In the past (and I hope never again), I have experienced insanity. Other than that, and as an everyday occurance, I don't feel I am crazy. I do feel that if I am manic or depressed I am sick. I don't usually use that term however, instead I will refer to myself as unwell. It is hard for many people to think as such, even those who are aware and those who suffer themselves. It is considered a "mental illness," a severe one in fact, and therefore we are sick during an episode.
