Lynne, though it is true you cannot catch a mental illness from meeting a person with a mental illness, I have found that train of thought is contagious. I think it's part of the reason we separate ourselves from people who are unhealthy. I don't see people with problems as something horrible or wrong, I share your beliefs that we need to do alot less stigmatizing, and ostracisizing of those of us who struggle in our human community. I've had my share of issues, and there's crazy stigma attached even today about harmless conditons such as "a.d.d." (Though I think instead of labeling people as a.d.d. so much, I think they should look into a person's past, ie traumatic events can interrupt a person's development of organization.) Anyhoo, I'm just pointing out that part of what is frightening sometimes to people I think in theory, is how we all adopt parts of each other realities, and the possibility of adopting someone else's reality, maybe even seeing things from their perspective. Whatchoo think?
Hey Chris:
That 5yr old boy you have records from is 50 yrs old now. Maybe you could try to find the person and give them to him. It doesn't sit right with me for him to have been that young, an adult now, and you sharing his personal information while he's possibly running around somewhere minding his own business.
I know you didn't share it here, just a possible solution for you both.
Has anyone seen 'Attack of the Killer Clowns from Outer Space'? I saw it first time when I was bout 10, funny, scary! Just last night I watched a new horror flick, this chick is in an abandoned building from her past and picks up a clown doll laying on the floor. Wait-no, maybe it was just a russian doll. But it was a doll in an abandoned building any way...
what's behind door number one?
50 toothbrushes! Had you chose door number two you would have won 2 million dollars!
Oh, so sorry, but you did win the toothbrushes!
