Does it bother you when people call you crazy?

[Fade2Blk0809]

I've been suicidal for a long time. I try to hide it the best I can, but it comes out sometimes in my darker personality (I'm naturally drawn to sad songs, horror movies, themes of death, etc) and some of the things I accidentally say. I try so hard but it's like I can't be normal no matter what I do. I'm just too weird.

It bothers me that suicidal people are automatically labeled as "crazy" and instead of compassion and understanding I am always met with scorn and disgust. Like how dare I be depressed. Maybe if people were kinder to me I would be less depressed. Don't they realize that they're just making the problem worse? And is there anyone else out there like me?

 

[Crow_88]

I dunno. I am kinda crazy. It still bothers me. But deep down I know there is something very wrong with me. Like compared to the normal functional person I am definitely a little out there. Though, it doesn't make my choices any less valid.

Well, when I start talking about satan and demons tormenting me. People call me schizophrenic or crazy.

 

[Halfhourdays]

I have a mental illness, so not really. I'm used to it.

 

[Freebandzgang]

It makes me sad when people dont understand suicide and suicidal ideation. They assume something is wrong with you because you want to die. It really hurts

Yeah. Exactly.

Real questions, do you talk to them directly or is it just a presence you feel? I guess the question is: How do you experience satan/demons? What happens?

 

[aiyuxhan]

Yeah, because I feel like I,m not crazy. I was just dealt a bad hand in life.

Sometimes it bothers me as its not my fault. Other times I embrace it. Everyone is crazy though just some of us more than others.

 

[mikgazer6]

From my experience most cases of calling someone crazy just translates to "I don't and don't care to understand"

 

[Silently Dying]

I'm at a point in life where I don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks of me. Opinions are like assholes - everyone has one.

 

[allmylife]

Sometimes, it depends on the day. In some ways I am crazy and perhaps I should just embrace it.

 

[NitrogenAfternoon]

... I kind of like it tbh. LOL

 

[Namelesa]

My sister often calls me insane for some of the ways I think but I find it more funny most of the time. Tho if I was in intense mental pain at those moments I would definitely be upset by it. Some members here even think I am insane with some of my views which does bother me somewhat but maybe they are correct and I am actually insane? hehehe

Personally I think people that call us suicidal people insane are the insane ones for not even thinking of suicide at least once a day. Like I understand some liking life and sticking with it but I literally don't know how some people can get through it without thinking or considering of suicide. To me thinking of suicide is a rational response to a painful life, especially as I would say death isn't a bad thing at all.

It does, like i know i have an illness but at the same time when i get called that it feels like my whole existence is being shortened to "some crazy person", like it just completely invalidates the fact that im a human and im the way that i am cause of other humans, especially being a girl too the easiest way someone can get away with the awful shit they've done to you is to just call you crazy and move on lol

I gave them rights to my mind, body and soul. I can feel their presence in my soul and mind.

 

[NonEssential]

I haven't been acknowledged by other people enough to have them label me as crazy.

 

[pauly369]

People are mostly stupid and selfish so I dont expect them to have the intelligence to understand or empathize with mental illness.

 

[user671]

Absolutely. I have bad health issues that might disable me over time, destroy my dreams and impact my quality of life pretty badly. And still... people think I'm crazy for wanting to die!
I completely understand you when you said "How dare I be depressed", like do these people expect us to be happy and hopping around in the face of serious, unsolvable problems?
It's so annoying.

 

[FuneralCry]

It doesn't make any sense to me when people say that as after all death is all that's inevitable, I don't see how it could be crazy wanting death when we're all just going to die anyway, all will be gone and forgotten in non-existence someday which is the only relief for me, there are no disadvantages to being permanently unconscious yet there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel in this futile, torturous existence I personally always saw as a mistake in the first place and no matter what I'd prefer to not exist. In this existence where there's all this cruelty and suffering non-existence really is all that's positive for me and is all I see as desirable and hope for, I just want to never exist ever again and I find it horrific how a human can suffer for so long just to be tortured in agony by old age, I'd always prefer the peace of an eternal sleep over the cruelty and torture of existence, non-existence would solve everything for me and is the only relief for me

Tell them to come for me <3

Boy THAT'S the truth if I ever saw it!

And to answer the question No it does not. I wear my labels proudly.

 

[saturn1402]

It hurts so much when people call me crazy…. It makes me feel unheard, invalidated, and like no matter how much I try to explain, I'll always just be best case scenario pitied or dismissed or worst case mocked. Just because my pain is invisible doesn't mean it isn't real. No one would dare call someone crazy for being in physical pain, but for some reason, mental pain is just something to hide or you'll just be labelled as crazy

 

[grungy自殺]

Sometimes it does

But ever since i've joined here in this site i've completely disregarded any reason for me to seriously be upset if someone calls me crazy, because i would know right away they don't have the same world view as me when i'm on these thoughts that i have and literally it would not matter if i were to go through the plan that i've attended. their opinion would cease to exist to me because i'm not here anymore and literally human beings aren't bound to have every same intellect as every other person that is able to read the room and be also prescribed with meds that would supress the very feelings that are making them or rather labeing them as so called "crazy"

Why should you have to explain yourself for being you. Anyone judging or mocking you is probably boring af, so don't give them the power to cause you any more emotional pain than you're already in. Fuck normal people, wear your crazy proudly

 

[steveholt]

Not in anyway shape or form... calling me crazy is pretty much a compliment some days ... and ive been called many things and i do tend to have a reply to them....is alberts answer

" the definition of insantiy doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"

I see that in many ways from my physics brain... or from my sociology brain but also from my life .. getting up going to work monday to friday 9 to 5.. leaves 2 days to live.. all to work your ass of to in to the ground and to pay every panny to tax. so you get a spare few quid to find happines for a day.. then kids come along you watch them grow spend tons of cash on dance lessons or music lesson and then your perpetualy gonna be in debt for the rest of your life

Basically you live and work all your life so you can afford to pay for a funeral....

Thats the definition of crazy...

Two thing true in life death and taxes

 

[FoxSauce]

Depends on the situation

I've never been called : "Your crazy" outright but theres people that undermine people's battles.

I've experienced this, except of listening and being understanding they throw solutions my way or telling me to be positive and everything will work out

No, being positive and just sweeping under the rug won't do anything and just being positive is awful to say.

So far I've been with people that understand and try to be supportive.

Is hard to live with a mental illness as it is

People like that need just someone to listen and have a hug.
