Does everybody have every mental disorder...

Post Reply New Topic

Somewhere in there mind as a means of survival?

I mean like I was really paranoid today to the point of insanity after looking at this site
spokeo.com

I was walking down the street with plenty of anxiety and I started thinking everybody was against me. and that they were aliens.
I never have these thoughts ever.
The more I read about mental disorders, at one point in my life I have have had mania, depression, the list goes on.
Are mental disorders just a reaction of what you think is going on?

No?

I didn't get the question, elaborate a little?

Yes. Everybody will have something foreign in their thinking depending on who they are talking too.

I'm sure the natives of Papua New Guinea think we are all off our rockers about that santa claus guy...

Perspective. It all comes down to perspective.

I edited my first post.

Hmm, to me it sounds like psychosis and/or the "typical" aspie me-against-the-world mentality, but have no fear, the aliens you see on the street are also the same aliens as yourself, so i se little reason to think like that about them.

Well that changes things a bit. I've had a few times where my anxiety spiralled out of my control a bit. I was extremely paranoid about silly things. The latest - the movie "The Fourth Kind". Actual alien invasion scares the beejeezus out of me. i end up with nightmares and such bad anxiety at bedtime that i can't sleep. I've thankfully been able to talk myself down from these before they got to be debilitating. If you can't, definitely find some help for them.

It doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while.

Only when I saw that site.

I don't think so.

I recently had a break from reality and was diagnosed with temporal neurotypical disorder.

sorry could'nt resist
