Do all of our favorite Disney characters have mental illnesses?

Childhood Ruined Part Five: Hundred Acre Woods!

Far, far away in the Hundred Acre Woods is a story many children and even adults know and love. But looking deeper into the story you see that not only one or two but all six main characters seem to have a mental illness.

What if these characters don��t even exist; the obvious answer is that Christopher Robin is a schizophrenic and they all exist as delusions in his mind. Why fight for friends when you can just make believe them? Childhood 101.

If we put that disturbing thought to the back of our heads for a second, then we can open our eyes to the fact of every main character could possibly have a mental illness.

The main star, Winnie The Pooh, I would say he has Impulsive and Obsessive Fixations. His obsession for honey makes him climb a tree to raid a beehive just to eat, regardless of the unknown future.

Of course the conveniently named piglet, Piglet. Piglet lives in constant stress. He is worried over the slightest everyday activity to my opinion describes General anxiety disorder. The anxiety that most people can handle day to day, is overwhelming for him.

His house has to be clean, clean, clean! Rabbit shows signs of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He practices military dictator-ism on his friends and is constantly cleaning.

The most blindly obvious issue of the all, Eeyore is constantly pessimistic. Eeyore shows signs of Depressive Disorder he lives his life unable to appreciate even the smallest things in life.

And of course Tigger, consistently showing signs of Attention Deficit Disorder. Not only can he not sit still but he bounces through his friend's lives like a tornado, causing chaos wherever he goes! That may remind you of some of your own friends!


This article is not to say these disorders are any laughing matter; they are serious mental health issues. This is based on opinion not me diagnosing her.

Until next time. Live, Laugh, and Prosper my friend.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
