Email I got from my girlfriend...and she wonders why I think she should be labeled as clinically insane.

If she meant this as a joke it is hilarious.

If this is meant seriously, then run away as fast as you can and don't look back.

Share that picture on facebook. Then you've made a status about her.

I don't think she has nearly enough data to justify that trendline.

Though I'm curious. In most cases my first instinct to question the validity of her mathematical model would be a catastrophically bad choice, but it seems like it might play well with this girl.

She hot?

Tell her that without data on your total number of statuses, there is no way to determine if the difference is significant. Game over, you win.

You know, just a short 2 months ago, I probably would've laughed at this. But in that short time, my younger sister had her first manic episode, and subsequently diagnosed as bipolar. Since then, she's come and gone. Mostly gone. Her mental illness/disorder means she isn't always herself.

It's a frightening and altogether indescribable feeling and level of pain and sadness to see someone you grew up with and spent so much time with lose their mind. They become a different person, but at the same time still maintain small bits and pieces of who they truly are. She was such a happy, fun, and kind person to be around, and always made me laugh. I'd call her after a crappy day at work and just talk for a while, and she'd make me feel better. Like many siblings, we have our stupid in-jokes and "short-hand" gestures. Her school yearbook was filled with people telling her to never stop smiling and laughing. It's like being ripped away from your loved ones over and over, and you never get used to it. At least, I haven't yet.

Now, she is nearly always angry and depressed. Having a conversation with her is like walking on eggshells, always careful not to say the wrong thing to set her off. I've visited her in the mental hospital during her, fortunately, short stay there, and witnessed the still inhumane way they treat patients. I've seen the number of pills she takes just to remain somewhat calm and "normal", and, for the relevant part of this post, I've seen the things she posts online. None of those posts reflect who she truly is.

It's unfortunate that society doesn't treat mental health patients the same way we treat patients with other illnesses. Like I implied in the first sentence, I'm every bit as guilty as everyone else. But as her, I assume, current boyfriend, stay with her or break up with her, it's your life and neither choice is wrong. But if she is truly mentally ill, at least treat her with some dignity. I know how upset I'd be if my sister's current boyfriend treated her terribly and made fun of her behind her back, or to her face.

TL;DR - If she's mentally ill, she's still a human being. Treat her with dignity.

edit:spelling

edit2: Thanks for all the kind words. To those who are also experiencing something similar, or have experienced it for far longer, hopefully one day there will be a discovery that 'cures' them completely. Until then, /hug.

Something tells me OP doesn't think she is actually crazy. No one could be that stupid to think facebook answers everything.

Therefore, this is awesome.

Deyona · 7 Stunden

I'm just gonna have to say she would not have spent that much time on this. It's rather easy to find out how many posts someone has made about you/participated with you on facebook. It takes like one minute, which lowers the crazy factor a bit.

She might have done this while binky22 lurked on reddit for all we know! Crazy yes, but a 10 on the scale? Not from just this, unless the scale goes to more then 10 that is.

It doesn't seem that she tracks the ratio of statuses about her to total statuses. It could simply be that your interest in Facebook has waned.

ADP_NDP · 4 Stunden

While the research question is interesting, her empirical work contains three serious flaws:

Her choice of functional form for the linear regression is questionable. According to her results, a 1% increase in year reduces the average number of status updates about her by 6030. In future work, she should consider using a simple, linear time trend (i.e. current year - base year) as a regressor. This would allow her to interpret the coefficient on her time trend as the average yearly reduction in status updates about her. It would also fix the scale problems she is having with her coefficients.
Instead of running a regression on the entire dataset, she should consider using a Chow Test to check for a structural break in the time series in 2010. This is where it appears that the relationship between the variables changed.
Since she seems to have very few observations (a handful of yearly averages), it may make sense to compute standard errors using a percentile bootstrap, rather than using formulas that rely on asymptotic justifications.

haha my ex did something like that. she calculated how many hours we needed to video chat over the summer (long distance) in order to keep the number of hours I hung out with her higher than the number of hours hanging out with friends. needless to say I laughed and dropped her.

If she is messing with you, you must marry her right the fuck now, that is some class A teasing going on. It shows intelligence, humor, and that she isn't an attention whore.

If she is serious, run. Run before she starts making excel graphs about PSI vs. location, for puncture wounds on your body.

iwasayoungwarthog · 7 Stunden

she must also be insanely hot to warrant you still calling her your girlfriend.

easily a 10 on the crazy scale, and the fact she put that much effort in, is even scarier.

edit: i guess i should say that this is assuming that she is serious, if it's a joke then i would agree that it is funny, that's just not how i read it because of his title

Am I the only one who deliberately tries not to talk about my girlfriend on facebook? Firstly, I hate all those kinds of posts. Well, hate is a strong word. I find them annoying is more accurate. And secondly, I like my relationship with my girlfriend to be relatively private. Sure, I don't hide that I'm with her, but I don't go shouting to the world either. It's the same reason I don't go making out with her in public places.
