Can we be totally misunderstanding mental illness?


Question Posted Monday July 31 2006, 5:20 pm

Can what we call "normal" people not be normal people? I saw a man today, sitting on a park bench having a "normal" conversation with a person beside him but there was no one there. I got the strangest thoughts and feelings as I walked by like "Could this man who was making perfect sence (not rambling at all and taking breaks like someone was really answering him) be talking to someone on a different plain? Maybe a dead person but also maybe just a total different plain then ours? Do doctors think of this when they exam mentally ill patients? Why are our minds so closed as human beings to say "There is only one plain of existence and if you don't live on this plain only there is something wrong with you?" Throughout my day today these questions have crossed my mind. Can you discuss this with me?

That "normal" guy like you said could be talking with sumone tht is dead like a close relative or sumtin. Sumone who was prob. close to him tht he still sees and never got to tell them how he flet or good bye. If this guy looked normaland was having a normal conversation i dont beleive he is mentally ill tho he still could be. People, beleive in different things and sum of those things is that people shouldnt talk to themselves. when alot of people do. We intend to shut them people out. which is wrong. i beleive there is nuthing wrong with tht man or ne other person who talks in the park having a conversation.

im really sorry if this is not what you meant or wanted to hear. this is all i can think of bout tht topic and tht man with the conversations.
