I just finished reading Johnny got his Gun and I started thinking: What would make me go insane?

The main character was blasted by a canonball and had to be hospitalized. When he woke up he couldnt see, couldnt speak, couldnt hear, couldnt smell, didnt have legs and didnt have arms. That made him to start to go insane when he couldnt express himself....


I think that would make ME go insane as well......

Seriously, being trapped in a small room with a baby crying & wailing nonstop.

It will drive you crazy, happened to me many times with my baby bro on long car trips.

Losing many family members or friends within a short period of time could drive me to mental insanity. Not being able to communicate, like in the novel would probably have the same effect on me as well.

Becoming extremely over-scheduled (even more than I already am, which is a lot) would make me go crazy. (In a loose sense, not literally.)

It's been reported that some drugs can trigger psychosis in people already genetically predisposed to it. From what I've heard, psychosis is a lot like being insane.

Being immortal would probably drive me insane. I'm too curious about what happens after death.

I've heard no T.V. and no beer can make someone go crazy.

What I think would make me go crazy would be being in prison for years/life and stuck in a tight cell for hours for a crime I didn't commit/framed for. So many years would go by in my life wasted.

If I was able to hear everyones thoughts or when anyone was speaking, like hearing billions of different things at once.

Good one. This would drive me insane too. Imagine walking around school in a hallway and hearing several thoughts; especially if those thoughts were negative about you and you would have never known it without being a mind reader.

I remember watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer once and this exact same thing happened to her except for the negative thoughts about her thing. She did keep hearing about a murder plot against someone though and it drove her bonkers.
