What is the stupidest thing a clinician ever said to you?
The stupidest thing I remember is when I was manic and hadn't slept for one or two days and I went to the hospital in a different part of the country (that was where I had become manic and was admitted) at 9:00 am (the earliest possible time) to demand an appointment with a psychologist that was responsible for my treatment after being incorrectly diagnosed, when she said: "you don't need much sleep, now do you?". As if I generally sleep just 0 hours a night.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
