An Experienced First Person Perspective
By, and For, the Psychiatrized
This page is, as it suggests, is for the participation of the Dissatisfied Psychiatric Survivor and is for the purposes of venting, offering alternatives/ideas that seemed to work for the individual writer who is contributing, and any resources on line or otherwise, that he or she found helpful.
Individuals may contribute their own work to this page no more than two or three times a year, so if you have a lot to say, make it a long post. The reason for this limitation is that I do not want to end up editing an online newspaper while ignoring my own work on the website for which I created it in the first place.
To post here, you are required to register your e-mail to my site. You do not need to accept a newsletter or involve yourself in the CounterPsych Forum when you do, although you can if you want to do so, and you can also refuse delivery of any mail when you register. I require this for identification purposes only as it tends to keep the harassers away if they think they are known.
All writing must be submitted to me in it's final form, along with your name and e-mail address. I will not accept it for posting here unless the following conditions are met:
1. No foul language, cursing etc.
2, Do not name specifically your psychiatrist(s) or the institutions in which you were incarcerated. I am taking care of my, and your, liability problems by keeping the names out.
3. Do not suggest any form of violence against self or others, including threats of suicide and/or murder.
I reserve the right to refuse to post any submission, without reasons given, other than that this is my website and I will keep it directed in the way I want it to go.
If the above conditions are met, I will do nothing more than run a spell check through it, so be sure it is in the form you want it to be in before you send it. You may request to have your own essay/post accepted and/or removed at any time by notifying me at:
Patricia-CounterpsychSPAMAWAY@live.ca
Patricia@SPAMAWAYCounterPsych.com
(In both cases remove the word SPAMAWAY and close the space.)
This is a PUBLIC Page so please keep that in mind at all times and be aware that you can use this space to help, or to harm, yourself and all other psychiatrized persons, depending upon what you say, and HOW you say it, so speak from the wisdom of your own personal experience as best you can and help to change the world for the better.
Disclaimer:
The opinions, experiences and feelings expressed by the writers contributing to this page of my Website, are his or her own, and do not necessarily reflect my own experience, opinions or feelings. Though I am very often in agreement with many of the ideas of other psychiatrized persons, that is not always the case just as it is not always the case with 'experts' or the yet to BE psychiatrized, who just may sometimes now be working as professionals in the mental illness system.
(Just as has been said about me from four feet away, "you never know "...)
