Why does this happen?

[neoman10]

I haven't contemplated suicide since I was ten, when I held a cooking knife to the back of my head. I couldn't kill myself and summarised that if I couldn't kill myself, even with all I needed there, I wasn't ever going to kill myself.

When my vision wobbles, though... it's not the urge to embrace death or forfeit life, just sadness. Sadness at realising that I know nothing in the grand scheme of things, except that I know nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Sadness.

This is a symptom of a mental problem known as depression. It is characterized by bouts of moodiness, longing to accomplish something, and emo music. Cures include videogames, beer, sleep, sex, videogames, more sex, and pretending you are Neo.

And I'm being serious.

As for the eyes wobbling and all that, go see a doctor. A real one, not an Internet doctor.

I know I'm awesome, huh? (lots of this joke these days)

That's rather insensitive, isn't it? I've been depressed for 6 months because of my father's death. You just don't know how bad that feeling is.

Sorry to hear that but my take on depression is different from yours. I think, with enough cynicism and reclusiveness, you can ignore feelings of depression or at least minimize their effect. And my life is different from your life just as my opinions differ from yours. You see insensitivity, I see moving on with life.

Sort of sounds like a weird branch of tourettes syndrome.....

Something tells me this is the forum wherein I might be able to buy drugs from one of you...

I'd look into whether or not you are a drama queen. Not a vicious attack, it's the only way I can put it. Asking questions like "Am I real?" are so beyond non-sensical that you dramatise a situation where you get a head rush. I get high pitched tones zone in and out of my head, but that's only because I listen to music WAAAY too loud in my ears. Nothing more food and water can't fix! Maybe stare at a screen for shorter amounts of time!

 

[Higurashi]

I think, therefore I am. The only thing I can be sure of is that my conscience exists, since I can think. Solipsism is true logic. Not very useful, but true logic.

Get some sleep, and eat at regular intervals.

 

[Sh4dowSpec]

Statistically speaking, everyone and everything in our known universe is 99.9% nothing--not vacuum, not air, just nothingness. Since this is true, how can we say that we exist? Can we really say that we think, that we feel, that we experience anything when we are, in essence, nothing? And, what's more, the miniscule amounts of matter that makes us up is constantly in flux, being essentially tiny balls of electrical charge that change places millions of times every second. How can we possibly exist if all of this is true?

Get some sleep, and eat at regular intervals.

This actually has a bit of merit as lack of sleep can cause the eye twitch and lack of sleep/poor diet can cause some crazy thoughts.

I'm sorry, have you ever had depression before? It really doesn't sound like it.

I'm sorry, have you ever been to university before? It really doesn't sound like it.

That statement holds as much water as your own. Never assume you know anything about the people you meet online.

sometimes when its bright out, i see clear dots and a squigle.

 

[ampa451]

is it 2 ls?

 

[themadhacker]

its funny how you can easily tell the idiots nonesence freaks from the wisdom i know too much for my own good people.

anyways, but i do have a similar problem, my vision goes blurry and i feel pain and weakness in my entire body, and yea, that white noise like some one left an old TV on a channel that doesnt work. it last about 10-30 seconds and some times i get philisophical like that, but usually its related to a personal problem because im a bit of a narcissist.

now, from what i was told by my doctor, its a small problem in the brain that occationally disrupt nerve signals, and it happens to about 1% of people. i dont remember the actual name, but he calls them a 'blood rush.' didnt explain much more that that, sorry.

Thank you for sidestepping my question. So have you ever had depression or not?

 

[manicfoot]

I get that around once a month. I question the point of everything and realise that in the grand scheme of things my life means fuck all. I live in a small town, in a small county, in a small country, on a small planet, in a small galaxy. Pretty hard to get motivated to do anything in that state of mind. Seems my default setting is nihlist haha.

 

[DrunkenKitty]

Every now and again, I'm just sitting around, minding my own business and suddenly... my vision wobbles off to the left, to the right, a loud white noise in my ears, everything seems too real and I start saying stuff like:

"Fuck, am I real?" "What is life, why do I care?" "If life wasn't real, would I care? I'm still here, real or not..." "If I'm not real why would I need to bother asking?"

It's strange... everything except the questions cease to exist and then normal comes back.

Does anyone else get this?

Don't worry. You're definitely real. It's just too bad that the rest of us are robots and we all hate you.

Just kidding. Seriously, you should looking into the fundamentals of Buddhism and consider spending 20 minutes or so in meditation in the mornings.

I don't want to try and solve this with religion, I just want to know why it might be happening, really.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

My question is: what is defined as real?
Touch, Smell, Sight, Sound and Taste are just signals sent through nerves to the brain.
When we 'feel' things, we may not be feeling them at all.
Our brains could be just creating barriers for our minds...
We could all be spirits, for all we know.
That would be pretty cool, though. We could potentially 'create' stuff out of thin air if we learned to control this possible 'Matrix' properly. XD

 

[mark_n_b]

it's called schizophrenia, a lot of people have it, there is medication that helps.

 

[orifice]

It would be a good idea to get the physical symptoms checked out. Im not a doctor, but that does not sound good. As for the philosophical questioning, embrace it! If your asking the questions maybe it's because you want to know the answers.
