is a fictional character in a game called
Sanitarium, (a personal favorite of mine). As he recovers from amnesia
he overcomes childhood sorrow, thwarts murderous conspiracy, fights his
way - though slowly - back to reality. For the most part, Max is growing
and becoming better.
Sometimes, I, myself feel like Max in some ways. Sometimes life is
stressful. Sometimes I feel like "going mental." Sometimes I
feel way to close to that.
Many people feel the everyday stresses, and some (God Bless Them)
feel so much worse. I am hoping that this site becomes a forum for
sharing.
Mental illness seems to flourish around here. My own world
encompasses people who are manic depressant, alcoholics, mentally
retarded, have turrets syndrome, are slightly paranoid, and one or two
who have been on the edge of schizophrenia...And you now what - looking
around me, it seems pretty common. I'm sure if you look around, you will
find a little mental illness in your world.
Just call me Max.
