I am watching Ghost Adventures and have been for the last hour. The first poll/vote to this live show is; to email in which part of the mental area they should walk through, from what I can tell; they do this all the time, even if it’s not a live show. Granted my judgment is from the last hour that I have witnessed from the show but it makes me feel as if I am the same as a serial killer and or a person of great evil.
Do they really believe that if you are mentally ill, you are scary after death? That is the most ignore thing I have heard and is totally stupid. Sorry for the venting

I like your poem. Don't be sorry for venting. You are entitled. I hear you!

For some reason the general population does seem to think that people with mental health problems are scary. Last night I took a bunch of neighborhood kids trick or treating and 2 of the girls had on these bright orange mental asylum suits and had hand cuffs on. Now granted, these are some sweet girls, but its just typical of what seems to be most people's idea/impression of the mentally ill. Arg. It bugs the shi* out of me too, if that's any consolation.

Granted they are kids but its society for the past 100+ years that have labeled the mentally ill as outcasts to society and it’s scary to be mentally ill. I don’t see people dressing their kids up as a cancer patient, liver diseases or a heart attack! That would be politically incorrect, for someone to ask, “What are you for Halloween” “cancer patient”.
In the past they never had proper treatment for mental illness and therefore stereo type us as “crazy”. Even today, after science and medication, people still us the phrases, “their acting psycho” or “that person is crazy” ; these comments are not meant to be positive and 9/10 when refer to the person, they don’t suffer from mental illness! I still am in shocked that after all the studies on mental illnesses and the various diseases they still categorize us and bad people. If the didn’t we would not be referenced as equals to serial killers, robbers, and other things.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
