There is this fun challenge that I'm playing in the sims 3, called "the insane asylum". In that game you can control up to eight characters, to play with them and chose their fate in the virtual world. For this challenge you are controlling one sim, the other seven are left on their own freewill. All of the eight sims who live in your asylum/home share the insane trait. The one you control in order to be released from the asylum and to end the challenge, must complete his/her lifetime wish. An ultimate goal your character has in their life, usually is about a career. None of the sims can't leave the building, only the one sim you control and he/she can only can go to work, to the grocery store or the bookstore to buy stuff. And above all this one sim must make sure that the rest of the patients are fed, have their needs taking care off and that they will not die. Having insane sims do their stuff, well they start fires or they pee themselves a lot. It is a hilarious challenge. And in games it is much ok, in matter of fact you should be laughing for stuff like that. You can kill a sim for your amusement or be a home breaker, because not one is really getting hurt. They are perfectly fine, you can reset them.

| The insane asylum I have created for the Sims 3 |
Just wondering if that's something you can do in real life? Have a reset.
In my previous post I spoke about my mental health problem, with a faint hope to dissolve the fears and taboos around the issue. It will not be my arguments or my abilities to convince you, that will keep you from visiting a psychiatrist. There is an other obstacle that I haven't name yet.
Part of the therapy might create a need for isolation. You need to consider things, work with your self and your triggers. But this has a danger, to make you feel cozy in solitude. For me is like an other difficult challenge, to be around others. Sometimes I feel unwanted or that I'm not good enough, that I have a some kind of flaw that is making me unbearable and I estrange. This is a some kind of institutionalization. You are placing yourself in a "home" where tasks need to be done, challenges you are creating. Anything to keep you away from the outside world and by that to deal with your own anxieties. And you totally fail to see that there are others with the same defect as you, a trait that makes us feel broken. What if I tell you that you are not the only one in this world with this fear? And what if I tell you that the compassion, the tolerance of your environment will get you as far and trapped you forever in the idea that you are broken. By identifying that trait and finding others who share it, will change your life I guaranteed you. Will make you free of the obligation to pretend, to cover that up and within that environment you will rediscover your self, you may even reset your self. Claim a fucking happy life and be out of the institution to live with the million others who has their own unique combinations of traits. Individuals that some you'll hate some you'll love. But never again they you will make you feel like you are the only one. You're not!
There is a very valid argument that just pop out. Not all people in the world has mental issues, some of us are perfectly fine and happy. Of course!! Yes. If you are genuinely happy don't question that. You are indeed, you don't have to be "sick". Hell you think as sickos choose that, no way! But it happens and it may happen to you and there is no need to be scared of that before and if you have to face that. Because you will know how to fight it and be happy again. Or maybe you'll be forever the sane one who knows how to help others. One who understands that you don't throw away people for a freaking dysfunctional trait, they can be fixed, they can be reset.
The mean voices in my head are saying that I should explain why I don't have post a new story yet in my blog. They say it suppose to be about that and not you. Who cares about you! I have a real slow progress on that field. I'm not sure if I'm actually capable or have what it takes. But I'd like to share an other crazy true story. It happened the next day after I publish my previous post. I was returning home from work but due to changes in the bus schedule, the downtown roads where closed, I follow a different route. I went to different bus stop. And someone had left a magazine. I was alone and decide to take a look at it. I have to tell you I am a skeptic type and definitely not believing in zodiac signs. "*stuff about planets I cannot translate* blah.. there are voices inside your head that make you feel angry, guilty and remorseful. *questions like may be the reason for your frustration Is your love partners more demanding that you can handle? is one*... Stop those voices before their grow louder and disorganize you. What happened, happened. *Signs and planets again*...you need to be calm just for a little bit longer"
Is the goddamn planets in my zodiac sign align in a way that makes me insane?! Is it that simple?!
*Upd 17/12/2019 This is one of the articles I was keeping for some time. I didn't post it right away because I felt I'm not in a place to give others advises, especially with a guarantee. What it made me change my mind and I will post it today, is the challenge for the game I'm mentioned in my first paragraph. Being inside, with restrains, is certainly not the place where you can't speak about freedom and happiness. Then and there, these things are only concepts, a distant wish, much like the lifetime goal or even this is the lifetime goal. But unfortunately those who are outside, away from the problem, cannot help. Except professionals of course. They are not in your place or should be. What I'm trying to say is, there is a path you need to take in order to solve your problem. And those who walk it right now, who live with the uncertainty of where it leads, can give you some directions. Because there is no easy way out or standard solutions. Each case is different and if you hear those who has heal, may say do this or do that but it will not work for you, because it has worked for them. And if you do have a lifetime goal, you haven't conveniently suppress, out of fear to claim it, this is a challenge you will face. The asylum. This is life! You cannot just take something great without giving your everything, even your sanity. Good luck to anyone who actually can see and relate to what I'm saying.
