> Oh, so now I am just LYING to myself if I am suicidal? I am being dishonest to say that I have mood swings??
I said I think the ORIGIN of what we call mental illness is "enforced split, between what is said, and what is in fact, true" in our families and in our society. The RESULTS are the development of what we see as mental illness and are our symptoms and suffering. That is what I am saying. True or not.
> are you saying that everyone is mentally ill? And that therefore no one is mentally ill?
Yes, I think mental illness is a matter of degree.
Did I stir a hornet's nest or what? Please do not attribute to me things that I did not say.
