Hello
Do you know how to check (without going to a psychiatrist, psychologist etc) whether I am seriously mentally ill? I don't know whether I am just a little bit too weird.

Do you mind being called insane or not. Do you think it's a rude word?

The way I look at it...does it even matter if you fit a certain category or not?

All that matters is how you experience your life. If you feel things are going wrong then they are. That's your reality. You don't need a certain label.

You said something I don't really understand.
What does it mean that you're a specialist?
I need to know whether something is wrong with me or am I just a teenager because I'm just 18.

Ignore the specialist tag. It's something the site gives you when you post a certain number of times.

What I am trying to tell you is that you don't need somebody to tell you how you feel or how you don't. If you don't feel ok, then you aren't.

Thanks for telling that :)
And do you mind when somebody calls you insane? Do you take it as an insult? Because I don't know whether I should do, I am slightly autistic and not always understand the emotions behind the words :(

Well personally I don't mind what anyone says to me. They don't really know what I am like.

But to answer your question, it depends on the context. Sometimes people use the word 'insane' in a positive way, but sometimes they also use it as an insult.

I wouldn't worry about it though!

There's no way whether to tell if you're insane or not and no I don't think it's a rude word. I mean what are we supposed to say? Mentally ill? It's all the same. But even if there were a doctor here there would be no way to assess your mental state over the internet.

Specialist is just the title the page gave her. First you start out as a member. Then you graduate to master for example specialist, elementalist. It doesn't mean she's a specialist as in a doctor.

How could we know if something is wrong with you?

Emmm you said twice the same thing but ok I understand. Then I have to make a lot of posts :)

I mean, maybe you know the way to check it out? Here in Poland access to good specialists is very limited :(
And I agree about that insane part. These words are the same but I know for some people they are not.

I didn't mean to say it twice. It just posted that way. How would I know how to check out specialists in Poland? I don't live in Poland. What kind if specialist are you looking for?

Emmm I don't think you understood what I meant. Do you think I cannot check whether something is really wrong about me without going to a specialist? I don't need you to know about Polish specialists just don't make me go to them, ok?

Hello @DoNotLet2 Does it worry you that you might be mentally ill? Would it change anything? I think people mean that it's difficult for us to answer that question because we don't know you that well and also we are not qualified to answer. I know you a bit better but I can only give an opinion which could be completely wrong and I don't want to give you incorrect information. Does that make sense?
