Here we can all be heard for a little while

And the fireworks have started. Hope they don't go on too long.

A rock choir scared the living daylights out of me! Can everyone really sing?

I do like the idea of laughing a lot though. My DD laughs a lot and this is one of the things I love about her so much.

Why is it that when we grow up we forget to laugh?

No of course not everyone in a rock choir can sing! Some people sound awful,on their own! That's the beauty of it......when you're all singing together, the bad ones blend in!

The whole point is to have a go! There's such a dynamism about all producing a song together!
Plus you have a laugh! Did I mention that?



Code! slap wrist! You can sing! So what if you sound awful? You won't in a rock choir!

Youtube videos are good....

I've never been able to do a french plait (the one where it takes up all the haor of that makes sense) so sat watching a youtube video with Swain and was practising on him :rotfl: (strange yes but he does like having his hair played with and i can happily sit there for a few hours plaiting it its relaxing....)

I really want you as a lodger now Beki.

I love have my hair played with. I find it totally relaxing and love having my hair brushed as well. I would let you practice on me :rotfl:


I have lots of layers so plaits will look a bit messy on me.

*Tiny rant* Schizophrenia is not MPD/ DID! They are entirely different conditions with totally different causes. Schizophrenics do not have multiple personalities! Ever! People with solely MPD/DID do not have psychosis! (Unless they have both like me but they are still totally separate conditions). One is a biochemical condition and the other is a form of PTSD with very different symptoms, they only ever overlap if you by chance happen to have both. One can be described as illness because the cause is physical in nature, the other is an emotional disorder caused by intense trauma as a child. They do not have the same origins and do not have similar symptoms at all. *End tiny rant*

I know we all know this here (and I love you all for it) but I have read three times today where people have confused the terms and it is one of my pet peeves. I tried replying to someone who was confused and was told "It's all the same thing by different names". It really isn't, not even slightly! It isn't fair on people with either condition and causes misunderstandings of what is really happening.

And breathe...

Thanks that one thing I like about this thread is that I am learning so much. And there is a wide spectrum of conditions that tend to get lumped under the same name.

I wonder if its dumbed down to make it easier for people to understand.

Who knows.

That's very possible, Calley. I know that no one here confuses the two which I am forever grateful for but there is a huge amount of the population who seem to do so. It isn't good for anyone with either conditions to have false assumptions made about what they are going through and it drives me mad. It sounds minor but it is hard enough coming to terms with either condition without other people making presumptions about you. Obviously it doesn't affect me because I do happen to have both but there are a lot of people with one or the other that all get lumped together and it's so unfair on them. I get very upset for those people, it's one of the few things that gets to me along with people confusing psychopathic and psychotic. I am quite psychotic at times but not even slightly psychopathic. None of these conditions are similar at all in reality, not in symptoms, cause or treatment.

I shall get over it until I see it again and then probably rant some more. Don't mind me, this is the only place I can speak about these things and feel like people hear me.

The silly doctor I saw the other day asked why I had anxiety when all babies tests were fine. I explained I wasn't really anxious about baby. She then asked what I was anxious about, and I told her it wasn't one thing in particular. She told me it wasn't anxiety then as you have to be anxious about a particular thing.
Doesn't bode well when even doctors don't really understand mh conditions

Waves_and_Smiles

Argh how frustrating, Katy! You are so right, if doctors can't understand it than the rest of population often don't. Incidentally, free-floating anxiety which is what describe is a well-documented condition, she should have known that!

WaS,

To be truthful when I was a teen I was under the impression that it meant you had MPD.

But that was the way things where back then. There is still such little re-info. Unless you know someone who has that certain condition then you really don't know or understand.

Because mental health is not like a broken leg that people can see then they don't understand. And another major thing is that the brain is so complex we still don't understand it not sure we ever will.

Yours

Calley
