Would you rather be insane and feel no emotional/physical pain, or be sane and feel the pain?
I’d rather be insane because I’m tired of feeling emotional and physical pain.

I’ve been insane by your definition. I don’t want to be like that again so sane.

Sane. No interest whatsoever in being insane again.

I struggle with this a lot since I never quite grasped my feelings properly and they still massively overwhelm me now where there would have been none before. I guess I would say sane, if I even knew what that looked like for me.

It’s great and all to feel, don’t get me wrong. Wellbutrin has gotten me to feel again. I’m just thinking back to the time before I was DX’d and how it lead me down the path that I took because of pain.

I’m tired of suffering, I think I’d rather be insane and happy than sane and miserable.

When I look back on some of the things I have said and done while I was insane I can only cringe. I’d rather be sane.

This sounds like you want to switch off the fire alarm when there is fire disaster?
Or do nothing to fire alarm where there is fire disaster?
Where is my third option? I need to have plenty of water to rescue those in fire.
Similarly, emotional or physical pain is the sign that your body alerts you something were wrong with your emotion or health. Seek help and not just ignore them or pretending not know about them.
When help is not available, remember that you are not going to die because of emotional or physical pain.

The border wall between sane and insane is kind of thin for me. One can easily creep into the other without much warning so I’m flustered that I cannot give a straight and simple answer.
sigh

I’d like to be like everyone else…well the majority apart from us 1 percenters!
Nothing more. Nothing less. Just be on a level playing field!

They’re both the same thing. They are interchangeable.

I used to always be insane with little pain. Now the insanity is wearing off and the physical pain is becoming very real and I feel neither is desirable as both require meds that don’t cure the problem and mess up your body.

I was on adderall in a parallel universe. It made my thoughts faster, increased motivation, and working memory. I tried other ADHD meds. I don’t know if I was diagnosed, but they thought I had it as a kid. It turned me into a genius. Made me a little psychotic probably, but I was higher functioning. Ive been diagnosed with Aspergers officially too.
