Warning: Spoiler!

Guess away

I'm not offended though, the first move of most "groups" is to disqualify someone's opinion by identifying them as "an outsider"

As I said, it's a touchy subject, and no one can state what someone else experiences.
Perhaps I needn't have said anything at all :whistle:

In any case,
I believe in The Force, and I enjoy riding bikes - The rest is fairly immaterial

That is not what I did.

Maybe not intentionally or with hostility, but it's a fairly normal reaction

Someone in X group would not make Y statement.

Ergo, someone who makes Y Statement is not part of X group.

Once that has been established, it's easy to disregard any further statements.

Essentially "What would they know?"


(In case tone is difficult, I'm saying all this quite light heartedly, I enjoy much of your contributions that I've read Edan, and have no interest in a battle of semantics with you )

I'm wondering if this subject deserves a topic. I wonder how Jediism interacts with various mental illnesses.

I would suspect that there is a higher than the "general population" number of mental illnesses in Jedi folk, as some may find it more attractive than some of the alternative religions.

Perhaps there are already some topics on it. Search will be my friend.

It is not what I did. Your original comment downplayed how difficult it can be to live with a mental illness, it's hard enough dealing with it, without others (who apparently perhaps should know better) trivialising the impact they can have. If you can't 'get through the day' then you're probably contemplating suicide, by which point it has stopped being a problem and started becoming life threatening. No mental illness that causes someone to struggle each day is not 'not really a problem'.

I am sorry you received it that way,

My intent was not to "downplay the difficulty" of anything, but rather suggest - life is difficult, and to expect otherwise is foolish.

If you are getting through the days, and not dead through suicide or personal negligence, then, while not ideal, it's not a problem - it's life.

(and if you do complete suicide, arguably you no longer have any problems - but I understand there are strong feelings on that subject)

I suppose my intent, overall, was in complement to the vibe of the video - Disorders are interesting, and can offer all sorts of challenges to those who suffer from them, and it can be helpful to know your own behaviours and feelings - but they're more of a margin note or something in the appendix of your personal narrative - not the main story arc.

It would be cool to start a new topic on the "Ds". I know so little about it, and you guys seem to have a lot to contribute about it, outside of a humor thread.

Yep. I got 200 something. Lost track because I started playing minesweeper.

lLol, but got bored at 2:51 and bailed :dry:

I totally couldn't be bothered getting a pen and paper. Then I started ball-parking my score to within about 3 points of accurate because I wasn't sure if I'd already added the point I just earned or not. Then I just started rounding to the nearest 10 at about the 90s mark. Then I went and made a sandwich. Then I was going to rewind the video because I forgot to pause it but I thought it was too much effort.

But in my personal assessment I'm fine. I have really good self-evaluation.
