Thank you, Kirin! T.T
You didn't have to give me anything!

Yes, because a lot of people assume that if you have a mental issue that you go out on a rampage and murder people. That is ridiculous crap, and you are right. Plenty of people with such problems have them because of something in their life such as abuse, being orphaned, losing friends and family. I think the human pysche is very fragile. If put out of balance bad things happen.

Clair, just be happy with it. xD

I wanted to. You should always get stuff from your friends for your birthday. Besides I'm just paying it forward. I got a great birthday gift from jo for my birthday. So you get this for your birthday.

*donates to Jo* I don't have enough to get something really nice, but I'll help out! ^_^

*huggles jere*

just wait you will get mine in a bit to clair just need to get the last bit of gold to get it! ^_^

@ Sil! Exactly!

@ Pip.. well there are different types of it. I mean there are mild cases that only have like a few episodes once in a blue moon and then there are advanced cases of it where you hallucinate more. And then there is one with psychotic episodes with it that is the most advanced of them. And then ther is Scitzo effective dissorder.. where you don't have it all the time it come in eppisodes and usually there has to be a bought of depression or high stress to induce it. This one is very hard to diagnose. But can be very harmful to the one who has it without help. You see things not there and can easily end up hurt by say walking into traffic thinking you are asleep when you are not because you are seeing things that are not real and do not seem real. Or they do seem real and scare the bajezzus out of you.

yes those who have an issue as a result of some exterior force have a psychotic snap... and that in its self is different from genetic mental illnesses.

*prods everyone*

:glom: I love you Sil

*huggles Sile and Jo and Clair and Pip and Crow and Ivvy and Hime*

*gets hugged*

Hey Kirin, what's up?

hime!!!! *glomps* how are you? i don't think i saw you on my birthday so i demand a late birthday hug

Thank you ever so much. It was very enlightening.
My mum taught me to accept people who were different. She did a work experience in a place with people who had mental issues. She told me that there was one man who looked absolutely terrifying, but he was the sweetest person. He'd run up to people and give them hugs and mum said that he was a very nice person.
Sorry if I was too business-like. I really am. *hugs*

Hey Hime I am doing alright.

Omg!
*squizzes Jo tight*
A belated happy B-day dear!

Too many people having their b-day these days :o
*digs VERY deep through invo*

Yes people judge when they can never know from looks and hearsay.. I mean come on Bundy was a law student who looked perfect. Had a girlfriend and all.. but he killed a crap ton of people. And then you have the guy your mom met. He was scary looking and just really a big teddy bear.. looks are not true most of the time. If it looks perfect its broken I promise you that. So if they tell you they are broken you are probably more safe in my opinion.

My birthday was in November.

And I love you too. I think it's very brave of you to tell so openly about it here, and I am very proud of my Rainbow Regulars for being so understanding, willing to listen and, unlike many others, not immediately jumping to conclusions, as well as for daring to ask questions. The only way you can learn is by asking, after all.

Hey Hime. <3

Eyea is back! XD

@ Kirin: You have now been album'd. ^.^

*scampers off to go to work* :cry:

Did you get my newest avatar? I've been adding on to it.

Ohh yes I will talk openly. You can only learn if you ask and listen. So I will help all I can. :)

Hey Eyea. <3 Welcome back, girl. <3
