Mental illness hurts,having it myself I know.
Anyway seems a lot of people out there like to pretend there is a thing called"normal" and they judge others worth to that'normalality stick'.So, if you ain't normal or measure up to normal enough to'pass' you are at risk for a social death sentance.
A social death sentance is painful kind of social rejection.It comes from being labeled crazy or not worthy enough to speak your thoughts among your social peers who being easily convinced by the label giver(usually a bully type in the group)that you are'crazy'. When you are deemed 'crazy'that means no one in the gruop has to take you or your points on any topic seriously and that is part of what hurts.

What is considered normal, is a very broad range, and it takes some effort to go beyond those borders. Subway cat does it with ease. She should remember if things get to bad, it's down the road, not across the street.

32. Bingo! Misery Makes Money!
Pills!
Shopping!
Escapism til ya drop!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
And, we go along with it, rather than stubbornly insisting on community as the antidote.
Oh hell, I'd rather trust the shrinks and pharmcos!

Community? With people like you? I'd rather choose the pills, shopping, and escapism if you are the alternative.

I didn't realize that thread was older until halfway thru- was she homeless then? Those two together just cracked me up.

Well, more important than "normal" is "functional." One can be abnormal as far as their appearance, attitudes and so forth go and still be able to function in society and have fulfilling lives. However, when you can't or won't hold a job, can't maintain satisfying relationships, have unreasonable expectations of those around you, live in a state of constant emotional flux, and are even driven to distraction as to whether you are a friggin' man or beast, you are not functional, but rather dysfunctional. That's not usually the fault of society.

Listen UGP, you can talk about your thoughts all day long with your "social peer group" but they'll still be crazy like you when your done. So do you go home at night or will thye put you up in a rubber room?

Let's put it this way. If you cut off parts of your body because you don't like your chromosomes, and you dress like a macaw on crack, then you are buying your own fare for the shun bus.

Perhaps waiting for their February welfare/meds to kick in.

That's what I was thinking, Ree! It's amazing how desperately they all strive for victimhood, every single one of them and not one of them takes responsibility for their situation. Sometimes it's damn hard to find the combination of meds that work but these people continue to bitch even when they're on their meds. Why would you want to live like that? For me, it was like a light went on, the whole world was brighter! Why the heck would I want to mess that up trying to talk myself into depression, daily anxiety, and romps through OCD ritual hell? Just embrace each day and make the best of it. Some are great, some are horrid...but these people bring emo to a whole new level of neurosis.

They like feeling bad....it's just that simple.
They get up in the morning and spend the day talking themselves into a deep, dark depression....It's like they have a split personality and the dark side always wins the argument.
