News Extreme Bipolar...

[ChosenOne]

Cliffs:

- guy is delayed by TSA and misses his flight to visit his ill grandfather
- in a desperate fit of irrationality he manages to race to the gait, too late and force an emergency door open
- he then finds his way on to runway
- he climbs on to the wing of a plane about to take off and before the pilot can turn off the prop engine he is sucked in and killed

Stories like this where people cannot shake themselves out of the 'moment' and instead just keep moving towards death always surprise me. Not that i do not get that mental illness is a thing, but how someone who would seem normal on one day can swing to such an extreme is what i am speaking to.

Jesus…




































Well, I guess he’ll get to see his grandfather soon.

 

[Renard]

He was already in mania. Mania doesn't get triggered by specific events like TSA being assholes, it's random and lasts weeks. What does get triggered is a psychotic break during mania. Mania makes the person think they can accomplish literally anything. He probably genuinely thought he was going to Tom Cruise his ass on the plane no problem.

I smoked a geoffrey with friends at the end of spring break before going to the airport. (Cancun)

Get there and some asshole is holding up the line to check bags, so I figure, my bag still has the tag from when we flew here, they will figure it out and chuck my bag on the fuckin automated thing TJ dillashw was boxing on, whatever that is called.

This does not go over as well as anticipated and I find myself in airport security. High as fuck. Nothing on me. They ask me lots of questions I answer very poorly in Spanish. I find out the asshole hold up the bag check was my roommate when he is also taken to security.

Thankfully this all occurred in 1999 or so, pre 911 and best I can tell they decided their best move was to put us on a plane and make it so we were someone else's problem, because that's what they did. I was still very very fucked up when we got home. There may have been pills involved. We did pull a side mission to the pharmacio veterinario and the pharmacio uhh.... regulario. Sorry, my Spanish is rusty.

No running on the tarmac though. That's wild.

I have bipolar and while I've never had a freakout like that, there are often times I cannot control my emotions and it leads me to act like an asshole. It can feel like an out of body experience where I'm soberly watching myself and seeing what a prick I'm being and wishing I could stop but there's nothing I can do about it. It's caused me to isolate myself from people to an extent because I don't want anyone to see me like that since I get seriously embarrassed by it

Serious question which might not seem like one.

Do you think, in that moment, that if someone gave you a painful slap, that you could be snapped out of that moment?

There was this old school belief that only women (or mainly) fell into such emotional conditions that they simply could not think straight and in old movies the remedy for that was a strong slap.

I am legit curious if you think that could snap you back to sobriety in that moment?

Hahahahahahahahhahahahaahhaah

 

[nhbbear]

Missing your plane sucks, but so do jet engines

I think so. My worst episodes are when I'm alone and something pisses me off, but if there are people around I'm at least mindful enough of them that it stops me really acting out. Because I'm definitely not a confrontational guy and hate offending or upsetting people. So I'm not as extreme a case as the guy in OP but I can understand how it can be

I mean when I used to have to fly all the time you saw a different side of me delay wise. Poor grandfather, as if he didn't have enough to deal with

I'm a legit irrational flyer.

Flying back to Heathrow from LA there was a guy in full on Islam robes with the beard on his knees flailing at the plane. I was so fucked after 9/11 I was already in a tiz with air travel but when another woman boarding the plane started crying about him I lost it too. I went to comfort her and ended up in the same situation. Husband and I spoke with one of the stewardesses and she said if I rebooked for the day after the same thing might happen. so no point. I understand completely his right to do what he did, it just wasn't long after 9/11 and I misappropriated him. For the 11 hour journey I had his reflection in my TV worried he was going to light a match on his trainer and blow us up, husband even asked if he wanted me to ask to swap seats so he could stop him.

I know this makes me sound like a loon. Honestly, terrorism air travel scares the fuck out of me. I've even had a go at airport security for not checking me enough.

Ok, well since i like you Zer, if you need me to show up and slap the shit out you, just let me know. Anything for a sherbro!

I am sensitive like that.

Sounds like some shitty security doors...

 

[lowlife]

It's a crazy thing to see yourself doing something and wanting to stop, but being completely unable to. I was fairly crazy in my past life.
