It can be a serious post or a not so serious post, it's up to you

I think insanity for me, is becoming everything I tried not to be.

To be honest, that's a good answer. I feel like that's happening to me now.

Not to be cliche, but this song is incredibly true lyric wise

Spoiler

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Spoiler

YES DAS I KNOW, ITS A CASTING CROWNS SONG

This is my fear regarding old age, Alzhiemers and Dementia, etc.

They don't seem to realise what's going on, and in my (insane) mind I could justify something internally that to a sane person would be ludicrous.

Same way paranoid people wear tinfoil hats and live in the middle of nowhere and extremely depressed people commit suicide, in their minds it's all rational. How the fuck would I know I've gone insane?

If I ever went insane I could go all Shutter Island on it and have it all make sense.

My mom works with the elderly, dementia and alzheimers is terrible. Thinking they are in their front yard, and that I'm their grandson playing in the yard,

I was afraid multiple people would point this out ( ._.) it's kind of the answer that would apply to most people

My grandfather had dementia, and I think my dad's starting to show symptoms now.

I'll probably get it

That fucking sucks man.

I heard peanuts, fish and doing sudoku helps delay/lower the risk of it. My mum's paranoid about it despite it not running in the family.

whenever i lost sleep for weeks for wanting to stab someone to death.

Risay117 · August 03, 2015, 09:19:04 PM

I will not know when I do become insane, but maybe something really noticeable or when I start taking some time off to self reflect on my previous life and actions.

Also not sure what you mean by insane.

Ingy · August 03, 2015, 09:38:37 PM

When you don't want to be sane again

Isn't that a catch 22? Like, an insane person wouldn't know they were insane, and if a person said they were insane, then they must be sane because an insane person wouldn't know they were insane.

TB · August 03, 2015, 09:52:03 PM

Impossible.

Guille Soromasio · August 03, 2015, 11:50:42 PM

I'd acknowledge insanity after I realized I lost consciousness of my actions and did drastic things.

Partly insane... reasonably insane. I don't know. But I know it isn't black and white, insane or sane. It's possible for a person to see the difference between what their psychotic thoughts suggest as real, and, uh... 'practicable reality', as it were.

When you do things per and over again expecting to get a different result everytime. Like telling people te definition of insanity or trying to kill Jason brody

When I'm balls deep in a woman made from my own feces, I think it's time to acknowledge I have a problem.
