A Schizophrenic Experience Kindle Edition

In A Schizophrenic Experience, dark truths are met with wry, absurdist humor in a deeply moving tragicomedy of mental illness. This poetic memoir paints a vivid portrait of psychosis that's unsettling as it is strangely funny, blending heartbreak and hope in every page. A philosophically chaotic retelling of a schizo's experience during psychosis and anti-psychotic medication withdrawal. This book discusses a schizos history, and attempts an emotionally charged criticism of psychotherapy, and preforms an analysis of its theories and history.Musing poetically over politics, economic theory, and animal welfare A Schizophrenic Experience is a raw and organic testimony that maintains a grip on the idiosyncratic experience of the mentally ill that accumulates until the reality is unleashed on the page before the readers very eyes. Written during a year of psychosis and withdrawal from medication this book takes a look at writers like R.D. Laing. Karl Marx. Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Nietzsche with fevered clarity."We are Parásitos. The mentally ill and the psychotherapists that treat us are the “welcome but uninvited co-eater at a guest meal” in the modern capitalist world. The parasitic situation of the patient and the mental health worker in today’s capitalist systems of healthcare is stealing the virtues of human perception and prolonging a meaningless hope.""The apple of knowledge is the forbidden fruit needed to fix the contradictions of clinical psychotherapy we see in the many failures of the mental health system. But one should not, as obvious as it should be, go into such knowledge unprepared. The apple of knowledge will let the analyst and the schizo know they are naked before God. Shall I, the schizo take the roll of eve and ask of all the psychotherapists that they eat. I suppose it is fitting now that psychotherapy has restructured the Oedipus complex to be the object of bourgeoisie envy, the system of desire we are obliged to serve to validate our experience. We have the loving psychotherapist. The perfect man, Adam, who lives in a garden of perfection. A garden where even gender is the spawn of such a perfect man, where even, me eve, the schizo, is a mere rib in his complexity. Let us imagine the snake is Freud. The snake that popularized psychotherapy. Without the popularization of psychotherapy, we might have had one good fortune, eve, me, the schizo, may have never eaten the apple and, Adam, the psychotherapist, and me, the schizo, eve, would have lived in medicated perfection. With the garden at our hand, we have access to medicine of all kinds. We can bask in the glory of the wonderful creations of our God. Has the schizo eaten the forbidden fruit? Has the schizo modified the orders of God and banished us from the garden? The GMO’s, street drugs, pesticides, ideologies, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, misinformation, factory farmed food, and all the dangers of our vulnerable biochemistry are markings of our original sin. The only thing that can save us from the knowledge of self in psychotherapy is allowing ourselves the love of God. The benevolent, omnipotent, pharmaceutical industry. May we repent our indecent attempt to cover ourselves in the light of our flawed and vulnerable humanity and may we gracefully accept the garments that God gives us in our primitive depression and shame.""For the past 3 years I have been under the care of Dr. Jocasta Poland and Dr. Wilbur Guy. As a medicated patient I was always very proud of the way I was treated by my psychotherapists. I was often told how well it appeared I was doing and I felt I was a good patient. However this was mostly due to the fact that I had grown into this role over many years and when you're crazy, you learn to shut your mouth. Despite the constant lack of recognition for the inner world I perceived, Dr. Jocasta and Dr. Guy saw me as a healthy patient." Read more
