uhmmm...

i got nothing ...


funny - i started a thread like this waaaay back in the day when i was starting to wonder if i was the only person on the forum who wasnt medicated or a candidate for medication.

it wasnt to be a mean superior prick - it just seemed crazy disproportional - i know these kinds of mental illnesses are pretty common ... but why all in one place - a horror forum ? does that strike anyone else as kind of odd ?

then i saw another forum and it was similar.

one thing made sense to me - if the kind of illness resulted in a difficulty in dealing with people or makes the person a shut-in) - i think a forum provides an outlet - a way to reach out to people without having to really be with them.

like DG said above - everyone has something ...

taking a closer look at myself i know i can be a compulsive eater if i dont take measures to prevent it.
(keep junk food out of the house..etc)

i'm a completist - if i collect something i find i have a driving need to get all of that thing - but thats tempered by being aware of the realities of having a morgage to pay and the other financial responsibilities of life.

i hate arguing - (i love discussing) but pointless angry arguing makes me fall asleep. by brain shuts right down. i remember how mad my ex-wife would get - she'd be bitching about some stipid shit and i'd fall asleep in the middle of her sentance. obviously an subconcious self perservation technique.


i'm still alarmed by the number of more serious afflictions though - and wonder if there's a relationship between that - and loving horror movies.
