blueblue Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I've joined this forum once before, but never really contributed much. I'd like to be a part of it, because it's nice to have a community of people you can relate to, but I'm also weirdly paranoid when it comes to using public forums on the internetz. As for why I'm here, I'm pretty off the walls paranoid. Not sure what's wrong with me exactly. I've been "diagnosed" bipolar, but that was from someone who talked to me for about 15ish minutes and left me with a bunch of pills. I'm skeptical if I truly am bipolar, because I really don't act out in any outlandish ways. At worst I'm self destructive sometimes (bad times) but I tend to keep a lid on it. Not that that makes it better, but I also feel like I'm self aware enough to not let my weirdness negatively effect those around me. So what does that make me? Who knows, but I wish I could just exist like a "normal" person and not have any crazy hangups. I'm still trying to talk with psychologists to figure out what's "wrong" with me, but until then ehh. I'm worried it could be some type of schizophrenia, but what do I know? I'm mostly just existing right now trying to maybe get back into school. I've mostly been interested in studying psychology (ironic? ?) but I'd also like financial security. I'd also like to become a philosophy major, but that's probably even more detrimental to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogli Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I have had very very similar experience to yours I think. I also get super paranoid off on off on from day to day and feel just constant chaos but I don't let it leak out on others much so I just feel like I'm slowly toxifying from the inside out. It's great fun! Anyways welcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm pretty grounded, but not enough to where I can be completely independent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessamine Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hello and welcome to CB (again ). Wanting to do something in psychology is not ironic IMO. I actually think it's because we deal with the things we do, that we feel like we'd like to help others who feel the same and maybe things we've learned along the way could be beneficial to someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblue Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Yeah that's pretty much why I'm interested in it, but at the same time I feel I'd have to be pretty grounded if I want to help others first. Not that I feel I'm incapable, I'm pretty confident I'd be good at it (hopefully!) but it seems like a stressful career. Anywho, thanks for the welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
