ACTION

Anger, I am told is right below the surface; with lots of it.

Not, that I am wrong but a bit, “Way over the top!” By a long time doctor and sister.

Ground into my gut; while stuck in my throat.

Everyone’s got a say; a right to get my goat.

Right wasn’t how I was treated!.  Heck missed fractures, screwed with my professional life and all while I was either over or under medicated most of the time.

Fracked up I was. Locked into the extremely bad Doc’s  care ‘n’ of OKC Trauma Center; is my opinion.

Least I have a right to my opinion. Not fair these got to others to choose where my medicare was given to me.

Arranged were long IQ tests by yet a stupid intern; because I made a super lab test rat.

Really had no caring for sharing how to do it right! What it was all about!  Or, look up the drugs that given would surely drive all IQ’s to the gutter from any cluster!

Erase their mistakes or state them right; they were mistaken.

Sir, No sir! Not fair for me.  Never cared for my career. 

Supposedly, the public I would treat.

After all it is their duty to the public; asses forgot I was their patient and public too.

Fair is what I care.  Right I understand. Take care of the public with my interests at hand!

Tell the world about my secrets.

All the need to know is judgement by another pharmacist.

Ecclesiastics tells of a time for everything. 

Right will get you when God demands. Saying this to you and myself.

Mild brain injury! Sure if screwed with anger, that is mild.

Traumatic to me doesn’t describe the personal revelations of blank I must come to terms with and face.

Brain, I know I have the ability to achieve; heck work is the one place I still excel.

Injury, Imangine how you would feel actually having injuries; feeling crazy, turned around living here and there.

And, what else have I missed?

When is key in my career. A major incidental developmental occurred in a jump for my profession. Due to delay, I missed a chance.

Rounding which base now? Always I feel like I can never go home for me the old Sandra does not exist.

Exchange these years to go back to a different future. No that isn’t what I’m saying. Would have been nice to treated with some respect.

Calling this all what? I have to be compelled to answer; collections of my outbursts.

Klinging to the past? I am not either!

Amplify this

Now by

Going on Empty

Revolving in a door is surreal.

Now is the time to

Open the

Window and breathe to expel

as much anger as I can.

God please let me do so I can understand!

Is nonconformity and freethinking a mental illness? According to the newest addition of the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ofMental Disorders), it certainly is. The manual identifies a new mentalillness called “oppositional defiant disorder” or ODD. Defined as an“ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” symptomsinclude questioning authority, negativity, defiance,argumentativeness, and being easily annoyed.

The DSM-IV is the manual used by psychiatrists to diagnose mental illnesses and, with each new edition, there are scores of new mentalillnesses. Are we becoming sicker? Is it getting harder to be mentallyhealthy? Authors of the DSM-IV say that it’s because they’re betterable to identify these illnesses today. Critics charge that it’sbecause they have too much time on their hands.

New mental illnesses identified by the DSM-IV include arrogance, narcissism, above-average creativity, cynicism, and antisocialbehavior. In the past, these were called “personality traits,” but nowthey’re diseases.

And there are treatments available.

All of this is a symptom of our over-diagnosing and overmedicating culture. In the last 50 years, the DSM-IV has gone from 130 to 357mental illnesses. A majority of these illnesses afflict children.Although the manual is an important diagnostic tool for the psychiatricindustry, it has also been responsible for social changes. The rise inADD, bipolar disorder, and depression in children has been largelybecause of the manual’s identifying certain behaviors as symptoms. AWashington Post article observed that, if Mozart were born today, hewould be diagnosed with ADD and “medicated into barren normality.”

According to the DSM-IV, the diagnosis guidelines for identifying oppositional defiant disorder are for children, but adults can just aseasily suffer from the disease. This should give any freethinkingAmerican reason for worry.

The Soviet Union used new “mental illnesses” for political repression. People who didn’t accept the beliefs of the Communist Partydeveloped a new type of schizophrenia. They suffered from thedelusion of believing communism was wrong. They were isolated,forcefully medicated, and put through repressive “therapy” to bringthem back to sanity.

When the last edition of the DSM-IV was published, identifying the symptoms of various mental illnesses in children, there was a jump inthe diagnosis and medication of children. Some states have laws thatallow protective agencies to forcibly medicate, and even make it apunishable crime to withhold medication. This paints a chilling picturefor those of us who are nonconformists.

Although the authors of the manual claim no ulterior motives but simply better diagnostic practices, the labeling of freethinking andnonconformity as mental illnesses has a lot of potential for abuse. Itcan easily become a weapon in the arsenal of a repressive state.
