The 'Crazy Vibe', what sets yours off?

No, cutting is crazy! Cutting is also a physical means of releasing emotional pain. It is often done by young women who have been abused either sexually, physically, or emotionally. Some young men do it too; but it is much more prevalent in females.

I think I like your friend!

I knew I was going to ruffle up some tail feathers with the way I answered that. Honestly, I just say things sometimes. On a deep level, I feel that way, but I understand that "crazy" can be something that is very poorly recieved in this culture. I know that Snoozan probably thinks I don't know what crazy is, and that some people just need pills. But I seriously contemplate the idea of natural freedom and the natural place in society for various people. I firmly believe that various types of crazy designations would have simply been the spiritual guides and rainmakers of say, native American culture. On the other hand, I do understand that certain abuse leads to certain other types of crazy. Like OCD and anxiety, which my overbearing parents seem to have induced in me. I don't want pills. I have seen the emotional shell of a man my brother is after 20 years on lithium.
