There are a few different kinds of "going crazy"- one of the worst to watch is when a person has no idea whatsoever that it is happening to them. It's not nice to watch someone go bugnuts and not say anything because you don't want to upset them. Actually, the tendency in this situation is to talk about someone until they have totally and utterly lost any self-control regarding sane behavior and then pounce on them and say "you've lost it".

As someone who has been on all sides of this, just FYI: it's way more humane to start talking someone down from/out of Crazy before they reach the upper floors. Less social/financial/health [and possibly legal, depending] mess for them to have to clean up.

Heh, I like the phrase 'Bugnut crazy'..
When it happened to me, people - one woman I thought was a friend, in particular - talked about me, I could see them in small groups, looking over from time to time.. I'd encounter them later and they'd have fixed smiles, or odd expressions..
I got so paranoid I moved - even whilst in the depths of my.. whatever it was, I may never know.. I made decisions, took actions - fortunately they turned out ok and I'm now in a safe place, with new and understanding friends.

Info: I live on a boat - I chucked two new batteries onto two engines which hadn't been started for a decade, fired up navigation equipment Noah would have recognized and set off out to sea on a 25 mile coastal trip - my first out of sight of land - in an untested craft, had a run-aground on military land I didn't know how to cope with and an engine failure I, thankfully, solved.
In a sane state of mind I'd never have attempted such a thing without plenty of practice - and I've been around boats for a while.

I had no idea what was happening to me.. I.. ran away. Flight or fight.. I fled!
I put my own life at risk in my mental state, because of the way others treated me.

Please, World, if you see me acting weird, talk to me, not just about me to others - you migh actually help!

Ohh, thanks, Laz, good blog!

Spiller :)
