Before I say this I should just state,I'm not the most mentally stable person.(Read:Schizoaffective disorder)
Oh,and I'm very easy to scare.
So today I had an episode in class and kept hearing scratching noises and so I went to the nurse's office,which is in a separate building and on the way back I saw a man in the distance who looked like...well,let's just say he certainly didn't look fucking human.
Ever since then I've feared that he's come back,and now it's night and my parents are gone out to eat.

Have you discussed ways to cope with anyone? Maybe try to distract yourself (preferably not with a horror movie I suppose)?

[Xantalos]

Very likely to fail school.
It's my fault entirely.

Post a topic in Life Advice if you haven't already. People might know ways to save you from failing.

[Xantalos]

I know how not to fail, I just lack the willpower to do it.

I've shocked friends, professors, and fellow employees alike for having a dumbphone. The fact that society has so accepted the whole "get bent over by phone providers so you can play with your little touchscreen thing" is a wee bit scary to me.

I've opted instead to get a crappy little tablet at a sixth of the cost of a modern phone. How much are you paying in hardware just to be able to accept phone calls, anyways?

Nothing, usually. I usually opt for the free-with-contract phone. The one I'm currently on cost less than a crappy tablet ($99) and is generally faster.

My current dumbphone is 2 years old, I spent $40 on it, and with Boost I get unlimited data and calls for $35 a month. only out of cell service when I'm underground or in the mountains. I also don't feel compelled to continually touch my phone, which is a plus. It has internet access but it sucks because it's so slow and tiny so I never use it. Games would be pointless. The only thing I wish it had was navigation, but my girlfriend has a smartphone so she just uses hers.

I have a technically smart phone that's three years old. I spent nothing on it, as it was a handmedown from my grandfather - it's a superb phone, and the only gripe I have with it is that it's a bit prone to crashing. It gets navigation too.

I'd post this in the Stupid Thread, but it's gone. It makes me terrified too, though, so here y'all go.

Snapchat. It's a redundant app for phones and tablets, and other things, that lets you take pictures and send them to people with messages.

Most phones, even dumb ones, already do this.

And yet, it's gotten to be such an infestation that whenever I go into a class there'll be several people who just snapchat everyone terrible pictures of themselves all class, tilting it 45° like that makes it better.

That is another thing that I don't understand. I will rarely see a picture of one of my classmates, especially female ones, that isn't a picture of themselves with their mouths open, tilted 45°.

People wonder why I like to avoid other people.

[GiglameshDespair]

Isn't it meant to delete the pictures after a while? Or am I thinking of something else?

[IronTomato]

I wouldn't know. I never use it.

[Descan]

Yes, it's designed so that you send a picture, they look at it, and then it's supposed to be deleted.

You can see what it's used for, mostly. *wiggles eyebrows*

I don't use it myself.

So I watch this episode of Gintama yesterday. Where Gintoki gets total amnesia some five times troughout the episode (to which Kagura comments, this wouldn't be Gintama if we didn't overdo it). Funny shit all that, before it turned completely grim and it seriously looked like the show had a change of heart and shit just got real (and it continued into the next episode before turning silly again).

And shit got me thinking, I never considered memory loss that much. And I realised, how horrifying it must me, to know that you had a life, but cannot recall it. To not know anything about yourself. Who you are, what you are like. Anthing really.

So yeah, do not want, at all. (though a certain part of me got morbidly curious about how it would truly feel to be like that)

I know how not to fail, I just lack the willpower to do it.

"Willpower" can entail a lot of things.

Depression, ADHD, and several other things can sap it, and it's NOT your fault if they do.

I was thinking yesterday, what if snowden HAD actually been a enemy agent. What if he had taken the data he stole, and ACTUALLY given it all to terrorists and dictatorships and criminial organizations.
The fact that the NSA has so much sensitive data that can be stole by single person that could not only harm the US, but harm the entire global economy (eg. backdoors into banks and pretty much the entire internet) terrifies me.

The reminds me of the time a younger friend of mine (12yo at the time) mentioned that he sometimes saw shadowly people outside his (2nd floor) window, and otherwise watching him.

I told him that maybe they were creatures from another dimension that were just watching, but now that he spoke about them aloud, and told someone, they were going to 'get' him.

He didn't sleep for 3 days after that.

I still feel bad about when he was caught shoplifting as a kid, telling him "I'm really disappointed in myself, I should have known better than to think you were a good person."

Nowadays, I know how to handle those kinds of things much better.

He also just got out of yet another psychiatric hospital today (he's 30 now), he also has a schizoaffective disorder, and was still very manic, but still says that I'm his best friend...

I think their screening worked too well.

They hired someone who wouldn't stand by and let the rights of the American people be unconstitutionally violated.
