Everything has this stupid label of "disorder". I'm not disordered, neither is most of the people here. We're looking for order and enough of the "dis"sing us already. We get profiled right from the start line, lined up into these neat little studies, profiled into being the good little pegs that neatly fall into the pre-ordered holes.
Our help line, dial 1-800 my spouse/parents beat me. You too can join a support group that will rehash all the crap that goes with that. As if, when a person goes through any trauma is even capable of sorting through the 20 different emotions that layer over top of each other or is strong enough to deal with a single one of them. "you had no control over it", Here's YOUR sign! Of course we didn't have control over it otherwise we would not have been victimized in the first place! It's why therapists are called "the rapist" and for anyone who didn't get that, simply put a space between the first 3 letters of therapist and the rest of the word. Nope, I don't want to talk about it, why in the hell would I want to remember it? I also did not wish to be called a "victim". I'm angry as evident by my words, one of the many signs of post traumatic disorder. Gotta love disorder. No, we lived disorder, we wish to live order, we wish to live peace. Depressed? That's a disorder! Shame on you for being so disordered now.
You ever wonder why people don't talk about things, it's because the second we do there is a label thrown at us, a disorder, seriously we've all been shamed enough.
This isn't to anyone in particular just a rant in general. I ran to the net, felt so out of place reading the "profiles" the explanations of what it all should have been. I felt worse than I did. Numbers 1-10 of my profile did not match so who can I relate to now :confused: That day I broke down and called the abuse line to be greeted with the "hello, this is Catholic Charities". I completely understand that Catholic Charities is not a religious organization when it comes to this type of thing, they are just a foundation and a provider but the last thing I needed was any form of Jesus was going to save me or God bless and I was in no mood to meet in the basement of some church somewhere. Weeks later I realize I'm depressed, not just practicing active avoidance now, but depressed to the point where it's getting in the way of life and faking it isn't working so I looked for ways to get over it. Anyone ever read up on depression? Only 10% is due to physical depression but 90% of the people will suffer from it at least once in their lives aka non-medical, that's me, so why on page 2 where you get into the treatment is drugging a person #1 on the list of things to do? I don't want drugs, I want to ring someone's neck~ oh wait, that would be some form of anger/aggression thing, one of the many symptoms of post traumatic disorder. Once again, thanks for the "disorder"! Why is it that the second anyone says something like that they are aggressive rather than looking at it and saying the truth, they are simply frustrated. I was FRUSTRATED and the second I have to play a game of semantics with someone the conversation is over with.
I'm normal. I just went through some stuff. Most of us are normal, we just went through some stuff or are going through some stuff. I think the major reason why people don't reach out for help is because by the time we look into things on our own we've already been diagnosed 5 times over via the cue cards, labeled with at least 1 "disorder" and the system gets us angrier and more depressed than anything else. My one and only anxiety attack was the 24 hrs before I faced meeting with a counselor.
I didn't seek help because I didn't want a label. I didn't want to be diagnosed. I didn't want to be some statistic. I just wanted a place to unload. Shame on psychology today who's managed to make it so shameful for people to seek out help.
We are in a sad place in society. If you are angry,you are violent aggressive and may potentially blow something up or kills someone. Give me a break!
If you are depressed Prosaic will help. Prosaic is so common now days that you might as well call it Tylenol, everyone knows what it is, as a matter of fact, it's in the spelling dictionary. (roll eyes).
I could rant forever, bottom line is Freud is dead and good riddance. A rose can be just a rose without fitting some neat little ordered profile of some scientific classification and sometimes that rose needs a bit of care to be beautiful and that can all be done without needing to call it diseased and infected. For 90% of us just some water, sunshine and a pinch of Miracle Grow will do us.
Hail to Erickson, Bandler and Dobson, they didn't use labels, they just helped normal people through their ordinary crap. I would love to be able to find one of them or their students.
I hope every "shrink" reads this, I hope they hate what I wrote. I hope they hate it enough to be aware of it.
Cheers to everyone here who is normal! Which is everyone here. So you get a little jumpy when people raise their voices, so you get a little depressed sometimes, so you have a touch of repetitive nature, normal people experience some form of trauma in their lives and will experience a touch of "disorder" as a normal result and normal self protection. Let's become aware of our responses, love each other for our normalcy and move on. I've yet to find the person who wasn't a bit screwed up because of their parents. Newsflash we are NORMAL! Not all of us have suffered the same experiences or to the same extremes but I've seen people flip out over a broken finger nail and scrape on the knee to extremes that those labeled "disordered" would laugh at. Who gets to call who "disordered"! :eek::D
Some of us do need medication and that's all well and good and nothing at all to be ashamed about, for some of us it's temporary, for others it's life long but do not for one second call yourself or allow anyone else to call you "disordered". I am here to tell you, you are normal. We all live our private lives of silent fears and tears, that's what being normal is all about.
