Well sometimes it can be more someones own mind than any outside stimuli..
And people like to look at situations like this..and try to find an answer..
So...people say things like ..well they were picked on..and they snapped..or...they were doing drugs and listening to death metal..
But you really dont know..
Its like trying to figure out a suicide...
Sometimes whats in someones mind is 100000 times worse than anything in their environment..
I have freaked out and attempted suicide many times among other things..
I still feel like I have very little control of my emotions..
And I dont see things right...not rational and I know when its happening that what Im thinking is distorted..Its not the way things are but I cant stop my mind..
It has caused me problems all of my life..it got me put into straight..I wasnt on drugs..I was fucking nuts...I inherited it..
How many 6 year olds are seeing child Psychs?
I was rised in Institutions..Psych doctors visits every week..Then as I got older the drugs started ...
It has cost me many jobs, friends , girlfriends...
And medications havent ever helped..
The smallest thing can happen and my brain spins out of control with emotion and assumption and I get lost in it...and go into anger robot mode..or paranoid robot mode, some days its a monumental thing for me to drive 3 blocks for cigarettes..
I get surges of terror when the phone rings..
Wierd things like that..
But back to my point...
Now say if I, hypothetically,caused a tragedy..
and had I not told you any of what I just did..
judging from what you think you know of me...
You might say...I did it because of Straight, or opiate addiction...or any number of external reasons.
And none of them would be correct..
Just like all the crap we read about Columbine
is just what everyone assumed was the cause..
Because its really probably whats going on in their head that noone knew and had nothing to do with bullies or parents or trenchcoats ...
The cause is one thing society cannot stop.....ever...and thats the inherent ...evil in man.
Call it mental illness ...call it evil....name it what you like.
