I think it was triggered by postpartum depression when my brother was born. I was eight years old. She has been on SSRIs, MAOIs, lithium and had ECT. She had another episode when she was about 70, when her mother died.

Yeah, the healthy brain recovers from traumatic events and restores its equilibrium on its own.  Grief counselling and self-care are all the healthy brain requires.  Where there is depression, however, this recovery is not forthcoming, and the unfortunate reality is that medications are often required to facilitate it.  If she made it to 70, she's done a lot better than many who struggle with clinical depression.

Actually the mythical is very deep in us. People in the materialistic paradigm we're oppressed under may look at all of that as poppycock, but as is shown in the great book Trials of the Visionary Mind, by John Weir Perry
Quote:
"Stress may cause highly activated mythic images to erupt from the psyche's deepest levels in the form of turbulent visionary experience."


Surely those here who are psychedelically experienced can dig this...? That suddenly nature can seem mythical, as can things that happen in the trip, and inner experience. In fact much of mythology has been inspired from psychedelics, and their presence is cryptically being refereed to in all forms, both at a literary level, and also in symbolism---worldwide in mythologies!

A favourite mythical 'god' of mine is Dionysos who I am attracted to. he was called the god of many names and one was the god of MASKS



And of course also the god of DRAMA. Drama is supposed to start with this effeminate god. IE 'he' is ambiguous, male AND female...?

Don't we know drama when we take a trip. Isn't that the essence of drama

Just some questions

it is very important to realize that the mind is not subject to reason.
it is also very important to realize that other people's minds are not subject to your reason.
still,
not every child wants to play nicely with the others,
and then there are habits one falls into.
mwahahaha...

Well in the mythology of Dionysos the god~man differentiated between two types of madness, divine madness, and the madness that can come from suppressing divine madness. As I said, s/he was also called the god of many names and a name was also the god of madness

Supressing divine madness is what this civilization is all about with its so-called 'war on drugs' which very much includes war on psychedelics and psychedelic experience.
Psychedelic experience can involve what we may call nonrationality which rationalists would call madness

More and more people, especially the youth, drink themselves into a stupour because they seek this kind of madness, but they are really using a VERY toxic drug to do it. One that is called a depressant. and take too much and you will rather get coma and death, and/or at least diseases which will be life threatening

We are forced into rigid masks. Social roles. People will ask, as is the custon, 'what do you DO?'. What you 'do' is supposed to define you as a person. The very term 'person' comes from 'persona' which means mask! You are foced to become a mask, rather than understand you wear many masks, and CAN do. Always changing always changing. That is natural

The madness the mythical character warned about is the kind of madness which suppresses these deeper parts of ourself, and then you are mad but are not aware of it. The Madness Pride Movement will use the terms 'madness' and 'insanity' to differente to radical different meanings of madness.
The culture which suppresses madness is insane, and the people who see through it, and this 'seeing through' can manifest in ways the person seeing through may not even understand, and which is called 'mental illness', but those who are aware what is going on embrace their madness. They embrace what the insane culture calls madness. This doesn't mean they love distress etc, but they are rather seeing what is going on. The bigger picture.

Martin Luther King encapsulates what we mean in this quote:
Quote:
There are some things in our nation and in our world to which I’m proud to be maladjusted… I never intend to adjust myself to segregation and discrimination. I never intend to become adjusted to religious bigotry. I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions that will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few, and leave millions of people perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of prosperity.  I never intend to adjust myself to the madness of militarism, and to the self-defeating effects of physical violence…

And I call upon you to be maladjusted to these things until the good society is realized…

Yes, I must confess that I believe firmly that our world is in dire need of a new organization – the International Association for the Advancement of Creative Maladjustment…Through such maladjustment we will be able to emerge from the bleak and desolate midnight of man’s inhumanity to man, into the bright and glittering daybreak of freedom and justice.

—Martin Luther King, Jr.

i just fell asleep and had a fucking retarded dream where i was a ghost. fuck.

i was wondering around, everything was really slow and fuzzy; i felt like  i was floating and incorporeal and was gonna go to the hospital to get help, but i couldn't open the front door of my house, so i couldn't get out. i went to get the phone... i was looking for my mother's phone number and i couldn't find it, so i called 911. the phone didn't respond to my dialing it. so i went to my computer, and as i looked upon my screen, lo and behold i was looking, apparently, at suicide.

so i went to my bathroom, and looked in the mirror. i was scared.

well, the message was pretty clear. i even had a false awakening. i got up, and i was like "wtf i must have sleepwalked" because i realized my front door was actually wide open, in the daytime, (even though before i couldn't even open it, and it was grey outside not bright like it was now) and so i thought "shit how long has it been open?" and closed it... then it all started again... i was a ghost again. so... :grin: "oh shit it's still a dream" *woke up*

i left that part out. the dream has a clear message. *shudder*

direct message from my brain.

oh sure. but it's ok. this morning, i had a dream where my evil twin had trapped me in this dingy factory place... and he tried to throw a sheet with a snake in it at me... it didn't startle me even, and his evilness was not effective... so i ran up the stairs to him... and ... lol... i kicked a soccer ball that was laying there straight at him, and it hit him and made him fly into the wall like 10 feet away, and then fall down a chute where he raised his hands up and fell yelling "noooooooo" as he smacked everything on the way down and landed with a resounding splat.

my brain literally tickled, and was laughing as this occurred. so... i can't be that bad up there.

i still feel like sleep resounds in me right now. i've had a coffee and everything and i still feel tired. :nonono:
