ItвЂ™s not hard to imagine the impact comments like that could have on any patient who overhears them. For better or for worse, the two have become linked in many peopleвЂ™s minds.ДЇor example, while on clinical rotations in medical school, Jane says she heard other physicians dismiss patient complaints and psychiatric symptoms as вЂњcrazy.вЂќ вЂњThat was actually hurtful because it made me think about how providers may have talked about me when I presented at the hospital as a patient,вЂќ she says. вЂњThe majority of us with mental illness donвЂ™t have violent tendencies, and one can be violent without having a mental illness,вЂќ Jane M.,* a medical student who has bipolar disorder and has been psychiatrically hospitalized, tells SELF.ДЄll of these uses of crazy perpetuate stigma around mental illness. WeвЂ™re seeing this a lot in the news lately, especially with how many people are quick to label perpetrators of mass violence вЂњcrazy.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a harmful connection to reinforce. Or sometimes people use the word crazy to label people they have issues with, from a political figure they oppose to an ex.вЂќ вЂњSomeone who is racist-they are racist, not crazy. вЂњDescribing someone who is bad at their job-they are incompetent, not crazy,вЂќ Jessica Gimeno, who has spoken about her own bipolar II diagnosis in a TEDx talk and on her blog, Fashionably Ill В® Blog, tells SELF. Using вЂњcrazyвЂќ to negatively describe any person or their behaviors, actuallyД¬razy can be especially troublesome when we use it as a catchall for negative behavior. Here are the examples that came up most in my conversations: But the more I talked to people about this, the clearer it became that there are a few times when throwing around the word crazy can pretty obviously be hurtful, so letвЂ™s start there. When the word вЂњcrazyвЂќ is harmful and stigmatizingДЇiguring out when it does and doesnвЂ™t feel okay to use the word crazy requires a lot of thought and nuance. вЂњRather than stop using the word, I think we should make a conscious effort to note that difference,вЂќ Alan P., who has bipolar disorder, tells SELF. Instead, everyone I interviewed felt as though the conversation should be about when and how we use the word crazy. вЂњThey fear using the wrong words, being unintentionally offensive, or getting scolded.вЂќ вЂњ discourages dialogue and public discourse among people who want to learn,вЂќ Gabe Howard, who is the author of Mental Illness Is an Asshole and has bipolar disorder, tells SELF. One of my most interesting discoveries? No one I talked to felt like we should all just stop using the word crazy entirely. It is a contest after all.Д¬learly your not the most experienced designer in this contest, which is fine (we all had to start somewhere) but I would have liked to have seen a bit more of that inexpereinced lunacy rather than long, flat hills taken at 20mph.To help figure out where exactly I stand when it comes to crazy, I talked to people with mental illnesses and mental health experts. Sorry to be harsh, but I have to rate it as I would rate any other ride. Perhaps the most boring ending to a coaster ever (stupidly over-long bunny hops into a long straight sections towards the brakes). The hills were all wonky when they should have been straight. The lead in to the lift hill wasn't straight. Very pumpy trackwork throughout, most of which could have been fixed with the inbuilt smoother. The forces, though they stayed within the guidelines, were far to strong for a woodie (mostly caused by pumping and undersized valleys). The elements on the latter two thirds of the ride were far too big, ruining the already dodgy pacing. The entry to the lift hill wasn't straight. Failed the E-stop test badly in a lot of ways, most prominently it overshot the MCBR. The pacing was horrendous towards the end, made worse by the fact that the hills were as flat as a pancake. First drop aside, the ride was a bit dull and lacked any 'wow' factor.ДЄ slightly forgettable ride is made up by its spots of genius. The pacing just died in the final stretch, mainly due to the slightly over-sized bunny hops. Pacing is maintained well until the final third. I liked the unconventional set-up of the layout. Very fun and unique first drop out of the station. While its not the strongest contender we've had, it's far from being bad ride. The layout is nothing more than average. I didn't like how the ride needed a lift to get to the station, it was just unnecessary. Great airtime, especially towards the end. Taking a different approach to competitors certainly made you ride stand out from the crowd, and stand out it did. Par that funky element after the MCBR, the ending was nowhere near as good as the first half. The overall track shaping of the ride was very fun and original.
