blame?

i have the feeling lots of people blame their illnes of mind for everything that happens...

i have intrusive thoughts because i have been diagnosed with this..
i lie because i have a compulsive lieing disorder...

i know that the things that happen can be related to a name some dude in a dusty librairy thought up.. but to say that everything fits into those disorders.. i feel sometimes like there is noone or nothing i can relate to, like this world is totally alien to me.. thats the way i feel when people say that there actions came from some disorder they have been diagnosed with.. it sux

dont know why i posted this.. but i felt like it

Sometimes I think people just use blame their sins on mental illness, and sometimes I believe they really do have a mental illness. It just depends. I myself believe something is wrong with my head. Probably a form of depression, but I haven't been diagnosed with anything. My cutting/self-injury is probably a result from the depression, but I still take responsibility for doing it. I know that it's wrong, and that I shouldn't do it, but I give in and do it anyway.

sorry but I have to go. I'll talk more tomorrow.

I have never met a perfect person. I have met people who thought they were perfect or wanted to make you think they were perfect. Some people have physical problems, handicaps, or illnesses. Some have various mental quarks. Many people can't do well in math, or sing, or draw, or dance, or run fast. We are all different. I happen to have mood swings, but I can do math and hard physical labor. What I'm trying to say is that we just have to make the best of who we are.

I too have been given many labels that could excuse an awaful lot of things. My bad back could earn me a handicaped parking permit. My mental illness could give me lots of dollars to go on disability. But today, I chose to just do the best I can. I'm good at certain things, but poor at others. I feel better and more in control when I do not look for or use excuses for not doing things.
