Well I was thinking more The Kid. I just pulled the quote outta Jack's post.

Can we call him that? The Kid? I like that.

I've worked with a schizophrenic and a bi-polar but never a borderline. Are they scairy to work with? If so how come?

hebephrenia sounds like the most difficult to deal with. What a thankless job that must be.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mgibbons19', 'I') said it earlier in the thread - but how much impact do you think you really have? in Africa?

PMS, I was on the bus once and there was a man sitting in front of me half collapsing with laughter, just full to the brim with mirth. I asked him what was so funny, in a nice way. All of a sudden his face looked like thunder, he glared at me, and screamed ,"It's people like you who are destroying the world", then he hurried off the bus. Could that have been hebephrenia? It was kind of embarrassing.
Unknown Element:

I had someone renting the bottom floor of my house who was borderline and obsessive compulsive. She was a very giving, lovely person, in many ways, but she wanted to pack my house with her stuff. She didn't throw anything away. Ever. It was AWFUL. Her bedroom was a firetrap full of weird stuff like grapefruit peel collections, itemized and labelled. I think she filed her finger nail clippings. She was like a crazed hamster who can't stop lining it's cage with shredded newpaper.

The borderline part was the lying. Before she moved in with me, she had her husband thrown in jail because she thought he MIGHT hit her, explaining it was the same thing as actually hitting her. They'd been married for 30 years and he'd never touched her. The guy sat in jail for for several weeks. Harsh.

I was really nervous, after I gave her notice to move, that she was going to pull something like that on me or my husband.

She had normal, loving parents and a close family, so I think there is more to this than environment alone. A bit of nature over nurture.

I'm glad you got rid of that tenant without anything bad happening. When I was in High School my girlfriend's older brother was renting a house with a friend. They advertised for another roommate. The guy they brought in to share the rent turned out to be a dangerous criminal type who forced them to move out so he could bring in his psycho friends. Hebephrenia is a severe childish regression. Those afflicted display nasty, gross behavior in a giggling demented way. (Sort of like a certain Hollywood celebrity)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Jack', 'S')o, lotrfan55345 - why do you want to inflict pain on the third worlders? Why do you wish to expand their suffering?
