Thursday December 6, 2007

Categories: Mental Health

Beyond Blue reader Cully sent me this yesterday. I've been cracking up over it ever since. (It doesn't take much to entertain me if I'm eating chocolate.)

CHRISTMAS DISORDERS and CAROLS

1. Schizophrenia --- Do You Hear What I Hear?

2. Multiple Personality Disorder --- We Three Kings Disoriented Are

3. Dementia --- I Think I'll be Home for Christmas

4. Narcissistic --- Hark the Herald Angels Sing About Me

5. Manic --- Deck the Halls and Walls and House and Lawn and Streets and Stores and Office and Town and Cars and Buses and Trucks and Trees and.....

6. Paranoid --- Santa Claus is Coming to Town to Get Me

7. Borderline Personality Disorder --- Thoughts of Roasting on an Open Fire

8. Personality Disorder --- You Better Watch Out, I'm Gonna Cry, I'm Gonna Pout, Maybe I'll Tell You Why

9. Attention Deficit Disorder --- Silent night, Holy oooh look at the Froggy - can I have a chocolate, why is France so far away?

10. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder --- Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells....

11. Oppositional Defiant Disorder-- You better not cry - Oh yes I will
You better not Shout - I can if i want to
You better not pout - Can if i want to
I'm telling you why - Not listening
Santa Claus is coming to town - No he's not!!

If we can't laugh at our own disorders, then what is the use of having them? I sent this to a bunch of friends, each of whom has one or more of these unique quirks (even flaws have value - remember in the "Pink Panther", it was the distinct flaw in the diamond that made it so valuable!), and they all saw themselves and laughed. Mental illness is serious, not solemn (thank you Russell Baker).

I found the Christmas Carols hilarious! I'm #9 ,ADHD, and can really relate to "where's France?" My mind is always going off on 5 tangents at once. I also live with a spouse and two children with ADHD. It's a hard, chaotic life but we can find humor in the most unusal places where others can't. I think that's what has kept us all alive, our humor because ADHD is devastating until you're diagnosed and educate yourself ( at least in our case).
