Questioning Normality


 

How to Use These Public Posting Boards

We can use these public boards as a means of collective contact amongst psychiatric survivour/ex mental patients. 

(Interacting with the non- psychiatrized as well where appropriate) As with all sites like mine, this is a good way to get out of psycho-social isolation, feel connected to those with similar experiences, and to share what helps and what does not.

Please remember that this one is a PUBLIC board so that anyone can see what you have to say. I personally have access to your addresses and e-mails when you register but you do not have to use your real name or otherwise expose your identity. The server owner also has access to anything you post here as well but it will not be used in any way UNLESS you say something that is breaking the laws.

I want to keep my ‘G’ rating so that a ten year old could read this without blushing, feeling frightened or learning new words that would shock even me as an old lady... so watch your way of expressing yourself please. I do not have a lot of time on line so if anyone notices a problem with any posts please bring it to my attention by sending me an e-mail directing me, by title, to the problem post. E-mail me at:

Patrica@SPAMAWAYCounterPsych.com

Remove the word SPAMAWAY and close the space.

Please download the two PDF files below regarding how to use the boards and the software.

1.   Posting in the First Person Singular Style

This one is about the simple method of use

2.   Registering, Signing in and Using the Software

This one is about the physical use of the site software and gives a step by step direction.

Both are in the PDF files below and can be downloaded to a computer, flash drive or opened and read online here.

Those Labelled Schizophrenic 11/10/2011
By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic I would like both those labelled “schizophrenic, and those DOING the labelling to think about this. The people who talk about the “schizophrenics” right in front of them do so because they have been taught by dysfunctional groups, including psychiatrists, that “schizophrenics” lack ... More>
 
Defining Normal 07/23/2011
By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic  In dysfunctional groups “normal” does not equate to psycho-spiritually healthy. “Normal” equates to “common.” That means that whatever the group consensus agrees upon as acceptable becomes ”normal' thinking and behaviour. So, if forming a lynch mob is accepted by the group then it's normal ... More>
 
Blame and Blamelessness 07/21/2011
By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic, Labelled D.D.(P) in 11 cost effective minutes  Next stop: Questioning Normality  Is it ALWAYS the family that is to blame? No. Of course not. It is never “always” anybody. The words used to describe this in absolute terms are part of the problem. That is metaphysical and is apart from ... More>
 
“Normal” People Like to HIDE in Plain Sight 07/03/2011
By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic  We are not “allowed” to tell them we see them and hear them, because it will ruin their group insanity. They need to think that group insanity is “normal.” Otherwise they might be crazy and know it. You know what psychiatrists like to say, “If you were really crazy, you wouldn't know it.”  Let's test ... More>
 
Sarah Chapter 27 07/03/2011
From Motherhood the Second Oldest Profession By Humorist author the late Erma Bombeck  with Commentary by me I am reproducing  part of this book here for educational purposes.  I don't think that Erma would mind. Intended to be funny or not, it is pretty on target as far as how “ reality”' gets distorted by the “inputs” of large ... More>
