This discussion is going off on a tangent. But it is about message board regulations in general. So I will post this here. About the God-helps-those-who-help-themselves thing. I tell people, when Richard Burton gets drunk and forgets his lines, everyone thinks it's brilliant. He's reinterpreting "Hamlet", they say. When I talk about a new scientific theory, everyone thinks it's stupid, because I am the one who thought of it. That God-helps-those things works the other way. When I say something perfectly innocent, people think there must be something very wrong with it. Not because there ever is. Not even remotely, like with the God-helps-those thing. But because I said it. I was also talking with this lady recently. I have Schizotypal Personality Disorder. My doctor seems to indicate I probably don't have mental deficiency though. But I was probably directed into an education program in GS and HS more geared towards my abilities. I did well in GS and HS. But tend to get my information in small bites. That actually might be more of a concentration thing anyways. But this lady said, now they are a little more open which class group they put you in. I have a relative who obviously has intellectual problems (though outwardly he appears quite normal and has a nice job requiring a high college degree). But he did poorly in school. Probably because he was put in the wrong program. He might have just absorbed information differently. Like me. Speaking of how people absorb their information. The fact some people just absorb information differently than others doesn't mean they aren't entitled to the same information as everyone else. That fact, that they don't have the same info as everyone else, and I am speaking generally now understand, can get be dangerous and can even get you into a lot of trouble in our society.
More. Yeah, I am never rude with the police. If I were I probably would have gotten arrested by now. I actually have never had a bad experience with the police. Though I agree, they are kind of rude sometimes. But it's worth pointing out, if I was ever arrested, what if I spent the night in jail? I have Cerebral Palsy. I could never defend myself in place like that. Plus I have problems with breathing due to my CP. Not saying this could ever have happen: But if the police or anyone else ever beat me up. What if I went into a coma? With my breathing difficulties I may not survive it. At the very least they couldn't lay me on my back. I stop breathing if I am laid on my back in a certain position. Probably due to sleep apnea. Or maybe the CP? I don't know anymore. (My doctors have told me now though, okay we agree. You obviously have Cerebral Palsy.)
Yeah, I didn't know this section of the boards even existed. Thanks mod's for bringing it to my attention . It's very odd for me or really anyone on these boards to get a warning of any kind. Because as I've said before, you mod's are very hands-off. But thanks again . Yeah, I do sometimes talk a lot because I have a lot of information to share with everyone and all groups. But in the future I will be careful to make sure it's in right section. Maybe next time if I'm not sure, message a moderator first. That's what I often do on other boards.
Part of the secrecy and other stuff involving my mental treatment seems to be because of my political views. I'm serious. I think they are very mainstream, especially now. And I only have SPD. But I didn't know that someone's politics could affect their mental health care. That sounds like something that they'd do in the 50's. Also, the fact most people in the outside world didn't know this was even happening in my life was the problem. Maybe I should tell more people about how I have been mistreated by the mental health industry since I was a kid. Or get more people involved in any event.
Yeah, it is becoming clear that much of the secrecy surrounding my medical treatment, especially as a young adult, has had something to do with my political views. I'm serious. I have SPD. But I have never had behavioral issues or been in trouble with the law. And, the reason for the secrecy is also because they knew if others found out, they would be as outraged as I am. My political views are very mainstream now. They certainly have never been harmful or controversial. I think I will take a more direct approach to this. In 1992 I was involuntarily hospitalized and forcibly medicated for wearing loose-fitting plastic gloves that could lead to "infection and death". It was all silliness, when I was on the witness stand during my proceeding to be involuntarily hospitalized. Though I still wonder what the onlookers in the court thought of it all. If they want issue out of my political views, I think we should and I will next time I will for sure. And any time that may follow. And. I will also bring up all the ways I was abused by the system over the years. That was never brought up in 1992. I now realize it should have been, as I always will from now on.
