do you think labeling someone as "severely mentally ill," and reinforcing it...might actually make the person act...well...'crazy(er)' ?

not that i reject the concept of 'severe mental illness,' its just...wow. wow. i sometimes wonder if the labels, then the community behavior towards a person...helps keep people 'sicker,' longer.

i dont think this is at all my idea, lol. i read a good bit, always have...some brilliant mind probably came up with this ages ago, and im just paraphrasing. still...

i wonder. i mean...really, really wonder...at times, if i act 'crazy(er)' because every.single.day there's pills to take, then there's appointments to keep up with, and the talk is all "blah blah blah...PILLS...blah blah blah..."

i kinda wish the mad among us could have a commune or something. not everybody can 'deal' with modern life very well.

ok. what do you all think? thanks. :-)
