oooh.......... i feel a rant coming on......... been a while eh?
so im looking over my crack pages this morning, fb,myspace,twitter... and theres this one person (who isnt on my lj) who is constantly "announcing" their depression amongst a myriad of other mental instabilities, including multiple personalities. yet somehow, this person is socially capable and even....... happy around others.
and it pisses me off. i get it that there are ppl out there who have problems, in no way am i denying this, but i am sick to fucking death of these fucking children, no matter their ages, who feel the need to proclaim there are thus and such so many things wrong with them so just skip ahead to the sympathy kkthxbai. if you feel the need to wave a big ole "fucked in the head" flag everywhere you go, im probably going to ignore it, if for no other reason than you dont want me to. its making a mockery of ppl who have real problems and *gasp* work to fix them. all these fucking emo kids who are cutting themselves cuz its somehow cool, then not even bothering to hide the marks. ppl who write these like pages long heartfelt "oh i be so depressed" notes then are practically chipper anytime you see them, the ppl who posture and practically do the woe is me hand to forehead stance. i just want to line them all up and slap them.
if you have problems, work them out. yes, telling your friends you have said problems can be beneficial, however what exactly is helpful to tell complete strangers? instead of doining everything you can to be the mental instability poster child while looking oh so svelte while doing it, maybe you should figure out why you feel the need to act that way. i seriously doubt theres such a surge in hypochondria or munchausen's in the last 10-20 years.
just remember kids, there are no cool kid badges for being fucked in the head. so get the fuck over yourselves and do something to help.
