Update Nov 18 2009
So there was a majority "winner: on the contest poll, and 60% said to start the contest before the Christmas Holidays but have the deadline be for after(with plenty on time) and 40% said to start it before the holidays. I appreciate all the feedback I got from everyone. This is a very interactive club so I do take what you guys say or suggest very seriously. I'll be creating a journal about the contest and all the details and will put the link to that journal on the front club page(though if you watch the club then it should just show up on your message center thing). The contest will officially start in the beginning of December(exact date unknown still lol). But the deadline and all that will take place well after the holidays. I know that I dont want to be worrying about submissions and all that during Christmas Dinner, so it will hopefully be lots of time for people. And yes there will be prizes...though I hesitate to create a too competitive environment, I'm hoping the topic/theme will make up for that.

as always comments/feedback is welcome

ok so since I'm really excited I've decided to come back and review the update about the contest theme; ita about something I've been thinking of lately and a more detailed story will be given when I do the contest details page but for now...

9 Myths about mental illness
What is a mental illness? To join: Anyone can join, this club is for people who suffer from mental illness, for people who support sufferers or for anyone who is simply curious about the clubs message and wants to know more.Please send a note here to the club entitled Join and if you want you can tell me why you want to be apart of this club. And please watch the club. ^^
Confidentiality
I take confidentiality very seriously. I know that eventhough I am open about my mental health issues and my various mental illness', that not everyone is comfortable with that. So if for example you decide in a note to share part of your story with me, then obviously I'm not going to discuss this with anyone else. Eventhough this is an online community I know that some people have family members or real life friends on here as well.
Club Rules1.NO FLAMING!! I know that there are people out there that for whatever reason discriminate against people with mental illness, but this is not the place to write any kind of hurtful comments. If you are someone who doesnt know that much about what mental illness is, then I'd be happy to inform you. But please realize that this is a real issue that isnt going away...its not as trivial a debate as what pairing is canon in an anime and which isnt. This is real life and people die from it...so no insults.
2. Be respectful to everyone.

3. Keep an Open mind but feel free to ask questions!

4. No faving the deviations that are featured here. Please

the originals only.
Submitting Art and Literature 
If theres anything you made that you want me to add to the clubs gallery, then please send it to me in a note, with the DA link. And if it has a mature setting on it please let me know what kind(warning or fixed...)It can be any kind or art, poetry, prose, photography etc... I only ask that it stay with the theme of mental illness(I'm very liberal as to what that means as I dont like restrictions.)But yeah I wont add anything totally off topic.

Mature content is accepted

Nothing that glorifies Suicide, Murder,self harm, abuse etc...

Please no more than 2-3 submissions at a time...it can be overwhelming to recieve many submissions at once(at another club I admin I once recieved 20 links in one note.) o_o

Thanks for clearing that up! ^^ Violence can be a very double edged kinda thing...old patterns or habits are sometimes so immediate or automatic that changing that at least in my case is an overwhelming task.
Have you tried anything besides what you've been doing? But you still appear to have some hope for things? or that just my mind making shit up?
if you dont mind can i leave the poll up till the morning? its still kinda new, but yeah I think it does have a majority already.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, go ahead. You may get a few more votes.
I've tried several different things, but sometimes none of them work, and by then, My occasional "solution" {not much at all anymore} is usually too late to try. Figures of "Authority" have never helped Me, and only once was I not threatened to be arrested or fired when trying that. Certain people are too damned dumb to reason with, others are too stubborn, and they tend to be belligerent about whatever problem they're causing Me. It seems that people like this can only really be dealt with through violence, and if anything else I try doesn't work, then I pretty much lose no matter what, because by then, other people know what is going on, and it's just too late for several various reasons.

Mind if I ask what that "solution" was? In my life there are people I've tried to reason with or even tried to change them lol that wasn't possible. And I find it very difficult...I cant force someone to change but I cant live with someone like that in mylife...a dilema I've faced several times. I personally dont like violence...agression might be necessary sometimes but if I did find myself in a violent situation that I could get out of, Id go through all the motions of police, social services, hospitals, etc... whatever needs to be invloved, though that may not be what other people would do, for various reasons as well.
I'd once watched a movie a few years back, and this was said, "'When You're neither Right nor Wrong, it's time to beat the Drums & Attack.' In other words, when Dialogue Fails, it's time for Violence." I am not 100% sure what movie it was, but it was animated & involved robots or androids or something. Violence isn't always the answer, I know, and I haven't been violent in years. I've even been doubting Myself lately, it's been so long. Either way, there are some situations where less than legal actions seem like the only answer left.
I get little "suggestions" from certain... nuisances, irritations, or annoyances, that nobody else seems to hear. It kinda makes Me feel special, when it's not irking Me to the point of actually doing some of the things I'm told to help relieve the stress they elevate...
