Do I?
And how do you know that? This is exactly the reason why I have been evasive and stupid. Because the internet is something where people just can't help building mental images of people. Maybe that's why I act stupid somedays and 'pretend' to be all serious the next.
Without watching me go about my day to day life the fact is you have no clue about me other than what I choose to tell you, or let you know.
Trying to gauge someone's temper levels through text is pretty much impossible.. I'm a pretty complex person yes, that's for sure. But I certainly don't get riled or upset. If it ever came to that there's a power button, or the X on the top corner of IE.
I do say stupid things that come out as rude/sexist/arrogant and whatever. I know this. That's why I went to the psychs and started having sessions to find out why. See, for years as a child they 'thought' it was all down to the shock I had dealt with as a kid. And that it was perfectly normal for me to do those things because of the mental trauma I had suffered. But then with the years came the reality that things had not improved or gotten better. Thus, there was something wrong. And it turns out that by me being in a state of admital (if thats even a word) and wanting to get help and actively seeking it I found answers to the questions I had been looking for.
Why do certain things make no sense to me? why do I prioritise certain (stupid and pointless) things over the real pressing issues? Why do I laugh at funerals?
As I say. Humans are very complex. Some are more simple than others but still very complex none the less.
What it all boils down to at the end though is I am me. This I know now. I talk too much, I bunny on and I say stupid things. I'm childish. So shoot me I suppose.
It's not something I have control over. Hence being diagnosed mentally ill. Maybe you have never met any one that is mentally ill but at the same time 'mostly' 'normal' (if normal even exists). Usally when someone says "I have a mental illness" people say "aww, there there, wipe the drool from his chin". But as time goes on as a human race we are beginning to realise that there are other mental illnesses that people can have without running around going "boolalalalalala" and having multiple personalities etc.
I have met other people with mild autism. They weren't as honest as me, maybe because the world is very judgemental. Me? I don't give a fuck. The first thing out of my mouth is "Look, I have Autism and bipolar. I can and will make no sense sometimes. I can drift off into a trance and be thinking about cows in fields, etc, but that's who I am"
At least I tell people. Can you imagine the complete cunt I would look if I went about a day to day life pretending everything was ok and that I was completely normal?
Most with mental illnesses do. Too stubborn to accept, too stupid to look for help. The latest pills I am on (Risperidone) are pretty fantastic. They make me chilled (well, alot more chilled than normal) and I get more done (I can concentrate more).
They don't perform a lobotomy and change who I am and how my brain works. Not that I really want them to. I'm happy with myself, something that's very important. I have visual defects (one of my front teeth has been broken in half since I was 18 from a fight with my brother) and I have left it. I'm not vain, I'm not good looking. But I'm happy and I don't want to change that.
