Not that I have it or anything, but I thought that this was an interesting off-topic subject information to display. If you take a look at all of the nasty trolls we've encountered, you will astonishingly come to accept my arm chair diagnosis has a great deal of Truth within it. i am sure that trolls aren't the only people who display this kind of behavior. I knew someone who ran across the picnic table just to scare a child who was with me and my friends all enjoying iced teas/sodas whatever, and a good conversation and along comes this abusive asshole showing his narcisstic and antisocial personalities. Do you know that antisocial personality disorder and narcisstic personality disorder are evenly matched as a dual dx? Well you do now. I took a few psych classes for my writing career earlier before I found out I was BP.

As I also am. I show both tendencies of Schizophrenia, and Bipolar. A psyhcitrist in my area, told me I displayed tendencies of both disorders. Hence, I am schizoaffective, which some say it is bipolar bear at it's worst. I talked to a friend on the phone today flipping out about something that I shouldn't probably worried about. She says I am the one beating myself up and tried to tell me all about CBT. I told her I know all about that. I retrain my thoughts through writing, and listening to relaxation music, but CBT doesn't always help those thoughts go away.

She also agreed with me on emotional abuse causing suicide attempts. She has a Masters in Social work, so I am pretty sure she knows what she's talking about. She told me not to worry about other people who disagree with me, that I am right about that causing suicide and that's all I should be concerned with. She told me I shouldn't let you all get to me. She told me I shouldn't let wrong numbers get to me, but I can't help my thoughts they just eat me away like sharks.

I agree with you totally, CBT will not make the thoughts go away, it just gives us tools to work on it. And, sometimes the tools just don't work despite our best efforts.

Something about the term "emotional abuse" doesnt sit right with me. I think I am worried that someone will be labeled "abusive" because they have a different viewpoint than a moderator. I would think that the term needs to be well defined. I just had a very good friend wrongly abused of child abuse and it was horrible. He was proven innocent but the stigma remains. I would hate to see that happen here.

BPPrincess, I really don't know why you're so worked up. I'm agreeing with you. Long term emotional abuse most definitely can cause one to commit suicide. I truly think you misunderstood me...again, we're on the same team.

It's getting to the point where my meds aren't working again, and I hate having med adjustments. I just freaked out about someone calling my house, but not leaving a message, but I knew who was calling. She told me it was probably just a wrong number, and to call them back, and she was right. I was really frigtened over nothing. My daughter's spending the night at a friends house, but tomorrow I am going to go swimming and take my daughter out to play, and the whole weekend, I am going to take for myself. No boards or DS for me. I am going to try to make some time out for me. I need it.

mind you they called ten times and didn't leave one message. I panicked to say the least.

Thats a good idea hon. When it's getting the best of you, it's time to take a break. You do know how to take care of yourself and that's excellent. I messed up and didn't do that one time and it was not a good thing.

Dare ya, I understand your concern. The situation we are referring to however was definitely more than a difference of opinion. But your point is well taken.

Yea I dont want to give an opinion about something i wasnt a part of. I havent been on the boards much because of my schedule. I just dont want to create such a heavily moderated situation where people are afraid to freely communicate.

I feel like I am back in class yet having a great difficulty understanding any of this. But thanks for all of your answers, I do understand some.

I work next door to the Severly Emotionally Disturbed kids and they do fit all these ideas of anti social behavior. When they moved to a different site we would joke with the local police that we don't get to see them anymore.

Sometimes their anger was so deeply rooted that it boggled the mind to try to understand how and why. Many times these students should have gotten expelled but because of a parents wisdom in having an IEP they never were.

DareYa, this definition is for you, and then I'm off to read tons of poetry!

Definitions of Emotional abuse on the Web:

a serious mistreatment of another person's feelings or emotional needs.
www.nationaltcc.org/tcc/

Chronic attitude or acts which interfere with the psychological or social development of a child. Each of us is guilty of having unkindly snubbed a child or having criticized him too harshly, but emotional abuse is consistent and chronic behavior. It usually is related to a constellation of interactions and is cumulative.
www.bccsb.org/definitions.html

There is no single accepted definition of emotional abuse which, like other forms of violence in a relationship, is based on power and domination.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
