i love phsycologically mental -insanity -makes -you-think- movies.think Girl interrupted.it also scares me much more than a guy with a mask running around chopping people into little macaroon pieces.. because in the end the biggest fear i have is my own mind turning on me. Alzheimer's, schizophrenic disorder, delusional disorders- the brain sabotage list goes on and on..so how do we cope and stay sane everyday? what is sanity then.your INsanity might be another persons sanity.
i have never been the most stable person - ask any guy i have dated,my family- i love throwing hairdryers into mirrors and challenging anything and everything. i can also turn very dark in the blink of an eye. but i am also not afraid of admitting it- on the road to recovery..as long as i keep the fire burning in my heart.if you cant handle the heat then get out of my discussions.
what got me on this subject once again was the movie shutter island. fearing of spoiling it for someone i wont go into detail but the big picture falls mearly on how remarkable your mind-your brain can be. at shutting things out and making you believe any story or fantasy you create..one line in the movie "trauma comes from the Greek word wound" made me sit up like an excited puppy spotting a piece of fancy new leather.
so if you are traumatized- you are wounded?so this is the way your mind copes-by closing it in a file and healing the open wound, much like a smashed in forehead that's fresh with them stitches.and when you are ready and strong enough to deal with the trauma it pops up like a computer anti virus alert..
okay..but does sanity and mental state differ with personality?
that's he physical aspect now on too the emotional -i am moody part-to me there's the question of artificial happiness? anti-depressants and other medications to control moods or personality..are you lying to your brain by taking medication,tricking it to think and things a different way and suppressing the person you really are? if you thought a different way would you have made different choices and gone different directions in your life?or would the base of your personality and the way you handle certain situations still be YOU...
how sane are we at the end of the day?
