One local company is currently staging the musical, "Next to Normal." I caught it the other day because my volunteer work involves mental health so we were invited to watch it for free.
Anyone watched Next to Normal before? Here's a wiki of it: Next to Normal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Really an awesome musical for me. It's more on bipolar but since I'm not.. just unipolar I decided to just post this here. There were some parts that struck a chord in me.. such as when the protagonist goes "the medicines don't make me feel anything. I'm numb," the doctor then concludes that the patient is stable. What really made me think about is: what is normalcy? Are we, people with mental illnesses, normal anyway? Are we normal in our own ways? Or are we just something close to normal aka next to normal? Somehow I find myself crave for normalcy so much. Then asking myself, what is normalcy anyway? Just random thoughts.

Thanks for sharing, herethennow! I am not familiar with that musical, but I would love to see it one of these days.

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