What's the first sign of madness?!
Question: To the person having the experience, the first sign is FEAR. Extreme uncontrollable FEAR of things whch normal people would not give a second thought to.
E.g. Fear of what people think of you, fear of germs, fear of sleeping, fear of going outside the house and so on and so forth.
To the people observing the experiencer, the first sign is irrational thought processes. For example, someone can say something like "I don't want to go to the shopping center bcos I am being attacked by invisible rays".
Now these are things that may happen to everyday people or may be said in jest as well, but if you look in the eyes of one who is loosing it, there's a FEAR or some perceive it as Wildness in the eyes, that speak for itself.

Wearing underpants on your head, sticking a pencil up each nostril and responding to everything with only one word... WIBBLE.

Hairs on the palms of your hands.
The second sign is looking for them.
I talk to myself...alot. It started about 6 years ago with insignificant mutterings like, "think I'll have something to eat" and has steadily escalated into full blown dialogue. For instance, if I am at home alone, I will quite happily talk out loud about whatever it is I am thinking about. It could be about an incident at work and how I feel about it, or plans for the weekend or whatever. What is a little scary is that when I am talking out loud, I often chuckle to myself or laugh as I'm recounting a funny incident to myself. If somebody were to overhear, they would think there was somebody else in the room and I was relaying a story to them. They would also think me quite insane. Furthermore, I've recently had to stop myself from "reflecting" out loud in public. Basically, I am vocal with my thoughts. But this can't be normal behavior, am I going mad?
Changing your name to "Bumumble" ;-)
