is it possible to think yourself to insanity? - General

[QUOTE=nemmises5;25862900]I get about 4 1/2 - 5 hours asleep a night a majority of that time I just sit in bed thinking, always thinking....about everything in my mind :psyboom:[/QUOTE] Stop staying up so late. You condition your body to go to bed at a certain time. You then make it difficult for your brain to shut down. This happens a lot for me, you aren't going crazy.

Thinking about - you know - can make you go insane

[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;25881561]:eng101:[/QUOTE] I saw that coming. That makes you predictable.

Maybe, the DM took sanity points off me and still didn't let me have the toilet brush that one time we played Call of Cthulhu.

Just feel like teaching away my innocence, don'tcha there?

The fact is that there are two contributing factors to thought and insanity: IQ and latency. The higher the latency, the more the ability to generate ideas and thoughts. The higher the IQ, the more the possibility to control and shape these thoughts. An insane person often has a high latency, resulting in a flood of thoughts, but a low IQ, preventing the person from controling them. So the answer is yes, only if you are able to generate that stream of thoughts however.

Well schizo's get running thoughts, similar I guess.

They're always departing but they never arrive... and the ones that do arrive... they never leave... you never see them go they're always full... no one ever gets on but they're always... They're always departing but they never arrive...

Who cares [editline]6th November 2010[/editline] not me

ultra high latency and and high I.Q.? how would that work out?

In my opinion, the minute one starts thinking is when they become insane. Mental Patients however, is another story entirely

If you would think too much, get deep into problems, you will get in depression, because you will find out how bad things are. Stop thinking. This is fast threads, no thinking here, no derpression.

Well how else would you get insane? Your own thoughts make you insane, even though they may be enforced on you or created by something you see or experience.
