Lately I've been waking, briefly in the night experiencing derealization. It's a common experience upon waking but it's been scaring me. I can't really recall exactly what is going on but I've been having some sort of repetitive dream that wakes me and then I'm in that condition for a while. Last night was the... Continue Reading →
New Blog, amazing story
This young woman has a classic story of being unnecessarily drugged up, but she did escape!! The whole post telling her story is intense and painful and also beautiful and well worth reading. The part that had particular significance for me since I have yet to withdraw from Klonopin and I'm finding the same liberation... Continue Reading →
Continuation….
I just very carefully went through the album mentioned in the post below, page by page and looked long and hard at every picture of my beloved brother.

I find it both entertaining enough and disturbing enough to highlight it again as Ben Hansen has been interviewed about his... Continue Reading →
Side-effects of psychotropic drugs lead to many ER visits
The Vancouver Sun has an interesting article on side effects of drugs being the cause of 12% of ER hospital visits. I don't doubt it's just as high or higher in the US. Most notable from the article: Central nervous system medications such as opioid painkillers, antipsychotics for those with mental health issues, sleeping pills,... Continue Reading →
This is a test, this is only a test
I have spent these last couple of days away from the blogosphere. Some of you may not know why I posted that I was no longer writing. In an earlier post I explained that several people had been harassing me, leading me to stop writing. In response to that post I received an email that... Continue Reading →
Blog will be up for the time being as a resource
Comments are closed. Though it looks like you can leave comments on older posts, they are not being processed or looked at. I hope that in time I can write again. I really can't imagine not having this as part of my life. So I must simply see how this plays out. If you are... Continue Reading →
