Mental illness

Some people have disorders like OCD, Bi-polar disorder, ADHD and autism but those are the most well-known disorders, but there are more than those disorders and they’re in a group called mental illness. Mental illness is known for abnormal behaviour, but the abnormal behaviour depends on the culture and interferes with the everyday life, which was referred to a symptom, but it really depends on the certain type of mental illness like psychotic disorders. Psychotic disorders are a group of disorders but there very similar with the symptoms such as dysfunctions, severe distortion of thought, severe perceptions and severe feelings. Another group of similar symptoms is affective disorders. Affective disorders are a group of similar symptoms of which would disturbs themselves and sometimes, others around them.

 

There are more than 2 groups of disorders such as organic, psychosexual, adjustment, personality and many other disorder groups. The way you can know what type of mental illness you might have been diagnosed. A diagnosis is identifying what type of disorder you might have but it requires a careful assessment to fully determine what disorder you might have. Ph. D is trained to study abnormal behaviour unlike social workers who only has a master’s degree to help abnormal people get their life back on track, but most people like to get treated for their mental illness. Although some mental illnesses can disappear, most can’t go away forever but they can keep it in control by treatment. The ways they can treat the mental illness is by talking to ph. D and Psy.D  and many more people, some may give the person medication, but others will only have the person chat about it. It’s important if you take the right medication because there is different medication for different disorders.

 

The origin of how mental illness came to be, Greece, India, France focused on where the abnormal behaviour came from other people and the Europeans started to investigate these behaviours and they concluded that it was an illness mentality, so the Europeans wanted to learn more about the treatment to the mental illness and they did. But then again, people with mental illnesses are still people even if their different, they shouldn’t be treated like their superior to us.

My Super Power

My superpower is drawing because over the years I went from drawing stickman’s to nearly full body with detail. One day, I wish that I can draw a full body with amazing shading and blending colours together. But until that happens, I shall do what I’m capable of right now. Back in 2020, I would draw a bunch of “cutesy” things, but now I draw a bunch of “weird” stuff like creepy eyes, eyes stuck on hearts and eyes staring at the things I draw (yes, I love drawing creepy eyes everywhere) That is my superpower, what is yours?

Where I’m From

I am from the midgets and giants,

From the how’s the weather up there to hey shortie.

 All midgets make peace to the giants,

except, of course the know-it-all giant and the midget-giant.

 

I’m from the major events,

From birthdays and anniversaries,

We will always wear a special type of hat.

But visiting a funeral is when the hat, comes off.

 

I’m from stories,

To the war stories, the funny stories,

And the wise stories that donna tells,

Helps my family learn about our history.

 

I may not be from the riches nor the royals,

But I’m from the people who created me,

And helped me learn who I am,

That is where I’m from.

I made this before Halloween and I dont know what else to post so here :D

It’s almost time for Halloween so let’s talk about it shall we?  Last Halloween, I made my costume which was an eyeball, and I went trick or treating with

My sibling and they’re (ex) boyfriend in Chesterville. But this year I’m going to go trick or

Treating as a killer clown and with my friends. I remember one year; I went trick or treating with one of my (old) friends and I was about 7 or 8 years old, and I was doing what any 7 or 8 year old would do and that was trick or treating, after that we saw that there was a Halloween party near a library and my brother was helping setting up the party, my (old) friend and I went to the party and that’s when I saw two of my friends Evander and oliya, once they saw us, they came up to us and asked if we can play the games with them, I of course said sure so that’s what we did for awhile until Evander said “lets go through the hunted kitchen” and I said “yes, that would be so fun” so we went in the “hunted kitchen” and then I proceed to get scared by my brother who was dressed as the grim reaper.

My favourite activity in the winter :D

My favourite winter activity must be sledding down a snow hill that my dad makes,

But nowadays he can’t but that’s a story for another time aka never going to happen.

We have roll up sleds, but they suck because as you go down, they roll up under you so you stop mid-slide and the next person who is also going down will bump into you and (maybe) one of you can get hurt (or both of you.) but those are the only sleds that my family owns at my house.

My birthday :D

 

My birthday is today!!! I’m turning 12 today and I want to share how my family celebrates birthdays. What my family does is that on a certain day my grandma hosts a party at her house, and she invites everyone in the family that is still alive since all the adults in my family are old people. My family has a hat for the birthday girl/boy/gender neutral person. My grandma allows at least one friend to come to the birthday parties. My family even goes bowling since my whole family loves bowling,but now I have a question for you. How does your family celebrate birthdays?
