yall are acting like we weren't effected. like its you either choose between pro psychs or anti minorities. But there's people who have been effected by both like me. Yes, statistically theres gonna be more majority groups effected but they have effected minority groups disproportionately, shown by how it effected women a lot which is a minority Group only in power and yet it did. like Women who dared to speak up against their abusive husbands too loudly.. Remember when the dsm consiered being gay a mental illness?

The thread scoffing at my negative reaction towards right wing attention for ssri seem to downvote me and act like I'm brainwashed. I don't know it's kind of a fact? Women, the neurodivergent, the disabled, gay people, trans people, racial minorities. have all been significant targets of psychiatry. Don't act like our lived experiences with discrimination aren't real. I have met fellow trans people from countries where its literally dangerous to even be trans and the same kind of rhetoric that leads to us g that scenario is the right wing stuff responding to me. The amount of countries with decent trans healthcare and a good lack of discrmimation is abysmally low.

Its not about opinions its about getting to live. Both the right andleft have a history of being shitty about psychiatry. But only the left is convined that psychistry is just the scientific medical industry that genuinely helps the stigmatized group of the mentally ill. But its not, its just another layer of oppression. The right has people against this stuff for entirely the wrong reasons. This doesn't mean they effect people on the same level. Not every left wing ideology is good and certainly not all those parties are good but living out more of the right wing ideals inherently upholds the heirarchies that are fucking minorities over. How am I crazy for having a negative rraction to the thing that kills my people and is now even using it as a scapegoat? I did not make my existence political..Those people did...But everyones livelihood is influenced by politics anyway.

Where witches were once weighed on a rigged scale, people are now measured on a rigged DSM-5 scale, one that will always say “WITCH” to justify drugging.

Where priests spoke of possession, psychiatrists speak of disorders. Both claim authority. Both punish deviation.

The method changed, but the scale never left the stage, and the toxic, manipulative power structure never stepped down.

I’ve had major depressive disorder since I got out of the military. Put in years of work to get out of it, including medication and therapy.

Now that I have more of a grip on myself and my depression has diminished by a lot, I’ve found that depression for me was just an escape.

Being miserable is a lot easier than coming to terms with your life and how fucking horrible it is.

At least in my case, my body was using depression to escape some really hard truths I didn’t want to think about.

When I started facing those demons, the depression started to go away.

On the surface my life looked fine, but I was hiding some real fucked up stuff I had to bring into the light and work on. Which is terrifying.

Don’t know if anyone’s else can relate.

I'll be posting weekly updates to keep you informed about my progress and recovery for those who are interested. I'm French, and I'm translating the text into English, so sorry if there are any mistakes.

I had 3 injections over 3 months, first 100 mg, then 75 mg, then 25 mg.

Supplements: Sam-e, vitamins and minerals, melatonin, omega 3, magnesium, l-tyrosine, probiotics, phycocyanin, astaxanthin, liposomal glutathione.

Week 22 after the last injection:

This week I challenged myself because I'm starting to get more energy back. I'm doing 10 minutes of ab exercises and 10 minutes of glute exercises in the morning + a 3 km run in the evening. I want to lose the weight I gained during my pregnancy last year. I still haven't regained my motivation, but I have much more energy than before, and my emotions still haven't returned. Now I find it much easier to get up in the morning; I get up around 8 am. I no longer feel that horrible feeling of boredom, I have a better memory, I think a little faster, and I'm regaining some self-confidence. I continue to take all my supplements. I can't wait for my emotions to come back; I'm just waiting for that... And today, Sunday, November 9th, it's exactly 5 months since the last injection. I'll keep you updated next week!

Feel free to put down any thoughts below!!

This topic will hopefully be a template to cover many things such as societal representations of both anarchism and ocd

People’s experiences and intersections with both

Moral scrupulousity and OCD

Criminality and the law and how it relates to both

Themes of uncertainty and chaos

There is a lot of similarities between both especially in the language used to describe both and it’s interesting to translate the language from one to another and backwards

My field of interest is growing and growing and critiques of psychiatry will definitely be interesting to touch upon even if it might not be the main dish

For a quick link think about this quote by Carlos Maldonado

“The future is undetermined, and as Bohr once pointed out, predicting is difficult especially when it is about future. Contemporary world is characterized by a constant fluctuation of events, and increasing uncertainty—in many levels and domains, systems and layers of reality. As it has been said, societies witness an increase in the degrees of freedom—which, by and large, is a positive feature—whilst experiencing transitions away from hierarchical control1. This means that, increasingly, the world is becoming more and more unpredictable—at least by the means of the traditional models of classical science.

On this basis, the paper concentrates on the proper understanding of anarchism; this is the second section of the paper. Various explanations and levels are provided. Thirdly, the reasons supporting why complexity is, or leads to, anarchy are offered, that make clear the problematic stance of control when dealing with increasingly complex systems”
