I was trying some anti depressants and they didn't work well for me but the bizarre side effect from taking them is that i couldn't stop talking to myself. I go on walks in the evening and when i was on these meds i would be out there walking down the street having conversations out loud with myself, every day! I do this in my head sometimes but with these meds it wasn't silent and i just couldn't turn it off.

Stop spying on me

It's the leading cause of spontaneous crying in the car.

Well, excuse me for crafting such moving mental narratives! 😔

I was arguing with a wife I made up in my head about not wanting to go to some event and her being mad at me because I was mopey the whole time. Even though I told her I wasn't going to have a good time and she could just go without me. This happens every time and I don't know why she keeps asking.

Anyway my fantasy wife and I are getting a divorce.

So fitting to rebound off of bricklove.

If that's happening to anyone, it lowkey just means that you're really stressed out about something(s), and not talking about it. In my experience, it's because the person in question is either bottling it up, or spending too much time alone.

For anyone wondering: No, this is not a sign of a mental illness. Talking to yourself is completely normal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

But you still might have a mental illness, talking aside

Normal if you have a mental illness

(It’s a joke)

If that's a sign of mental illness then ADHDers are in shambles.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More than just ADHDers, but… Thought this was just normal life

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Go on the ADHD meme subs here and absolutely everything they post is normal human behaviour imo

ADHD is a mental illness though.

ADHD is a neurodivergent category. 🤌🏼

One definition I saw suggests a mental illness is treatable.

It's general practice to provide a reference when one claims to have such, all due respect.

You don't need a sign, the tiktok watermark alone shows you're in need of professional help.

See, that's why you build a therapist in a box inside your head, so it can mediate between the other aspects of your inner processes

Is a Therapist in a Box just a DLC for the Jack in a Box?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Of course. Comes with a free skin though
