Or is it me?
I am certain that everyone is crazy. some are just crazier than others. The ones who know they are crazy at least have a shot at sanity. Carry on... (and don't forget to chew your food thoroughly) |

The world is a wild and crazy place, impossible to understand. Harder still to live in from day to day.
I think those of us who are diagnosed have the best chance of understanding and coping, because we at least are aware of the problems. A lot of people are just blind. |

I agree with you both. Most people are just clueless to this fact. Some of us have a little more clarity.

Some can be crazy by definition of dysfunctional and have a "friendly" mind. Some can be well adjusted and be total lunatics...

We experience how and what in life is both meaningful and meaningless and neither. And how others don't see that that is meaningful, valuable, and not (just) a disease, an ability.
It's depressing and causes anxiety too such extent that it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to function. We'll never be a good fit, but we can find a place where we fit best. And we can use meds at least until we do.

I agree that those of us who have been diagnosed have the best shot at sanity if we keep on our prescribed treatment. I look at my 30 year old daughter and see myself at that age 15 years before I was finally diagnosed. Difference is I knew something was wrong, either she is in denial, won't tell me, or truly doesn't know. I find it hard to be with her and her up and down moods. I never know what I will get from her.

I make friends with my bugs. They are very icky friends, and sometimes they blind me to phenomenal universe. But they are my friends...

To answer the question, the world is definitely crazy. Whether or not you are is something worth finding out, if you don't already know.

I asked this same question to the first competent pdoc I ever went to. He said "Yes."
I hope this type size comes out okay -- I've had a lot of trouble with this cc/paste. Anyway.... Absolutely - and it was always thus. Two social history books give some sort of reality to this fact -- " The History of the Medieval World: From the Conversion of Constantine to the First Crusade " by Susan Wise Bauer and "A Distant Mirror, the Calamitous 14th Century” by Barbara Tuchman." There are also books about the ongoing history of the United States, such as "A People's History of the United States." by Howard Zinn. Knowing this history and its examples of what reality is, I have accepted the fact that the picture and myths we are told that these awful things are "recent, new, and/or correctable," are false. I just have to accept that that is, tragically and outrageously, the way things are. As Monty Python says in his wacky spoof song (which I sing), "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" -- "worse things happen at sea, you know." |

I think so. But I'm trying to keep on going whatever happens.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
