From the book of LostFizodeth, chapter 3, verse 16:
To the people who think the disorders are BS, you're wrong, they're just Neurotic. Every disorder labeled has a Nuerotic and a Psychotic effect, Psychotic being where it interferes with your daily life. So if someone diagnoses you with a disorder, and it doesn't do much, it's just a minor neurotic thing. My not being able to have a blanket over my face when I sleep is neurotic, someone who is monopolar manic, yet only gets a little hyper, is neurotic.
I think a lot of is hype. The way I see it, mental diseases can be classified as follows:
"Screwloose": Slightly eccentric
"That boy ain't right": Should be taken from society for awhile or put on meds
"Grab my gun": Psychofuck
It's all crud and you're cruddy for thinking it isn't, you pudgy marmoset.

Gydfather had this to say about Pirotess:
I was fortunate enough to go to school before everyone got "labeled" as to what's allegedly wrong with them.
Whatever, depressed ADD guy.

Gydfather spewed forth this undeniable truth:

Yep, I saw a lot of kids with ADD when I was in school. Except instead of high cost pills they just smacked the kids until they behaved. Funny enough it worked just like those crazy pills do.
I hate how everything is labeled a disorder now. The majority of ADD and anxiety cases are very common and controllable if someone even has a tiny bit of self restraint. I see so many people it as an excuse for poor behavior, pop their pills and call it good, a disturbing trend indeed. [ 11-25-2003: Message edited by: Reynar ]
I don't want to be medicated for my ADD- I've brought it under control, by making myself do what I have to do, and giving myself rewards ONLY when the work is done.
When I was small, it was almost impossible for me to finish a task - weather cleaning my room, diong my homework, or embroidry. I would get distracted, and poof. I would come back hours later, and be like "Oops."
I don't do it anymore. I have MADE myself become orgainized, clean my room, clean the house, do my homework - THNE I can do what I want to do. I understand SOME people have ADD so bad they can't function, but I know I'm not one of them. I have to work my ass off, but I don't need medication, or a therapist for it. I can do it myself.
My anxiety, on the other hand, scares the shit out of me. I'd ather not go on medication, but it all depends on what my therapist recommends. At least for me, it's CONSTANT whatifs in your head - and they start to eat away at you. When everything is alright in my life, I canhandle it myself; but the more stress I'm under, the worse it gets.
So before I get worse, I'm going to fixit. ^_^ My psychyatrist is very nice, and she helps me a lot; and even though some people are like "OMG! All Psychiatrists will keep telling you you aren't better and you haveto keep coming back so they can have more money!" She didn't. I saw her for roughly 7 months, and then I was better - she told me if I ever needed to talk, I could come back, but that I had greatly improved. She supported my descision to stop. ^_^

Glad to hear it, keep it up and I'm sure you will have it beat in good time.
Good old fashioned will-power goes along way in somethings. And in the end you'll feel extremely good about yourself for beating it with your own conviction, rather then a pill =)

I already do. ^_^ The first time I actually FINISHED my laundry, while playing Baldur's Gate while it washed, I felt like jumping up and down - just because I didn't let myself get pulled so far into the game that I forgot what I had to do. It's a very elative feeling.

And when you go off, that minotaur will get his! 
Seriously, though, I wish more people had a view of mental illness like Parcelan's. That is to say, a matter of function rather than disfunction. Allowing people to label themselves based on their inabilities leads, often enough, to people using it as a crutch or as a grab for attention. Better to operate on an idea of functionality. Oh he's a little odd, but generally a good worker? Great. Eccentric. 50/50? Well medicate the bad 50% and so long as they aren't dangerous, expect the same things you expect of everyone else. Then only focus heavy attention on those who are non-functioning members of society.

My short term memory sucks but I have an amazing long-term memory once I can actually get something from my short-term memory in there!
Short term memory problems cause many problems in maths but apparently being dyslexic makes me good at history.
That was basically my psych report. Dyslexia is used to cover too many things these days but what I wrote above is apparently one type (Although this comes with a few other problems such as having trouble understanding what people say to me when I get ranted at. This has to do with auditory recognition. Dyslexics hear just fine but they need a little time to process the sound. Therefore being ranted at is not good
