Am I Psychotic ? Posted: 05-31-07 13:22pm
I am 17 a junior in highschool. I am an
artist and only enjoy drawing and painting
images from my mind. I sort of make them
up as I go along. Anyway, my friend and I
were talking about some of the kids at
school who seem psychotic (the main reason
I engaged in this discussion was to help
myself understand my mind) the kids are
able, or often pull words and phrases out
of nowhere that dont pertain at all to the
matter at hand. I can do this easily as
well, fellow classmates usually enjoy my
ability to "say random stuff a lot"
random. Why is this? I thought for a while
it was because of my add, then I infered
it was due to my way of thinking in
pictures- but I now realize that thoughts
are thoughts, and I dont think in pictures
I just have thoughts. I space out for
periods of time thinking about something
half in pictures, thoughts and a word here
and there. How do most people think? I
feel like my head is always jumbled up
with weird pictures and stories, thoughts
etc. Am I going to lose my head
someday???? Is their anybody else out
their like this? Please help me. I need to
know if this is okay, no one else I talk
to seems to understand their thoughts well
enough to say, is thinking the same as
speaking for must people? Speaking and
writing sound nothing like my thoughts.
Please help guys, im pretty scared.

Dude, you are a normal 17 year old. If you
were psychotic, your thought patterns
would be broken up and you would likely
lack the mental clarity to reconize the
patterns and thoughts you have enough to
make such distinctions as you have pointed
out in your post. Don't worry about it.

you have a gift-never put down the paint
brush, use it as a tool and release what
is going on in your head. paint on
several canvases at a time-express
yourself -let the chaos come out, you
might be the next picasso.

yep just let those pictures guide you.
Please dont shut it off. Not every artist
has this come so freely. Thats what it is
though. You are different is such a
wonderful way. You are exactly the way
you were meant to be and you are not
crazy. You are just more in touch with
the world. its truly a gift.
