Mental Illness (Mental Wellness)

TheSailingTeacup, are you really alone though? surely you have some friends and/or family that can help when things get bad?

@Laughingman flaunting your fluency in biology, I see I see...anyway besides the medical aspect of it all I believe that it is very important not to obsess about it because it is very important to understand that every individual is unique. Stuff like "not fitting in" is very common and its just that you are not their cup of tea. Stuff like feeling sad can be influenced by the entertainment you are accessing(like some of the extremely dark mangas there are). Do not access the internet to seek a diagnose from internet forms, it will only cause you more distress over maybe perhaps nothing. Listen to good music(good being relative to the person) and sleep a lot. Do not drink too much coffee and excercise to make up for the 'energy deficiency' you feel from abstaining from caffeine. Talking to oneself is not wrong, its just a coping mechanism to be lonely. Man is a social animal, the moral wrongs and rights are determined by a society at whole which in turn makes you who you are, you need to realise that a big part of mental wellness is not ruling yourself out as mentally ill. I apologise I wrote so much cause this topic hits too close to home. In our era kindess and respect is very difficult to get without condition and I really hope this post helps someone.

It is not always the medical illness that affects our mental health but the corresponding surrounding that inhibits us and the distress of coping with various situations.

You sound so much like a good friend of mine who's schizophrenic and I don't mean that in a bad way. He's a very interesting dude and VERY passionate about his beliefs.

You'd honestly probably get along with him. He's very high energy, he's a DJ and just a passionate person. Just some of the stuff or rather, the way you say something's on here, it reminded me of him.
