    I think I am living proof that after a few years of torture at the hands of life(depression, lonelyness, misery, cancer) - one just becomes imune to pain

    I dont think that there is anything anyone (cept aoife :) ) could do right now to hurt me.

    That's one of the worst things about growiing up - it takes so long to get used to the idea that life sux.

    It depends on what type of insanity... I personally feel that the raging "insanity" from which i suffer actually allows me better explore the depth of reality and end up far more enlightened than most... gotta say though, the more you stare into the abyss, the more likely you are to agree with crowley and yeats in your worldly outlook. Hehe... beggars and kings.

    you do not suffer from insanity, you may be intelligent, you may be depressed - but insane is too strong a word - believe me - i've live with somone who was really insane, i know

    True insanity is beyond the insane minds eye. Insanity is clearly visible to a sane minds intuition. All the cliques in life are true. Like the one that ricochets amongst pissed off country peoples lips from time to time. "Your not cracked if you know your cracked" or something to that effect. What I would really like to know about insane people is: Can they be happier than an intelligent sane person? I would guess yes. The more intelligence and abstraction in your cerebrum, the more effervescent your depression will become.
    I'll close my asshole now.

    insanity hurts. i've recently been losing it a lot more often than i used to and i'm getting slightly worried now. i'm presuming it'll sort itself out eventually though, these things tend to. and if not, i'll go see a shrink like i've been meaning to since last year because it'd just be getting ridiculous.
    small amounts of insanity are good, it's a lot more fun being crazy than being sane. *I* think.

    I dunno... Kev (non ctyier... only those that hang with me will understand) thinks i'm REALLY nuts after today when I pulled out lots of my hair and set fire to it...

    Heheh... I'm getting councelling in school! The fools!

    Oh... and a brief apology to all those i worried and depressed on saturday. I won't do it again, at the very least for a long long time. Sorry... and don't worry about me too much. I don't intend on killing myself (it just might be an adverse side-effect)...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 304 ✭✭alaskagirl


    well i definiteyl wouldnt say that im insane, but i really am quite batty. most of te time people think im crazy because they have just never experienced CTYI. Poor them. I do however take drugs for it, so there is a possibility that i would be up to par on the craziness scale if i went off the medication for a few days....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 406 ✭✭shep the malevolent pixie


    sven, what'd you do on saturday? methinks you should probably text me or just talk to me this weekend if you're in.

    i think that i probably wouldn't enjoy life as much as i do if it weren't for my eccentricity/eccentricities.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 304 ✭✭alaskagirl


    yes, I enjoy being quirky and slightly deranged. i wouldnt go as far as to say i was "freakish" but i would say that i am weirder than most people. at least i ADMIT to being weird. and mostly i am the happy, hyper weird. its just more my style. actually, people think i am perpetually happy and never have any problems, but i think i just hide it really well, and deal with things effectively. plus, i've been pretty fortunate in life. my parents are together, we have a place to live, none of us are TOO terribly diseased, and my most recent/memorable death in the family was my cat. plus, i get to go to CTYI! how lucky is that?
    so... usually i can find something to be happy about. i also like seeing people do good things. i think people also think im weird because i will smile for no reason, or laugh. i love my life, even when it is crappy. i guess the antidepressants are working, eh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 406 ✭✭shep the malevolent pixie


    i try to be happy as much as i can. and when i can't be truly happy, i act it. and i'm getting pretty damn good at acting it, no one knows the difference anymore! yaay! no, no, no. i *am* happy. shut up, that's why. :D

    I genuinely believe I am either turning manicly-depressed or slowly turning insane.

    Probably a strange combination of the two.

    Yeah...either way I'll be

    1. On medication.
    2. Even more interesting to most of my schoolchums


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 304 ✭✭alaskagirl


    rad. medication is for cool people! and those who dont think so: pbtht! i say we start a club! CTYIers for Medication! woohoo!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    The anti-depressants I were on made me suicidal. It was an actual side-effect that was known to occur. When it got to the stage of beginning to contimplate the whole sticking my hand in the blender stage I stopped taking them. <well... hehehehehe... *that's* another story... hehehehehehehe>


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 406 ✭✭shep the malevolent pixie


    aren't anti-deppressants supposed to make you *not* depressed? i was sure that was the point of them... ah well, you learn somethin' new every day and other such cliches.
