Psychotic Break
#10
RE: Psychotic Break
Dotard,

Psychotic people are amusing! I speak to homeless people sometimes just for the interesting stories they tell about angels giving them machine guns to kill mobsters, or they explain they are a rug and want you to walk on parts of themselves they have spread around them (carpet samples mostly).

Tackattack,

There was no moment. Losing one's mind is a process not an event. My story is too personal to really get into too much detail, but I could tell you some of the contributing factors. Girlfriend cheating on me, rampant drug use (meth, LSD, pot, booze, nitrous oxide), parties at all times of the night (sleep deprivation is a bitch!), parents turning their back on me, brother turning his back on me, basically just life stressors building up in a really short time. I was a Christian of sorts at the time and was trying to figure out how all those things could fit into my walk with god. lol Smile

I think the trick to stay sane is to just pay attention to what is going on and if you don't like the way things are going, change what you are doing.

Rhizo
