How do you rate your mental health?

How do you rate your mental health? Do you ever worry that you will develop mental illness one day?

I personally don't think anyone is totally sane, including, especially, myself - as many of my friends often point out :rolleyes:

I usually do mad things that people don't usually do, and think mad thoughts too... Would you say this is normal for a 17 year old boy?

Oh, and would you say that teenagers are more crazy than adults, or vice versa?

I don't have delusions. I don't hallucinate. So I think I'm mentally healthy.

Well, I worry about relapsing quite a lot (I find I have to be extremely vigilant with my ED as I'm sure is very common) but I would consider myself to be doing ok. Could be better, could be a lot worse so all in all i'm pretty positive about it now! :smile:

well you sometimes have weird thoughts, and do stupid stuff, but that means your healthy because all people are like that...it's a brain healthy one works like that, it fails so that you can get up on your knees and improve more ,it's like walking 10 steps going step backwords then walk fater antoehr 10 steps

My brain is a complex system, which can be chaotic sometimes.

I am doing great now, but I was a bit destressed last year. If these things pass, your A ok, honestly; the fact your aware of your self, suggests you not too insane ha ha

I think I'm mentally stable. But we all have some strange behaviours. If everyone had the same mental makeup life would be very boring, but some people are scared of certain situations more than others and such like, that's totally normal and part of life.

A while ago I got worried that I would be like my mother and suffer from severe clinical depression...but now Im 17 and havent had any sign of it I think I'm in the clear. Otherwise, I do say some wierd things sometimes and my turtle likes to eat doritoes. Only kidding. Although me pretending to be wierd was wierd in itself. But pointing these things out is wierd. Oh god, Im going mad...

Hmmm, I've had years of mental issuesbut I've learned how to deal with them. I class myself as mentally healthy. Although if I didn't make the effort I'm sure I could go cuckoo pretty sharpish!

It's these times that will shape you into an even better person. Imagine the blissful ignorance of someone who never had any issues at all!? Life experience.... you'll definately be able to use it to your advantage.

This is true in my case. I'm now using 8 crappy years to my advantage everyday. And I like the way I see life as a result of this experience.

Pretty damn stable, ignoring the odd occasion when I find myself at breakdown point. I get through it though :smile:

I have a few psychological issues, but I'd class myself as sane, which is what counts, isn't it?

Healthy, except the occasional bit of paranoia. Sombody might do something seemingly out of good-will, but I'll automatically suspect darker motives. Which is usually correct, actually....

I'd call that rightfully cynical. But, then I believe there's a real downfall in a widely accepted sense of 'right' and 'wrong'. People, as a whole, are becoming.... let's think of a nice word...... gits.
