Psychiatry
I have written this in anger at the people, who suggest you to get "professional help" as a way to not deal with mentally ill people. In retrospect this article feels very ungrateful towards the people in the hospital, who managed to ease my psychosis to such a degree that it became livable, and I wasn't in constant suffering. I hope this is clear and I hope that this doesn't come off as me bitching about people, who helped me to have a livable life. Moreover, I'm also not very fond of those "anti-psychiatry" positions, at least not those suggesting that "mentall illness is just a way to be different/seeing the truth/having another reality" and such and such. Those positions are just as much of an unhelpful way of thinking as those proposed by mainstream psychiatry.
Psychiatry is a system made to redirect responbility and keep society sterile in the process, so the poor, poor normalfags don't have to interact with the lunatics. Obviously, to normalfags this process of redirecting responbility to some anonymous system that keeps society clean from what they internally perceive as human waste and subhuamns, but would never admit to seeing it this way - they probably don't know it themselves, yet this is how every Redditor and Tiktok user, who recommends you to "get professional help" sees you, if you are mentally ill.
Aforementioned Redditors and Tiktok users have two modi operandi in this regard: Either your suffering is something that just needs a lot of therapy sessions with a professional, the adequate medication, and a lot of care and open ears from others, or you are subhuman scum that needs to be locked away to keep society sterile. They live in this false dichotomy of "Autism is my superpower; ADHD is just being different; …", where they envision a quirky 14 year old girl that sometimes has a very hard life, when she gets past a construction site, as she gets overstimulated easily, or…they envision some deranged hobo that throws shit at people, masturbates in public, and is a DANGER to society that needs to be locked away. So either your suffering is not really suffering, but just a way to be different and special, or you are an actual subhuman to them. Those people, when they talk in their Autism subreddits and Autism Youtube videos about this disorder never consider that somebody, now comes the important bit, suffers in a way that is UGLY and INCONVENIENT to society. It's all fucking sterile bullshit.
This is the point of it all: They don't want to have ugly scenes, and your suffering means nothing to them, therefore (You), a mental case, can be locked away in a """hospital""" for months on end, maybe even spend years in those godawful places, because they don't want you to be an mild inconvenience to them. They will never admit that they see you as subhuman, as this would also be not clean, not sterile, but their actions speak volumes about their real thoughts regarding the mentally ill.
Fuck all of this. Fuck everyone who suggest you to "get professional help", because those people want people like you, a mental case, to just disappear from the face of the earth, not dead, because those would be ugly scenes too, but just disappear…carried away by the police to a place where nobody can see or hear you along with all other subhumans.
This society is fucking rotten to its core, and that is why mental illness is rising and rising, when there is more and more "help" available. Do you think in medieval times there were so many brainsick people? How much psychiatry do you think existed back then? Psychiatry and mental illness correlate positively. Suicide rates and suicide prevention do so too. This system is here to make everyone, who is forced into it fucking miserable, suicidal, and hopeless. Grim times we live in…
