 I've been interned many times, almost half, maybe a quarter of my life the last 20 years or so. i hate the fucks, not most nurses, but their fucked reasoning that gets me locked in.  evidence of my insanity is eg., wearing three shirts in winter in a fuckedly designed flat, singing on the street w my headphones on (who the fuck told them? am i paranoid ? i don't know they've ever accused me of, but if so, if spies then ought i be?) whence i met someone who told me i have perfect pitch :)

 anyway , hospital wards are not the institutions you are thinking about?  deinstitutionalization happened not too long before my run-in w psychiatry. my problem is i get too happy, too friendly n smile at strangers, talk to people in bars (i'm usually a little shy, parents weren't too good at inflating my ego, the opposite indeed).  they call it mania. they give me the title schizoaffective, or the more socially accessible bipolar,  i also get voices.  they are friendly   voices who are either giving a commentary on what im doing, trying to predict what i will do, marvel at me for nothing, kind peeps trying to inflate my ego. i hear only when i smoke pot or drop mdma. all other drugs like speed smack n meth don't have that affect. 

i have a theory tho, well lots of ideas about why voices and why psychiatry isn't a cure at least for me, and probably 99% of the peeps I've met in there.  i'm unsure of others' needs so if you are interested , and if unless i stop prior to finishing please keep reading. i'll talk abt nah. if ya get back to me i will.]]> 2020-09-07 06:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/j_ison1/cldmsdu9dj1y/wish/724382928
