Did he suddenly grow a goatee?

[A²]

No, no facial hair. Or monocle & top hat. It was actually quite frightening to see his personality change so much. Now that I'm older and wiser, I want to say that he got chewed out for not keeping us in our rooms, but that just doesn't really...fit. How would his boss find out? Why would someone squeal like that? Why such a drastic change for one thing?

Probably was told directly to stop being nice to people, and took it very seriously.

This reminds me of the tales from the loony bin my parents used to tell me and Saturn as kids (Parents both work in psychiatric care).
Like a guy who gave himself an enema with the drinking fountain and the spigot broke off in his ass.
Or the guy who thought he would melt whenever he had to go back inside after being outside.

My favorite was of this guy who was in a straight-jacket, in a large cell, empty besides a lone light bulb in the center of the ceiling, I can't remember if said light bulb had a metal grate over it or not, though.  One day, the guy is found in the dark windowless room, eating the light bulb.  Still in the straight-jacket, with no way he should've been able to get the light bulb.  The room was too large and the ceiling too high for anyone to conceivably even wall jump to the bulb.

I had a friend that I play shooters with now and then that did a round through a place once for severe depression. My favorite story he told was about a group therapy session. They were talking about things they enjoyed doing, and he brought up DnD. The shrink took a KEEN interest. Keen as in

"So you say when you play... you are a wizard that casts spells."
"...It's a game. Fantasy. Make believe."
"Have you ever tried casting these spells on someone else?"
"Jesus, NO! The wizard doesn't exist! It's made up! I don't think I'm a wizard! I only pretend to be one in a land that someone else made up! You have no idea what Dungeons and Dragons is, do you?"

It apparently went on for a period of time, and the next shrink that talked to him about the delusional fits the group therapy one wrote down about, he broke into laughter after hearing it was Dungeons and Dragons.

It is my considered opinion that we are still in the 'sawing limbs off and applying boiling pitch' point in the evolution of the treatment of mental illness.

Defenstration's story make me wonder if there are people who think that they're thimbles when they play monopoly.

You are not alone.
