Does anyone see insanity as a course of action?

I wont bore you with my life story, but ive resently been told that choosing between insanity and sanity is a course of action for some, and i think that im one of those people.

What i mean by course of action is, for alot of people insanity isnt a choice.
And for some, it kinda is.
If your un certain about your goals and life, you may sub consciously choosing to become insane.

I think im doing that. My depression and anxiety has always been there, since i was a little child. And now that im getting help for it, i dont really want to give it up.

In this day and age, it will be very hard for me to get a job with my grades, so insanity is like an escape path.

Is anyone else going through this , or has any advise for me.
Even if its negative advise, it will still be appreciated.

I think I can relate. It does happens sometimes when you reach a point were enough is enough and you have a few choices.
1) Take a break from it all come back and try again.
2) Leave it all completely behind you and look for something else
3) Just say screw it all and go nuts.

I would like to try to give a little more advice but you would need to share a little
more about yourself.

I do not think it is insanity we are talking about here I just could be painful numbing
frustration which can lead to crazy actions.

normality is a curse! give me insanity any day of the week!
you can only get knocked down so many times before you become insane.

i love being insane, it suits me down to the ground, cause then i have nothing to live up to!, so then no worries!

spw has taught me a lot about stuff, that i never even knew about.

I think a lot of people feel that way, including me. You've lived with anxiety and depression for so long that not having it is kind of scary, because you've been conditioned to see that anxiety as your identity, or at least a very major part of it.

Sometimes I wish I were insane enough to be admitted to hospital so I wouldn't have to worry about being left to the wolves to fend for myself. Most of the time I just worry or try not to think about where my future is going.

It helps me to remember that there are people who've had it far worse than me and they managed to make it, somehow. It's really comforting when my professors talk about being homeless and not making the grades they needed and going back to school. So I just have to keep trying til I make it, too.

Sorry but I do not think this is a helpful post. It all depends on what you think is a knock down.
If a person is hypersensitive and temperamental then everything can seem to be a knock down.

You have to rationalize and think to yourself what is a knock down and what
isn't. Why do I see it as a knock down. You can take inspirations from other
people lives. They might not see it as a knock down. Why is that?

wow thank you for all ur posts. i didnt think i'd get so many in such a short space of time.
I completly agree with 'Harelyq' i dnt want to fend for myself.
I also agree with 'redski' when you said y do i see certain things as a knock down- are they knock downs? ect. And i have asked myself that alot, but i keep getting the same answer.
If the things i see as a knock down arn't , then what do i have. Its kinda like bordem, but mostly its because axiety ect is a big part of me, and it has been for a long time, and now years later of having it, pretty much everything is a knock down.
Its kinda like a drug, the more u take the harder it is to give up.
