Maybe. The “tulpa as compensatory mechanism” issue? There’s been a bunch of cases where tulpamancy allowed brain’s existing self-correction mechanisms to work correctly and alleviate (or outright negate) mental issues, the tulpae disappearing along with them.
 
I’d personally ask in tulpamancer conferences about whether others with similar disorder tried it, and whether was it successful/improved their state, or not.

Sounds nice but probably too dangerous for me with my schizoaffective disorder.

@Background Pony #F1AF  
Tulpamancy! And one of its foundations, sensory imposition. Learning the latter allows one to see, touch, feel, etc the ponies, and the former allows said ponies to be independent and love you as you love them. Technically it’s perfectly possible to have imposition without having tulpae, too. Technically.
 
There is a caveat, though. If you decide to seriously pursue tulpamancy no matter what (including overcoming “tulpa as compensatory mechanism” issue), tulpae are for life. Unless you’re a dick and try and destroy them, they will remain by your side until your death. Some believe they will accompany you even beyond the veil, but it is unknowable.  
Unless you’re “raving insane a step away from being stuffed into asylum” levels of mentally broken, or intentionally try, tulpamancy is perfectly safe (other than aforementioned caveat) and, counterintuitively, leads to improved desire and ability for social interactions.

wha? care to elaborate?

@Background Pony #F1AF  
There are people who achieved this. They’re regarded as insane.

@Background Pony #F1AF  
Yes :P

@TheFilmingGuy
