considering mental illness...

I believe that mental illness is probably one of the saddest maladies known to man. It's so misunderstood...and hard to diagnose...even harder to manage with medication. It is trial and error. The best case scenario would be to medicate the person so that thier personality is altered just enough to trick the brain into not being triggered by the everyday occurences that, in the normal brain, would result in a laugh, perhaps a sigh, perhaps an expletive, but in the brain of the mentally ill, would send them over the edge. This is what a mentally ill person can expect as quality of life, nice......sad.
I pose this to you: what if there is no mental illness??? What if these persons are simply on a mental "holiday?" Seriously, haven't you ever just wanted to have a freak out but thought better of it cuz we were" raised better than that???" I have...
Think about how liberating it would be to just be able to do and say whatever you wanted to do and say and you knew that those around you would simply chalk it up to thier "illness?"
Take the price of gas.....when it went over $2.00 a gallon I wanted to have a freak out!!!! then, of course, anything brought in by truck went up in price, as well: milk, cheese....what I wanted to do was to jump up and down and have a fit, after all, everybody know the federal government controls the price of gas and if they wanted to could they could change that....
How about when someome irritates you??? Sometimes I want to yell at them and tell them to "shut thier cakehole!!!" Do I? Of course not...
How about lines at the bank??? Those people who go through the drive-through and take thier time and then count thier change and put things back in thier purse....you know who I'm talkin' about. You want to go up to thier window and tell them, "Loser, move on...." but you don't...
What if you could and get away with it?? Wouldn't that be so liberating?
