Hello,
I wish, for my sake, I didn't understand your frustration and despair. However, since I had a psychotic break two years ago I have been half a person, heavily medicated and unable to tell where my ilness comes from. I have a dwindling social-life and no libido. I supress suspicions everyday.
However, I can't agree with your atheism. Faith in God and the compassion born from that faith has been one of the ways I feel whole despite the dis-integration of mental-illness. I read you have practiced meditation. I urge you to return to that practice and cultivate a compassion that extends to yourself and begins to heal. I can tell, from your post, that you are a very compassionate person and I admire your righteous anger on behalf on the mentally ill. But I have found, when I have nothing, that only my relation to the spirit world restores me.
