I`m very Paranoid, ESPECIALLY when I smoke up. The second I start thinking about the universe and aliens, it`s all over. LOL. I guess you can throw in Overactive Imagination too.
Dent in my head, likely brain damage. A variety of recorded but un-labeled mental and emotional problems. In the past I've been diagnosed (incorrectly) as things like Bi-Polar, Borderline Personality, and Manic-Depressive. I have symptoms of all these things but none of them really fit, especially seeing as a lot of my problems are doubtlessly the result of damage to my brain (and honestly the only way to tell would be to cut open the top of my skull where it's dented and look, but even if they did that what would they do about it?).
As a kid I was in a lot of residential placements, and I've had numerous problems. I do things like talk to myself, pace continously, and even have bouts of paranoia, depression and extreme anxiety. I take drugs to control these tendencies and it works okay I guess.
The severity of my problems have changed over the years. I was really bad as a kid, got okay for a while as an adult (though was very wierd and did things like talk to myself and have wierd mood swings), then got pretty bad again and after being fired and finding it nearly impossible for a guy who talks to himself and has a record of periodic "attitude problems, and aberrant behavior) to find employment, I retired on disabillity with no questions due to my truckload of documentation going back to a very early age.
That's my wonderful "defect". Unlike the truely delusional I realize I have serious problems which helps to deal with them. However needless to say my life is generally far from happy. Whether it's brain damage, or my mind/thought processes were just borked from an early age, I have no idea.
Now that I've shared, anyone else want to toss it all out there for a group therepy session? (I'm frank about this kind of thing because it seems like I've told half the world already, and it's not like I really care anymore).

If it makes you feel any better, I don't sleep well either, and I have neither of those problems. ...does insomnia count for this thread?sky14kemea said:yeah i dont sleep very well XD
i think you can be an ex-pyro... i used to love setting things on fire and stuff, just normal things like paper
but now i just watch bonfires and stuff, i dont actually set things alight anymore
By the way, it's nice to see someone who's outgrown the urge to blow shit up.
dont get me wrong, i love watching explosions, i just dont feel the need to cause them XDdstryfe said:If it makes you feel any better, I don't sleep well either, and I have neither of those problems. ...does insomnia count for this thread?sky14kemea said:yeah i dont sleep very well XD

and yes i tihnk insomnia counts, i have a bit of that too
That would be the idea, yes, but I like watching them too.sky14kemea said:dont get me wrong, i love watching explosions, i just dont feel the need to cause them XD

Which stops you from sleeping, then? The insomnia, or trouble with the dark?
Mild psychosis and mild multiple personality disorder, neither of which affect my day-to-day life at all. Paranoia about strangers, a certain amount of pyromania (though I think everyone has pyromania to a certain extent) and and addictive personality that I fight constantly.
hmm, good question...dstryfe said:That would be the idea, yes, but I like watching them too.sky14kemea said:dont get me wrong, i love watching explosions, i just dont feel the need to cause them XD

i'd say the trouble with the dark would probably be the main culprit, and it probably caused the insomnia to begin with XD
My biggest is probably that I have a very addictive personality, which is why I'm staying far away from drugs. I don't need that shit mixing with my personality and ruining my life, video games alone are coming damn close.
hmmm, it can be caused by an over-active imagination, or maybe stress/anxietydstryfe said:
lots of things really, but then, im not a pro, its only guesswork XD
My 3rd teacher thought I had ADD because when I was younger, I was a crazy ass *****, I hit my head against walls, but i think thats because she annoyed the fuck out of me, and I saw the guy from Road to Eldarado do it when the blond dude was being a dumb fuck.
These days my only problem is that I like to blow shit up(what teenage boy dosent?)

I'm on the paranoid boat. I can't do the reckless stuff kids normally do. Because I know if the hammer drops I don't want to be caught under it! And I'm always afraid the hammer is going to drop
Makes sense, since the over-active imagination was what I chose for this damned thing...and anxiety is the logical conclusion to paranoia, right?sky14kemea said:hmmm, it can be caused by an over-active imagination, or maybe stress/anxiety

i think so, im not at all sure how paranoia starts, but yeah it usually leads to anxietydstryfe said:Makes sense, since the over-active imagination was what I chose for this damned thing...and anxiety is the logical conclusion to paranoia, right?sky14kemea said:hmmm, it can be caused by an over-active imagination, or maybe stress/anxiety

If I'm not mistaken, then you can avoid the anxiety by analyzing everything to death. Then all you are is stressed out, and sleepless...meaning you haven't solved anything. Now I'm going to be mulling this over in my head all damned night.sky14kemea said:i think so, im not at all sure how paranoia starts, but yeah it usually leads to anxiety
