Voices were difficult for me to cope with, after being diagnosed. I had to accept that my mind was performing an unhealthy function, according to my interpretation of my psychiatrists words and actions. Still, I think personal thoughts. Thoughts that are of me, and only accessable by me, unless I decide to share them with others.

Psychiatrists and psychologists have legal issues to deal with these days. Being sued for malpractice is a real concern for them. I believe they need to, for very practical reasons, err on the side of caution, in regards to diagnosing and treating mental unhealth symptoms. I've learned that this area of medicine is very much a business, and the consumer should beware and be informed. We need to trust, but not blindly.

It is a difficult maze. Similar to the mazes lab rats need to navigate, I believe. I believe people do become lost in it. This seems sad to me.

I like to think, "I'm me. I've been me for a long time. If I'm not mentally healthy, it is because that has been decided for me, without my honest input being considered. It is hard for me to label the child of my personal memories, me, as having this malady. I would never do to a child, what this world has done to me. At some point, I became less than others. This is a wrong belief, by myself and others. I need to stop encouraging myself and others to accept this belief as true. It is false. God does not make junk, humans do."-me
