I haven't seen Fight Club, or The Silver Linings Playbook, but I have seen a few other movies that touch on the effects of mental illness and how they can affect everyone around you. But yes I agree sadly, it is a subject that isn't touched on very often, whether it be from shame, stigma, or whatever the reason I think it should be talked about more often, and not brushed off like it's no big deal. I personally know from family experience and experience myself that different mental disorders can affect every aspect of a persons life. Anxiety is a big portion of things I deal with on a day to day basis, but I try to keep it in check as best I can. Hope you have a good Christmas also. And, my real name is Jessica.

For some things yes medicines are overused, for some people they really are needed though to help them function "normally" within society. And yes I use the word normally very lightly as there is no "normal", but I think you'll understand what I mean. I deal with panic and anxiety disorder and PTSD so I know how it can feel to deal with things not everyone else always understands. Can't think of the movies off the top of my head right now, concentration and memory has been a real struggle since the ataxia has set in more and more. But as for the Nazi comment, what some don't realize is that it wasn't just the Jews that were persecuted many gays were too. I agree though that some of what is in movies and television now days is a bit much and seems to not be needed, though not all of it is propaganda. I'm gay myself so I can see both sides of why people speak out on it, because frankly it is an equality issue, not a religious one.

Oh man don't get me started on the Christians screaming about how it's in the Bible how wicked it was and blah blah blah. They Love to take shit out of proportion and twist the facts to fit their sick views on Life. The Story of Sodom and Gomorrah had LESS to do with how homosexual were Evil than the tactics some were doing: people having sex with animals as well as Men getting other Men drunk and raping them. You had gangs of Men walking through Town knocking on people's doors. The Fathers would beg and say "please don't take my Wife/Daughter(s)" to which the Men replied "oh we don't want your Wife/Daughter(s), we've come after your SON(S)". At least that's what I gathered from it but you can't tell ignorant people shit.
And I knew you would bring that up about Nazis persecuting Homosexuals, most Gay people do. 1nce again they fail to mention or know that the Third Reich was a bunch of bloodthirsty megalomaniacal Macho (or "butch") Homosexual Men who were disgusted with the "femmes", the Gay Men with the gender identity issues that walked around flamboyant and effeminate. To them that was not only a insult but a disgrace to Manhood and these were the Gay Men that were persecuted, NOT all Gays. If the Third Reich had won the War EVERYBODY would revert back to the way things were during the Roman Empire where Men sought each other for Pleasure but had sex with Women only for Procreation, which they felt "breeders" were only good for that and that alone. Some sick and twisted views of the World some people have.
Another gripe I have with this issue is the age-old story of that imbalance I see: everytime I hear about Gay Rights it's usually Gay Men yelling and whining and screaming about it, but what about the Lesbians? Usually when their brought up or shown on TV it's on some Soft-Core Porn bullshit only to get Str8 Men and some dumb horny Lesbians off, 1nce again reducing the role of a Woman as a fetishized Sex Object. That to me is wrong on so many levels. I've said this on more than 1 occasion, even to a friend recently--Homosexual Men keep whining about how bad they have it but NOBODY has had it worse on this planet than a WOMAN, and that's a fact. Even to this day you still aren't getting the respect that you deserve. Last I checked civilizations were ruled back in the day by Homosexual Men. You had fierce and ruthless people like Alexander The Great who conquered Nations who was a Homosexual, so spare me that trivial nonsense that I hear from too many people in GLAAD about how bad Homosexuals have had it, their discrimination and hardships on the historical timeline is a blink of an eye, a blip on the radar. 1nce again we can go on and on about this subject and I'm willing to have a nice frank mature discussion about it.
As far as PTSD why do you have it? I'm sure with my fucked-up childhood and other things that have happened to me in my Adult Life I probably would be diagnosed as such but I don't take medication (unless you count smoking weed in intervals when/where I can find it) nor have I seen a Therapist. PTSD is definitely Emotional and a problem these days I'm very certain of that along with Anxiety, things like this are the results of our Modern-Day Society that we're forced to accept these days. Don't buy into the bullshit that these issues occurred because of you and your Mental issues, they've occurred because you've been put in one too many bad situations and wern't able to get over it or wash that stink out of your Soul. This is a major reason (next to it being my Rite of Passage) why I was and still am planning on heading to the Amazon in the imminent Future, I'm more than certain that what I'm searching for down there will help me and I'm more than certain it might help you. I would LOVE it if you could join me one day and if not I hope to bring back what I've learned to help heal you, you definitely need it more than anyone at this moment.
I didn't know you were a Lesbian, this was a shocker. And here I was flirting with you every now and again. I feel like such a jerk now........
excuse me while I go choke myself.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with family over holidays. Good news, mom got Β the car off craigslist so yay for transportation. And I've had PTSD since I was a child, for more than one reason, one being multiple molestations/rapes that occured when I was very young, and also from finding my youngest brother dead when I was 11. Β I don't take medication for it either, as there really isn't a medicine for it, there are some that can help you with sleep if you're still having night terrors, etc but as far as anything to really make any significant change to how things are with PTSD not really, it's not like depression where it's just a chemical imbalance that can be rectified by a drug etc. Β And no need to feel like a jerk, it's flattering when anyone thinks you're attractive and not something i get often, so it made me smile

What? You don't get compliments often? Where the HELL do you live? That's bizarre..........
........oh no, you found your younger brother dead when you were 11? How traumatic, as traumatic as being molested and raped countless times. I can see why you're a Lesbian, from what I've noticed alot of Lesbians were sexually violated as children, Gay Men as well. I can't see how any Adult can take advantage of Children in such a way, that's just evil and despicable to me, really. It's just as bad as physically abusing Children as well as verbally abusing them, there's no reason for that AT ALL. So the only thing that can help PTSD is therapy? Depression is one result from PTSD and I don't take any medication for that as aforementioned, I don't need some mood-controlling substances fucking with me and making me co-dependent for the rest of my Life. Some people may really need it because, as you pointed out, they have some type of imbalance, but for me Art, Animation, Music and Writing are some of my cures that help me through those Dark Times although it's a never-ending battle, sometimes the Darkness takes over and is much stronger that I want it to be and just overpowers and takes my Life over. Some days are definitely better than others.
I'm VERY happy for you and your Mother. Finally you got a car that will get you around town let alone to the hospital! Did you try looking at Police/Sheriff car auctions as well? They usually have some cheap deals? I try to avoid Craigslist as much as I can, I don't trust that site at all but to each their own. I hope she got a good deal for it.
I'm also glad I made your Holiday by making you smile.
