what mental illness do you suffer from? just curious.
« on: May 26, 2010, 02:03:44 PM »
while reading some of the threads on here i was just wondering how many on here  suffer {pretty obvious}  from mental illness and when you were diagnosed and treated. i myself have demonstrated some strange behavior from time to time. when circuit city was going out of business and they were selling the leftover crap for 70 percent off, i went in and became angered when i saw all the dvds were not aphalbetized {you know what i mean} so i staRTED ON THE SIDE AWAY FROM THE CASH REGISTER and put i am legend in the front face in all the movie slots, they literally had hundreds of this movie in the store thats why i picked it. when i completed that side i started to work on the other side when i got half way through i took a break at that point one of the employees spotted the 100 or so  facings and proceeded to yell at some burned out employee saying this looks like something you would do.  for some reason i got great satifaction from this. when the employee started to rectify the situation i suggested he might consider  putting them in  order   a  to z. what is my malfuntion i just curious or am i just fun-loving?

Jeda is irgendwie deppat - oft sind die, die am verrücktesten scheinen die normalsten. Natürlich wird der "Irre" dann von den "Normalen" unterbuttert, und die schlauen Irren schaun zu.

Nothing major with me -> some insanity + bi polar disorder with a side of OCD and lots of depression.

It's not like I need help or anything.

Nymphomania and schizophrenia. I spend loads of time effing myself over.
Almost always, yes.

The crazy ones are just slightly crazier than the normal ones. The difference is not that big.

Adult ADD. Not actually diagnosed but from what I've read on it. Probably had it as a child looking back. Can't concentrate just on one thing.

Just to clear things up, I don't believe ADD is a legit disorder.

You just need to focus on something that your mind finds sticky, stud.

Für mich...
Authentisch, auch wenn nicht angebracht = eher normal.

I can't wait to see what Goodrum puts down.  I really want to know what he has and if it was drug induced or if he was born that way

Nobody has a perfect education, perfect parents, so everybody has his own psychological scars. Some are just bigger/more incapacitating than others -bad luck!- and will impact more on one's life.

I've always wondered what it's like to have a bipolar disorder. For some people it seems like that perfect spark of total insanity that fuels their creativity whether it'd be music, comedy or art.

Sorry about the depression though.  :(

You should alert the AMA of your findings.   ::)

I don't really suffer from it anymore because of something that happened a few years back. But you're right - it is a double edged sword that gives you an edge a normal person could never have, depending on how it affects you.
