Yeah, another of "those" threads. Philosophizing, challenging the mainstream, anarchist thinking ahead. If you for some reason find these unsupportive, dangerous and quesitonable, exist now.
May you find comfort in kitties too.........
Maybe you heard of the Icarus project, which is one of the too few project that promote mad pride, informed choice, empowerment and the like when it comes to mental health.
The mainstream model is lacking. I said that many times, will not repeat it. Yes, I know psychiatry saved lifes and can make one's life better. But wrecked others.... so not give them free pass. After all under Mussolini trains ran on time and Gaddafi made Libya thrive economically. Not saying Psychiatry is evil per se, but take profit driven industry, add incompetent people working for it and throw vulnerable people in it.... and you have mess in making.
I for myself don't consider my issues "illness". Obstacle? Sure. Is it dangerous at times? Hell yeah. But I see positives to it. And it is who I am.... maybe my spontageity is partly driven by manias, maybe my creative insights is driven by both depressed and manic phases... who knows. But if it is so... why would I want a "cure"? Sure there are times when I am asking deities to please just give me time to breathe... but retrospectivelly it often makes sense.
I have always excited healers and shamans. I believe I am giften in this way too, just learning to work with it.... not to get overwhelmed by all the energies and visions and whatnot. It can get intense.... but it seems to gotten better with time. I still wanna live in the world and be part of it.
Maybe we all are different for reason.... it's just about finding out place in the world. I wish more people were understanding of this. Or maybe (and I plead guilty on this account) if we all weren't creating some artificial and shared "normal" and were more ourselves.... we could breathe freer.
Your thoughts? Ideas, experiences, whatnot?
