| | | Mentally Unstable How do you know when you've reached a state of mental instability?
If you can rationalize irrationality...if you're really crazy, is it possible to be aware of it?

| | | illusions are a big factor.
usually, the person who has the disturbance, is not the one who realizes; it's their peers. because, they seem to have 'imaginary friends' who claim are really there, but they aren't.
schizophrenia often makes someone feel like there is bugs all over their skin, causing them to scratch their skin raw. but there isn't really bugs there.

| | | Fras- I ask myself that question every other day. How do you know? Maybe pay someone to tell you, like a psychiatrist?

| | | I think you can recognise when you've reached mental instability if you've managed to create a seperate logical side to your personality. However, that in itself could be a sign of mental instability. And as emotions all too often prevent us from being logical how the hell can you tell when you're not being logical? | |

Well I don't recall having those particular brain chemicals... but yes especially those if they were there. Romantic love is the ultimate form of natural mind control. It will push all logic out of the window if you're not careful. | |
