I guess the best example I can think of is Chris McCandless
Then there’s the North Pond Hermit of Maine but I suppose people would not classify him as free of mental illness.
Just wondering how many people are out there living in caves, walking around, hiking trails, hopping trains, or living in National Forests full time who really aren’t mentally ill and just choose that lifestyle. What do you think?
Yeah…I kinda started to ignore this dude’s post when it started to get a little pseudo-scientific…like a lot of mental illness is due to chemical problems in a person’s brain/genetics lol
hm, didn’t know i wrote about genetics. never mind, keeping attention or focus is not for everyone.
About brains beeing affected by chemicals… maybe this article is “funny” enough for you (not in english, i’m sorry, use a translator)

The article is quite old now, but i’m sure no kid there actually breathed that air for longer than it takes to become an adult ;-)
