.

OP, take all that I say with a grain of salt, as I'm no doctor. Witch doctor for sure, but not Western mainstream medicine doctor
Sounds to me like you're doing a very very common set of activities that I've seen predictably lead to feeling down, blah, and also angry at life, angry at the world.
Repetitive negative thinking, focused mostly in the past or future, not the here and now. Focusing on the negative of what-is, instead of the awesome creative positive of what you want-to-be, want to work towards.
Avoiding present moment (high DMN activity, low TPN, clearly linked with mood issues).
Shallow incoherent unaware mindless breathing (forgetting to breathe as you overthink). Often coupled with A LOT of eyes-open time. So avoiding meditation, mindful breathing eyes closed.
You may be quite fidgety, restless, please observe that, that you waste a ton of electrical energy on completely pointless movement and signals, given that you've not chosen more clear hobbies or ways to focus your energy coherently. Very common for people who have no hobbies, that they soon get bored and restless (expression of the surplus electrical energy our body makes, that then DOES need some form of use, it needs to be put to something) and since there's no clear skill, ability or target, one then starts to suppress that energy with restless movement or smoking or overeating, or alcohol. The solution here is finding sports and stuff to DO, not to medicate more to not feel bored when things are boring.
Use of alcohol (CNS depressant, taking energy even lower).
Not sure what your antipsychotic pills do exactly, so ideally you may want to reach a point where you can function well without them (read: have friends and hobbies, go outside, engage yourself with stuff first and THEN start considering lowering the dose on pills).
As for wanting to off people, well of course it's nothing to write home about, but I can tell you last year I too was legit considering to off a dude, for what I considered to be good reason at the time, and it all played out well (nobody died, got assaulted or arrested, though am still considering some assault on that dude if situation shows up ) and that required no medication at all. WHat helped me a lot was splitting wood in anger with an axe, while imagining that the wood in question is the guy's head. Do that until your arms can lift an axe no more, endorphins kick in and you'll feel fine. Pussy move of course is to wish to "talk to a therapist about these feelings" when in fact all you need is some good ol' club action, hitting and smashing things to release the anger.
Question here is what do you want to DO with your time? What are you building towards? If all you have is "I don't know" then that right there is the issue, get some ideas together and come back we'll see where this goes 
What are you saying you wish to put time and energy in, what hobby or field, and the alleged mental health decrease is preventing you from it?
Because if all you wish to do is stay indoors, drink, smoke, take pills and watch movies, then you can do that very well with a limp, no problem.
Are you going outside trying to jog and sprint, and the limp is affecting you, or are you just dragging your feet as a correct expression of the fact that you feel emotionally drained?

My best guess is that you don't love yourself.
C'mon guys focus on how to love yourselves!!
