Hi Tara,

I've experienced everyone of these signs! How did you find out?!

Enough said! And, while I'm not like other women, I do have insights into the dark, confused, needy, unstable, clinging vine machinations of the female mind to which most men are completely oblivious.

Again, thanks, Tara, for sharing with us the "signs" of a psycho chick (which also apply to a psycho chump). Being the psycho that I am, I found them to be very humorous, including Apryl's addition. Oh, since Her007 likes to read, I highly recommend that s/he reads my book, Prisoners of Our Thoughts (or listen to the audiobook version). Among other things, it will make clear that I'm not "Dr. Freud!" :)

Thanks, Alex. I appreciate your humor and admire your shameless efforts to get the word out on your wonderful book, "Prisoners of Our Thoughts"TM. Hats off in particular to your comment on Mark Goulston's People mag post. I don't think I've ever seen Britney Spears and Viktor Frankl mentioned in the same paragraph. Most impressive! Thanks again for the kind words and support of the site. TJP

Number 15 and 22 when applied together make up the perfect storm. For those who love the crazies, here's some wears for ya: www.psychochickworld.com

good reading :)

I used to work with a woman like this. On any given week she was stalking some new poor bastard. Scary.

SOunds like some of the boys I've dated, baby.

Wonderful points. Only thing I did not know owing a cat was an issue

Although I know this article is in jest, it still seems a bit general and offensive. I know you mean no harm by it, but I know many people are completely turned off by depression. Just because a person is on medication, it doesn't make them a psycho. Really, it makes them less of a psycho because it shows that they probably have their issues under control. Again, I know I'm just supposed to laugh it off, but I thought I'd at least through a but of seriousness in.

I now believe that I am a psycho after reading this blog!! I have done so many of these things!! I always seem to ask a new boyfriend if he wants to come meet my parents when we haven't even been together a month yet. I also have a big problem with wanting to talk to all my new boyfriend's ex girlfriends!! Normally though, I will only do that when the new boyfriend gives me reason to think that he is cheating on me with that ex girlfriend. The one part that shocked me a little was the part about she sleeps with all your friends. Who does that?? I would definitely recommend this article to one of my friends if I thought they were dating a psycho. I should maybe think about printing this off, hanging it up on my bathroom mirror, and writing in magic marker at the top "DO NOT BE THIS GIRL!!"

Thanks for the awesome article, once again. I guess some of those label me as a psycho (I'm on anti-depressants, I have 3 cats) but I'm assuming this was written in a fun, joking matter. If not, you and I should have a talk... down a dark alley. But really, I'm not psycho!

We all know a desperate woman. Sad, but true, some women just have no self esteem.

Yes, yes and yes. Always to the point and so funny! Psycho-not!

Some of these, I would hope that you don't have to read this blog in order to find out that she's a psycho chick. However, I don't think2 cats really make you psycho. I'm not a cat person, but does the number of pet really reflect your psychological status. Overall, your blog was pretty funny to read. I hope I never meet any person like that.

I agree with leerose. It's irresponsible to marginalize people who are on meds and label them as unsuitable partners. It takes courage and character to do what they're doing. It's the ones who should be on meds but refuse we need to be careful of.

I disagree with the cat thing too. People with pets are usually more warm hearted and generous.

I like #14... which also should include "She introduces you to her children on the first date! Crazy!

All young men should print this out for reference. I know from personal experience that the multiple cat criteria is a 100% reliable, clinically proven indicator of Psycho-chickitude. If she introduces you to these cats on the first date, you should consider moving to a new town.

the picture is scary enough to make me wonder about women! thanks for the advice and i will pass this along because she looks familiar!

This is hysterical because it is so true. I guess love really does make a girl crazy!

There's a difference between being a little crazy and "Teh Crazy." Thanks for a humorous look at a serious problem.

I guess I am not so convinced it is hysterical.

And...how does one combat similar conditions without medical help? :o
(docs detect nothing abnormal)
Also, some insight on the cat thing (only one cat, but I have noticed oddities in my own behavior since I got it):
Leaning (emotionally) way too much on the pet renders the person incapable of dealing with actual people when feelings come into play perhaps?

Not psycho methinks, but I have noticed that I'm very slowly getting closer to this stuff. Any help with preventive measures would be appreciated ;)
