Crazy

in blog •  7 years ago 

What is crazy? How do you define someone as crazy? I know we throw the word around a lot. For example, friend gets into a car dunk and you say “they are crazy to be driving like that”. It is a major generalization right?

What if someone is depressed? Does that make them crazy? What if someone posts photos on Facebook of a bleeding wrist? Does that make them crazy? What if someone is bipolar? Does that make them crazy? What if someone has episodes of schizophrenia due to triggers from childhood trauma? Does that make them crazy? What if someone attempts suicide? Does that make them crazy?

I am very curious how the world defines “craziness”. I have my own definition. I used to work in mental institutions for awhile as a psychiatric technician. I've tried committing suicide and even attempted it myself on more than one occasion. Am i crazy?

So the big question is. What is crazy?

I don't know how to be normal around people :D

Crazy people living how they want, more freedom you have-more crazy you are ;)

I don't think it's crazy. Suicide is a very complex issue. I lost my mother to suicide. I have spent many hours thinking about her death and putting it in the right place. My mother was far from crazy. She was self-destructive, and that is a whole different topic. Crazy means you're never in your right mind once you get there, crazy is out of control. Mental illness takes many shapes and some people go in and out of their mental disabilities. Some recover completely and some never do. The desire to live must outweigh the desire to escape. Our circumstances are never as bad as they appear when we are in a depressive state. I hope to never reach the point of crazy enough not to know who I am.

Thank you @wandrnrose7 that was explained very well. Sorry to hear about your mom.

Thank you for reading... and thank you for understanding. I actually like the light-hearted response of @trhomasz0882, too!

crazy is someone who's not in himself and can't decide rationally 😁

I think what is deviation from normal human behaviour are considered as crazy. You stay within limit, you are not crazy. Go beyond it, you are crazy one.

Haha. You bet, @hafiz34 !!

There are many levels of crazy, and it takes on different forms. Some just act more erratic and others are having mental illness. I think the best thing for us is to be gentle and patience when we don't understand..

That explains it all. Thank you @icybc !

I know full well that I am crazy especially if it's full moon lol! :-D

How cool is that? lol
