1. let's go kick their asses
really, i think the way it is used is as- anything but actual mental illness. that is something that makes sense. that is something defined. all the other things that don't make any sense are in the basket of "crazy".
but i get what you mean. people are stupid. don't take it personally, tho.

if someone needs their asses kicked, tho, let me know.

Sharpened claws and flashing fangs.Damn I hate,haste hate it when they lump mental illness and psychiatric injury(PSTD) in with cult victims and psychopath assholes killing people and doing it because"gawd" said so.What a crock 'o'shit!!

Psychopaths are NOT mentally ill dammit!! Thier personality hurts OTHER people,the psychopath feels no pain or anything over the shit they do.

But for a non-psychopath just being around a goddamn psychopath piece of shit can drive the targeted person to lose it!!


Psychopaths don’t exhibit the manias, hysterias, and neuroses that are present in other types of mental illness. Their main defect, what psychologists call “severe emotional detachment”—a total lack of empathy and remorse—is concealed, and harder to describe than the symptoms of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. This absence of easily readable signs has led to debate among mental-health practitioners about what qualifies as psychopathy and how to diagnose it. Psychopathy isn’t identified as a disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,

3. Sometimes it bothers me and sometimes it doesn't.
I guess it depends on my mood or how sensitive I am that day. Usually I just let it go, and don't take it personally. I think more and more people are aware that mental illness isn't the same as the terrorist brand of "crazy". Some still lump all craziness into one box, but even though people throw the term around casually, I think most of them know the difference between true mental illness and fundy whackjobs. The ones that don't I try not to let get to me.
