100%. a lot of psychiatry is based on a terrifying combination of telling people that natural variations in the human experiences and/or perfectly understandable, if maladaptive, patterns of behaviours and emotional responses to an extremely effed up world (see: literally everything else in this thread), is an illness indistinguishable from a physical illness that the ‘patient’ has no control over, that the ‘patient’ as a result lacks a degree of autonomy/sanity AND that the psychiatrist has the treatment/cures. but when antipsychotic drugs are scientifically proven to shrink a persons brain yet are prescribed for insomnia and depression, and increasing numbers of studies are coming out showing many psychiatric ‘treatments’ are barely more effective than placebo, i find it hard to believe. and they’re doing this for what? money for big pharma? control? i’m not anti-psychiatry or anti-medication, i think certain therapies and drugs can have a degree of benefit in some situations, and it’s okay to make that informed choice if you believe it’s right for you, i’m on an antidepressant and sleeping pill myself currently so it’d be hypocritical to argue anything else. but if you haven’t already you might like looking into radical mental health, there’s a few subreddits on reddit for it, namely r/radicalmentalhealth as the name suggests. personally i’ve found communities like that helpful. lastly, i just wanna say i’m so sorry for your loss and i hope you’re coping as well as you can be with the stuff you’re dealing with, i’m sending you all the love
yes, i saw! i’m gonna sit and binge all the DEW videos now.
i thought elisa was naked or had stripped off and (disgusting i know) the water discolouration was from the natural decomposition of her body, and after a quick search lots of sources come up saying she was found floating naked. regardless, as you said, it’s a horrible way to go. no one deserves that.
sleep well and enjoy the documentary
