as a person with bipolar and borderline disorder, plus anxiety and panic syndrome, i suffered A LOT growing up (still do). And although i sometimes question myself why this happened to me, i realized i wouldnt be the person that i am today if it wasnt for that. I feel like mental disorders makes you much smarter than 'normal' people, i feel like we grow up much faster. And i wonder if im actually not insane, just someone who can see beyond others and absorb energy unlike others.

What if we are not insane? But society makes us insane to prevent us from changing things? As i realized all of the people that go through mental problems, are all much intelligent with similar point of views. What if society makes us as the insane ones just so we can fit in their robotic world and be alienated?

With that said, i dont work without my medications so living without them is a big no, but for a while i did stop my medication and was living in a very comfortable environment so i had no problems whatsoever. I stayed that for 2 months and was actually happy and things never seemed so bright and clearer. Which makes me think, what if we have the mental problems just because we are souls and energy beings, and we just absorb our surroundings differently? im new here so sorry if this isnt new threat worth it, i just want to know what you all think about it.

I think you might want to check out fringe regarding the energy beings thing and personally I could disagree with you on that one but I wouldn't know anything about the topic in the first place either.

I think mentally ill people are alienated from society because they are just mentally ill and vice versa. Being alienated from society causes people to focus on other things than being social and after all, it has been proven that introverted people are more intelligent than extroverted people.

But if you ever saw mentally ill people you would see that simply being mentally ill doesn't mean you are intelligent but it could even be the opposite, I guess it depends on the type of illness too.
