Don't you get the felling that C has been telling these jokes at cocktail parties for the past 30 years?

Does stupidity count? I suffer from crippling bouts of it several times a day.

I wonder if all smart people have a mental disorder of some kind. :down
 
Used to suffer from depression during my kidney transplant, but that hasn't been a problem for years. Only mental illness I have is panic/anxiety. My medication keeps it pretty well under-control though.

no, not cocktail parties.
tailgate parties, backyard barbecues

Any party in the 70's where they would show chest hair.

I believe that some ailments are genetic but also that mental distortions are the result when an intelligent person is confronted with his own mortality, insignificance and the deplorable state of our planet, a state the person is powerless to change in any major way.

I'm envious of people who are dumb and happy and there's no arrogance involved because you can have a metric ton of intelligence, but feel cursed with your inability to harness it in useful ways, i.e. deftly obsessing and fretting over the inevitable, being keenly aware of all the levels on which you and all of your fellow humans suck balls, etc.

But that's why god gave us B.J. Thomas.
 
I hate when people quote my typos!:cmad:
Even worse when it's a post about intelligence that's peppered with them!:cmad:
 
Until about 30 years ago,most people who had seen others with mental illness thought that they were insane.

That's pretty much what I thought. :(

I want to be happy. :(

I feel bad for those with psychopathy. They are like walking vestigals of nothingness. No compassion, no empathy? That's insane. How could you live your life as a reactionary biological organism with higher brian functions, and nothing else? I'd kill myself.
 
The only thing I might suffer from is ADD, and possibly a phobia of social situations. But I've never been tested.

But my mom's family has a looooong history of mental problems. One aunt is on mood elevators to keep her normal. My 1st cousin is full on Paranoid Schizophrenic. Hears a voice that tells him to kill his phsychatrist and everything. When his meds stopped working he though that the devil was in his house form 7 PM till midnight and would drive around to get away.

Whiskey makes me happy for extended bursts, 'cause it makes you dumb for a night! You're too busy laughing or giving yourself over to fun, sex and escapism!:)
Of course then you wake up the next morning physically feeling like s*** and smart again, smart enough to despise yourself for foolishly perpetuating the cycle, possibly full of anxiety because you have vague memories of terrible things you did or said the night before.

So, start drinking again. Wait to die. *P00f* depressed, anxiety-ridden, obsessive-compulsive with a drinking problem.:) But it's fun though, and naturally 100% happy religious delusionals and Special Olympians are gonna die as well, so what does any of it matter.:up:
 
In seriousness, I guess I have Anxiety problems, considering I've had a panic attack before.....

What do you mean "tested"? Are you consistently, irrationally freaked-out when you have to interact with people? Then you're phobic in social situations.*shrug*

the devil was in his house 'cause he had 5 hours to kill. Meds just blind your "third eye".
