But this being the Bible-Belt South, I'm afraid of vandalism. I'll try and keep this not full-fledged religious... I'm Christian, and apparently we're not supposed to support gay marriage- I'm not saying I'm for/against it, but I think that if two people love each other, if they're the same sex, let them get married. Unfortunately we have people who would disagree- as you said, living here in the South people disagree. To quote Chris Rock in 'The Longest Yard', "Stop the violence! Why can't we all get along?"

Stormtron Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I can't even pretend like I would take the intellectual high road here. Beat their ass or at least try. Even if you lose, you'll still feel better about yourself and gain the respect of a few people. Then again, I can't relate to being the "Mr. Sensitive" type at all, and snitching would just cause you more problems where I'm from. Also, if you really think it's because you're an atheist, be sure to scream some cool shit like "WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW?!!" after you punch in their face.

Bipolar and ADHD get thrown around a lot. Re: Bipolar, to be diagnosed with this disorder you need to have the extreme highs and lows. By the tone and content in your posts it sounds like you are experiencing extreme lows... but what about the highs? What is your behavior like when you are not depressed? ADHD gets thrown around as well. I feel the doctors of today are more eager to diagnose a child as ADHD rather than doing some investigating to find out what the real cause of their misbehavior is. Oh yea I have extreme highs and lows. And I am definitely ADHD!!! You can trust me on that one! You can be bipolar and just have the lows, or just have the mania. I have friends with both problems.

Are you a cutter? Yes I am. I went 8 weeks before I cut myself in my sleep the past 2 nights. I don't get this. You cut yourself in your sleep? This sounds like something that needs to be looked into by pros. i've never heard of this phenomenon. Unfortunately it is more common than you think. I'd never heard of it before either. It FREAKED ME OUT when I saw what happened. The act of cutting is trully a demonic one and is a serious problem that should be delt with, and not by a lame know it all shrink. The fact that some do this in there sleep is very disturbing. You should seek some spiritual council in this matter, in my opinion. Its ok, we all mock what we trully don't understand, but my post was dead on accurate. I was taken back by "demonic". While not to dismiss or minimize the seriousness of the problem, I felt demonic was a strong word. Or did actually mean demon posession? I agree...it is anything but demonic. It is a psychological condition that is becoming more prevalent amongst teens. It is seen more commonly in girls than in boys. It is an act of self-mutilation that somehow is supposed to supress the unwanted emotions that individual is feeling. I have yet to hear of someone doing it in their sleep. But I would definitely seek help before you hurt yourself any further. Sorry where my question led. I definitely didn;t mean those kinds of pros. I am aware of the conscious harming themsleves but was uaware of those asleep doing so. Obviously, this is dangerous. I wonder if it is a combination of depression and some sleeping disorder and if it might be possible to harm others without being aware of it. I do have a sleeping disorder but am not dangerous to myself or others. The closest I have ever come to getting hurt was leaping over a king sized bed in the middle of the night. I woke up in mid-flight quite surprised. What is the official diagnosis for this if you don't mind me asking? (please, no more demon possession diagnoses). I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder since I was in 7th grade which was about 3 or 4 years ago. I also have ADHD and Epilepsy. Please be sure you are not being misdiagnosed.

Yea I usually just get the lows. I get highs sometimes but not often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
