Is it normal that i think i am mentally disturbed?
I think that I have some sort of mental illness. I have always had problems to some degree. My parents noticed it as did a lot of people. I functioned as a kid, but something was clearly off in some way. Not anything too noticeable though and in fact I did exceptionally well academically. At some point after I was layed off from my first job, I began to see myself as entirely unlike most folks I know. I started staying awake until real late like 4 or 5 and watching porno. I started getting real paranoid feeling like everyone was watching me and laughing at me. I even went to a ghetto porn theater looking for a hooker alone. I didn't follow through with it because I couldn't bring myself but I almost did as I have been entirely unsuccessful with women. Then, I was ok for a while, did well in school and was well regarded by others. However, my work performance dropped a bit. Then, when I went away to school, for a while I was ok. However, I then started going berserk on the phone to my family and acting all crazy and started thinking I made a great discovery that was really just madness and not real. My parents sometimes think I am sane, but who knows. I keep a fairly normal attitude about stuff but sometimes get paranoid about the strangest things like that the CIA is conspiring against me and at times I feel like an incredible genius
