Title: What is "normal"
Post by: Shadshad on August 18, 2012, 07:05:59 AM

I feel I am losing touch with reality and what being "normal" is anymore.  I have recently relapsed, but even thinking back to when I was alright, I can't see what was so good about it.  I take each day at a time but there never seems to be anything to look forward to anymore. At the moment, the slightest thing seems to push me closer to the edge.  I just wish for oblivion.  What is the point of life?  What is normal and what makes it so great to be alive?  It all just seems so pointless. *^*

I dont really know what normal is, looking back I've been anxious and/or depressed since the 80's, just recently I've felt reasonably content, I'm hoping that will last.

I dont know myself. I have and idea or concept of what normal is but I have never been it.

Alot of people on this forum talk about feeling the same way as you do. I guess thats normal for us, those feelings you mention

Dear Shadshad, you are asking the questions I wish I had answers to. You're not alone with your thoughts, and you have made me feel a bit better by confirming that I'm not alone with mine. Thank you.
