Mentalness

So I forgot to add in that a dirty stove is one of my biggest pet peeves in my previous post. I use to be crazy before I started taking medication and absolutely everything bothered me. Although mental illness isn't something to joke about, because I never had serious depression issues but the fact that I was a crazy bitch before I started taking meds for my OCD is kind of funny. <== (Serious run on sentence.)
I feel terrible for all the people that had to live with me, I must have unbearable! I don't know how my ex dated me for almost three years!!! But now I am a functioning human being :) But there is a story that goes along with this.
There was this guy named... Luigi, he told me one day, 'we need to get you off these' referring to my medication. He said you don't want to be dependant on something like that for the rest of your life, bla bla. I suppressed the urge to smack him, I didn't even give him the evil eye; I mostly ignored the comment. If he knew that these magic pills made me happy with who I am and made every day life an enjoyment he wouldn't be saying this. But get this, he was a bum that was addicted to pot. Although he had the excuses, well I'm grumpy without it, it mellows me out, bla bla. All the excuses of people that have a crutch. (Honestly you should have grown out of it by now! You're 23 and you claim you're mature for your age and gone through a lot more than the average person, b.s)
I have real issues! Without my medication I can't go a day without counting the squares on the floor and the ceiling tiles! I can't go without snapping at somebody for something stupid. I can't be in crowds because I'd get overwhelmed. I'd lose sleep over an over due library book! I'd try and memorize number from anything and everything even though they were completely irrelevant to my life. I knew it was insane but I'd worry about cameras in my house, watching me eat, watching me sleep, watching me at my most private moments, watching what I wear and criticizing me.
And he had the nerve to tell me that I should get off the medication that changed my life! What an ASSHOLE.
Anyways I just thought I'd make a point; nobody knows best but you (in the end). People can help you along the way, give you suggestions and criticism but they don't know you like you know yourself.
But on a less serious note, I was watching The Body Farm and there was a funny quote from it. I thought I'd end my post off with it :)

Man- You know how much my sister spend on a dress?...3,000 quid just for done day
Woman- So how much would you let your bride spend?
Man- Well, what ever she wanted, but then the women I'd marry wouldn't go mad
Woman- You hope


Made me laugh out loud :)
