Kamakaze

Perhaps it is an insult to compare myself with a Kamakaze Pilot because they are not afraid to die but I AM. I desperately wish I had the courage to commit Suicide because the pain and alienation is too great to bear but when it comes down to it I'm scared of my skin. It's so humiliating really. So while I hang around waiting to die I may as well take Pot Shots at why I think that we fail the Mentally Ill so miserably.


Where Psychiatry fails, in my opinion, is in it's "Paternal Pragmatism". I'm just a "Statistic". Apparently 80% of Mental Patients are in work. It does not seem to matter that most of those people are scraping the bottom of the barrel at the bottom of the food chain, living from hand to mouth, desperate to please lap dogs with little or no dignity, when at school many were some of the cleverest in the class. Psychiatry GLOSSES over these issues and all but MOCKS their clients as they struggle to assimilate into Society. They are not bothered with trying to change the Status Quo so that these Clients can be afforded OPPORTUNITY. They simply stand back and watch the Mental Patient take the punches until they collapse and then intervene with suitably sedating and numbing medication. Eventually, unable to commit suicide, the patient gives in and once again tries desperately to cling, once again, to the bottom of life's ladder, which almost invariably they will remain at yet can't understand why. STIGMATISM can only be controlled if the cracks in the floors are sealed. I believe this can only be achieved if we offer the same opportunities to the Mentally Ill as we offer normal people. Give them LADDERS which they can climb or give them the option of DEATH. It is not enough to let them LANGUISH for their lifetime. I am SORRY to be so UNGRATEFUL BUT I WOULD WISH FOR SOMETHING BETTER FOR MY DESCENDANTS THAN HELL ON EARTH IF THEY HAPPEN TO HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS!
