Stigma Talk One
The unfortunate reality in today’s society is that mental illness is viewed as a form of social deviance. However, the worst part is not only the fact that these people are not purposely deviant, it’s that they are a lot of times not treated like human beings. When I was being treated at a mental institution for my issues the majority of the people there agreed that the stigma associated with being mentally ill was worse than the disorder. People will go on and just say “she’s bipolar.” or “he’s schizophrenic” and just label people as their disorders. No she has bipolar disorder and he has schizophrenia. I started this blog to show that social deviance shouldn’t be always viewed so negatively, because for some people it is inevitable. I also wanted to take part in the fight against the stigma associated with the mentally ill. Many forget or do not know that the rights of people like me are still being violated in this country. Treatment has come a long way but the battle against stigma is far from over.

Life is shit but sometimes shit is the best fertilizer
1) Grow something from the ruins of your smashed-up life.
2) Turn your shipwrecks into garden plots.
3) We’re going to suffer no matter what. Turn some of that suffering around on itself and find the beauty buried in it.
4) Sometimes the mean things haters say about you just makes them look evil and you not so bad.
5) Hit back and take comfort in how well you end up swinging.
6) There are a lot of shitty mean people in the world. The fact that you reading this might not be one of them makes me feel good. Always find the worthwhile people to outweigh the fuckheads.
7) Always remember most of your favorite art came from heartbreak, depression, boredom, and fear.

This is for my PTSD sufferers and those who care about them. Regardless on whether or not you like 5 Finger Death Punch, this video has a powerful message. I became friends with 2 PTSD sufferers the last time I was locked up in Psyche. One of them hadn’t gotten a full night’s sleep in almost 4 years because his nightmares would wake him up. The other hadn’t seen his son in over 6 months because his wife was so afraid of him. I dedicate this post to my friends Dustin T. and Dustin M. both of them said they got my back. I wish them both the courage to keep on fighting. They may have left the war but the war has yet to leave them.
