Is it normal to want to be mental?

Ever since I was little I wasn't ever quite right, but now I find myself wanting to be insane. I've suffered with eating disorders and I know all the risks and how terrible it would be so don't just reply 'no you dont' cause i really do, I liked the thoughts and feelings that came with my E.D. Its not for attention, I'm only ever happy if I'm sad is all... Is this normal or is wanting to be insane like this a mental disorder of its own?

    It isn't exactly normal. But you certainly aren't alone in thinking it.

    I find this offensive. Being mentally ill is not fun or something to be desired. I would give anything so that a member of my family was healthy and well, as well as being able to squash my own anxiety/depression issues.

    I think you're ridiculous for even wishing this on yourself.

    It sounds like you're a hypochondriac. You think you have diseases/disorders that aren't there, or want to have them. It's somewhat normal but not healthy.

    If you liked to be shocked by electric (which they do till these day even if they don't admit it) or having someone else cleaning your own poop after its got all over you, or even eat it!then go for it!!

    i don't see how is that a source of happiness in any way.

    i think its a combination of ....
    sadistic lover + desperate for attention + 3 spoons of escaping reality + 1/2 cup of not having the courage to face life's struggles = this story poster.

    Insanity is overrated if you ask me.

    sometimes i want to have some sort of mentle illness becouse it would explain the way i feel all the time. i want there to be some sort of explanation for the things i do-or can't feel or do. i don't want to feel that way, and be normal, but at the same time i want there to be an answer. if that makes sense.

    i use to want to be mentally insane, then i use to fear i really was. Now I dont know nor do i care. I do still however have the urge to check myself into a mental hospital and just stay there for however long it may be. Have you heard that one song by Harvey Danger? Flagpole Sitta? I know I'm not sick, but I know I'm not well either

    No its not normal but I went through this myself. I convinced myself and others that I was bipolar....okay to be honest I still think I'm kinda bipolar but err yeah i know what you mean.

    I don't want to have a minor disorder, I want to be full-on, laughing maniacally, straightjacket, rubber-room crazy.

    Think about it. It'd be like being high 24/7. Free food and board in the looney bin. All your needs are being met, and you're always happy. That is the perfect existence.

      No matter what pills they give you, you are not ever 'happy'. The most you can hope for is a dull numbness, unconcerned with time and uninterested in anything :o(

      Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it!

      I THINK YOUR MY NEW BEST FRIEND, ive always wanted the same. And straightjackets seem really fun. I have imagined myself running and jumping against a rubber wall only to fall down and start laughing. I would be laughing mostly all day, maybe even laugh in my sleep, plus i agree all your needs will be met and your mostly happy so whats the problem, maybe you'll get bored but you can always think of puns and jokes, and if you a schizo then you can talk to the voices.

    I think this has to b fake, but on the off chance its real, you ought to attend in patient group therapy sessions. I worked as an interpreter and all the confessions during these therapy sessions were very enlightening. its miserable to hear random voices all the time. depression is obviously horrible too. having attacks of paranoia is frightening. psychosis is utter hell. when I was in these therapy sessiona, I realized how the people really hurt, and I thank my lucky stars ive never had any of them!
