I talk about my own mental illness treatment and psychiatrists and psychotherapy. I post my art, which is nicely odd and deep and poorly planned out, which is its greatest strength.

All of you, whether friends from Twixter or new ones here, have been the best.

Did I leave the psych hospital when I shouldn't have? Thank goodness for a therapy appointment later today. Hard to make decisions when mentally unwell.

I need a commiserating partner! Otherwise, I'm fine being alone. Did have a good commisseration session w my uber driver today over white house destruction, ice, etc. This was particularly good because he's from an African country.

One of the last things on Xitter before I deactivated today was a reply where the anonymous acct told me I'm a horrible person. And they added a lecture about my past affiliations w antipsych, how I once sought support there before turning my back. Mostly I don't need others telling me I'm horrible.

So tired I could barely move and then I fall into my bed and it’s pain here, pain there, mild enough but everywhere I turned. I would cry if I could cry, but instead I get suicidal thoughts.

Asserting that psychiatry is just dumb use of the DSM, reducing everyone and everything to disorders and codes and destroying humanity and all meaning in life, lacks nuance. You can see that, right? I'm not being that funny or overly dramatic in portraying that view.

My goal in psychiatric treatment is stability and in psychotherapy, to not feel so imprisoned within my self. Returning to work isn’t the goal.

I know they're hard to see, some of them, but in general the scope of my art is working off the subconscious and psychological, in a strong way.

Thanks. These are stream of consciousness drawings, unplanned. I just go with what happens and happens next.

When a movement that claims they are in favour of informed consent and against coercive treatment find themselves in a carnal relationship with MAHA/MAGA, things can get awkward. Be careful what you wish for.

I love how the antis act like CCHR is a legit organisation, when everyone knows it is an official wing of Scientology. It’s not even a secret. www.scientology.org/how-we-help/...

If Scientology is promoting your work, maybe it’s time to consciously uncouple from these bedfellows.

SSRIs aren't the worst! I also laugh at the notion. "He doesn’t roll his eyes at people who say psychiatry traumatized them. He thinks a lot of them are telling the truth." Yes, treatment is full of bad & good encounters. Sikorav Against the World www.psychiatrymargins.com/p/sikorav-ag...

I've got a joke about new paradigms and alternatives to replace psychiatry, but it just won't materialize.

Mental illness is all to real to those struggling with it, and to their families. Don’t accept denial as an answer.

Virginia Republicans leaned hard into anti-trans propaganda as part of their main messaging in the final months of this campaign. It fell completely flat with voters. It did not resonate. Virginia Republicans came across as bizarre and detached from working class families.

The transphobic messaging completely failed to help Republicans tonight. The anti-trans propaganda was a losing strategy which the GOP pushed all their chips in on, and it failed miserably. They lost every major race tonight.
