Mental instability.

[SckizoBoy]

Yeah, whatever... I prefer it my way.

*meh* Then we'll agree I'm the superior schizoid! (What an ambition that worked out to be...)

Is funny cuz I actually meant to spell it 'Ashberger's
<spoiler= Derp>http://pictures.mastermarf.com/blog/2010/100508-derp.jpgDose atrocious spelling count as a mental defect?

Nope, that just means you are more derp afflicted than the rest of us! I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do to save you. ^_^

I have this thing when I cannot... uh... I forgot...

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

What the HELL are you even DOING on the interwebs?!?
I even imagined you saying that in Cockney accent

I'm not one to abandon my roots man.

 

[Tulks]

Bi-polar type II and a degree of Social Affective. Does tachyphemia count?

Refused meds early on after a short trial on valproates, in the past I've tended to get by through self-medication with booze and grass, and latterly through an increasing ability to assess and control my mood.

 

[Alkaline]

I've got.... pretty bad depression. >_<

I sincerely hope you picked that nick at random. Otherwise you will forever be remembered as the Toilet Guy.

Strange WH40K jokes aside, I don't really think my elevator goes all the way up, but I don't want to get a diagnose. If I did however, chances are high for lighter versions of ADHD and Aspberger.

Mostly because I've gotten around decently for 25 years and getting diagnosed wouldn't really change anything anyways.

Addendum: I second the OP:s spelling of schizofrenia! Because swenglish spelling is awesome!

 

[Skeleton Jelly]

I'm not going to self diagnose myself. And $15 saying anyone the calls themselves insane, isn't insane/mad. Because it's a lot worse than TV and movies make it out to be.

Also being really sad or upset about something =/= depression. Please PLEASE don't get this mixed up.

Saying you're depressed or insane doesn't make you cool. Really, it doesn't unless you're talking to 13 year old girls.

 

[TheMagicIndian]

I'm a suicidal depressive. It runs in my family. As does alcoholism, which is why I don't drink. I didn't even drink on my 21st birthday which bummed out my family but I don't care. It just doesn't interest me. Also, I'm legally insane. I match 9 out of 10 markers for a serial killer, as well. I thought that was interesting. I'm probably, although not tested, schizophrenic.

The only thing that keeps me from flipping out and stabbing people every day is the way I think. I usually am on the outside looking in at myself at all times. I guess it could be described as having two personalities and one is always keeping me in check. That and I'm emotionally distant from every other member of the human race, it seems. Again, because of the way I think. I'm obsessed with making decisions based around logic. Questions that may cause a 'normal' person to stop and assess themselves or the situation are instantly answered in my head because I always pick the most logical choice.

I swear I'm a friggin' robot or something...

 

[Aarquus]

nope, but all the Fertile Ground adverts on every video i watch aren't helping...

 

[Shiftygiant]

I suffer from recurring tetris syndrome (Like most gamers), and I'm paranoid of owl's.

Toilet Guy. I actually haven't heard that one before. I signed up years ago and don't know what to change my name too so I've just rolled with it

 

[Haukur Isleifsson]

Who, know this is not very helpful or anything but I never knew there were so many mentally ill people here. I myself. I think I'm rather emotionally and mentally stable.

I have been accused of being a narcissist but I think that the person in question was just jealous of me.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Social anxiety, but I'm not sure if that counts as an instability. I'm quite predictable and low-key.

 

[Gralian]

I suffer from an anxiety disorder that makes socialising very difficult for me. I can also have very intense bouts of high depression, most likely because anxiety and depression are quite often linked. I've been seeing a therapist for about a year and trying to work through it with CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). I'd like to tell myself it's working, but i have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that it's not, and that worries me, because i don't want to have to end up taking medicine.

I also have.. eh... auditory hallucinations. Sometimes i hear (or think i hear) someone calling my name, either downstairs or from a room next door, when no-one has. Or there's no-one in the house. I've also heard noises like an animal screeching, tapping, or sometimes what sounds like people murmuring that's been right next to my ear when there's been nothing there and all the windows have been firmly shut. It can get a bit distressing at times and make me jump but i've learned to sort of shrug it off. Occasionally i may see a flash of light, or glint, or shadow or something in the very corner of my eye and turn to look but nothing's there. I don't think that's another form of hallucination though, i think that's just the mind playing tricks on you. I suppose my belief i "hear" or "see" things that aren't there also stems from my anxiety issues as well.

But don't worry ladies; i'm not crazy!
... I think.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

I think I'm normal, though I do think I have slight case of Bi-Polar sometimes, but I think I'm mentally stable.

 

[blue heartless]

I have always said, out loud and at great length, that if you aren't a little nuts you aren't truly sane.

Hello mates! Do you have somekind of mental instability? and if you do how do you handle it? Or do you have somekind of "contact" with somebody that suffer from a mental instability?

I know this questions are a bit odd but I'm mostly asking cos' two days ago I got diagnosed with that I'm a sociopath, I suffer from post traumatic stress and I got some "version light" of schizofrenia. I really don't bother any of the 3 things, I really couldn't care less really but it got me thinking how others handle and live with their mental instabilities.

I also hope you don't feel offended by the questions, have a good day.

well first thing: we all have some mental issues that ties into who we are, our personality. Small ones are called nerosis and big onesare called psycosis.

I dont have a diagnosis or a problem but my friend who have a diagnosis sees alot of his quirks in me, and I in him.

His quirk is that if he does not activate himself he gets sleepy and the more things that are going on at once the better he can concentrate. Therefore he is a idea-gattling-gun and his wheels are always turning. That is called ADHD, where the brain is understimulated and you activate yourself. People like me or him, tends to be artistic,creative, emotional. Usually people with these quirks are either entrepronurs, artist or criminalls.

I work with a person who is autistik adn we get along great, there is no "normal" you realise that everyone is special in their own way, like your "normal" fellow classmate who dont like math, to your "unnormal" person with a diagnosis.

I even understand Borderline and the other diagnosis. For example when your insecure about yourself, you tend to provoke the people around you to get attention, like the cool kids at school. So alot of people have the "quirks" of borderline; a person who is so insecure of himself he does not know himself, cannot read and use his insticts, there is no border. Therefore such a person "experiment", provoke, the people around him to find out if they can be trusted.

PS. All these "quirks" manifests differently with all people, so you may have borderline or sociopathic tendencies and be totally different from me as a borderline peron with sociopathic tendencies.

I think i know what your experiansing listen to this and decide.

I lay in my bed and my ears are beeping with screeching noises, even tough I have not listened to music at all. The walls and ceiling begin to twist and turn to form bizarre faces. My senses begin to operate on overdrive and I cant decide if I hear things or if they come from my mind, i see flashes and mirrages.

Now this is all easely explainable. When you move your ears you can by accident wiggle them just so that it affects your hearing. It s just like that with your eyes, if you tense the muriad muscles around your eyes you begins to see tiny "pixles" on all you see, also flashes of blue light, "ghosts", and shadows.

This is becuace you have less optical sensors on the edges of your eyes, so the brain take the small data it gets from the edges ofyour eyes and fill in the rest with your imagination.

Now the main point is that you can relax and solve these problems with minfullnes. Nindfulnes is that you feel your body and can deduce what your insticts tell you, iE COCNITIVE THERAPY. "I feel a sinking feeling" "becuase?" I ask myself and relax, so I can analyse calmly.

You need to take your emotional state in account when you think about these things, first be emotional then relax and see the issue from another perspective.

Well that was my thougths on the matter.

If mindfullnes feels interesting, try martial arts or another form of sport, its great.

I also think i hear people call my name, when i listen to headphones, It used to be that my mum whst calling me to dinner when i listened ti musik, these habits stick with you.
