Muckraker  Posts: 266 Joined: 1 Nov 2007   | It's going to sound weird...but Eclipse Mints. I have 4 cases, each containing around 12 boxes of 60 mints. Whenever I go anywhere, the four things in my various pockets are cell phone, keys, wallet, and Eclipse Mints. When I'm in a new place and don't know what to do with myself, I pull the tin out of my pocket and eat a mint. Doing that calms me down before I get a huge anxiety that I don't belong there, and I can mingle with people. If I was given the task of counting all the people in the world that I've given mints to...I couldn't begin. I've had a box in my pocket every day for 4 years...and if I run out in the middle of the day...the rest of my day is guaranteed to suck. I told you it was strange. |

This is pretty true. Found this out last summer. For me, the most therapeutic things are playing my bass, reading (if I'm not really nervous, in which case I have trouble concentrating on words on a page), and listening to my music. Also, watching reruns of House is nice. I did that for a few hours today. I appreciate his wit. |

Madness? |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 66 Joined: 18 Jun 2008 | I'd say my art, but I'm not really one of those asshats who thinks they draw better than everyone else. So really nothing is, I'm already insane I'm just good at hiding it, (technically I'm retarded). I have ADD and aspergers syndrome along with an array of other anti-social and psychotic behaviours. |

That's funny, because most if not all of those guys wrote and performed music under the influence of drugs and alcohol. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1930 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | At the risk of giving everyone diabetes, my fiancee does a pretty good job of keeping me sane most of the time. I shudder to think of what I'd be like without her. |

My Beloved Jallil keeps me sane most days of the week, when she isn't MAKING me crazy... Video Games, TV and Cars are the other things in my life that make it survivable....
That one stopped working for me once I moved out of California... |

Seratraline used to do an ok job, but the side effects got too extreme, especially if I a)ran out and couldn't get more for a while due to working, and b)forgot to take it. The withdrawl from it was one of the hardest things I had to go through (especially since I refused to not work during it.) |

Yeah, about the same as the above. Haha, the thought of it scares me :-p |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 62 Joined: 7 Mar 2008 | Other people mostly keep me sane, but I guess you could say that everything that I like/enjoy keeps me sane. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 102 Joined: 18 Jul 2008 | Most of my friends are crazier than me. So as long as I stick with them I at least appear moderately sane. |
Paperboy  Posts: 11 Joined: 5 Jun 2008 | I wouldn't say I'm quite sane nor am I quite insane, what keeps my from falling into insanity is fighting. |

Paperboy  Posts: 14 Joined: 14 Sep 2008 | I guess knowing that any action I take would bring consequence to people that I know like parents, sister, brother. If there is some way to disassociate myself with my family I would certainly act in a more irresponsible manner. Something like posting in an online nick or playing an online game, there is no way anyway can connect that to my family; hence I'm more insane online than offline. |
