to be bipolar one had to BE depressed from time to time, not merely cause depression in others

*snerk*

I can so see Rodney trying to diagnose not only his own mental disorders but those of everyone around him!

[wneleh]

Yeah, and even occassionally writing people memos detailing them.

*blinks* Sheppard is schizoid! I hadn't really thought about it before, but he totally, totally is. Huh.

[wneleh]

I'd never even heard of it until I was reading through personality disorders for this story. He's, like, the poster boy (though we, of course, also know all about his sekret angsty core :-) )

it's just like Rodney to want to define & categorize those pesky and inexplicable human variables, even in himself, isn't it?

[wneleh]

And a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

Awww, I love it! :) Totally perfect for Rodney, and I love the diagnosing.... :-D

[wneleh]

:-)

I just want to take Rodney and convince him that all people have value, even himself. OTOH, given Atlantis's death & injury rate, global empathy might not be the best thing for him to be cultivating. (I think he has a lot of empathy - maybe a crippling amount - for the people he cares about.)

Ooo, very nice and a great tag for First Strike. You really got into Rodney's head.

You really got into Rodney's head.

And a fun place it is!

Thanks.
