Mental Illness for Dummies

There's a joke that I love:
First Man: "Are you suffering from mental illness?"
Second Man: "No, I'm enjoying it."

I read a book once that proffered a philosophy that maintains there cannot be "disease" of the mind. Since the "mind" is not a tangible thing, it cannot have a disease. That made sense to me.

So, what am I to do with my contention that I have mental illness? I think I can prove I do.

Here is some proof:
1. My mind gets a fever: I get heated up about a lot of things I only think about.
2. My mind gets fatigued: I get so tired just thinking about certain things.
3. My mind coughs: I can be thinking of one thing and then instantly, out of no where - "Cough!" - I have a spasm and my mind spews junk.

This is not scientific, but it is one of my theories.

At this time, I don't know what could cure or help the Common Mind Cold. But it would be nice if someday I could find the equivelant to NyQuil for the mind.

Actually. Come to think of it, Nyquil actually does help a little...
