Curious, how many people refer to themselves with one of these words? Just for fun :slight_smile:

I’m a member of a cricket club that is like 70 members or so every year. I’m a long time member and I don’t hide some facts like I see a shrink and if they ask me I’m schizophrenic.

I went through psychosis and there and still people like me! Even when I thought everyone was out to get me!

It’s not a bad cop and it’s good to set people straight…but I’m still proud my cricket is better than most peoples my age statistics! What’s normal anyways??

I do think I’m crazy but I don’t like to be called that when it’s in a tone of disgust or something like that because it’s not like I’m proud of it.

The other day, my mother called me crazy in both literal and metaphorical manner. We laughed about it.

I think my word of choice is “nutty,” but I use “crazy” pretty freely. I have psychotic depression, so don’t use “schizo” because it’s not my word to use. I don’t use “psycho” and in most cases would be offended if it were used about me - a good friend teasing might be the exception.

I totally respect people who are offended by or don’t want to use or be called by these words - they’ve been used to marginalize and undermine people for ages, and no one should feel obligated to take that on themselves.
