Does anyone else wish for that final push to drive you completely insane?

I just want that one straw to break my back, to completely destroy my psyche and ruin what little sanity I have left. I want an excuse to completely give up, something that will make everyone who knows me look at me and go "Well, after all he's been through, we can't really blame him for snapping like he did". I want to escape into my own fantasy world, giggling and screaming like a madman, while the rest of society continues to live in their deluded little worlds, dictated by corrupt men of power who tell them what'll make them happy. I just want to lose my mind already and put it where no one can find it ever again.

 No.1770

All the time.

I have OCD and my biggest obsession revolves around killing someone and eating them. It's like a dam and sometimes the pressure and guilt become so much that I just want it to end. One way or another.

Most of the time it feels like I'm just waiting to die or ruin an innocent person's life.

 No.1774

I have these thoughts sometimes too. I just want an excuse to go nuts, get sent to a funny farm, and live out the rest of my days there.

When you go crazy, there's people who are paid to do nothing but keep you company and help you with your problems. No one even gives enough of a fuck about me to ask how I'm doing, but as soon as I'm depressed enough for people around me to tell, I get instant sympathy.

 No.1852

Oh god, yes. I really, really just want to burn things. Literally. I want to burn buildings. It's all I want to do anymore.

The last time I burned things, I was grinning with pleasure. I need to step up my game.

It's not worth it. I did this and you just get sent to a mental hospital till you're on meds and stable. Then when you get out you constantly have to feel guilty and crazy around people that know what happened like family.

 No.1967

Yes. I can't give a fuck any more. I just sit on my ass and play vidya all day long. The worst part is that I can see exactly where this will end up, but I simply can't motivate myself to get my shit together. I'm tired of being lucid.

I just wish I would. I have this thoughts that are almost invasive in my mind of fucking murdering people. I'd love it even more to do it in front of others. I just want to snap, to go insane. To have a reason to follow through with these wicked thoughts in my head. I don't know what's wrong with me but there's obviously something.

 No.2051

I struggle with BPD and sperg (No really it's possible I guess) and I wish for it every day. I could finally snap, enter my state of emotional turmoil 5ever, and either get drugged up to where I don't know who I am, or off myself.

Don't know why but I want either of those situations. Life makes me take on too many responsibilities I can't handle.

 No.2068

I don't know about you but my time in a mental hospital was some of the most peaceful days I ever had. No worries about the outside world and something to do every hour. I didn't like sharing a room because my roommate kept waking up to say he heard voices; finally he admitted "Guess I do belong in here after all."

Even after a psychotic break, you'll still have to leave the hospital, come home and face all the people you fucked over. Understand that those thoughts are just that, thoughts. You might want to eat a Big mac everyday but you don't because it isn't healthy for you.

No. Been there, done that, don't want to go back.

I went insane a few years back. Anger, depression, lashing out at people, the lot. And a few years before that again. Nearly killed myself, decided against it at the last minute, then went home and blocked everyone I was sick of on IMs.
Therapy kinda helped with that.

Mostly, I just want to be NOT depressed. Not angry, not insane.
I don't want to be normal, but I want to be myself again. Happy, like I used to be. Part of something, going somewhere, with a future.

Gaming helps a LOT with destructive urges. And my urge to build and create, as well.
Hell, the other day I FINALLY organised my bookmark folders. Now I can find things easier!

I envy the people who break completely. Some of them recover, I know few who did.
I envy them because they get to experience something different, often times it seems like that they live in their own world for a while, with their own rules untill they do something stupid and get treated.

I once nearly broke, almost completely. Thinking back on it, I was actually kind of happy. I was so miserable that I ended up finding positives in it. It made me see a psychiatrist and all that shit, but during that time I did not care if I died doing what I did, I just lived my life for a month like every day would be my last. I dropped out of college, I started drinking ocasionally, controllably so, but still. I started self harming, going out at night to walk on bridge railings and climb high places, I pissed off people that I hated, I told them to fuck off, told them to go kill themselves as they are such annoying pieces of shit that everyone secretly just wants to murder them. I met new fun people online, played plenty of games and saw new exciting movies, I would stay up for a few days at a time and fall asleep on my chair, I'd eat whatever I wanted, I'd ocasionally just lay on the floor and stab tiny holes in my thighs and roll around in the blood, I had fun. Untill my landlord opened the door one night when I was making noise and just said "what the fuck, wait right here, I'll be back in a bit" and then he came back with the police.
Anywho, it was fun. But I didnt break completely, atleast I dont think I did. I miss that feeling.

Im happy that I have such a fun little shit inside me, too bad that poor thing is being held back by meds and decent lifestyle choices. Im such a tease.

Sometimes when someone is getting shitty with me I'm hoping they do something that justifies me kicking the shit out of them. That's about it.


 No.9574

Heh, this. Every day i wish someone would say some shit to me, or do something that would justify me punching them in the face and stepping on their throats untill they cough up blood and die. But, no one does that.

When i log in to online communities, i pray someone will say something so autistic that i can just rant at them to my hearts content, but no one does that.

I mean, people do retarded shit to others all the time, i guess they just sense the crazy coming off me.

 No.9583

Yeah, and the fact that it might not, that I might actually have to live a life, that my life is just going to continue getting invariably worse as opposed to reaching any semblance of a plateau just makes everything so much harder.

>mfw this would probably happen one day here at home

I've threatened my parents numerous times with knives or anything else that's sharp or heavy and blunt (my Toughbook for example), but never really hit them, I guess it will happen soon.

Not that I give a shit about my parents anymore, the last 6-7 years they haven't got me any results.

They were really fucking disorganised, and huge-ass folders of misc junk.

I'm slowly working through all my files, tossing them into appropriate folders, sorting and deleting things, etc.

Next up is my bedroom. I'm prepping for a music festival in a few weeks, so I'm slowly becoming buried in Useful Stuff as I chew through my shopping list.

But the storage crates arrived the other day, so I can start sorting things into them.

I always have the thought of self inducing amphetamine psychosis in myself. I love speed and I have enough control to not use it that often, but what if I did? What if I just went 'fuck it' and bought a shit ton of it and went to town until my mind is mush? What now, world?

I wish I could make myself really really stupid, so much that I'd be so fucked in the head I'd be happy all the time. All I'd need is food and a toy train or something and I will be satisfied in life forever.


 No.10429

Yes. I would have lost it long ago but I have a wife and children now and I keep it together for them, but everything in my life right now is just too much. The love for my family outweighs the pain, but the scales are balanced close and I'm not sure when the scales will tip the other way.

If I still prayed, this is the one thing I would pray for. The feeling on being on the edge for so long, the break would be the ultimate selfish mercy. Immediately after comes suicide, but the break, it will be sweet.

>>9593

I know this resignation, I've been there. I couldn't do it in the end, had to kill myself instead. Luckily I was pussyfooted and lived to find a therapist and an accurate diagnosis of harm, purely obsessive OCD and find out that there's a life beyond that desire for it to end and the life is sweeter.

I still feel like it will happen some day but for now I have patience and general peace.

>>9608

I second this and also think you should move out of your parent's place asap. Removing the main obsession makes the turn around so much easier than trying to fight through it.

I got kicked out for trying to kill myself and threatening to murder my father. If I had stayed, I would have tried again.

>>9625

I've tried that, substituting someone else for the person I was fixating on, it does not work and I got blackout drunk instead of following through with the plan because I couldn't do it.

Even so, the break is still appealing sometimes.

Schizoaffective here. I had one episode where I had a bunch of vivid dreams going from one to the other. Many of them involved being in a mental hospital interestingly enough. When I woke up it half felt like it was another dream. I really enjoyed the dreams. It was like fucking drugs man. So I decided I wanted what half felt like real life to be a dream too and I started acting like it was. I ended up in hospital. Then I decided to troll everyone by saying that I am a messenger bringing a new system of logic to the world where contradictions are allowed. That shit was fucking awesome! It felt so good. I started getting really into it and I talked loudly to myself about it in my room. I wish that could happen again. It was so amazing just not giving a single fuck about the miserable mess that is my life. I dropped out of school for the third time this month, I think I'm in a pre-episode. I just hope it will last for a long time this time, the first one was just a week.

I saw everything as a big joke. That was my second episode, was just a couple of months ago. It's what got me the diagnosis. Sometimes I think nothing was wrong and I was just pretending, but I think it's more like I just went along with what I felt.

I've been there anon. This state of mind is our redemption. You can actually function in society like that as long as you keep it on the down low. You'll have to learn mental discipline though to make sure your mind goes where you want it to instead of becoming a slave to psychosis..

Histrionic personality disorder would be a fun way to lose it. You would slide from being a dramatic manipulative slut to being a sociopath or something.
