People love to be able to diagnose to say things like, ‘I
think there’s something very wrong with her – personality disorder or
something.’ They want to diagnose rather than say, ‘That woman is a plastic
bitch who cares about nothing but her wardrobe.’ Perhaps people think this is a
way of disabling, while acting empathetic to the perceived problem, dismissing
it as, ‘not her fault.’ But anyone can see that a diagnosis is derogatory and
judgemental, rather than empathetic. It’s probably the harshest critic, because
it says, ‘lock her up and drug her, her annoying personality is diseased.’
Hoarding
is now a registered mental illness in the DSM5 apparently, so a woman who
collects too many clothes could, under the Mental Health Act of Victoria, be
deemed to have a mental illness and be made an involuntary patient, and that
always necessitates forced drugging. I do think, however, if this happened too
often, there may be an outcry from the prosperous clothing industry against such
incarcerations.
Women
and men who are fixated on body image would be angry over their rapid weight
gain on psychiatric drugs and the dead-fish eyes that occur on high doses of
these psychiatric drugs would upset photographers who like to photograph the
image conscious.
I’m not
saying image conscious people aren’t already being made involuntary. Of course
they are. They always have been. I’ve met many magazine model look-a -ikes on
the inside of psychiatric hospitals, as well as porn stars. Trauma happens to
many people. Getting along with everyone and appearing, ‘normal’ while under
stress is difficult. Appearing ‘normal’ before a psychiatrist is even harder
because they’ll say things like, ‘She’s very good at pretending to be well. I
think she has suppressed anger.’
No one
is immune to the laws that can make you involuntary and subjected to forced
drugging. You may think you are, then you witness your friend being stabbed to
death, you are raped, your baby dies, your partner leaves you, you have a car
accident, you lose your job, have your home burn down, or you decide to be a
devil and try some toxic street drug… Your mind can do weird things under
stress and then people worry that you’re unwell in the head; and then they think
you need ‘care’ and ‘treatment’ from a psychiatrist, because, well, that’s what
you do when someone starts thinking crazy things, isn’t it?
No! You
do not if you care about them in any way. If you hate them, for being ‘a
plastic bitch who only care about her wardrobe,’ well, then, you obviously want
to get even and see the ‘plastic bitch’ gets a good dose of torture that you
know psychiatrists are entitled to deliver quite lawfully.
Guess if
you are a ‘plastic bitch’ with an exploding wardrobe disease, you’d better find
similarly infected friends who can be equally as bitchy as you and equate with
your plastic personality, that’ll back you up, rather than turn you in when you
have a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ and become traumatised by it.
No one
is immune from diagnosis, forced drugging and imprisonment in a psychiatric
hospital, even if you’re high and mighty, that’s ‘histrionic’ and ‘narcissistic’
to a psychiatrist. And if you tell them that you’re ‘a model’, then they’ll
write down that you have, ‘delusions of grandeur’, even if that’s is how you
earn part of your living.

Hey NO huge issues there, so many of our friends have suffered through 'the-system' dealing with the symtom rather than the underlying causes. Your awareness raising is vallient and necessary; let's all combine to effect change. It will be a long lonley road though, but well worth it
