So, i'm apparently 'grumpy' a lot of the time. Or maybe their timing is just wrong? Anyway. I apparently have unpredictable mood swings, that are triggered by nothing and i'm always in a bad mood.
Now, if this was a person who knew me inside out and had known me for a long time, through different phases and moods, and spent varying amounts of time with me I might actually bother to acknowledge what they're saying. But it's not. It's someone who knows me through someone else, has never met me properly or spent any real time with me and also has caught me a few times online when I've been a little ticked off, to say the least.
Now, I don't know if i'm speaking for more than just myself here but I do not like speaking on MSN, full stop. I don't like online chatting to 'get to know' people or whatever. I think you get to know people at an unforced, natural pace, depending on the person and most importantly.. IN PERSON. So, incidents before this online chat, the fact that it was an online chat and the general bad timing and natural mood cycle of a rational human being apparently mean i'm bi polar.
Yep, I'm apparently bi polar. Now, if this was someone who had experience in mental disorders, or in fact just Bi polar disorder I'd be more accepting. If this was someone who even knew me a little bit more than some of my taste in movies and some of my taste in anime, I'd be more accepting.
Also, if this was someone who had the first clue about anything to do with me, or in fact the idea that if someones pissed off they are NOT going to be all sunshine, lollipops and fluffy kittens.. I'd be more accepting. My point?
STOP TALKING OUT OF YOUR FRIGGIN' ARSEHOLE MATE.
Now, I'm not dismissing that I may have something wrong with my mood cycle, or that I may be more prone to bad moods than good moods. I know i'm moody, hell if you don't know that about me then you're seriously out of the loop of vix. But in my opinion, I'm not going to jump aboard the mental disorder boat and claim to have a mental disorder based on the uneducated views of an egotistical male. Yeah, Did you guess it was a guy who said this? Well you should of. Not to be sexist but a lot of the time, I am always challenged by males who think they know everything about everything.
Now, i'm not being funny, no matter how understanding and how well researched you are, you will NEVER be able to tell me how I should be feeling when I have PMT.. alright? You are not female, you do not have periods and you sure as hell have no right to tell me how i should be feeling until you have your own vagina, complete with stomach cramps, feelings of low self worth and general shittiness. Point taken? Thankyou.
Anyway, so this uneducated, unexperienced guy tells me i'm bi polar. Because the past two times he's spoken to me on MSN, i've been in a bit of a bad mood. One because some *idiot* of a fool decided it'd be appropriate to wind me up. And another because I hadn't done my uni work. Notice both these moods could have been avoided by myself, if I had not of let things get to me, right? I know I let things get to me too much but that's how I do. Just like some people compete with anything others say, some shy away from confrontation, these are all personality traits and lacking the ability to not get wound up easily is sometimes mine.
The main reason this really irritated me is because it has apparently become a trend to have mental disorders as of late, from what I've witnessed. So you've got Bi polar disorder, okay... when did you get diagnosed? 'errm... i just knew myself'
Right. So you've diagnosed yourself with a mental disorder, do you even know what Bi polar is?
'Yeah it's mood swings'.
Wrong. That's just the tip of an iceberg, and you know nothing of how it is to be a normal, functioning human being, let alone someone dealing with an actual illness. Get off the bandwagon and stop trying to be 'cool'. If you genuinely had Bi polar disorder you *would not* update your status with it every two seconds and you certainly wouldn't tell everyone you meet within the first few seconds of talking to them.
Another point i'd like to make, is that if a female has a spine, and a brain, and also can articulate her point clearly, concisely and with no room for confusion or in fact questioning, this makes her a bitch. Or again, Bi Polar. Yeah, thanks. So because I can stick up for myself, get a goddamn education and tell you to politely remove yourself and never speak to me again, this means i'm a bitch?
I'm sorry I won't pretend to know nothing to make yourself feel better. I also apologise for not having my head stuck in the latest celebrity gossip whilst constantly planning my next shopping trip. I apologise profoundly for not being another airhead who only thinks about boys and how to please them, I'm sure that makes me a terrible person, I just don't bare thinking about.
So anyway, back to the point. I'm not going to say I have a disorder just because someones told me I have. It's not all going to click into place like their was a piece missing in my oh so pitiful life that this lovely, brilliant white knight has delivered to me by coming up with such a well informed observation.
It really pisses me off that it's 'cool' to be mentally ill, although I find that term a little harsh. I also find it ridiculous that any female with an educated opinion can be accused of such things as well as the usual frigid bitch, cow thing.. etc. And all other names girls who don't wear yo-yo knickers get. I know people who do have such conditions as Bi polar and Borderline. They didn't tell me in the first five minutes, in the first week, or even in the first few months because to them it is an aspect of them and an illness, and is treated like one. They don't make a big deal about it and expect everyone to pussy foot around them. To them, if they're being a dick, you tell them, and they get over it and have the spine to apologise for it if they were out of order.
It's the same with Dyslexia, it's been confirmed as existing and now apparently everyones dyslexic. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I just think it's another excuse for laziness most of the time. Just learn to spell, focus on doing your work, try to improve yourself. Rather than using it as an excuse to get out of doing homeworks, or assignments. It's pathetic. We all get lazy, just accept it and stop making excuses because you're taking help away from the people who actually need it. Same applies for mental disorders. You want Bi Polar disorder to get the same name? If everyone had it, it's not a disorder. it's nature. Stop pretending as the real people who need the help and medication just get shunned.
It is NOT cool to lie about things. It does not make you cool to have Dyslexia or Bi Polar disorder. Note the word disorder. It's not funny to pretend to be mentally ill or disabled in some way just to seem more interesting. Are you really that boring? Seriously, grow up. At this rate you'll be telling me you have an imaginary friend and i'm the weird one for not being able to see him.
Remember the Emperor's New Clothes? (those who haven't, READ IT, might be a wake up call to some people)
My point exactly.
On the other hand, it doesn't make people who have such conditions uncool :)
But seriously, what's going to be the next trend, deadly diseases?
'Oh, i'm so badly done to, i'm dying, i have AIDS, therefore I can't take responsibility for any of my actions'
Grow. A. Pair.
If you're that boring, get a flippin' hobby. I hear auto-mutilation is back in fashion, quick, be the first to do it! It must be a real trend, you read it on the internetzzzzzz!
