So which one of you guys has been to a...

Is One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest a true story?

I'm not entirelly sure, but I do know that it did spark curiosity in how mental patients were treated and certain things were changed. One of my friends did a huge report on why that book should be taught in schools, I'll ask her.
 
I don't think it is, but I think it took real life elements.

Yeah, I never had to read it. I might want to though, how long is it?

It's a little more than 300 pages, depending on your version I guess.

For posting about your mental state online, you should re-enlist yourself into a mental hospital.

Actually, I'm just kidding.  I, in fact, read all of this earlier today when I was nosy-ing around.  My question is, how old are you?  And how much time have you spent in a mental institution and do you still attend?  I might have missed you mentioning this as I skimmed through some of the stuff you wrote.

[YoYoClock]

I wanna know 1.) how old you are 2.) what the fucking shit is wrong with your mother? do you still live with her? Do you even talk to her?

[AbsintheClock]

I'm not going to lie I enjoyed it. I ate as much of the food as humanely possible, I had the freedom to do wheelchair racing, everybody was walking on egg shells around me which made me feel like a grand dictator, and I got to sleep as long as I wanted to.

[patriotclock]

Why are so many of you mental patients? Am I the only one who is sane and has never had it questioned?

[AbsintheClock]

I was found in public by a cop while not sleeping for a week.

what the fuck, are you insane or something?



aint I a stinker

[MagicClock]

Hey look it's the faggot that threatened to hack .net v2 if I wasn't demodded.



Sup.

lol, I see someone hasn't grown up or moved on yet.

[LuxenbergClock]

most i've ever been threatened with was a psychiatrist

that would've been fun

[rockstar]

What do you think is better nurseing home or mental home.

[FlossClock]

Back in the day when I was little (like 6-7 maybe) my parents jumped on the "Everyone has depression!" bandwagon of the late nineties, and immediately got me and my sister put on anti-depressants. Even back then I was like "fuck this I ain't depressed!" and I never actually took a single pill, I would just hide it then throw it away. 2-3 years later, wouldn't you know it, I was "better" and they took me off. Not to mention the therapist, who I pretty much just phoned it in with and copied different problemed children I'd seen on TV to mess with her. She never took me seriously either though so we both just kind of phoned it in.

In the end though it turns out my sister really is fucked up in the head and now takes massive amounts of various crazy pills and sees two therapists!

heh she was probably really taking the pills to start with.

than again teenage girls have it pretty rough.

[splatter]

that was the best story I ever read, you could make a movie out of it

You must not read many books, sir! I have quite a few better stories then that, actually.

Try to be like Jack Nicholson.

At least you'll get a hat-trick at the Oscar's out of it.

HERE'S JOHNNY

I'm glad this is the first thread I've read here in ages.

Really.

Strangely, this made me smile.

Hey Splatter, if you're one of those people who can really get movements going easily, you should take a stand against the poor quality of selection and conditions in mental hospitals. Really, if this is true, people should know about this.

Also, it sounds like it would make a great plot for the beginning of an FPS game.

EDIT: I'm one of those faggots who has a perfect life, yet sometimes feels a little sad about it because I'm an oversensitive prick. I don't think I'd change it for the world, though. Except maybe make my outlook on it a little better.

The thing is, no matter how many supposedly good things are fucked up these days and no matter how many people recognize them, there's about a 90% chance they'll stay the way they are and people will continue with their dull lives, hurrying about and still thinking electronic watches are pretty cool.

An FPS? MENTAL HOSPITAL MASSACRE. More like a shitty 70s horror flick but eh.

I have a few friends like this; being oversensitive is fine and so is being sad :3

If this is legitimately true really publish it like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, make it known.

Teddybear, you seem like a swell fellow. Every story I tell of my life is 100% true in the way that I remember it happening. If I fuck up on little things or don't remember something exactly I make note of it. Welcome to the CC since I haven't said that already

My question is, how old are you?

how old you are

Only 15.

what the fucking shit is wrong with your mother? do you still live with her? Do you even talk to her?

Apparently, she's fucking crazy and like hitting me in the face and making me bleed all over the floor. But that's another story. I am forced to live with her for another year or three, sadly, because no one will believe my side of the story. (And there are quite a few stories, yes indeed.

I'm not going to lie I enjoyed it. I ate as much of the food as humanely possible, I had the freedom to do wheelchair racing, everybody was walking on egg shells around me which made me feel like a grand dictator, and I got to sleep as long as I wanted to.

Hell yeah, just like an expense-free vacation.

lol.

hahahaha

And thus ends my massive block of quoted text.

[redonk]

that story is redonk bro

[SquidBear]

Here's my story, if it's not too much trouble i'd like a reply:
 
Here is something you need to know about me before you read this...i've always been pretty reclusive. When i went to a mental institution, a lot was going on. I didn't want "institutionalized" to be on my record so i persuaded my therapists to let me be and take medication, which was (mostly) to suppress frustration among other things but that never helped. I ended up going to group therapy, which was okay but i just stopped going because i lost interest. Eventually, i came to the conclusion that i should not care about things in general. Sadly, i ended up being a dick to everyone i know. (That doesn't matter because it's my last year of high school so these people won't even matter, right? I was brutally honest, it never crossed my mind that my opinion ever mattered anyway.) Now i've decided that i need to express myself in different ways, like happiness rather than being a numb shell of a human being. Only a handful of people are still here and understand that, that wasn't me, i went through a difficult time and now it's over.
 
I hope this has helped your struggle in some way, i just told you my story.
 
*edit-i just wanted to add in my story, i didn't take the time to read all of yours because i'm too tired, it's too late, you wrote too much for my mind to keep up with

[Silly Putty Clock]

I was never institutionalized, but I've come pretty damn close to it. When I was in primary school (grades 1-3), I acted out a lot, banging my head on things and such. The staff of the school that I went to tried to get me on ritalin, but my mom fought them, and I'm eternally grateful that she did. Life as a zombie does not appeal to me. Anyway, I ended up in a special education program from grade four to grade eight, but I've gotten out of it, and I'm working on becoming more normal. I've always had a habit of hitting myself when I'm angry or frustrated, because fear of getting into trouble has always been prominent in my mind and I seriously want to hit something under those circumstances. It turns out that turning my fists on myself doesn't help much either, so I'm working on trying to teach myself to take things in stride. I've come a helluva long way. I seriously contemplated suicide when I was thirteen. I've been diagnosed with ADD and mild Asberger's Syndrome. I notice that my mental condition has improved tremendously since I joined the Clock Crew, and I'd like to think that there's a connection (although my joining, at the age of twelve, coincided with the discovery of masturbation and the arrival of my stepfather, who has helped me toughen up and not be such a whiny oversensitive emo bitch).

EDIT: On a more abstract, philosophical note, I'd like to add that I believe sanity is a relative thing. To be sane really just means to have a mind that works similarly to the minds of the majority.

[FlossClock]

I threw a chair at my pregnant teacher in the first grade. I did this because she took away a toy she promised I could play with and let some other kid play with it. I hope her baby died. That was MY TOY.

That's very funny. I don't care how you shake it, that is just really, really funny.
