So I'm going mentally insane...

…and I’m seducing a very young foreign exchange student at my college, because she’s easy prey.

I don’t even know what’s wrong with me, but lately when I try to go to sleep, I have these immense flashes in my head before I’m about to fall unconscious. I can’t really tell if I’m going to have a stroke or if it’s like a warning sign for it or something. Or, maybe I have a tumor. I don’t know; I doubt those things. But I do know that I am going mentally insane. I suppose people can discount what I’m saying around here pretty easily then, now. I don’t really know what to do about this. I imagine that it has to do with me not eating very much and doing no exercise for weeks, since I can’t really afford food right now. It’ll be at least a couple weeks before I can.

Just rambling, if anybody has some advice for my situation, then I’d appreciate it. And NO I am not going to medicate myself, except maybe with alcohol wherever I can get my hands on it. In due time…

And once I can afford my alcoholism, then rest assured, you will see the end of me around here. So pay me so I can leave!

P.S. I’m making wine, so that’s a good start I guess.

You lack discipline.

“So I’m going mentally insane…”

Truly?

RU, you need to eat, supplement your diet with going to churches or such that feed the hungry. Some have pantries that will give you food to cook and other serve meals. Do not let pride make you ill. You are under pressure and stress. This affects our physical body. You need to keep it fed during such times. Hang in there, we all lose control from time to time.

Why can’t you afford food for a couple of weeks…? If it’s not a dumb question…?

On the contrary, things are finally starting to make sense around here.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Okay that actually made me laugh out loud.

(Sorry RU! :wink:)

What do you mean?

RealUnoriginal being insane would explain much. That is, with this additional information, previous events follow more logically, are more easily understood.

Joke. It was a joke.

I see.

I lack Everything.

Truly.

I need whichever drugs makes people stop thinking, but I despise medication.

I think that’s the only thing that’s ever made me ill.

My bank account reads $0.00 and I am waiting for some paychecks.

Find someone more sane than you and take their advice seriously?

:sunglasses: Yea your pride can do that to people not just you. :-" :-" :-" :laughing: Ok that was part of what I am returning in gratitude O:) :smiley:

What? You mean, learn something?

Out of the question.

Me too. For about the last twelve years. It is called “night terror,” or is atleast a closely related disorder. I believe it has to do with the ego losing control as the mind gives up consciousness and the dread which lies just below the surface (for philosophers especially) comes welling up. I sit up in bed, gasp, the terror disipates; the horror may or may not be accompanied by a vision. You can read up here,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_terror

It can be treated with minor-tranquilizers, but inlight of the philosophical value of the visions that often accompany the terror, I would suggest not taking pharmacuticals to stop it.

You’ve been helpful Maquis.

I had a concept of what it is, but not fully. You’re right though. It is when my ego gives up control over my consciousness that does this harm to me.

It is like accepting death, a feeling which I have felt before.

hearing things like this piss me off because some therapy actually helps people, and its not covered by health care!

i would have recommended seeing a …

ok, do you have any self control? how are you doing lately?

Smoke a joint… you won’t recall your dreams an you’ll easily be able to to relax your mind…

and how much does one ‘J’ cost!?

about 4 dollars… it can “relax” you for about 5 hours…
