| Hello, my name is Joachim. You may remember me from such classic threads as "My heart hurts..." and "(insert some random Castlevania or Snatcher pride thread)"...
I have no clue where this should go, but I think it suits "Officer's Club" since I see it as a possible problem. WARNING: This thread may contain stuff and mental images that may appear disturbing to you, and could probably fuel you to call the mental hospitals on me! 
Anyway, I've been rather disturbed of myself lately... I've went through some troubles and crap and got depressed. I decided to evaluate crap I've done in the past to see where I have "flaws" I can work on. I'm lonely a lot (stuck at home alone, friends are usually busy, mom is always working...). Right away I start noticing, I have some disturbing habits. First of all... I have a strange fascination for blood. Not just anybody's blood, MY blood. No, I DON'T cut myself, but whenever I bleed from some random accident, it just fascinates me... I sometimes smear it on my hands and look at it, then realize I'm being stupid and wash it off. Secondly, sometimes I like to pretend I'm someone else when I'm alone... seriously. Now let's recap here, I'm almost SEVENTEEN years old... this is what children do! Or am I mistaken? Thirdly (has no relation to title, but noteworthy)... I think I have seperation anxiety. Whenever I'm home alone, I become paranoid, when I'm hanging out with friends and they leave, I get down and paranoid... and also, I seem to have developed an unhealthy obessession with my ex-girlfriend in the past (it's died down now, but I felt it was noteworthy). Nextly, I find myself TALKING to myself... I mean I guess it's a result of being lonely, but I've been known to talk to myself when I'm angry, I've even yelled at myself. 
Lastly, I find it enjoying to cry. For some reason I get some kind of druggish rush that makes me feel good. Of course I do it ALONE... I mean, I got a lot of problems so it isn't that hard to cry, but when I do, it just feels SO GOOD. I get this jittery rush that's all like... HELLO! WEE! 
I have a feeling a lot of these things are normal, but I'm rather uneducated on the world, so I don't think I'd really know. YOU BE THE JUDGE, am I insane, or just friggin' bored out of my mind? |

| I think most of those things tie in together with the anxiety. Crying, talking to yourself, pretending you're someone else... they sound like simple things that someone with an anxiety or disorder would do to find comfort.
As for the blood... I have no idea.
I don't think you're insane, none of those things seem too extreme. Don't worry dude. |

| You asked me to be honest and I will give you my honest opinion. You are.....insane. Not terribly insane, everyone is somewhat insane your just a tad bit more insane then what I would consider normal insanity. This insanity of yours seems to stem entirely from lonliness. Key examples....Paranoia when alone (obvious), Depression when friends leave (you seem to just really not like being alone), Talking to yourself (because theres no one else around).
As for the blood, thats a tad bit creepy. I mean sure it can be interesting, but smearing it is taking things a little too far. You might wanna stop doing that. Pretending to be other people, yes thats for kids and also pretty insane. I will not deny that it can be both fun and hilarious though. Its not too much of a problem, unless you really start taking it serious. You also obviously get bored extremly easy. I suggest next time your alone instead of pretending to be Napoleon or Having a debate with yourself, you maybe play a video game, Watch some Tv, or anything else that will occupy your mind. In conclusion, you are crazy. Its ok though, you will be alright.  |

| Yeah I know the blood thing is weird, but I think I explained the "pretend to be other people" thing too exaggeratedly... I mean it's not like I'll sit there and pretend to be someone and do shit, I mean said sometimes I like to pretend I'm someone else in my mind. Usually consists of me pretending I'm a character myself when I play a video game. Like I said, it's all in my mind, I don't talk out loud or anything. xD (edited by Joachim on 02-11-06 12:19 PM) |

| Oh, please; everyone loves blood. I find the taste lovely, actually (actually had a craving for it about a month ago ). As for the multiple personalities, I have that, too (I have an excuse; I'm bipolar). Maybe you are anxious, maybe a bit bipolar, who knows. It's really not that uncommon for nay of those symptoms. |

Originally posted by Clockworkz You beat me too it. Although I know everyone doesn't like it, but I do at least. (And as a side note, being bipolar has nothing to do with multiple personalities).
Honestly, you're completely normal. Everyone has random weird stuff like that, and yours really isn't weird to begin with, so don't worry about it  (edited by HighSorceressDelial on 02-11-06 06:33 PM) |

| Yeah, blood tastes good. Like when I get a cut. Seriously.
I think I know what you mean with the pretending to be someone else. Like in your head you create scenario's.. like what you would do if you were that person. I think everyone does that. I think. I do that sometimes like before I sleep. But most of the time I think of what I'd say to any person at the time.. like the things you want to say to people but never actually do it cause it'd cause more harm than good. Yeah. My diagnosis? You're perfectly normal. As long as you can separate fantasy from reality.. you're good. |

| I don't know if I should find comfort in the fact that I know someone else who thinks outloud or not...because yeah, I have a tendency to think out loud. I do so because I really don't like silience. Music helps sometimes, but I don't know, I tend to think better when I voice my thoughts rather than just stay mum and stare at some random blot on the wall...
I too sometimes wonder what I'd do if I had some ability or if I'm in a situation, but the blood thing is something that is just you. So, given what other people have said, I think you are alright if these are things you do by yourself (when you have "me" time). But if this happens when you are in public, then maybe something is up... |

| Yeah I think you're fine all those......habits of yours seem to just beyour own bodys wa to fix a certain problem in this case simple lonlyness the talking to yourself and pretending to be someone else makes perfect sense (your mind creating the illusion of a friend of yours or something close by). The cry thing thats probably just a...whats the word....change for you a time for your body to feel free. Lastly the blood part as long as you're not hurting yourself it seems fine I (to an extent) have the same feeling watching a small line of blood drip down m leg or something for whatever reason looks cool. All in all you seem normal to me maybe even just going through a tough time but as long as this doesn't get to be execivly bad (If you start doing something like keeping yourself away from sunlight untill your skin turns pale and slicing your wrist with a knife while pretending to be President Clinton then I can't help you) but right now you seem normal to me. | |||

Originally posted by Joachim Strange... I used to have an odd obsession with body oils like the ones that come out of pimples. That was a strange time. Seriously, I think that your body is trying to tell you something. Don't know what it is since that's up to you to decide. Originally posted by Joachim Yeah... my brother is like 19 and still does that. I do that alone and sometimes in public. I'm 14, but it's still the same sort of thing. Dunno, I find it fascinating and I bet a lot of other people do to. Originally posted by Joachim The exact same thing for me. Even when there are people that I know around me, I'll get paranoid and sometimes scared as hell. I mean I can get really paranoid. If you're hiding behind a garbage can while I get paranoid and I'm walking around and see you, don't expect to see tomorrow. It's just the impulse I get. Paranoia is really common in a lot of people since there is so much crisis in the world. That's probably not something to worry about. Originally posted by Joachim Well, lesse. I sometimes will talk to myself and more commonly yell or bitch to myself which is really odd. Now I get really hyper sometimes, or not even be hyper and I'll make loud random annoying noises or other random crap. Normally I'm alone when I do this. That's just something strange. Now talking to yourself can be normal. As long as you don't look like your high or drunk when you do so. Originally posted by Joachim Crying can be caused by two major things: Depression and, I've learned this from experience and many other ways, lack of sleep. If you don't get enough sleep that night, you will cry over the stupidest shit ever. One time when I didn't get enough sleep I got pissed because it was my birthday and I turned 13. Another time was during a party. I was having such a great time but I was so tired I just started to cry. I kept it very hidden though. Just take a nice loooooooooooong sleep to see what happens. If it doesn't go away, you could have depression. Originally posted by Joachim Most of those things are normal, even for the blood. Everyone has their own obsessions, some really odd. Really, most of those, maybe all of those things are not a result of anxiety or depression. A lot of those things are common in a lot of people. Now the blood thing is a little disturbing, well, at first it was, but it'll pass(hopefully). Normally obsessions come in phases. One day you'll be obsessed with blood and the next you could be obsessed with *insert something here*. Now if you start having mood swings or any other strange symptons, not like the ones above really, but worse, you may have something wrong with you. If all of these things came on all at one time, then yes, you have some sort of mental problem. Talk to a doctor or guidance counselor about it just to see what they say. If they say these things are normal, then you're fine. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. You should be fine. |
