American WASP
I am extremely preppy. Like sweater vests, oxfords, Top-Siders, the whole nine yards. And not just clothes. The issue is, I get very upset when I see magazine articles where it says how preppy is a new trend everywhere, and has come back, etc. Preppy has never left. It has followed me around rural New England my entire life. It's not a trend. It's a lifestyle that's been around forever. I get extremely miffed, and just want to scream and stomp and rip up the article, but that would be unladylike, of course. How can I deal with this? I have tried counting to ten and things like such, but they do not help because I still know how wrong these articles are and that I can't do anything about it. It's more than just that, I get angry over a lot of things, and it just gets all held up, since it isn't entirely proper to throw a fit. What should I do? I have OCD and split personality, but I don't have ADD or bipolar, I mean I'm not a retard.

Don't let it get to you. Just tell yourself that it really doesn't matter. Clothing is not that important in real life; people are pretty much the same under all their clothes, whether they be preppy or whatever else. But if you really identify with the style then just remember that the writers don't know everything and are probably only writing what they want to be true.
I would try writing. You could go on a rant about how amazing the style is, or rant about what idiots those people are. Or tear up the magazines and burn them (but be careful burning around other flammable things...). It's not unladylike unless you do it where other people can see. It's good to get rid of your anger.
By the way, ADD and bipolar disorder have nothing to do with mental retardation. The four mental disorders that you mention don't affect intelligence any if they do at all, so I don't think anyone would mistake you for a retard unless they're an idiot.
