My ex, just mentioned the other day they were going to contact the police, I pressed her what about, her's what she said, "Oh the police were contacted at least twice. The person broke into Rebecca's room, and turned all her items meticulously and perfectly upside down, exactly where they were. Then, left a broken heart programmed into her mobile on her pillow. Locked her door behind them left her stolen room keys on the desk, and dissapeared (of course the theory is that they climbed out of the window, but nobody saw it... they think they found incriminating fingerprints on the windowsill though). We don't know that Hash did that, but he did burst into a party in the x-block kitchen, and say to Lucy (on her birthday as well) : "You're a fucking evil little bitch... you'll pay for this with your life." Poor Lucy, she never even really spoke to the guy, and I'm sure she hasn't been nasty to him. Still, she was very scared since she is tiny and he is HUGE, and he stood over her, pounding his fists and yelling. Anyway, it later conspired that he hates her "Because she's a bat" (he has schizophrenia symptoms), and he said that she had been altering peoples minds, with her powerful light beams... There's a lot more detail to the story, but that's the gist of it." That is nuts... I can't believe they let someone like that out (the accused is an ex-mental patient...) |

well.. he probably wasn't like that when they "let him out".. sounds like regression.. |

i always like the idea of turning peoples furniture 90 degrees, or upside down, or just rearanging their room. No harm meant there, but it blows their mind this is sick though :( |

i did it as a joke once (in a student hostel) in summer school, put all the stuff in the wardrobe and cleaned up the room as if it were empty .. quite nice to see that the favour was returned :) hehe .. oh right .. almost forgot to take that clozapine .. there - much better. |

Yep, neglecting the prescribed medicine as he couldn't think clearly to study... and nicely complementing that with some "self medication". Still, the boy likes drum and bass so he can't be too bad :) |

that devilish music must have driven him insane in the first place, mate. |

Hey, two more posts and I'll be hitting 6k. |

|
|
ah .. "self medication" might explain it .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh i have my mental problems and with the help of certain self medication i am able to not be a zombie. so don't blame it totally. but still, this dude sounds scary. but i have sympathy to him; mental problems are always such a hard topic. people may not even realize what they are doing. |
||||||||

i guess it depends on the type of "self medicating" .. it can also have quite the opposite effect. related question: when exactly does a problem become mental, or cease to be mental? |
||||||||
|

|
|
good question i will have to think bout this |

Well, this guy seems to be doing anything he can get his hands on- crack, acid, whizz etc. hardly sensible when you're already slightly unhinged... Apparently the guy got worse this weekend 8 of the 10 people on his floor have been trying to get him kicked out, but as he's not deemed "a danger" to anyone else yet, all they could do was move him to another flat... |
||||||||
|

|

mmm.. what's whizz? ceri: that's tricky one - because on the one hand, as long as he hasn't harmed anyone he's not a risk - but then once he has, its too late to call him a risk. but surely the flatmates can get him evicted? neetta: hehe .. (don't do your head in over it :) |

whizz = london (and generally UK) slang for speed/amphetamines. He has threatened to kill one girl twice and broken into her room. I'd say that's enough to constitute a threat IMO. Korben, re: "related question: when exactly does a problem become mental, or cease to be mental?" Do you mean, "how bad does someone have to be for it to be considered a mental problem"? |

Ahh.. ICE (meth amphetamine crystals) is the new thing in NZ (already 9 related deaths, due to induced psychosis or indirectly, ie drug dealing etc.) .. re: the question .. well, possibly - but also curious, re the supposed mental/non-mental distinction. presummably a stubbed toe or a stomach ache isn't a mental problem .. on the other hand you get the very colourful paranoia/psychosis but there's quite a grey mess in the middle .. dunno, at the moment i'm quite liking a sort of holistic/contingent approach .. |

hmm. a mental problem could be deciphered being an illness without physical cause, but that would just be silly. i'd say things that keep a 'normal' and 'healthy' person from living a normal life are mental problems. in the end, they may have physical causes. but then there is the society thing - ours is running so fast that not all can run along. and since everyone, even those wo don't keep up, are kept alive, these problems with coping occurr. huh. i thought of this for a long time and all i could come up with was this. |

It's hard isn't it? It's not terribly clear cut- some "mental" illnesses are caused by physical symptoms- aneurysms, strokes, mild brain damage, high blood pressure etc. all affect mood and the way you behave. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes and where is the line between a strange person and a mentally-ill person? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, you get some people who are mentally ill, but outwardly appear normal, perhaps only demonstrating minor pathological tendencies and on the other hand you get people who a shrink would declare "mentally fit" who is eccentric and appears very odd to others... |
||||||||

I usually think of it as any person, wether sane/unsane can get diagnosed. I'm still waiting for mine, that's what I usually say. |
