I'm going to reply......because I can (hehe)  BUT I would say keeping track of your meds would be a good a thing but in my opinion and as far as I can tell you're pretty normal or at least normal enough to be able to have say in how your life chugs along.

Ativan sbould take care of himself and be happy and at peace.

Exactly. Ativan may be the "normal" one and the rest of us may be the ones out on the fringe  :P

I agree normal is different for everyone cuz we aren't all at the same place but I would guess normal is whatever Ativan thinks it is.

As someone born in the town of Normal, Illinois, I usurp the title of the only normal person around here.  But Ativan can be my second-in-command. ;)

The town of Normal, love it.

Personally I think Ativan should just look up more often.

Can we call the forest the  'Normal Forest?  It can still be the Androygn Forest, even the Unicorn Forest. But, normal forest would be nice for awhile

Pica,...I live up high, both at my computer and my treehouse in the Normal Forest. In fact, there is a nice and very big oak branch I bet I could jump to.

thank you who think I may be normal, I'm not. I'm having really HD ups and downs at least weekly now, sometimes shorter. I'm also starting to get Tardive symptoms. I'm nothing but a fcuking lab rat for the drug companies. We all are if we take any kind of drug that was not made specificultly for what ever it is you need them for.

So for now, I need to go through the trial effects to get rid of what is annoying at the least, but its getting worse.so more drug trials that last from a couple weeks to a couple months. And I feel like a massive manic stage is about to appear. See what happens, don'rt know if I did something and already forgot about it, I hope not, it's just a nasty part of who I am that I can't control. At least I quit drinking and havn't done any street drugs for about 25 yrs now (yes I am that old 58 but going to be 59 in September). So I'll be here, but not normally for who knows?

It's more that, when you look up, it's hard to see yourself.

I know what you're saying. But, I am my own first line of mental defense, Mary here is second, and she's got more than 30 yrs of experience. I depend on her to tell my the truth and what I up to, where I'm at. I have a therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist, and the doctors at the clinic in town. There would be about 5-10 mins for an evaluation team would start to show up. They can declare an emergency an I'm strapped down on the gurney and off we go. I can call them, or Mary can. I can get a grip, and start acting normal, I get to stay home. But, I am the one who starts the process. I go to Mary and start letting her know. she takes it from there. So if i'm not always watching out for myself, i might get a knock on my bedroom door and get up to talk with the police in my bedroom or down stairs. They are very nice about everything so long as I don't get violent (I have a horrible record from my past). They also are not afraid of using there tazers with out notice.

Looking up from myself sounds nice and for periods of the day I can do that, sometimes all day. I have been going through a lot of sudden and somewhat abnormal attacks in myself for awhile now, but we'll see.

Sometimes I wonder
What I'm going to do
there ain't no cure
for the summer time blues.

Hah hah!

I feel normal most of the time. I'm a poor judge of myself. Sometimes I feel perfectly normal, but those who know me, can tell when something is going wrong. So at those times my normal is normal to me.

That would be correct, if there was such a thing as normal to begin with.
The only normal thing, is not being normal.

We are normal (and we want our freedom)

Oh man ......  feels good to say that.

i think ativan is pretty normal, at least for him. it's not right to measure oneself against the rest of the world, because the most normal thing i know in this world is that no two persons are alike, even identical twins have their differences

It depends on where society has set the bar at. If you make it over the bar, people welcome you. If you shoot upover the bar you could even be considered a great person. There is a bar for that also.

I have a solid grip on the bar. When it moves, I move right along with it. I used to dance around on the top of it, until one day, I don't know if I fell or if i just jumped off.long,long story to tell on here.
