Since you brought it up and this is the Mental Illness Thread, Please go get an Evaluation. I'm serious and I care.

Auntie...

I just don't know what happens to me when I watch UH sports....I'm not mental... I think

Even the last two wahine volleyball games really had my adrenaline going.

I know it's not a mental illness...

Maybe some sort of competitiveness thing comes out of me...
Cause I get the same way when the Seahawks play!

Manoa, I'm not talking about you watching games in general. Please don't get offended. In my opinion and because I care...you show signs of having Mental Illness. It's best to get evaluated. Mental Illness can affect anyone. It's nothing to be ashame of.

Re: Mental Illness

Oh, you two fight just like family sometimes...Oh, wait, I forgot...hanai-ed, yeah?

You two both represent my preferred kind-o mento - you see this world in ways that other people cannot grasp.

Now, make nice and go eat hamburgers together, soon. Someday, I'll be there alongside of you, and the three of us will scare everyone else. (Okay, maybe there will be more than the three of us...there are a few others on HT who would fit right in.)

Re: Mental Illness

Thank you for posting the list.

I went down the list... and a few could pertain to me... but I'll bet a few could pertain to everyone on HT at one time or another

Why can't I ask you questions... If your the one who thinks I'm mental?
Your the only one that has ever told that to me or thought that of me.

Please don't call me something I am not... even if you may think I am.
If that's the case... Please PM me.

I'm not Mental...and I wouldn't be ashamed if I was.

Just because I talk to, communicate, love and have hanai'd someone who is mental.... doesn't make me mental does it?

Hugs...

Re: Mental Illness

Auntie...

I was thinking about going down your list and making a joke about almost each statement...

However, I know mental illness is not a joking matter!!! and you would have been all over me like flys on shat.

Thank you for sharing your honesty and insight with everyone...

I do want to correct you on one thing you said though...

It takes one to know one!

I'm sure that there are many people suffering from mental illnesses that are not as open and honest about their problems. Many don't get the treatment that they need for one reason or the other.

If you have gone down that list while reading this post and said..."hey.... A LOT of these things pertain to me," then I would suggest getting help also.

If this thread has even helped one person...then I can take you calling me mental.

Hugs,

Manoa

Re: Mental Illness

In today's StarBulletin Editorial Section http://starbulletin.com/2006/09/01/e...itorial01.html
Mental health success should end oversight

THE ISSUE
A federal magistrate is recommending that a judge end federal oversight of Hawaii's mental health system.

"AFTER 15 years of federal oversight because of severe inadequacies, the state's mental health system is among the best in the nation. U.S. Magistrate Kevin Chang is recommending that federal Judge David Ezra bring the oversight to an end on Nov. 30. Legislators and the state administration should refrain from complacency to assure continuing sound mental health services in the future."

"In the years of oversight, the state has tripled the funding for the State Hospital. The number of citizens receiving mental health services has risen from fewer than 4,500 to more than 10,000 receiving ongoing mental health services and 2,000 receiving partial services, according to Dr. Thomas Hester, the division's chief."

Yes, Now the State mental health sytem is among the best in the nation. However, with the increasing problems of Homelessness as well as the Ice Epedemic, the State will continue to increase it's funding to the State Hospital . It doesn't take a Genius to think that one out. Duh!

Everything increases in time.
