Disclaimer: I have a laundry list of mental disorders, and i still found the original post funny.
Alright, so someone posted this on MyLifeIsAverage:
Earlier this week, I had been sent to the nurse after donating blood. As I lay on my side for 15 minutes, I proceeded to read all the health posters on the wall. One of them said "Signs of Mental Illness: social isolation, lack of appetite, bizarre behavior, and irrational decisions." I now realize what Bella from New Moon is promoting. MLIA
I actually clicked the comments to read them, something I don't usually do because it's gotten full of hateful responses like "god I hate cliches"(hello, cliches are average).
I found this thread gem(my thoughts in bold):
Person A: how would you all like it if your boyfriend left you?It would suck, and then I would wallow for a week and that would be it, I'd go try to get over it. put aside the whole vampire thing. i don't think you would be too happy. No, I wouldn't, but I wouldn't become a statuezombie with night terrors that sound like contractions, either so just SHUT UP about twilight, i'm sick of hearing about it. if you excuse me, im going to go read harry potter. THATS RIGHT. I LIKE BOTH. GASP, BECAUSE YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE EVER TO LIKE BOTH. OMG. STOP THE PRESSES
Person B's response to that: My ex left me after 4.5 years. I didn't go months of walking in a zombie state and trying to kill myself to hear his voice. I grieved and was depressed, but not to the degree of Bella. It's not healthy to have the level of obsession she did. She should be seeing a psychotherapist, not a werewolf.-clapclap- very well done, madam.
Person C's response to person B: It wasn't a boyfriend. It was her souldmate.HER SOULDMATE, GUYS, SOULDMATE, DIDN'TCHA KNOW? THAT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN A SOULMATE True love. The only reason Edward was turned into a vampire is because he was SUPPOSED to be with Bella (at least that's what I got from it)....um. okay then. If it was just another boyfriend, then yes, it would be bad. But it's not. But what I find humorous is that in romeo and juliet, didn't juliet commit suicide when romeo died (never read the book or seen the movie, just what I've heard) so why is that considered a beautiful love story, where as twilight is an example of an unhealthy relationship?because of something called good writing and hundreds of other things that I'm not going to even try to mention.
Also from Person C, in response to the original post: You said that as if mental illness is a choice, that people choose to have eating disorders and depression and other illnesses. They don't.Okay, well, that's technically correct, even though it's said in a rather simplified way. It is an ILLNESS, just as the Flu is an illness, Cancer is an illness, and Aids is an illnessNo. Mental disorders are DISORDERS. The flu is caused by a virus, and cancer is (most of the time) genetic, while AIDS is a contracted DISEASE. To say something is promoting mental illness downplays the seriousness of it, which could cause people to die. Bet your proud of this post now. Sorry, I took it out of context, but seriously, its disgusting.
..............um. Yeah, because I can take some meds and my Bipolar and OCD just ~*Magically*~ go away. With ~*~*Magic*~*~ |
