No that is the direct definition of disorder. What I felt Darkwatch was talking about was the essence of what a disorder is, not the literal definition. Also, I have ADD as well, I can't focus to well all the time, but I wouldn't classify myself as mentally ill. This is what Darkwatch was getting at. What is the correlation between a disorder and mental illness.
(OOC: O_o Well, there are a lot of just random conversations on here along with the actual rp (such as this one XD) So I mean, that is the reason it is so huge...I wonder how many pages it would be now O_______________O)
(OOC: Yup. That be where I reside. See, this is the thing I like about sites lke this, you can meet people you would have never had a chance to otherwise XD)
(OOC: It is December the 2 here too, but ut is 1:00 in the morning. XP And the phillipines are on the other side of the world XD)
Darkwatch, you should post your opinion, Long posts is what this thread is about. Anyways, on topic, It depends on what you mean by disorder. To qualify something as OCD for example, simply means that you do something repeatedly because of a trigger. Like someone who is afraid of germs who constantly washes their hands. This also leads to the point that disorders can cross over into one another, as a phobia (fear for those of you who don't know) can trigger an OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) My girlfriend can be like this. She will literally start hyperventilating if she does not turn the number on her locker's lock. I have seen this happen. I think that a person who is OCD is not mentally ill, thusly why I say it means what you define disorder as. A phobia is in an entirely different ballpark. As are other things. Defined or not, someone can have a disorder. I think it all comes down to how you interpret the word disorder, and what you view as "mentally ill"
(OOC: What, are you on the opposite side of the earth? @_________@ Where do you live? (Country, I'm no stalker, just curious XD))
I think that SoKai is the greatest couple EVA, but I LOVE Roxas x Namine as well. They deserved SO much more face time in KH2 XD
(OOC: Aim silly, and rufus is fine, she just needs some sleep XD)
(OOC: Well, where I am, it's 12:32, but for Rufus, it is an hour earlier 11:32. She has been asleep for awhile though. My guess is she passed out XP Her sister was on the comp when I tried to im her XD)
(OOC: Well rufus is asleep tonight. Staying up until 3-4 in the morning for a wek straight finally got to her XP Me and her just kinda lost track of time, butI got to sleep in later cause I'm in college, she's still in high school. She told me she passed out in all of her classes on one of the days! She stayed up past when I was done talking to her @_@ so tis her own fault ^^;;)
(OOC: We have to many characters as it is XP And now people are double rping @_@ Also, someone needs to make Krazy Kong stop calling himself God of War, his name is KRATOS, Kratos you numbskull. If you were a fan of the game, you would know that. @HK: Sorry for not waking her up, but me and Rufus have an idea of what we want to do, and Riku is still off wandering somewhere, plus, you made the nurse say that I was out for 24 hours, so tis your own fault :p)
(OOC: I'm so confused as to what everyone is doing...I'm not gonna worry about it XD Rufus and Rena aren't here, so Kairi isn't going to wake up yet DX)
*Smacks Vincent really hard* That's for rufus, since she isn't here to defend herself, you moron
That one is easy, but Vincent already said it XP
"Let me up! I know your hiding him from me! Let me go!!!" "Doctor, she's going to hurt herself!" One of the nurses said. "Here, give her this sedative, it will calm her down." Passing a needle to the nurse, she managed to get the shot into Kairi's arm, and she slowly started to calm down. "So...ra..." Kairi said, and then passed out. (I'm going to bed XP Night HK)
I'll have to do that, but tommorow...I need to get some sleep...tis 4 in the morning here! (Thank god I don't have class until 2:30) Night Kaira!
Shoots ectoplam goo all over Kaira haha! now your all messy XP
"No he isn't I just talked to him! Where is he, you can't hide him from me!" Kairi was thrashing wildly again, the stretcher starting to move.
"Where's Sora!" KAiri almost screamed, still trying to get out of the stretcher.
Speeds off after Kaira KAIRA GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!
