[QUOTE="Alyxavior, post: 12022, member: 186"] [b]The Mentally Ill[/b] Interesting topic. Since I was 16, I was "made" to go to psychiatrists and psychologists, to "fix" my "depression". Now, though, I believe that there is no such thing as "depression" or "mental illness". Everything that we are is within the mind. "Depression" is only one way that your body is telling you to change. Then again, any "illness" is just a guide post to get you to move/change in another direction. To step back and *see* what you're doing, and *where* you're at. Possibly even *when* you're at. I was diagnosed as being "bi-polar" back in 1994, and because of that, I was deemed "mentally handicapped". As I said above, we create what we are, within our heads. So, in this regards, I created this to be. I must take full responsibility for those actions that caused the triggering of the DNA with me that brought out the "depression". I also believe that anything can be healed. Fixed. Whatever. It's all illusions of the mind. Each and everyone of us is "handicapped"...and since the handicap is created within the mind...then we are all "mentally handicapped". Anyway...onto "depression". Because I was told these things for so long, and because I didn't feel it necessary for me to try to work things out myself, I just accepted what was said, and what was told me, and the "depression" got worse. I could blame my "illness" on several things, and I have, in the past, for a very long time. Blame didn't get me anywhere. Results and solutions, and a very big change in attitude and perceptions, helped me dig out of that hole. I can't say that I'm the person want to be now, but considering where I was 5 years ago...or even a year ago...I've come a long ways. I had been on medications since I was 16, fighting them all the way, until a few months ago. I would "forget" to take my medicine, and lie to my parents about taking it. You can't just quit anti-depressants cold turkey. It just makes things worse...as I found out....continuously over the years. When I would go to the psychologists and psychiatrists...I would play mind games with them, and share surface things that seemed to be deep....never really dealing with the main issues involved. I've come to realize that self-expression is the main factor in redeeming the body, the mind, and the soul. Love has been a major factor in having these insights revealed to me. I don't consider myself religious, but spiritual, instead. The buried faith in myself was rebelling against what was offered by the "reality" my Ego had created around me. I had taken, probably, every single medication that was around, at the time, when I took it....I had been on the latest one for several years. One thing that I realize now, is that when I was playing games with the doctors, I was, in fact, only playing with myself, and causing more damage. If I had just been honest with myself, and them, I could have been off this stuff a long time ago...even though my current psychiatrist doesn't agree with my decision to get off the meds. I remember the first time I met him, though....he intrigued me...as I left his office the first time, he shook my hand and said "It's a pleasure doing business for you." or something similar. The fact that he knew he was working "For" me is what got me. He's still around and if I have a problem, I contact him, but I'm off the meds. Meds is only a temporary thing...as is any external fix. If you truly believe, and have the will and desire, you can fix anything you want....as long as your perceptions can see the "problem" is within. Another belief I have, is that everything external from yourself, is just a reflection of what's within. I can see the similarities with what's within me now, from where the country is. (I live in the USA, yes) My body, my mind, is just as split down the middle as the country is, and I can say that the turn around in my attitudes and perceptions, came about right as the attacks on the twin towers were happening. I was having a dream of the greatest hope of my life...as the planes were making their impact on the buildings, the people, the country I reside in. OK....Lunch time...I'll continue this, later....if anybody wishes. *nod* [/QUOTE]
