When people ask you stupid fucking questions they genuinely want to get answered.

"I'm calling so and so in sick."
"What's their name?"
"*insert name here*"
"Are they sick?"

..............................................jesus christ

Household with 2 males and 2 females.
Without fail every time I talk to the stupid male about either of the others, he needs me to explain to him who I mean when I am using the he or she pronouns.

And I really can't even count how many times my family has called me bitching and screaming when their tv's are broken only for them to have turned off the cable box.

I need Valium.

I find it best to cut off the power button on their remotes.

[(V) (`m`) (V) ︵ ┻━┻]

Yeah.


I think above all, beyond all the stupid shit that bugs me.. about all the irritating shit people do.. when someone lies to me, that takes the cake.

I can deal with pretty much anything, I can forgive pretty much anything..

I cannot stand lowlifes that lie openly to me and think they're never going to get found out.

They are by far and away the most vile people I can deal with and I despise them.

Pet peeve I just remembered: when, in a forum or on Facebook or something like that, the poster signs their name. Even though their name/username is right beside their post to begin with.

I do that on Facebook because I co-own a page with someone else. Aside from that though, it's annoying.

Pet Peeve: People who use words like "bipolar" and "OCD" as general terms to describe "moody" people and "neat freaks" >.<

These are real disorders that shouldn't be unprofessionally "diagnosed"...if you could even consider slapping labels on people without truly knowing what the terms mean a "diagnosis"...The misconceptions and stigma concerning these mental problems are very much a fault of the media, movies, stereotyping, wanna-be-shrinks who spread their "knowledge" that is really just a collection of popular opinions that they've heard from other non-psychiatrists, and long-outdated definitions/superstitions/rumors/etc that are not even close to being accurate.

Additionally, these disorders do not present the same in every person! And just because someone has some "typical" symptoms, it doesn't mean they really have the disorder. It takes more than most people think to be officially diagnosed, and with bipolar patients prescription medication(s) is a necessity. "Moodiness" is due to chemical imbalance in the brain that is only correctable with medication(s). It's not a result of life experiences or [poor] upbringing or what have you. They were born how they are.

Not all bipolar patients experience full-blown manic or depressive episodes either. Some only have very mild bipolarity, or experience one kind of episode more frequently. Unless they have rapid-cylcing, they won't just "turn on a dime" or change moods every 5 minutes. Happy and sad are not the only emotions they feel.

And not all OCD people are "neat freaks" or totally germaphobic, ritualistic hand-washers. There is fixation on "counting" and "inappropriate thoughts" that they can't get out of their head. True OCD often interferes with daily life--lowering efficiency and it can even take over their life entirely if left untreated.Therapy can help them learn to control their impulses, however.

So, yeah.

This is just something that really annoys me.

I am bipolar. I will admit it. Why have shame? It's not my fault, and I don't think I should be judged for it. I put effort into keeping myself in check. I am responsible with taking my medicine...I know I can be difficult, but I'm not going to use my illness as an excuse for being that way. I want people to understand what it really means to be bipolar. There is SUCH a misperception and it's frustrating.

Other mental illnesses are also very misunderstood, but those concerning bipolarity especially hit me hard.

Manic depression(aka bipolar) runs in my family pretty badly so i know what ya mean. I personally do not have it, but most of my direct family does.
It always irks me when people make the assumption that anyone who is moody is bipolar,

Huh wow, you're also bipolar. So am I. I agree bipolar has a really negative stigma attached to it. Which is complete bullshit. Having Bipolar doesn't make you completely mad & unstable, you just feel some things more intensely than most. I'm fortunate with my bipolar I experience mostly highs far more than the lows. I have the highs very frequently but it is a rare day that I'll get a low.
