Thank you! Well, I was wondering if you could do some stamps on the other personality disorders- Avoidant P/D (yellow), Narcissistic P/D (navy), Dependent P/D (magenta), Schizoid P/D (grey), and Schizotypal P/D (light green). I'm tired of hearing about BPD. It's the only one that is publicized and it's irritating that people aren't aware of the others (I'm a psych major, as well as survivor of a couple things). I don't care what the colors are but I gave suggestions in case you wanted them. I have, um, a few more requests but I've already given a bit of a list and I think it'd be rude to ask for more at this point....

You are awesome! I forgot a few- Histrionic P/D (light blue), Antisocial P/D (black), Paranoid P/D (brown), Obsessive-compulsive P/D (white/blk print), and Dissociative Identity Disorder (beige/light brown)
Also- "physical abuse awareness" (orange) and "emotional abuse awareness" (dark red) (I already have a few sexual assault/abuse stamps) and... "emotional abuse survivor" (dark green, white print)

Thank you so much. I put these in my journal in the hopes that some people will be overcome with curiosity and briefly educate themselves.

I'll get on those ones. I knew I'd missed a lot of PDs (i have a list on my forum) but had no idea about colours

I am in awe at how popular my mental illness stamps are.

I'm not, to be honest. There are so many people out there who have or once had these conditions (including myself) but have to hide it because society is not ready to "deal" with it. I know in America, the statistics are astounding.

It's the same in Australia. Something we covered in our orientation to disabilities was that intellectual and physical disabilities aren't as taboo anymore, but the mental illnesses and psychiatric disabilities are very much still swept under the rug. Hardly any education available at all.

The only reason I've made BPD stamps is because I am Borderline. It wasn't about me publicising it or whatever. In my country no one knows anything about BPD anyway.

I'll make your stamps now and upload them. I don't mind if you want to request more

ArcticLoneWolf In reply to dimruthien [2008-04-03 05:15:07 +0000 UTC]

Oh, really? I'm sorry if I sound flippant about it. I have major depression and social anxiety. There isn't really a public awareness of BPD here but in terms of published material- self-help books and stuff- there is a lot of BPD stuff. Supposedly it's because there isn't enough research on the other P/D to publish anything useful in the way of helping them... but no one is researching them.

I don't know how it works in Australia, but in America no one can pull those records without a court order or your express permission.

And, a majority of clinicians are in the field due to histories of their own. I have an advantage over my peers because I have such intimate knowledge of the therapeutic relationship and process- early practicum, if you will. Things you can't learn out of a book.

Eh, but for me.,.. my scars are pretty visible. I don't cover them at all. I dunno... I think I'm going to be just as happy working with people who have disabilities.

I'm just hanging out for some masked rats, not so much the bews. Do you have any plans on what you're going to breed?

I'd love to get my hands on these so-called pointed rats that AncientMice has found, other than that I really want to get into rexes and silkies. Did you get any blazes in your litter? If you have any left I'd totally be interested in getting a blaze! It's just so hard to get anything interesting up here, and so expensive to ship them. I wasn't aware anyone up here had BEWs or blazes

Ah, my mistake, i forgot to mention I'm in Sydney, moved here 2 years ago. Sorry! Unfortunately all in our litter are spoken for but i thought others didn't mind freighting interstate? I suppose it is expensive though, regardless... Well, if you put your mind to it, you can be the first real rat breeder in the top end, wayhey!

dimruthien In reply to ex-arte [2008-03-18 05:17:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I hope I get some interest! I doubt Darwin will ever be much of a rat place, but breeding maybe twice a year I should get a little bit of interest!

Freighting is quite expensive unfortunately It's not so bad between the eastern states, but once you want to ship to Darwin the price skyrockets! *fistshakes*
