www.ridiculusmus.com/shows/in-rep/eradication-schizophrenia-western-lapland/“If the title is a mouthful, the show itself is a mindful” A Younger Theatre The Eradication of Schizophrenia in Western Lapland is informed by a treatment for psychosis that has seen amazing results in Western Lapland. Ridiculusmus travelled to the region to study this radical new therapy as the starting point of their own creative journey.

I LOVE alternative theatre like this. I reckon this would be amazing to watch. I see it was on tour up north.. what a shame to have missed it.
I think theatre is a very powerful way of getting a message across to people, have seen it work myself in a similar way.

One of the problems with schizophrenia is that it is shrouded in mystery and people know nothing about it. It needs to be talked about more and only when it is understood by most will it begin to lose its stigma. The problem is that some people will never get it, I have a friend who watched a programme on living with schizophrenia recently: they didn't watch it all and made jokes about the sufferers on it. I think those who go to see this will already be open minded and interested enough to understand it.

They may be interested in experimental theatre or mental health; they may learn something and tell their friends. I tend to think that if someone laughs at people with sz on a TV programme they'd laugh at other conditions too. It's the lack of a culture of kindness in the education system and often in life that's to blame imo.

I don't know. The person is a bigot in general. I suppose it's healthy to have friends with a wide range of views, at least that's what I am telling myself.

((((DDB))) I agree it is healthy to have friends with different views. The people I know tease each other about their voting ways for example. Generally they are all good people though. No one would laugh at sz or anything like that. I guess sometimes people don't know what to say and are clumsy maybe in how they respond which is ok . But someone who was generally a bigot...you could do better than that. You are clever and good. x

I know. He knows I had a psychotic episode though and still talks to me, so there is that. He even wants to sleep with me despite this so he can't be that bad. I don't mean to offend anyone by that and it doesn't bother me if someone has been psychotic but for 'normal' people it appears to be a turn off, or should I say for a bigot it is.

Hey there,,, less of "he even wants to sleep with me". He doesn't sound much of a prize.... I know that being psychotic carries stigma but read over what you have written as though it were I who had written it. What would you say to me?
The thing is... sometimes we have sex with people because for a brief time we are not so lonely and I really understand that. I slept with people when younger so that I didn't have to sleep rough. I slept with someone to get another person a bed for the night. It takes a bit away each time afterwards of your self esteem. Fine if you really want to have the high of sex... but it is just the phrase you used made my heart sink for you. Yes I know it has stigma and it has a turn off effect. But your MH is your business ... you don't have to tell people . xxx
I know this was a very long time ago for me.. Please be kinder to yourself... you don't see in yourself what we see here. xxxxxxx

I can't say that I particularly like sex, but I do get lonely. I know it's not going anywhere though. He doesn't understand mh issues and if I ever get ill again it would be a disaster. It's been about a year now on and off (with a long off) but I end up caving in.
I think he knows it isn't going anywhere. It is probably loneliness but it could be a self esteem thing in a strange way because he is a bit younger than me. But he is immature with it.
Maybe I should go back to my ex because he is very understanding but I don't fancy him now and he would want intimacy.
I spend a lot of time trying to please other people and I don't want to be a bitch to anyone and I would really rather be friends with this bigot guy. It sounds ridiculous but I don't want to disappoint him. If I had more friends it wouldn't be a problem. I spend more time talking online to strangers than anything else. Maybe I could afford to be more choosy about real life friends if I had a lot of them.
So I am sleeping with a guy just to have company and he thinks I'm really into it, so all I see in myself is a deceitful cow I am afraid. He knows it's not going anywhere and I have told him I would rather be friends but he wouldn't come round if he didn't get what he wanted. Whatever others think of me I Don't think much of myself for doing this..

Oh people sleep with each other for all kinds of reasons, we don't judge. If you get out of it what you want and you feel your self-image is not threatened, then who is to say otherwise?
I don't think you should call yourself a deceitful cow though, what will all the cows think 😊 Please be kind to yourself and try and do some positive self-talk to convince you you're worth it.

Thank you. I know, I shouldn't sully the names of cows though. The situation just feels wrong to me, that's all, it feels like he is just killing time until someone worth dating properly comes along anyway. We are both as bad as each other.
Anyway am going off topic.. sorry..

((((DDB)))) Pressing a like button for what you say isn't really appropriate. Just to say I read this and care and wish for better times to come x
