I had a friend who went crazy. He was a cool guy. We hung out, played ball, drank beer.
When he became afflicted with mental illness, it wasn't cool at all. He would have done just about anything to be normal again.
"Crazy" isn't cool, sexy or fun to be around. Crazy isn't being a nonconformist and bitching about it. Crazy isn't popping a little Prozak to get you through your final exams. Crazy is desperation, sweat and piss. Crazy is losing your job, your girlfriend, friends and your freedom. Crazy is losing control of your body and mind. Going crazy is terrible.
