what’s a problem in society that u rarely see satirized

i hate the terms sociopath and psychopath

people on another server keeps calling someone a psychopath

these terms mean different things among different groups, and those definitions are often contradictory or don't have any solid backing

antisocial personality disorder has its own criteria and is a way to refer to people with disorders without grouping them in with exaggerated caricatures

there's plenty of misinformation around other mental disorders that are diagnosed, like bipolar or OCD, but I am okay with using those terms because the misinformation doesn't suggest that the person with them is violent, whereas popular ideas of both sociopaths and psychopaths are people who are so monstrous they can be considered nonhuman

what?

being bipolar doesn't mean you tend to be violent or cause violence

i am not sure what you're saying

bipolar II exists

don't equate bipolar to violence tho

bipolar II is depression and hypomania

and mania in bipolar I can be expressed in many different forms. some of them are increased irritation or aggression, others are very high energy and feeling good

also if you're in a mental hospital it's probably not a good place to get a read on the average person with a disorder

i don't even know why we're talking about this because this isn't relevant to any of the points I was trying to make

unstable - yes, if it's not being treated. violent - no, not a helpful generalization to make

outbursts are kinda different tho

depressed people can have outbursts

bipolar is marked more by week + long periods of mood changes

violent outbursts aren't something that make it separate from depression bc you can be depressed & have violent outbursts

its not an opinion piece

but ok

long periods of mania and depression, or hypomania and depression

these periods are marked by big changes in mood, energy levels, and activity levels, and last from 4 days to months

referring to it as "instability" implies shorter, more sudden changes

someone with bipolar may have 2 weeks of mania where they're extremely productive and energetic, but unable to sleep, and then may have 2 months of depression

someone with bipolar II is more likely to have shorter periods of hypomania, followed by long periods of depression

mood swings are distinct from bipolar

*it's different*

it's not more severe

it's hypomania, which is different from mania

bipolar I and II can be equally severe, and simply have different symptoms, because they are different forms of the same disorder

and why does the treatment matter

i mean

was that trying to make a point or just a statement

bipolar is treated with a lot of the same medications as schizophrenia

idk how mood swings are treated

2 months isn't long tho

i was meaning 6 months to 2 years

i'm just talking about things relative to each other

i'm not saying it doesn't suck to feel awful for 2 months

i wasn't clear on that one because i was just using random numbers for the first example

that was my bad

and the examples were random

no???

they're different. it's not that one is "just a less x" version of the other

shorter hypomania, with longer periods of depression. if you want to think of that as "just a somewhat more stable bipolar" you do you

bipolar II depressive episodes are also often more severe than I's

i didn't name it

schizophrenia also has a lot of misconceptions >__>

yeah a lot of it is disconnection with reality

but sometimes it just affects your ability to think clearly or manage emotions or relate to others

the misconceptions of psychopathy and sociopathy

"braindead"?

that's not what it does

I think I might have a lung infection of some kind

thoughts on homestuck? is it badly written?

how

i'm gonna write a huge analytical wall to prove a point

in regards to, "my opinion is that homestuck is a resonant work told through unconventional means which explores the body of a theme and forms a through line into the teenage and young adult experience, thoroughly exploring themes in a way which has not occurred before and due to the length and exhaustive nature of homestuck probably won't be explored in such depth again, making it a milestone work for internet-distributed fiction and for comics, and not a work whose flaws overpower its central ideas, as bad claims. i also don't think the pace is bad."

it is simultaneously my opinion that homestuck is a masterpiece, and that problem sleuth, in some limited ways, is better

and i could go on an entire 20 minute analysis session going through just a few reasons why i like it

explain

explain

how do you make a fruit basket

i turn 18 tomorrow and i dont wanna

only because other people say its a big milestone

things aren't changing for me

im not going to college at 18, im not living on my own, nothing's changing for me

and I'm not as functional as most people my age. I'm going a lot slower because of my mental health. I'm behind everyone and people think I'm lazy and it's just going to get worse once I'm 18

I've never worked, I can't talk to people, I can't drive, I'm not going to college, I can't handle common environments, I spend a disproportionate amount of my free time lying down. I can tell people think I can do better. Most people my age do better

and I really wish I could look people in the eye and have a conversation -- I wish I could talk to people

i love how YouTube just doesn't fucking work
