whoops Sorry, I temporarily got you mixed up with CatNipped..
(sorry CN) You are *not* a psycho. I had to go on anti-depressants
myself as a result of a bereavement, and I don't consider myself a
psycho, just reacting to a bad happening. To have to take an anti-
depressant doesn't make you a "pyscho", whatever that is. You are
just sensitive, as are all the nicest people.

No problem Tweed, it takes a while to get all us characters here
straight (we tend to be equally weird, which is what makes this group
so nice to be part of).

Hugs,

CatNipped

It's not us that are wierd, it's everybody else. :-)

Your so right The Mother of one of my Foster babies was scizophrenic
and truly thought she was christened Chritine because she was Jesus Christ
and would say *thats why all the Bells start ringing when I walk into a
Church*
but just talking to her was like talking to anyone and she was a lovely
smiling
happy person, with two older chidren who loved hervery much. Jean.p.

That's funny - I confuse these two, also. I think because they joined
RPCA at about the same time, and are both very entertaining writers whose
writing styles have *something* in common that I can't quite describe.

To have to take an anti-depressant doesn't make you a "pyscho",
whatever that is.

"Psycho" simply means "I don't understand your behavior." Seriously. I've
heard people say, "I'm not crazy, I have bi-polar disorder." or, "Just
because you have schizophrenia doesn't mean you're *crazy*." But if these
things aren't "crazy", then what is? Crazy simply refers to unusual
behavior that has not been explained. When something can be labelled
and treated, then it is no longer scary, and people don't have to be
ashamed to say they have that illness.

But why should they ever be ashamed? Wouldn't it be great if people
could make the logical leap to say: They used to think that people who
heard voices were "crazy", and then they found out that those people
have a chemical disorder called schizophrenia. And they used to think
that people whose moods changed constantly from hyped-up to catatonic
with depression were "crazy", but then they found out that those people
have a disorder called bi-polar. So maybe all the so-called weird
behaviors we still don't understand and still call "crazy" (or "psycho")
are just not-yet-explained disorders, that are no more scary or weird
or threatening than the ones that have been explained and treated. And
that we don't have to call anyone "crazy".

Or else, we're all crazy, and proud of it!

Thank you. I've done that. I'm better now but I sure don't want to be
reminded by seeing those images replayed on television.


I think there's a place in our hearts where, after a suitable time (which is
different for everybody)....tragedy and grief just needs to be tucked away. But
the media doesn't let us do that. They make sure we are wallowing around and
re-living it as long as possible. Rant over about the media.
As horrific as the Oklahoma City bombing was, and we were living just 10 miles
away, it gives me a great deal of comfort to realize that out of all that,
there was one, tiny little victory. My daughter was 18, she got so distraught
she left school to give blood and became extremely upset there was no hands-on
help she could do. It inspired her to become an RN. She is 27 now and is the
best, smartest, most compassionate RN In the whole world. (IMO, heh)
