Do you ever question your own sanity?

No. I read once that if you wonder whether you are insane or not, you are not. An insane person wouldn't wonder. He (or she) would think their insane thinking was perfectly sane. I DO question the sanity of a few others however.

I clearly recall questioning my own sanity at one point during my early 20s. I had been going through some rough times with a personal relationship, family issues and work matters all at the same time and it was just a little too much to try to take on all at once. It passed, and there was much rejoicing.

Sometimes, but I'm pretty sure that I'm acceptably sane. Eccentric, maybe, but I have all my senses about me.

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

Not really. I used to when I was a lot younger.

No. I figure it's the people around me who are nuts.

YES! I posted this question because I have been taking medication that causes hallucinations...and yes, yes, yes...I've been questioning my sanity on a daily basis! I thought I saw an Amish child walking through my yard one week...I thought I saw my dog eating poop (well, that may well have happened, but it occurred in the house, and my dogs have not "messed" inside for a long time...so I question it)...I thought I saw a cougar down by the barn...Sheesh...anytime I see anything slightly unusual, I wonder if I'm hallucinating or if it is really happening! Hopefully these side effects will wear off soon, because if not, I'll have no "sanity" left to question!!!!!

Constantly, but I question every one else's also.

Cristin, 25
Frisco, TX USA

Yes... but it doesn't know the answers either.

Alias Irrelevante

Only occasionally. Most of the time I think I have a pretty balanced view of the world.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

Never. I'm totally sane. It's just my memory I have a problem with.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

Im pretty sure im crazy, and not in a good way

Talia, 25
Tallahassee, FL USA

No. I question my judgment occasionally.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

Sometimes.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

Never.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

Not much and not seriously.

Felicia, 37
Lowell, MA USA

I occasionally question my own sanity and usually conclude that the world has gone mad.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

Not really. Others probably do quite a lot.

Aly, 17

Every single day.

Keri-Jade, 23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA

Often but not so much that it looks like I'm talking to myself.

Stephanie, 27
TX USA

Now and then.
