Do you ever question your sanity?

[HEyHEY]

And I mean that seriously. Ever just ask yourself, "Am I fucking losing it?"

[TimeChaser]

1. At times, yes

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

2. I've been very close to that question myself a time or two

And I found out the answer is "NO".

[Fox Mulder]

Every fucking day.

[XemaSab]

13. Word.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. not seriously, no.

[JVS]

4. The voices tell me that everything is fine, why should I doubt them?

They know everything after all!

[HEyHEY]

5. But they can't talk to the cops for you!

I don't remember a thing, but the officer at the door says I painted 40 ducks at the park

[JVS]

6. The voices forbade me from talking to cops long ago.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I have gotten close......but generally, no.....

:scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. *looks at watch*

Seriously, I used to do it quite frequently.



But I'm much better now.

[jpgray]

9. What makes you think you had it to lose in the first place?

Fucking pompous guy, you.

[Fox Mulder]

10. "This is where I saw the leprechaun. He tells me to burn things."

[FuzzySlippers]

11. No,

but I question yours all the time.:o

[BikeWriter]

12. No. My psychiatrist and psychologist don't have any doubts, either.

They know I'm pretty far out there! :crazy:

[liberaltrucker]

14. NEVER...

I'm the only sane person on the planet.
The other 6 billion are fucking INSANE!!!!


:rofl:

[GirlinContempt]

15. Yes.

...




No sympathy.

[fizzgig]

16. every damn day

and i'm fairly certain that i have no sanity left

[hunter]

17. Like Anne Heche...

...I have appeared bizarre and babbling at the front door of some unsuspecting folks in Fresno.

But it was a long time ago.

[BikeWriter]

22. Fresno? They may have been my kin.

[RevCheesehead]

18. Every time I listen to the news.

I can't help but wonder what the fuck has happened to my country. :banghead:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. Absolutely.

It's when we stop questioning our sanity that we truly lose it.

[In_The_Wind]

20. Are you talking about this week?

It's early. Gimme me a day or two and ask me again.

[Skittles]

21. I'd say if you never do, you're not normal

yes indeed

[Minnesota Libra]

23. You ALWAYS DO when you have kids or.........

.....find yourself getting lost in life. It happens to the best of us.

[NMMNG]

24. Oh yes

But that is a good sign I have been told. If one is lucid enough to question their sanity, it means they still have some. Only after one is truly gone do they stop wondering.

[specimenfred1984]

25. Yes, Try Waking Up With an Anxiety Attack

with your mind racing and you don't have any control over it.

If your question was a serious one, you need to find out what's wrong and get rid of it, living in denial is for braindead repukes. If your question was a rhetorical one, the answer is also yes, I lost interest in mainstream society a long time ago.

I'm really happy I "lost it", although I never really had it to begin with so it doesn't really count. The real answer to your question is that if you can still ask yourself if you're losing it, you haven't lost it.

[Wetzelbill]

29. anxiety is tough stuff to overcome for sure

I worry constantly too. Can't help it.

[AlienGirl]

26. I have some serious mood problems that can include cognitive distortions

When my brain chemistry goes awry, I start thinking everyone is angry at me. Rationally, I can understand that I'm just having a brain problem, but on an emotional level I can't stop feeling like I have pissed everybody off.

Other weird things my brain does are panic attacks and catastrophizing. In other words, sometimes I'll just be sure I'm about to die (or worse), and become terrified; and I will have some small thing go wrong and believe it is The End Of Everything. Those leave me relatively cognitively stable, though, so I can step back and recognize, "No, I'm not really about to die/fly apart into tiny pieces/lose consciousness/vomit" or, in the case of catastrophizing, I can say, "This is just a tiny thing, I will get through it."

Living inside a malfunctioning brain is always an adventure.

[Lethe]

27. yep. and then i get up and eat a PB&J

and everything feels better

[Wetzelbill]

28. I talk to myself all the time

I have avid fantasies as well. I always cultivated it for creative stuff like writing. I started making up stories as a kid and have always done so. The talking out loud thing is a habit, because when I was little I was nervous about speaking in front of people and being too quiet etc. I practiced "speaking up." Now I just always do those things. However sometimes I wonder if I'm going to start flipping out like Jack Nicholson in "The Shining." I think creative people often walk a fine line between genius and nutcase. :)

[enigmatic]

30. For about 10 years

Mostly when I was riding Geryhounds and living in SRO Hotels across the country; I snapped out of it for the most part, but I still had times at the bottom.

I still howl at the moon every so often, though; it's part of my make-up, I guess..

[Katherine Brengle]

31. right now i am... i haven't slept and am trying to decide whether or not

to brew up a pot of coffee and try to wade through today without sleeping...

i am getting too old for this, lol...

(sometimes, when i am reading conservative columns and transcripts of dittohead radio shows, i catch myself momentarily wondering if i really am the crazy one... but i do the same thing when i catch myself subconsciously salivating over the idea of a big greasy piece of cheese pizza and then i get nauseous, so it passes, it all passes... with time...)

[Lethe]

33. yeah i do that too

i question my sanity starting after about 24 hrs without sleep. everything is so wacky. and now i'm listening to Duran Duran, help me!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. All the time.

And then that smartass answers back.

[Allenberg]

34. I used to.

Now I have a pill that takes care of that. :hi:

[donheld]

35. Many times

You shoulda seen me last thursday night. I was a wreck. That's just a start of my "losing it"

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. All the time. Especially in my teen years. But now, as a mom, I feel

I am going round the bend more often than I feel normal. :hi:

[LaurenG]

37. Unfortunately yes

especially today for some reason. :thumbsdown:

[hyphenate]

38. Every day!

And I mean that seriously as well.

[DelawareValleyDem]

39. Yes, but it never replies nt
