Consider yourself forewarned.....I'm pissed. Yup, fired up and fiesty. Since when does the disabled get treated like.....a retard? I am sure that all have good intent. It is often human nature to call, text, ring, chat, stop by, check in, etc. etc. when one is ill. Let me help and keep humanity safe and avoid the wounds that can happen when dealing with the mentally wacko.

1- Unless the disturbed ask or initiate conversation.......good chance, they don't want any.

2-The reason they have a flat expression on their face is because they aren't feelin' nothin'!

3- If is fruitless to try to "cheer up" especially with socialism.

4- The depressed favorite place.......is alone.

5- Please, tell me one more time to smile, cheer up, and that things are ok. I'ld like to carve those words out in wood and shove them up your ass and then repeat them to you......Do you think you'll feel better then?

6- The wacko are well aware that they are inadequate and not coping. So, make us feel better by continually asking to help. Do something more for us to feel bad about not accomplishing on our own.

7- If you see tears. Please, ask are you ok? And when we say yup. Don't follow it with "you look like you are about to burst into tears".

8-When you see the tears. and you've already been told I'm ok. DO NOT ASK AGAIN. DONT HUG Just shut-up and ignore or find another subject.

9- Unless you really truely understand....don't pretend or state to.

10-While we're in bed or down. Ignore us, then in passing or on your way out please give us a long to do list like we're up and runnin' like normal. Ignorant insensitve jerk.

11- Humor is fine to use with someone when they are also using humor. If they are quiet, fiesty, frustrated etc. Humor will likely get a "screw you" or "watch me" response.

12- If you call, and don't get an answer. Leave a message. Don't keep calling. We haven't forgotten how our phone works. We'll call when we're ready. Keep in mind, sometimes we have YOUR best interest at heart.

Here's an example of #10. Having the rare trust of hearing what a whackos fears or thoughts that come about in the bath tub is a tough knowledge to tow. It also makes the wacked feel vulernable. When trying to be funny about " no you wouldn't, you don't even like to get your face wet" at the wrong time. Can give an urge- when feeling ballsy to determine to prove one wrong. Tell me that something is going to happen or what to do. I'll call you on the floor and I'm not movin'. I don't care how stupid or insignificant, The wacko can be insanely stubborn and show some sharp claws.

The reason one gets labled as mentally is because there is no tellin' where they will be mentally at times. We can change our moods as many times as you change your underwear in a week. There are even times they change daily. Others we get trapped in one for a while. We don't know what tomorrow will bring, we don't plan for anything because there is no crystal ball. We survive....we adapt.....and day by day we pray that we make it through it. The best success measure is takin out or scarring the least amount of people with you on the ride.
