Side effects they don't advertise

I remember being inpatient at Bradley Hospital in the days leading up to Christmas. Initially it’s startling how many children require acute psychiatric care for the holidays. I had been there since before thanksgiving, so I was ending my days there, but December 21st, 22nd, 23rd…children were happy to be there and came in troves. I just wanted to go home, I couldn’t understand why they chose to be there.

When those kids opened up in process group, a common thread was among them. Many had attempted suicide, those same children were all affiliated with an adoption agency or in a foster care program.

I never lived without my parents physically being planted on Earth, but I know how it feels to be neglected and down trodden from those very same entities the other kids on the unit lacked. And in a sense, our feelings towards family were quite similar. A question, “What’s the point?” was often asked.

When I feel unconditional love coming my way I question it as well. For those times it isn’t, “What’s the point?” but rather, “What’s the expiration date on these niceties?” 

Because of my childhood I’m literally waiting for something to explode from others around me. I take compliments lightly, store them away, and hope they are true. This gets in the way sometimes and I truly feel terrible about it. When my boyfriend says anything flattering or love-y to me, I test it to no end, so to call his bluff, or something. Waiting for that explosion, waiting for the untimely curtain call.

I’m hoping that over time I will put a stop to my insecurities tied to insecure upbringings.

When I stop and think about things, I just want to lay down and cry.

This is a little propaganda thing on why YOU should defend your country. Not only do they pay for your education after so many years of duty, but they also provide you with “cool” opportunities to..work with bombs. Neat-o! Oh, and way down at the end of list..no, before the cool bomb jobs posting and after the points about being financially set for life..they mention honor as this minute little thing that a few buy into and join for. But otherwise, it’s all about the cash. But somehow…since being in the military is this huge undertaking that takes courage and integrity while bringing to light “acceptable” forms of mental illness (PTSD) in it’s wake, it’s seen as acceptable and almost overlooked in the case of where taxes go to. You could be funding a former Marine’s education…because that was his exact aim when he enlisted 6 years prior.
The point I’m trying to make is that, yes there are some people who unjustly use a percentage of the average worker’s income via the government, but not all people with their own agenda look as you would think. Some are more..camouflaged. Likewise, not all people that are financially assisted by the government are abusing or are not in need of the support.

Feet, don’t fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart it breaks
Every step that I take,
But I’m hoping at the gates,
They’ll tell me that you’re mine

Walking through the city streets,
Is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on the Friday nights
Can you make it feel like home,
If I tell you you’re mine?

:/

I could almost cry right now.

Terrible part 3

It’s hard to find a stereotype for the right because the stereotype doesn’t exist. But that’s assuming the British male model on the left fits the criteria below him to a tee. Unless he’s the author or any other guy who has commented on this saying “so true”, it’s unlikely that he does. But that doesn’t make him more or less “forever alone”. It’s hard to judge just by looking at a person what their life circumstances and disposition truly are. Everyone gets a chance one in awhile to prove what it is that they’re truly about. And if at the end of that proving stage he doesn’t get a second date or her phone number, it could be for a number of reasons. But there are always girls out there who would love to be looked down upon and called unattractive because they happen to be single when you are…in 2012..well past the suffrage..

terrible part 2

Clearly this was made by a male who believed he fit the description to the left and wanted to rationalize why he was single. Too bad he didn’t know that attractive and unattractive girls alike generally don’t fall for close minded, over assuming misogynist men who see women as too simple minded to enjoy their superior taste in video games, computers, politics, sci fi, etc.

Terrible

Whoever made this is just a horrible person. Not every single person fits those descriptions, while not every person in a relationship is free from at least one of the criteria.
Having a mental illness and being treated for it doesn’t mean you are “crazy”, have multiple cats, are “unattractive” by society’s standards, nor does it mean you are and always will be single.having a mental illness and actively engaging yourself in treatment means you are taking charge of your condition and working to make it more manageable for YOU. If a potential suitor wouldn’t date you because of your condition and shudders at the fact that you must seek treatment for it, run the other way.
In reality, this atrocious stab at humor should be much shorter and all-encompassing than it is.
People are single for numerous reasons. Some prefer it, for some it isn’t the right time. The only true obstacle for getting a date is close mindedness and false assumptions as displayed by this entirely untrue picture/text thing someone made using pictures they don’t own that they claim are there’s by posting this and statements that are completely untrue that they claim to be held by themselves and everyone else.

People don’t like you, honey, that’s a good sign
Most people don’t know nothing but opinions
Very few find the facts
You keep trying to make them all side with you
You’re gonna waste all your time
Because you can’t get ‘em, shouldn’t want ‘em, don’t need ‘em
So move on, be righteous and relax.

It’s time to transfer when..

the professor of the class you’re most excited for assumes everyone in the class is a freshman and will therefore copy and paste from Wikipedia when you ask him if there will be any papers.

I thought this was college…
