yeah that makes lot of sense.

I openly call myself crazy, eventhough many people protest the word as "offensive". I am not gonna describe my experience with some desenitized and politically correct word. It would be lessening MY experience.

(and I am not gonna judge how others feel. Just because one is not officially diagnosed doesn't mean they aren't emotionally problematic)
