Is it normal that i wish i was crazy?

Sometimes i wish that i had some kind of psychological disorder to be different. I can find a disorder that i can relate to. Or maybe i just wish i could relate to it so i choose to see all symtoms that i have in common. Do i need to seek help?

    It's normal to want to identify with others or 'fit in', even when you're an adult. But, don't read the first sentence I typed & think you're normal. You're attention seeking in a BAD way. Find healthy ways to get attention.

    I'm in the same boat. Its weird though, because I know I'm different just being myself, but deep inside its like I'm trying to find a reason to pity myself and give way to all my past regrets. We are searching for a key to unlock our purpose, but its not the right one

    You might have something that you haven't been diagnosed with. Maybe wanting to have a disorder is a disorder in itself. Anyway, like someone previously mentioned, you probably just want to be different, whether it be in a good or bad way. You shouldn't wish for that; I have depression and a form of autism and it's never been easy to cope with. I'm actually very advanced, I've just been underestimated often in the past. Don't obsess so much about being different, everybody is unique in their own way.

    You shouldn't wish that! I am bi-polar and have been through some amazingly tough times in my life. Although now, I am perfectly happy and successful...it took many many years to get to this point. You can still be different without having a mental disorder!

  • I think you just want an excuse to be different. There are many ways to go about being different. Just try being yourself, because nobody can take away your individuality but you.

    I have always wanted to have some real psychological disorder. But more for an excuse to get away with all the stupid shit I do or want to do.

    By no means am I "crazy" but at 39 years old, I have taken medication for OCD for nearly half my life. For those trolls out there, I fully recognize that this does not constitute me as "crazy" but there are other aspects of my life - that I won't go into here - that could easily deem me as 'off'...

    That said, I can completely appreciate your question and desire for uniqueness - I don't think that 'craziness' is the way to achieve that uniqueness. Focus on your strengths; focus on your passions. That will lead to the path of being unique. We're all a little crazy - there is no uniqueness in that.

    you probably should seek help. I do the same thing but I don't know why. Are you bored with your life right now? Do you think your life would be better if you were crazy?

  • I used to think it was cool to have one of those, then realized I might have a couple or one. I REGRET, wanting one!

    I used to want to have a physical or psychological problem in order to get attention or get out of doing something. I.E. I would imagine breaking my arm right before a big exam, or getting in a car accident to avoid a responsibility. I also thought my mentally was abnormal, ergo I did have a mental problem. Then I found out I was depressed. It wouldn't hurt to look into seeking help. Even if it only involves some minor counseling.
