Well, as I thought I'd pointed out, I view myself as insane. For being a multiple, for being a real vampire, for watching the walls breathe at night...lots of reasons. That's my starting point. I am these things; I am insane.
It's easy to go downhill from there.
What I'm trying to get across here, is that these are my opinions/precepts/hang-ups/pick-your-term. I'm not saying I speak for the group at large and I'm not saying everyone who is something that I also am is insane.
Though I might be saying that yeah, there maybe be a little bit off about someone who feels Sesshoumaru is walking about in their heads, with the fluffy sheepskin on one side and the cool vengeance on the other. Waybackwhen, we called such folk "touched" and knew they had disassociated from reality. I don't know what to do in a world where these aren't the common switch sets.
A mentally ill person can be both sane and rational.
Well...compared to the median age on LJ at large, I'm old. I've obviously bought into a lot of stuph I was told over the years, getting old. So your statement doesn't make sense to me, but...as I keep pointing out in these conversations...I am trying to learn.
