How Many Of You Consider Yourself Crazy?
Since my hiv diagnosis I have been thinking a lot about sanity, mental health, mental illnesses, syndromes and diagnosises . All of this has been the running theme in my life since I got hiv, started therapy and testing mental meds, unsuccessfully, so far… In short , I really do think I’m crazy. It’s that simple . I’m not full on bonkers but I feel like there are a handful of wires up there that are definitely not screwed on right and can’t be “fixed” . I don’t even see that as a curse… read more
I'm not crazy. I'm bat sh!t crazy with a little psycho added in.
There is a difference between mental illness (anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia...) which we medicate in order to treat, and a personality disorder (antisocial, borderline, paranoid, narcissistic..,). The difference is that people with mental illness experience it as problematic. Those with a personality disorder generally do not. So, Trump's narcissistic personality disorder is not distressful to him, just to everyone else.🤠
If you call crazy as being funny,not caring about what people say or think ,being sarcastic and obnoxious then I’m 100% crazy lol if this disease taught me anything it’s live life to the fullest
Another way to look at it is does your disorder keep you from functioning... like getting out of bed, maintaining a job, managing your finances, eating rationally, sleeping, paying attention...
Or, does your disorder largely affect your relationships with other people (suspicious, selfish, all or nothing, willing to harm others, unable to recognize how others may be feeling, unable to connect on any level...
Of course, there are behaviors from the two sets of disorders that overlap. The difference is that in the first group, the specific behavior is the problem. In the second group, the behavior is only one aspect of the disorder. Medication to correct the problem in the first group, fails to correct the associated behaviors in the second group.
I think you have invented a new category @A myHIVteam Member. Crazy Bat Sh*t Psycho!👍❤️
