[WrongPlaceWrongTime]

I would be joking, but someone once apparently shot their mental illness while leaving the rest of their brain intact.

I will ask john wick to shoot my depression with 1911. Lmao

Literally mind blowing

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

Since I've read an article about a guy accidentally gaining photographic memory after being hit in the head with a baseball I frequently daydream about being smacked in the head and waking up as a zen master.

I've heard similar things but more a kind a lobotomy by accident.

I often fantasize about having ECT for my depression. Not just resetting my brain. Waking up with complete amnesia so I can become someone else. Someone happy, not suicidal and depressed. But I guess, that's just wishful thinking.
