Schizophrenia
Hi People!
Herewith I want to say sorry for my strange post about a hunger-strike some time ago, also for my weird behaviour towards the dutch group Xenon where I was in as musician.
Sander/Focus, Gerard Hultink: Please excuse my messages in which I declared Xenon as a dangerous group and that you should be aware of it's members.
The reason for this behaviour is that I fell ill. They call my illness "Schizophrenia", also "Psychosis", a disease which initiated a lot of paranoid thoughts in me. I also started to hear voices from my circle of acquaintances and to see hallicunations, like faces at the wall etc. Those voices and hallucinations ordered me to stay up the nights for about 4 months and to care about scene matters, among other things.
I have passed some months in hospital and I take several medicaments for about one year now. Things are going well, also have a job now.
I don't want you to have a pity on me, but I want the sceners especially those I bothered to excuse me.
Read more about my schizophrenia in Vandalism News #40 which was released recently.

Yours,
Arman Behdad

Arman: no offence taken.
But let's face it, the average scener is great food for psychiatrists. I bet most of us have a story.
Which is ok really. |

I wonder what the reason for that is. Are people with mental illnesses more attracted to nerdy activities and scenes, or does the very same hobby turn people mentally ill? Or does it just seem to us as if among our fellow sceners, the percentage of mental problems is higher than society's average? Discussion please. :D |

as a wise person once put it, the scene makes people bipolar. just watch pouet as a good example of communication and interaction and you will see an increasing rate of people who struggle not being manic all the time.
then again, that certain wise person could have been wrong and those who he thought might suffer from certain mental weakness are just actors trying to socialize in a very, very, odd way. |

I met more maniac people in real life than in scene. In most cases it's not obvious though, since people hide themselves behind their good manners and stuff like that. |

I think everybody is weird,one way or the other.
But ´normal´ people are by far the strangest I´ve met.
I find it hard to connect, when it´s all about TV,kids,cars and football. ;) |

I have ups and downs and can be obsessive at times, always thinking about the same thing. This can be a good thing if used in the right way, and a bad thing if it gets out of control. When i used to ride a BMX, it was all i could think about. All day at school thinking about the end of it just so i could hit the local BMX track and meet with others that were always at the BMX track, thus making them like me. Then theres music, i get to like a new band and i have to have all their albums, otherwise things just don't feel right. Then there's the c64, my pictures, drawing one picture and always thinking about the next one (i've stopped that now, took over 10 years though). Making movies is the new drug for me, when will it ever end, oh the torcher. Thats life i guess ;) |

Intensity: Great, that would be interesting for me to read!
As about normality, my brother started to beleive that everyone around his place has gone nuts and now he feels more "normal" than the average ;)
An important reason that breeds depression is the fact that we are unable to reach what is called happiness, which is actually a very subjective idea, made up into our brains as we've grown up. At least that's my theory.. |
