So much of the things that are going on in the world that I find hard to wrap my mind around are the types of things that come up after we have been traumatized. These are the things that we feel that we can’t fully understand, and that we never wanted to know. Like the thoughts of rape, child molestation, or being imprisoned for a crime we did not commit.
I’m not sure why the general public feels that they have to be on the side of the victims. Like rape and child molestation, we are not the victims. We have no control over those things, even after we’ve been through them.
I agree with the idea that we should not label these things as the “victims” and that it is better if we just move on. I also agree that the general public have to be kept safe, but I don’t think that the general public should be made the ones who are made safe. We are not the victims and we should not be made the victims.
Mental health is something that we shouldn’t be made to fear, but that we should be given the resources to heal when we need to. I am not saying that we should be made to fear mental health, but that we should be given the resources to heal when we need to. The first step is to identify the problem. If you have a disorder, you should be given the resources to address it.
As much as we want to point fingers at each other, it’s important to be honest about how mental health affects us all. There are things that are treatable, while other things are not. Depression and anxiety have both been proven to affect a person’s ability to work, to socialize, and to do ordinary things. These things are treatable, and that’s why we should all be treated as equally as possible. It’s also why we should all be treated as equally as possible.
Some of us are more likely to be prone to depression or anxiety than others. But even those that don’t have these mental problems have a higher chance of developing them as adults. We all need support, and as such the support that we receive from various sources should be seen as equally valued.
Mental illness is a big one in the US, and we are all guilty of it. We are all capable of things that are very dangerous to our health, as we’ve all seen in previous generations. But we are all capable of treatment and support, and if these things don’t exist in other countries we aren’t going to develop them here.
I have to admit, it’s quite an unusual topic for me to talk about in this blog. I have always been aware of mental illness, but I never considered it would be my blog. But I do think it is a very real and very disturbing phenomenon. I think the biggest source of mental illness in the US is the war on drugs, and the prison industrial complex. The system was set up to keep people in prison as long as possible, and that means that mental illness is rampant.
I think the thing that makes it so damaging is that the government is also trying to keep people in prison. This is not a problem that has been going on for as long as we’ve been talking. There have always been people who commit crimes. I can remember that in my first job back in the mid-80s I used to be a part of a group of people who were working on getting an illegal drug into the US.
The problem was that it wasn’t just one group that was getting caught up in it. In many cases, people who had mental illness were involved in it. One of the most interesting bits in the trailer (which was the best thing, if you can say that) was the fact that the government is making it much harder to get treatment for people with mental illnesses. Instead of just having people apply for treatment, they are now trying to keep everyone in jail.
