Im 15 But I Fantasize About Mental Asylums And Hospitals...Am i Crazy? i watch a film, read a book or watch a tv show and sometimes i will see a certain role where someone is in a hospital or mental asylum that will interest me. usually its a character around my age group sometimes slightly older but i will imagine myself swapping places with that person in the hospital or mental asylum and i fantasize about having to be restrained in a asylum, i also like people to think im crazy but i don't know why, i used to cut myself even though i wasn't depressed i just used to like to do it. i also have sort of an alter ego, whenever i imagine myself being these characters or whatever i don't call myself by my name i call myself katie,so its not me in the asylum its katie,its not me taking an overdose and getting my stomach pumped...its katie and in my head i will imagine it all and see it like its real and the girl would always look like me but her name would be katie and she would sometimes be better than me in certain aspects,she is good at skateboarding and the guitar and singing all stuff i wish i could do. do you get me so far? ive never told anyone because i don't think they would understand you have to be in my head to fully understand what i mean and to think what i think. im only 15 years old but i really think and worry that im mental,so am i? i also want to work as a P.E Teacher but if there is something wrong with me do you think i will still be allowed to cuz they are quite strict about stuff when you are working with children.

Mental hospitals/asylums for "alien-abducted" patients? I recall my aunt telling me an interesting story about when she lived in Kansas City about her friend who worked as an RN at a mental hospital in the middle of nowhere in Kansas. Apparently, this asylum she worked at had a majority of patients who had gone insane and claimed they had been abducted by aliens. There were really weird stories. An example: The people weren't loud or rowdy, mostly they were just really anxious and quiet. There was a visiting area in the hospital for family members, and in the waiting room there was a payphone. Every so often the payphone would ring, but there would be a different ring every time, and every time the pay phone goes off with a certain ring, an 'alien-abducted' patient in the asylum is just set off like a bomb. They scream and cry and yell words no one can understand. They scratch at the doors and the walls of their room until their fingers bleed. I don't know much else, but I tried searching it on the internet with obviously no help. Has anyone else heard of this or know some information regarding the subject?

mental asylum visitor?? During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what is the criterion which defines a patient to be institutionalised. "Well" said the Director "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him/her to empty the bathtub". OK, here's your test: 1. Would you use the teaspoon? 2. Would you use the teacup? 3. Would you use the bucket? "Oh, I understand" said the visitor "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or teacup". "No" said the Director, "a normal person would pull the plug! Do you want a room with or without a view?"

Man in a mental asylum.......? had been there for years. One day while he was painting a view in the grounds, he was visited by an officer who's job it was to say whether the patient was well enough to be released back into society. When he saw the beautiful painting the patient had done, he asked him how long he had been there. 'Twenty long years Sir', he replied. They had a long long chat and the officer was surprised that the man was institutionalised at all. 'I think I could safely say that you would not be a threat to anyone, maybe even become an artist. I promise I will do what I can to have you released. The man could not thank him enough and shook his hand happily. As the officer walked away a brick hit him on the back of the head. Turning round he saw the patient smiling...... 'You won't forget will you'!

Did Jesus spend the first years of his life in a mental asylum escaping at 30yrs old? Why is his early life carefully airbrushed out...was there something shameful about it? Reply to countrybu...: There is no mention of Christ's early years in the Bible, there is only one (now considered fake) piece later added about him being found in the temple. There are a lot of people in asylums who believe they have a mission to fulfil. Reply to msscarlet...: More personal attacks, ..try to keep it impersonal you seem to be a nasty vicious piece of work, why don't you ever answer the question?
