The door was indeed closed and her flat was right beside the garage.....I had a particularly leery V8 at the time

Much better thanks:thumb:

I'm really glad you're back Cheese. It's nice having someone on here that knows a lot about our country and the idiots who run it lol. Did you end up moving to another place in Christchurch?

Thanks.It's kinda nice to be noticed lol. Sadly yes. Can't say i'm all that fond of living in a black of flats, but it beats the alternative

'My son is mentally ill,' so listen up - CNN.com

This article is hitting deep, really deep. I used to be the exact same way, I don't suffer from psychosis, but frequent hospitalizations when I was younger, and how people treated me really fucked me over. They chucked the bi-polar tag on me, and it changed everything, how people viewed me, how I ended up with a fucked head for no other reason than genetics. I wanted to be dead every day of my life in middle school, I had episodes, and would cry nonstop because I wasn't even in control of my own head, people despised me because of an illness I couldn't even control. Even to this day, I wish I could erase that part of my life forever. I had caused so many problems for my family, and I still think my mother would have been so much happier if I hadn't been born. I can't help but think people being prejudiced towards others with mental illness is some form of social darwinism.

Their opinions stem from having no concept or clue about mental illness and it's affect on your sense of self worth. My parents are very much like this telling me there's no such thing as mental illness, it's just an excuse to make people pity you and to that end I despise them for it

I want no ones pity for what I've endured just understanding

It makes me sad that there's people like those who think that way

It seems like there will always be a negative stigma attached to mental illness that's why you limit the people that you tell.

People can't accept what they don't understand.

One would expect to be able to tell their parents what's not right without the need for scorn, derision and "Sort your sh*t out boy you're an embarassment"

and the c*nts wonder why i have little to no communication with them
