You butter watch out,
Butter not cry
Butter not pout
I’m tellin’ you why…
Speaking of Understanding the Sick and the Healthy, I recently had a relationship with a woman who suffers with Boderline Personality Disorder, something very close to Paranoid Schizophrenia. I did not know this when I started seeing her, but was a confession that emerged as we dated and as I tried dealing with her inexplicable behavior and bizarre personality changes (something she has learned to hide effectively, especially at work, which is where we met).
She had self diagnosed her problem after many years of searching and reading to explain herself to herself. She recommended a book on the subject, which I bought and read. Until then, I’d always been very skeptical that psychiatrists could actually diagnose anything with accuracy, but that book changed my mind. I could practically go through that book and use it as a checklist of her behaviors.
It didn’t really help me deal with her any better, but it did help me understand the situation.
