Would you turn yourself in?

Yeh...
Imagine your seeing shit, and hearing shit and all-round being a bit loony, would you seek help?

What if you started Self-Harming and doing weird rituals?

What if you started carrying piano wire with you around town?

...
How far would it go before you sought help?

I'd self-medicate.

Far. Very far. Possibly too far...

I'm not sure...I thought one of the symptoms of insanity is that it seems sane to you though? So would it even occur to you there was anything wrong?

I have turned myself in before. I suppose I didn't let it get too far since I am still alive and wasn't criminally charged with anything.

The voice in my head assures me that I don't need help.

bah, i'd probably enjoy it. spice up my everyday life a bit.

i used to want to carry a knife with me to lectures last year when i had bad social anxiety, and almost did a couple of times but i always stopped myself (cos i realised it was slightly nuts). not quite piano wire but meh

You don't leave the option for not turning yourself in? That is pretty stupid. I would not turn myself in.

EDIT: I guess the last option for attention is the not turning yourself in one but how would you get attention for it if you hid it? If I went insane I would probably be paranoid and would not look for attention.

If I started hallucinating I'd freak out and turn myself right in.

for me id have to say i know i should, but im scared so i wont.

Meh.

What if you entered states of like NO control over yourself and you acted a bit insane, like cutting yourself with a knife and tasting the blood?

If I experienced those symptoms, my state of mind would be such that a) I woulnd't consider a problem
b) I wouldn't consider turning myself in a solution

If you think about it long enough, everyone deserves it.

Isn't part of being insane not realizing it? I guess you would think that it was ok or warrented for some reason.

The fun part is that usually by the time you reach the point when you're harming yourself and/or others, it seems like a pretty good idea. :p

If only they'd tell me why they deserve it.

Yes, I understand that this Mother Theresa person needs to die, but can't you tell me why?!

Damned voices.
