The Secretary of State should be ambitious for the good of the world.

I think that the Secretary of State at this time should be someone who has a lot of military experience, but Mr. Petraeus is not my first choice.  

He's not my last choice; my last choice is anyone who doesn't have a lot of military experience and who will spend the next four years making international business deals without concern for human rights and without real, working knowledge of the world's political and military terrain.  Anyone who has to have that knowledge mostly supplied by assistants who work for the White House is the wrong choice.

November 28, 2016


I hate my life, but I know who should be Secretary of State.  

I can't make President-elect Trump appoint General Kelly, and I can't make my life the way I'd like it to be.  All I can do is cope with what is happening to me; it's a miracle that I have any sanity after being so horrifically abused for so many years.  

What I know is that this is one of the most important decisions of his Presidency, and if he laughs at everything else that I say for the rest of my life, he shouldn't laugh at this.  

As I said a few weeks ago, I have chosen my level in the world.  I know the limits of my education and my life experience.  At this time in my life, I am not qualified to be a professional political writer, and I don't know if I'll ever want to be one.

I'm not advocating for torture of Guantanamo detainees; I would never do that.

November 28, 2016

How are you supposed to feed people who refuse to eat?  

Hospitals administer IVs to patients who refuse to eat.  I was never one of those patients; I have to be very depressed to stop eating for a few days, and I don't have distorted thoughts about my weight.  Presumably, detainees would obstruct the insertion of IVs and also remove them unless those detainees were strapped down for hours at a time.  

If they were being denied food, that would be a torture, but they're not.  

I wish they'd eat.  There is a plethora of ways for people to articulate their feelings about being detained without hurting themselves.  Do they have access to books and music?  It has to be boring where they are; maybe the hunger strikes and even the fights they're getting into over not eating are their way of having something to think about.

Medication and more medication

November 25, 2016 


When you take medication, other people stop hassling you to take it.  That doesn't mean that how they think about you changes; before you take it, you're refusing to do something that they want you to do, and when you take it, they feel better.  What helps you to feel better is that they stop hassling you as much as they hassle you when you're not taking medication.  

Unfortunately, if they get mad enough, then they'll decide that you need more medication, and they'll hassle you until you take that.  

Also unfortunately, mental health care providers who are not as intelligent as the troubled children and teenagers whom they're trying to treat fail more often than they succeed.  Sometimes they fail because they are deceived by their clients.  Sometimes they fail because they aren't nice people and they hate their jobs.  Frequently, they fail because they get frustrated with their inability to understand or help their clients, and diagnosing and medicating the clients absolves the practitioners of their feelings of failure; that's how they go from feeling like they're bad at their jobs to being bad at their jobs.  

Sometimes even intelligent practioners fail because they get tired of the work that it takes to help someone move toward health.  To say that someone is going to be sick for the rest of his or her life, and that all that anyone can do is monitor the person while the person copes with the "illness," is a relief that practioners shouldn't be able to have, but they do, and pharmaceutical companies profit from it.  

It can be a treacherous path from being a smart kid to being a productive and responsible adult.  Fortunately, being smart often helps to keep people out of trouble that they would not know was trouble if they weren't smart, and even when they do decide that they like trouble, they don't do as many stupid things as people who aren't that smart do.  What also can happen for smart people who decide at a young age that they prefer trouble to their clumsy or evil therapists and to feeling like they can never get anything right anyway is that, 10 or 20 years later, they decide that they don't like trouble and its consequences and they want to do something else.

What's really sad is when the smart kids get too damaged, or their lives get too damaged, for them to have good lives when they're adults.  I have met them in hospitals and group homes.  You can't always know exactly what happened to them, but it's a fact of life that there aren't a lot of people who want to hear truths about themselves told to them by anyone, particularly not by children and teenagers who, as smart as they are, don't yet know the self-preserving power of tact.  

What's a kid in counseling supposed to think, that all the "truth-telling" is only going to be one way?  Why would a kid think that?  What's fair about it, from a kid's perspective, especially if the kid wasn't the one who asked for help for the kid?   

It's appropriate for therapists not to talk too much about themselves to their clients, but what about when the kid reads the therapist like a first-grade book and the therapist subsequently hates the kid?

If you answered:

you're correct.

Getting into or near the last two a few times often convinces people that the first one is preferable.

Thorazine

November 25, 2016


All of my psychiatric hospitalizations since 2010 were the result of trauma from the conglomerate's abuse of me.  During one of those hospitalizations, I asked a nurse if there weren't a medication for sleep that patients could be offered when they got to the hospital that didn't cause them to wet the bed.  She told me that Thorazine is automatically prescribed for sleep because it's less expensive than medications that don't cause patients to wet the bed.  She also told me that she wouldn't want anyone at the hospital to know that she had told me that.

I knew about the bed-wetting because a couple of female patients and I were talking and each of them thought she was crazy when she got to the hospital because she had woken up the first morning and was horrified that she had wet the bed in her sleep.  They realized from talking to each other that it was the medication and not them; otherwise, they wouldn't have known.  

I have never taken Thorazine; I know it's an older medication that has a lot of side effects.  I didn't know that bed-wetting is one of them; most of the public probably doesn't know that, which is probably why jokes about mental patients wetting themselves continue to be considered funny.  

Did the Boston Globe ask whether the medications that are offered or refused to prison inmates have to do with cost more than with how abusable the medications are?  

It's logical that the only medications that a prison would want to give to inmates are those that subdue them without helping them to feel better.  The worse it makes you feel, the less anyone's going to want to buy it from you.

The Boston Globe

November 25, 2016

"The desperate and the dead" could be a name from any past century, including the time when the public could buy tickets to walk through mental hospitals as if they were circuses.  The entire focus of Spotlight's series about mental illness seems to be on the danger to the public of The Mentally Ill.  

Have you interviewed people who are diagnosed with mental illness, who are not violent, and who are attempting to live normal lives despite the public's hatred and fear of The Mentally Ill?  Have you heard of the term "psychiatric survivor"?  I almost never read the words "stigma" or "discrimination" in your articles, nor is there acknowledgement of the emotional, physical and sexual abuse for which people who are diagnosed with mental illness are at a higher risk than the rest of the public, no matter what their level of functioning is.

When people know that someone has a psychiatric history, they do not treat that person the way they they treat other people.  A mental illness diagnosis of a victim is accepted as an excuse for abuse perpetrated against that victim everywhere, from the poorest places in the world to the richest.  "A living death" would be an accurate name for a series about what it's like.  

You can't medicate stigma and discrimination.  Also, have you asked people who take psychiatric medication what it's like or done even rudimentary research about it?  There are discussions all over the Internet about how horrible psychiatric medication is; the weight gain, the sexual dysfunction, the neurological problems.  

Have you asked people who are diagnosed with mental illness if they get told to take medication when other people are upset with them, even if the people who are saying "You need medication" or "You need more medication" are the ones who are doing all the yelling and hitting?  What about the subtler ways in which almost everyone uses the mental illness diagnosis of another person to win a nonphysical conflict with that person?  

Stigma and discrimination against people who are diagnosed with mental illness are so pervasive that they are unrecognized by most of society, including the Spotlight team.  You are writing from the midst of your prejudice.  



That's a picture of part of your article that was published today.  I am writing this page as I'm reading the article; I hadn't seen that picture before writing everything before it at this blog page.

Before that picture, the Spotlight article has printed the words "medicine," "medication" or "prescription" numerous times.  The phrases "mental illness" or "mentally ill" are also printed numerous times, and that's not including phrases such as "mental health issues," "mental health problems" and the word "symptom."

The word "stigma" is not printed even once.  Not having read the rest of the article yet, I don't know if it's there at all.  

This is a picture of the paragraph in the article that is immediately after the picture of the person whose privacy the Boston Globe has violated to ridicule me and to promote voyeurism and involuntary pornography:




Psychiatric medication is so incredible that everybody wants it?  Is that what Spotlight is saying?  Patients who don't want to take medication that other people want them to take are irresponsible or too mentally impaired to know that they need it, while patients who ask for medication are druggies?  Do you know how often those two definitions of behavior are cast over The Mentally Ill?

The previous paragraphs of the article talk about how desperate patients get for mental health treatment, desperate enough to hurt themselves as a cry for help, and how important Spotlight thinks medication is.  Then, this section talks about patients "faking symptoms to get pills."  

Has it occurred to Spotlight that eradicating societal stigma about The Mentally Ill would help a lot of Mentally Ill people to be less desperate and even less Mentally Ill?  

This is the next picture in the article:






These are pictures of noncontiguous parts of the next paragraphs:




___________________________________




What was wrong with the marriage?  What's wrong with the psychiatric hospital?  What's wrong with the school?  What's wrong with the medication for ADD?  What's wrong with diagnosing children as having mental illnesses?  

Why aren't those questions being asked, instead of what's wrong with the kid?  I'll tell you why; because it's easier to blame the kid, especially when you can continue to avoid your responsibility for the kid by denying that you're blaming the kid because of course you'd never blame someone for being Mentally Ill, only for not doing what you think he ought to be doing to stop being Mentally Ill.  

I have never done weed and am not a fan of it; if I were, what's turning into the average street corner in Boston and Cambridge on a weekend night would have far more attractions for me than it does.  Perhaps supermarkets will soon be carrying home deodorizing products featuring names such as "Chill," and "Ganja Glam," to be advertised at YouTube and during commercial breaks for children's television programs. 





Nobody who wrote or edited the article thought that "showed him the ropes (in prison)" might be a poor choice of words?  


This is a picture of part of the article that talks about the protagonist of the article when he was transferred from prison to a hospital for a while:



 

"Disgusted by abuse and filth." 

This is someone for whom a sense of right and wrong is not absent.  

"Not sick enough to stay." 

There are usually a lot of people working in mental hospitals who like violence; what they really like is committing violence against people who can't fight back and who are not able to articulate their thoughts about the hospitals' routine failures at being humane. 

"That's when the prison's treatment of him changed...His mental health became a matter of concern."  

"Not sick enough to stay" at a hospital, but in need of some sort of treatment; that was the prison's perception of him after the hospital sent him back.  His verbally asking for mental health support before he was sent to the hospital didn't give the prison that perception of him; someone else had to say it.  That happens all the time, not only in prison.  

The medications that he was prescribed probably had less to do with his improved mental health than that the health care providers at the prison were nicer when he got back from the hospital.  He's not going to say that, because it's sacrilege in mental health care to say that medication isn't the answer to everything, and saying that you think the medication helps is the 21st century equivalent of repenting for your sins.  Fundamental decency, treating someone like a person, listening and caring; you can't administer that in a pill.  Also, the prison could continue to treat him as if he were crazy and therefore deserving of abuse before the prison sent him to the hospital; for the hospital to say that he wasn't that crazy meant that the prison then had to take some responsibility for what happened to him when he got back, or continue to file incident reports that would indicate that the prison was failing to provide an appropriate environment for someone who had inflicted enough self-harm to have gotten sent to the hospital.  




These are not quotes from the article:

"Were you crying in therapy today, little girl?  Were you talkin' 'bout your mommy and your daddy, or about that bad, bad priest?"

"I heard you tell shrinky what happened to you; I bet you liked it, huh?  Want me to do it to you like that?"  

For other people in the prison to watch and hear the therapy of inmates is to broadcast to the prison what the most effective ways of psychologically and physically tormenting those inmates are. 

I have no reason to think that the article's protagonist was an abused child or teenager; I have every reason to think that a lot of people in jail were abused children and teenagers, and that being abused from birth causes people to be abusive more often than it causes them to be empathetic.  

These are pictures of part of the article describing what happened when the article's protagonist got out of prison:


 
 

One of the first things that you figure out when you get into the mental health care system is that you have two options for the rest of your life; that of a victim whom everyone pushes around because You Are Mentally Ill or that of an aggressor whom people are afraid of because You Are Mentally Ill.  To try to be anything else is emotionally excruciating; every day is a minefield of prejudice, exploitation and fear.  The stigma is that bad.  You are not allowed to think or talk about yourself as someone who got over a mental illness; it is presumed that you will have it forever, and everything positive that you do will be seen as a time of higher functioning between episodes, or between an episode and a hypothetical future episode.  However free from illness you might be, you are never free from the stigma.

It is also really difficult to stop taking psychiatric medications if you have taken them for several months or years.  It's physically and emotionally difficult, and there's no support or encouragement for doing it like there is for trying to be sober of illegal drugs and alcohol.  The most you'll get is the tentative hope from other people that you won't be destabilized without it, and everything that you do is evaluated according to that idea.  Someone else can have a bad day or be in a bad mood and decide that you shouldn't have stopped taking medication, even if you're the one who went to work that day.  The process of detoxing from psychiatric medications is unrelentingly anxiety-ridden.   

I have read the rest of the article.  The word "stigma" is not there.  





That's the address of the article. 

While reading the rest of the article, I was dreading that perhaps the protagonist was back in jail because he had killed someone.  He hasn't, which means that his main problems now are stigma and the stigma-induced path of despair that he's had instead of a life.  

The Boston Globe's series about mental illness hasn't talked about this:

Although Leonardo DiCaprio does not and never has had respect for the things that I care about, I have never interfered with his environmental activism.  Vermont has a lot of environmental awareness, which was probably one of the things that attracted him to me 10 years ago, which is probably when he heard of me.  

Neither of us knew then what a virulently misogynist industry he was part of; whether or not he'll ever realize how bad it is, I don't know.  Whether or not he ever does realize it, he's many years and many abuses too late to date me, even if I wanted to date celebrities, which I don't.

Nina Agdal WANTED to be in this video, and nobody's slut-shaming her.

November 24, 2016




That's the address of yet another article demonstrating the conglomerate's hypocrisy.

Nobody needs to film a video to prove that a 24-year-old model is prettier than I am; you can ask me, and I'll say "Why would anyone think that I'd be prettier than a 24-year-old model?"  Also, I went to Chinese class last semester because I wanted to be able to speak Chinese.

If Ms. Agdal wants me to be jealous, she could start by getting a perfect score on the SATs, which I didn't.  Then she could be good at playing an instrument, which I'm not.  Then she could be a really good athlete and a really good dancer and singer, all of which I am not.  Then she could talk intelligently for an hour about anything at all that requires intelligence, proving that she is both beautiful and intelligent, in addition to being financially secure so that she never has to live in unsafe places where she is abused.  

I hope that, if she did those things, I would be happy for her, rather than jealous.  That's how I would try to feel. 

If she's jealous of me, I hope she gets over it.  Jealousy is a painful and frequently destructive emotion.

I don't resent J.K. Rowling's success; I object to her bigotry, hypocrisy and greed.

November 24, 2016




That's a picture of part of the first page of the New York Times's website.

I'm not the first person to notice discriminatory themes in her writing.  I read the Harry Potter books years ago and liked most of them, although I thought the 6th and the 7th weren't that good.  I didn't take a lot of issue with the many stereotypes in her books at that time; I was not then a political person and I had a lot of other things to think about, but the anti-Semitic characterization of Snape is undeniable.  Since I have gotten to be known to the world in which she lives, she has not only viciously targeted me but has written off the entire state of Vermont as an outrageously offensive and stigmatizing joke about mental illness.

Quidditch played by real people was started in Vermont.  If Vermont were a big state with a lot of people to buy books, movie tickets and merchandise, and if Vermont were known around the world, maybe she would care about the fans that she has had there, but she doesn't.  Millions of children are going to read her books and her vicious, bigoted joke will be, for most of them, everything they know about a state that never did anything to her and that can't help that I was born and spent most of my life there.

It also seems probable that whoever publishes Ms. Rowling's Twitter is hacking my phone, and with hostile intent to publicly bully me and threaten people.  


This is the address for the first page of results for a Google search of the term "jk rowling native american culture":



It's typically disingenuous that her "Newt Scamander" franchise is something that she's trying to portray to the world as being anti-fascist instead of a promotion of sexual crime.  

She's not attacking me because she needs money; she's a bully.  If anyone is resentful, she's resentful of me; I'm not a financial success, but I'm not a sell-out.  

Ms. Rowling is critical of Mr. Trump, but she's in a corrupt partnership with the movie business to produce movies indelibly connecting the state that Mr. Sanders represents with a gross, stupid, bigoted joke.  

"Mentally ill people masturbate a lot, and they're from Vermont or live there."  Not in so many words, isn't that what she's saying?  Why did she think that the name of a school for children ought to be a joke like that?  Why did she think that anything for children's literature or movies should be a joke like that?

Most people who have psychiatric histories are rejected by society because of their psychiatric histories and not because they're crazy.  Unless you're going to be a rapist, having sex with another person requires that person's consent.  Why someone who has a psychiatric history is stigmatized for masturbating, while rape victims are stigmatized for being raped and rapists are not stigmatized, is a social conundrum which Ms. Rowling seems content to profit from rather than to question.

What I think about the SICK, SADISTIC, ILLEGAL videos of me, filmed from hidden cameras in the showers of the homeless shelters and psychiatric facilities where I have had to live during these years of persecution by the conglomerate, is that they are proof of the crime of voyeurism being repeatedly committed against me, and also of how much I don't want to date evil, rich people, no matter how many years of poverty and celibacy are forced on me because I said a movie star didn't have the right to call me a c--- for not wanting to date him.

Someone didn't get his oatmeal, I guess.

Those are pictures of messages that someone sent to my current YouTube blog, "The railing is too low at the library," last night.  The name of that blog is about the railing at the children's section of the Boston Public Library in Copley Square, which is the main public library.  The library has gotten overhauled over the past few years, and it's not surprising that the conglomerate's promotion of child abuse has resulted in architectural design for which the safety of children is not considered a priority.  

I can't ban messages to my YouTube blogs so that nobody is able to write to me.  When people write to me, I am able to erase their messages and block them at each blog that they write to, but I can't stop them before they write to me.  Almost every week, another abuser writes to me.

At my YouTube blog, I didn't publish the messages from the person whose profile name and picture impersonate Mr. Brimley; they were automatically published when they were sent to the blog.  

I don't know how the YouTube system decides which messages to publish and which not to publish.  These are pictures of the messages that weren't published:
