"Recovery and Well-Being Plan"?

I was given a "Recovery and Well-being Plan" - as we all were.

 How many of the scowls that this pamphlet was greeted with were due to the fact that there is NO illness - hence NOTHING to recover from???
- except the continuing attempt to destroy our WELL-BEING throo DEADENING INCARCERATION and POISONING.

 Fucking astounding stupidity!

 Just give us what is supposed to be our normal birthright - our freedom! We can't do anything without that anyway!....

 Someone said to me:
"So you think you are some kind of "miscarriage of psychiatric justice" then?"
You could here a slight "smiley man" in their voice. :)

 I said "Nice one! Well yeah! 
But the point is - there is no such thing as Psychiatric justice!
In fact Psychiatry is one big massive injustice!"......

 In fact being declared "mentally ill" nowadays could be thought of as a bit like the diametric opposite of winning the lottery. Equally random but utter and total bad luck.

About Me

My photo
I am an amateur FILOSOFER. (I am not really a sofa). I dropped out of Cambridge University though I got an "S" grade in the entrance examination. I eventually received a 1st class Bachelors degree elsewhere. I received A.H.R.B. funding to pursue postgraduate study, but did not do so. Please enjoy my blogs. To parafrase Orwell, I am trying to make political blogging into an art. My intellectual heroes are Kenan Malik, Thomas Szasz and Noam Chomsky. I have made some mistakes in my life - and I would like to apologize wholeheartedly and from the depths of my cushions for any problems I may have caused and may be causing for anyone anywhere.
