I agree with waterdogs, insainity is very overrated and although I did meet some nice people (the patients not the staff)in psyc wards...it was not a pleasant experience over all...You think your bored now...try spending a few weeks on the locked ward with nothing to do but play Gin Rummy and try not to stare at the guy who thinks he is Jesus(there was only a superficial reseblence in my opinion...no walking on water)
I never wanted to be in this world(to the best of my knowledge)I dont want to be here now and made what I thought were valid attempts to leave this world....to no avail...plans foiled again...failure at suicide...perhaps a problem with "Executive function"....whatever it was...I am still here...still not thrilled about it but trying my best to kill time instead of myself...I seem to be lacking the "zest" for life that some peole are born with but I can take some pleasure in small things...I collect rocks,go to the thriftstores and garage sales to "hunt treasures"...pet my cats and bunnies...read some really good books and waste alot of time writting these longa## posts...thats as close as I will probably get to "fun"....maybe you need to explore some new obsessions....or a new angle on them?I really dont know....I am sorry your hurting.
As far as the liking things that scare you....I liked scary movies and books since childhood...alot of people do, but it can make you think dark thoughts....then again ,if you didnt like "dark thoughts" you probably wouldnt enjoy being scared....You cant make yourself like butterflies and unicorns(gaggs)...
Anyway...this to shall pass...well, it didnt for me,I just got used to it...sorry...
