#9951 Pet peeves.

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.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that is really just a collection of popular opinions that they've heard from other non-psychiatrists, and long-outdated definitions/superstitions/rumors/etc that are not even close to being accurate.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.
It always irks me when people make the assumption that anyone who is moody is bipolar,

#5324 What's your zombie plan?
Posted by Krankykoala on 01 April 2012 - 11:23 PM
Until i know the answers to these questions my strategy would simply be to hunker down for a few days to study and see what the hell im up against.
If they are slow that simplifies things a lot, if they are fast i think 99.97% of the infected area will be dead/turned within a few days time. In such a case i would gather friends and family(many live quite conveniently on my block) and fortify a section of sagemont church at the end of my block. they have enough supplies to feed a small army for weeks at the church already so supplies wouldnt be an issue for this shorter term type of zombie attack, and between my house and my cousins next door we have enough melee/ranged weaponry to support a small army. at least enough to provide protection for those in our group over the weeks it would take for the still-living zombie variety to die off.
With slow zombies i would hunker down at home for a few days with family while fortifying the place a bit to allow for some time to study the zombies and also allow the initial EVERYBODY GET OUT OF THE CITY panic to pass/get eaten away. The initial risk from that quick onset city wide panic would be more of a risk than the zombies. After a few days pass and everyone is either dead and walking around or gotten out(sadly few would make it out in this panic situation) myself and my family would gather supplies and reinforce a few larger vehicles, preferably the armored bank truck at the bank only a few blocks away, we would head north to test the theory placed forward in World War Z of zombies freezing solid in below freezing temperatures(they freeze faster than us because they have no internal body heat which either makes them easy targets or, despite world war z insisting otherwise, would kill them due to the crystallization of the liquids in the brain caused by freezing which should destroy the brain stem, effectively making the cold your best friend.

i enjoy games both console and pc. I enjoy Anime, though i dont really consider myself addicted in that area.
i have not watched network tv in a little over a year aside from one show, The Walking Dead which is amazing and deserves an exception to my all of a sudden randomly initiated no tv rule began roughly a year ago.
