Good morning, or afternoon,
I haven’t decided if I will listen to the Mindfreedom radio today because I might be out at a fun event at that time. But I am with them at heart.
Yesterday I got a mean comment. Hmmmm, I wonder why people get so mean. Makes my understand better why Giana at Beyond Meds turned her comments off. I do think the comment section of a blog is what makes blogging fun.
I just visited Beyond Meds and enjoyed a video that Oz J. made for Giana. Here is an excerpt and a response from that to the mean commenter of last post:
I am undiagnosing myself from mental illness.
[After lines later he says]
Mentalism is todays racism.
I grow sick of hearing others call people schizo as a joke. It’s not funny now and it never was.
I grow sick of people assuming that mentally ill are more violent. This is not true now and never was.
You may see the whole video on Gianna’s site here.
2:46 p.m Well, I did listen to the Mindfreedom Radio. On the one hand it is exciting. On the other, the struggle is something I just want to put behind me. I am so focused on one other “normal’ things that I just don’t want to revisit that part of my life right now. I have achieved a lot, but I am still not financially independent. I don’t want a potential employer Googling me and finding out about this aspect of my life.
Hmmm, I guess I didn’t say I would give myself five years of being stable and off-meds. How many has it been? I think it has been 3 1/2. Others see me as a success, even a role role model in this community. Not for what I do for mental health, but for what I do for other causes.
