Sometimes I wonder if I am losing my mind

But then I realize, if I can wonder that I am losing my mind, it must not be completely lost (yet)

Sort:  

There's actually a specific phrase in psychiatry for this phenomenon: insight. It's a feature that's present in certain mental illnesses, and missing in others, and can sometimes be used to help prognosticate whether or not the mental illness is likely to improve.

For the regular Joe, of course, insight into mental illness isn't much an issue. On the other hand, insight into other areas of life is a completely different story... and many of us are in deep trouble. 😂

Can I turn off this insight button?

It's telling me too much about myself

I'm not going to prescribe you any medications over the internet, Khal 😜 In-person appointments only!

In all seriousness, it may be better if we're able to embrace and accept our own flaws so that we can work on them... or not! Some people simply don't care. I sometimes envy them. 😂

Hahaha

In all seriousness - it is good to recognize your own flaws. Some people can't stand and look in the mirror. I am a big believer in feedback. Whether that means feedback on the UI or feedback I give to myself on a deeply personal level

That's a mature and respectable quality! It's quite tough for us to do because it brings out truths that we sometimes cannot face. It's also important to elicit other people's feedback - particularly those who are close to us and truly care. Their insights can tell us things that we may not know, or even may not want to know. Good family members and close friends can do this quite skillfully. It's a gift to have someone like that in your life.

It's a gift to have someone like that in your life.

It is! A very rare quality to find in family and even more rare in friends (family tend to be more candid in their feedback)

Cultivate those relationships and hold them close!

That's a nice thought after all. 🤯
