It seems disorders and mental illness are "cool" to have now. It's ridiculous.
Also, every time people make characters who have mental illnesses like schizophrenia, they're drawn as cackling blood-covered murderers, all like "HahahahahahaI'm crazyImmakillyouhahahahahastabbystabahahahaha"
There is so much more one can do with the mental illness trait without sticking to that cliche BS. It's a pretty offensive generalization, too. People need to research this stuff...

Not to mention self-harm. That's "in" now too. People show off that they do.

0ne of my friend's niece was doing it and telling boys she was "suicidal" to get attention, but acting normal any other time, so he took her to an actual psychiatric place, and they kept her there for like ten days.

Hope the boredom teaches her a lesson! XD

Worse yet, that kind of stuff trivializes actual problems people struggle with and keeps them from getting the help they need out of fear. It's screwed up.

I can't switch off my brain.  I just want it to stop racing.  I don't want any more pain.


Is it so bad to want someone to look after me when I'm tired or sick or sad?


Being the grownup all the time is shit.  XP

^That's normal Trix.

I seem to have picked up a habit of falling down the stairs sideways.

I can't decide whether it's funny or annoying.

Anybody bragging about hurting themselves is not doing it for the reaon behind it, thay jsut want attention. Man. I was talking to a person, OooOOoooOOOOoo she said after i said soemthing. SHE WAS LIKE SHOWING OFF HER SCARS TO IMPRESS. I quite literally walked out of the restraount.

Showing off mental disorders idnt alright, but letting people know like a PSA is alright. Theres a fine line though.
Fukkin' answering questions and telling people is alright.
But~
Associating these metal things ya got with OOOooO Look i have it be like its cool jsut makes me pissed.
Like this kid was like running around shouting everywhere he had ADHD and was like "Its awesome, like, the stuuf i get"
KID IM HOLDING BACK SOCKING YOU IN THE FACE COUSE YOU DONT KNOW. saying it like its benefical is jsut dishonest to get attention or they're lying like its getting you attention, but hurting you in the long run, kid.


im jsut done man
so done

As someone who actually has attention issues to the point where it seriously stresses me out and keeps me from doing things I want to accomplish, it drives me absolutely nuts when people parade around about having ADD/ADHD and attempt to use it as a "free pass". I saw kids use it as an excuse all the time at school. I had trouble in school myself, but I never used my trait as an excuse. In fact, the only times I ever bring it up is when talking about kids like this. :I

I think that's enough off-topic discussion about people using mental disorders for attention, thank you.

Earlier, a girl tapped me on the shoulder in the library and asked how well I know Microsoft Word, because she was having some problems figuring something out while fixing up her résumé. I've noticed this sort of thing happens to me a lot. Do I really look like Tech Support to so many people? Owo I mean, I don't mind too much; it's just strange... >w>
