How do you know when you've lost your sanity?

When you start losing arguements with inanimate objects. :)

Once there was a community that had a single well as it water source. One night a witch came and placed something in the well that caused people to lose their sanity when they drank from it. The King and the Prime Minister saw the witch and so did not drink from the well. All of the townspeople drank from the well. Not long after that, there was a meeting, for the townspeople all agreed that the King and Prime Minister had gone insane, and they wondered if they should be replaced. So the king and prime Minister drank from the well. Soon after all the townspeople held a big celebration, for the king and prime minister had regained their sanity.

you want some help. the actual reality you recognize the indicators of your melancholy is giant yet because of the chemical complications understanding those wont make it any a lot less puzzling to strive against & beat it this time round. See your well being practitioner and talk over with them about getting some help - be it with the help of drugs or counselling or in spite of avenues are available on your section. As someone who has been combating melancholy on account that i develop right into a baby and who has been medicated on and stale for 5 years, I completely understand your feeling like your in an excellent hollow without way out. Pay no interest to those who mock and snigger at your previous struggles - until eventually you've been there you actually haven't any clue. in case you've suffered and overwhelmed this earlier you could and could back.

How can you be sure you haven't? Mental Illiness means that your cognitive abilites are impaired in some way. Your thinking is wrong. How can you know for sure when your thinking is wrong? It's like this Zen phrase I heard once: "The eye that sees can never see itself. The blade that cuts can never cut itself."

Then again,, The tinfoil hat might be a clue.

I think that by the time your sanity is totally gone, you're so insane you don't even know it :]

If you think you're insane, you're not insane.

Only the truly insane think they aren't insane. They think they're perfectly sane, and that killing people with pencils is perfectly normal. Most insane people seem to enjoy being insane without even knowing it. Maybe it's not so bad...

When you start to yell at the stupid commercials on TV.

Or, when you start to argue with the TV even when it's turned off about wether you're sane or not...

when I begin to count the ceiling tiles in the storage room as a form of entertainment.

When you start to agree with Bill O Riley.

When you can look at the wall and find it amazingly amusing that it has paterns. Hahah I do that alot!
