FOAD Thursday: Fuck This Shit and That Shit

While writing an email to a friend, I realized that I'm still salty about the way I was treated by my teachers and my family with my ADHD (which I didn't know I had until just last year, but when I think about it, it's glaringly obvious.) I know we've learned a lot more about it in the past 25 or so years, but I wonder why people's first impulses are always to be shitty and kill people's creativity. Fuck a whole bunch of that, and fuck them.

Also, fuck Blogger for forcing everyone to have the new, horrible dashboard that sucks. Lucky for Blogger I hate Wordpress worse. Where the hell is the access to my photos on this blog, Blogger? Or the photos on my other blogs? That made life simple. But, oh nooo, we can't have that. Now I have to upload the photos in each post.

Fuck all of this shit.

Blow Your Stack Saturday: Ditch the Borderline Personality Disorder Diagnosis

I honestly think the "borderline personality disorder" diagnosis needs to be eradicated. This iffy diagnosis is mostly applied to women. When I read the theory that "borderline personality disorder" is actually a form of complex PTSD, it hit home with me. "Borderline Personality Disorder" is the latter twentieth-century hysteria. I wrote a piece about a traumatic incident that happened to me when I was fifteen and realized that a lot of the acting out I did in my teens could be traced to this incident. However, a lot of it could also be traced to the bullying I endured through my entire fucking childhood and teen years.

I also propose that the word "bullying" be stricken from the lexicon and replaced with a more accurate term:

Abuse.

I was inspired to write this after reading a post on The Mighty regarding borderline personality disorder.
