Let’s talk about mental illness, stigma, assholes, and politics There are a lot of non-doctor doctors diagnosing people of mental illnesses via long distance.

I ranted about mental illness stigma and politics.

“I have Bipolar 2. I experience mania, depression, anxiety and irritability, among other things. Good times. What I do not experience as a symptom is chronic asshole behavior syndrome.”

I feel nothing. I feel weight. The weight of nothing bearing down on my chest, crushing against my lungs. Breathing requires conscious effort, as my body has forgotten its natural rhythm.

White text on a black background. The word mug is highlighted in green.

Aunt Tracy is washing dishes. Washing one
dish, over and over. Happy anniversary.
There's coffee left in the pot she brewed, and I pour the remains into a mug for myself. Usually I wouldn't, as it doesn't mix well with my meds. But today I don't care about the side effects.
The coffee is cold. Aunt Tracy has been up for a while. I don't bother heating it up.
"Good morning, Cainen." The sound of her using my new name is jarring. Like a metal rod being jammed into my back. On today of all days.
I fight the urge to crawl back to my room.
Back into the closet. To keep living the lie that is Clementine. Keep being the daughter my parents wanted.
Would they rather have a dead daughter or a
living son?
I guess I'll never know what they wanted. I know which option I'd prefer, though. The one that means I don't have to live without them. The one that means I don't have to betray their memory every day.
Where I don't have to live with Aunt Tracy, or window shop for therapists, or move schools every year like clockwork.
I'd take being a dead daughter over this in a
heartbeat.

White text on a black background. The word forums is highlighted in green.

"Rules were made by those in power to keep
us down," the girl says. "The conch shell is an attempt to control and silence us, to create an illusion of order in a world that thrives on chaos."
"Lene, please," Dr. Howard says. "Let's keep
things moving." He's gotten used to her pseudo-intellectual rambling. It's quickly becoming my favorite part of the week.
"Sure, let's keep things moving. That's
exactly the kind of thing an Anti-Marxists agent of rampant hyper-capitalist consumerism would say.
Gotta keep the machine going. Keep up the status quo.
",
"I bet she hasn't even heard of Marx outside
of Internet forums," Wright says.
I'm mostly glad no one else can hear him, but
his increasingly-frequent quips have started to make it rather difficult to keep a straight face. I almost snort aloud.
I dunno, I kinda like her.
"Of course you do. You haven't read Marxist
theory, either. I'm sure you'd get along great."

I’m a bit late, but here’s the #WIPsnips for today. The word is #forum. I went with the plural form. Featuring a scene from group therapy.

White text on a black background. The word “converting” is highlighted in green.

Without thinking my fingers curl into a fist. 
I stretch them back out into a normal position.
Don't get angry. Sadness is manageable. But
rage? Rage is uncontrollable, damaging. Sadness won't kill anyone but yourself. Rage is how people become serial killers.
Converting my rage into sadness is easy. It means I don't have to worry about lashing out and hurting people, or getting into fights at school over some petty comment. So instead of being angry, I'm sad. It's better for everyone that way. If I didn't, I'd have been expelled or in jail a long time ago.
I don't know how long I spend asleep or awake, flitting between sleep stages like a ghost weaving between graves in a cemetery, dreaming and waking, nonsensical thoughts blurring between then and now.
I am prepared to sink into an endless pit of despair— that's what being home alone is for, after all— but instead I find myself confronted by a thin shred of something resembling optimism, like the pale rays of sunlight sneaking through the blackout curtains in my room.

Medications: Part Fourteen I had a really good weekend. I’m feeling less anxious from the Honda’s airbags randomly deploying as the days pass. I’m noticing I’m still on edge a bit. I’m still needing my PRN anxiety medication…

I did not watch #Trump speech Wednesday night. He’s told so many lies, everything he’d say I’d be thinking “Is that true? I bet he’s telling another lie.” Then I’m sure he’d get off topic and go full narcissist talking about himself.

White text on a black background. The word sand is highlighted in green.

I bite down on the thick, coarse fabric of the
blanket to stifle the sob. It only makes the gagging worse. I swallow the acrid bile again. Choke it down.
Keep it down. Bury it.
Let it all crumble and fall, deep down into the bottomless pit of my subconscious where I don't have to think about it. Push it off the cliff. Push it down.
Hold it under water until it chokes and drowns and sinks. One with the sand and the silt at the bottom of the sea.

The #WIPsnips word for today is #beach. I went with #sand instead. I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this snippet before, though, but enjoy it again if you’ve seen it before. Cainen is having a bit of a mental breakdown.
