So Who's Crazy?

Welcome to the General Discussion area where just about anything goes! This area is designed to discuss all matters and does not necessarily have to be Transformers related. Please keep topics relevant.

So Who's Crazy?

Postby DesalationReborn » Mon Nov 19, 2007 12:26 am

This started in another topic thread, and may overlap with some others, but I personally feel it fills it's own personal niche the other's don't cover. I'll start this with a partial copy and paste:

How many people suffer from some mental abnormality here? I gotta ask-- the count seems high.

I know I have ADD in both sides of my family, and have been suspected of that, depression, and Aspergers for years now.

EDIT: And the title is meant in jest, if you all were wondering.

I'm guessing I have a few problems, but I'll be damned if I'm actually going to get professional help for them. Call it stubborn pride.

I'm pretty sure I have long term depression and I get some really sick and twisted ideas. Nothing of the run of the mill slitting wrists or the hangmans noose mind you. Last time I wanted to take a swan dive off the bridge down the road and try to hit the start picket that's sticking out of the water... The best thing that helps is to stick some DevilDriver on nice and loud and it usually pulls me out of it. The harder and more aggressive the music is, the better I feel.

Stubbornness is what keeps us all alive. And thanks for the great music lead.

I have ADD. They diagnosed it when I was 5, and I'm 34 now. The medications dont really do crap to help it. Personally from what I've seen of others who took the ritallin and stuff it caused them to be zoned out zombies. Oh yeah, that's a great way to fix the problem boys and girls. The things I've been able to find out that seem to really help the most are: Somehow it is related to your REM, seems we're wired to need more of it than normal people. I function best on 9+ hours of sleep, if I can get into REM that is. Also it seems to have something to do with Iron and vitamin D deficincy(sp?). Since my doctor had me start taking extra of those two I've noticed improvement as well. Its still touch and go though because they havent conclusively figured out exactly why and how it happens. Seems every few years they're coming out with new study results and theories.

I also suffer from depression. And I do take medicine for that. Believe me it helps. Actually its downright wonderful.

Here's a test to see if you really are: LOOK! OVER THERE! A SHINY THING!








If you looked, you have ADHD. If you didn't...you might still have ADHD, but at least you aren't a gullible sheep.

Only diagnosed problem is ADD...

I'm much to frightened to find out what else is wrong with me.
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

It's great when you realize you're sitting somewhere and can't remember how you got there. And then quickly understand that someone else was using your brain to drive places.

Thank God it doesn't happen often.

I have Depression and ADD.

And OCD.

And mild Aspergers.

And I'm a 27 year old virgin whose friends all have multiple sex partners and/or cheat on their girlfriends in a threesome after he kicks me out of his apartment that one time.

Suck it. :-P


Oh, and my brain is biologically female.

I hate these diseases...

Here's why...

Ask a retarded kid, or a guy who's lost his legs, or arms, or someone who has been burned badly, exactly what they want out of life. The answer, will be simple and almost always the same: "To be treated normally, like everyone else."

Ask someone with ADD or some other new wave psyco-illness the same question and you get a laundry list of exceptions and excuses.

There is legitimate ADD and such. Those kids are barely able to function in a normal life setting. If you're able to type out witty, thoughtful responses on an internet forum based on your ability to read and comprehend complex arguments...are you really all that disfunctional?

I don't know, maybe you are, but let's not life be defined by the 'victim' role we make up for ourselves.

Nothing officially diagnosed. But lately I am increasingly paranoid, I hear voices whispering my name and feel prescences behind me, when I'm completely alone. I have to check doors are locked and lights/computer is turned off multiple times before I leave a room, and I have started talking to myself Gollum style.

No he hasnt. You be quiet.

Yes sir.

Ahem, but other than that, I'm completely off my rocker. :HEADHURTS:

I don't have any real mental problems, but the closest thing I suppose would be some OCD tendencies. I've gotten better as an adult, but as a kid I wouldn't drink after myself from a glass (I'd turn it slightly after each drink and wash the glass before refilling it), would NOT step on a crack for anything, if something were turned in one direction, I'd have to turn it back from the direction it came, that kind of crap. I'm really big on following a routine and god help someone that messes with it.

Really though, half of these people, including myself, have previously said they really don't seek any help unless urged by family, and frankly just want to lead a normal life without resorting to drugging up. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea people are playing victim here. I asked, so people are telling. No spotlights here.

Meh, he's young, he'll grow out of that. But, I don't know Shadow personally, he seems fine from here.

And I see where Counterpunch is going with his post, the psychological "sciences" and the drug companies have a vested interest in making people believe that they are sicker than they really are. "Normal" people are the minority now.

For example, calling depression a "disease" is lying. Clinical depression is an illness, not a disease. Depression is a normal emotional state that people experience numerous times during a lifetime, if they have any kind of soul. See how easily the language is muddled?

The pneumonia is an illness, cancer is a disease. Chronic anxiety is an illness, AIDS is a disease.

There are very few actual psychological diseases. I know that certain disorders can be very serious; BPD, ADD, OCD, and the like, if severe, should be remedied. But I highly advise against running for help just because you're overly meticulous about your car, or excessively worried over something that is important to you.

Much of what is branded "clinically antisocial" is normal and necessary for individual learning and growing. You can't judge a person's entire psyche by a few eccentric behaviors. We all have them.

I don't know where I'm going with all this. I never know where to start with this subject...
