Pt 1

Another day of blog-sneaking using offices' computer due to ultimate boredom. I (finally) saw an interesting case after 2 weeks of Youth Psychiatric. But.. I better not type the diagnosis over here as she is obsess with looking up the internet, shopping for diagnosis that matches her symptoms.. at the moment she declared more than 5 diagnoses, all self-diagnosed.

A few words i learnt (from the patient); and lets google too so that this could be an educational entry!
BICHITIS - a state of not being able to stop swearing with every sentence. Very common among teenage girls all over the country, thats for sure.

GOTHICS- apparently theyre not quite the same with hardcore... The patient i saw got pissed off when people say she's a gothic.

hmmm... my interpretation is that gothic gals' attire are more 'presentable' than hardcores? coz the dressings arent black all the time.. and the flowy skirts and beaded jewellery some of the girly-type wore.
There was one time when i wore a possibly-gothic skirt happily shopping in the supermarket and a gal gothic walked towards me (not forget to mention her skull-pierced lips, black-racoon-eyes and flowy black skirt, with her partner that dressed more emo-ey), i thought i ws in trouble, but she says hi nicely and compliment my skirt and asked where i got it from. ~heheh~

google says: gothics; characterized by gloom and mystery and the grotesque. They're punk-derived from the early 70s, but not punk (aka alternative post-punk styles. -> punk is sooo yesterday? =p ).blablabla dark-beauty. ahah! so.. theyre like pretty punk?

HARDCORE eit? i tot hardcore simply means 'intense'? But the patient proudly labelled herself as under the hardcore group.
my question: mybe theyre punk? without the super-spikey hairs that could kill a lizard if that poor creature decided to commit suicide by jumping over his head.
Google says: extreme variation of punk rock that originated in North America around 1980. The new sound was generally thicker, heavier and faster than earlier punk rock. so yeah, they're intense-punk.

EMO a group of (naturally) depressed people, wearing black clothings & jewellery with black make up coz black = depress, and they're simply being themselves.

my question: There ARE groups of people calling themselves emo?? like.. errr...u have PMS all the time? they labelled themselves depressed, wear that look around town, and.... feels proud and have a sense of identity about their state of depression?? what the heck? i slept all the time when i got to my pms-emo state, hoping it will go away when i wake up.
I cant believe i even googled emo, and wiki says: A particular style of hardcore punk rock, that is particularly or notably emotional. lerr.. kalo tengah emo pegi la berzikir ke, tido ke, yg ko nak spread the disease thru music buat hape?? bongek!

ooohh.. since the patient got bichitis, this is how she described this other person she hates;
He/she is like a retarded kitten got injected with toxic poisons, stabbed thousand times, got slashed under a truck loaded with cow crap thus mashed, and thrown to a landfill (rubbish disposal) area. ..... ok.. but can u change tht poor little kitten to something else?

hmm... interesting aye.. this patient wasnt referred to the psych service for those identity crisis she's fighting above, but due to her acting-out (small things fired her up and she screams loudly, pulling her hair, etc etc)at home that she cant control herself coz it is panic attack (duhh?); which could happen for no reason (as she read in the internet). After ruling out symptoms of panic attack, we told her that was simply tantrum and of course, she flips out coz that 'infantilizing' her. Things got emotional but i ws impressed with the way the psychiatrist handles the situation.

Hmm..I think...

if this case happens back home, the girl would probably get a good whip on her butt or sent to the bomoh for histeria.
