Is it normal to want to wrap my laptop power cord around my neck and hang myself in the library stairwell?

And to make this a legitimate thread:

could someone please explain the difference between factitious, conversion, malingering, and confabulation in 10 words or less?

p.s.- procrastination is a powerful beast.

malingering: wants meds
confabulation: lying
factitious: self harms
conversion: all in head, young girl

Can we make a haiku thread about personality disorders and defense mechanisms, or is that inappropriate for this neck of the forum?

Splitting

he is so awesome
i hope he burns in hades
but really he's great

...or is that Borderline, crap

oooo Guess this defense mechanism:

I want to get laid
I will repress that feeling
I think my wife cheats

 

[justin334]

or this one:

I had heart attack
I can do fifty push-ups
I have no disease

This is fun.

I know you were going for brevity, but I would have deleted "young girl" and expanded confabulation to "unintentional lying, amnesia" 😉 Other than that though, excellent job! 😀

Denial and what's the word, Projection?

Here we go:

why are you a jerk?
here I made you some cupcakes
why don't you go die

Very true! I wasn't happy with confabulation but that fixes it. 🙂

factitious- "Oh i'm sick, don't want money or drugs just love me"
Conversion- I have a brain aneurysm, no you don't, yes I do
malingering- I want drugs or disability for life
confabulation- I'm drunk, I have thiamine deficiency

Brief psychotic episode- wrapping a cord of your laptop aroudn your neck...

delusional- going to med school and taking step 1 because you wanted to help people!!!!
