That's sad...

[Grandy]

Not too long ago, there was this project at my school to travel to Orionopolis, which is this place where they take care of people either mentally or physically ill that were abandoned by their families.

 The mentally ill people were, in moajority, really nice, though I couldn't undertand most of what they were saying, and there was this 56-or so years old guy who drawed with crayons.
 Let me say one thing: ONE THING you can't find someone who draw picture with crayons better than he did. It was PERFECT. He also could play keyboear, which he showed to us, and he didn't look mentally ill at all, aside from a little speech impediment (think something like "I'll play theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee keyboard") He was a really nice guy, on top of that.

 But that's not the sad part.

 There was this kid over there, called Patrick.
 Apparently his mother used drugs when pregnant, so he was born with two problems.
 He's blind, and deaf.

 See what I mean? I saw the boy over there, he spend all his time doing nothing, and all he can do is to feel things and taste things. He didn't move a inch from when we got there, just after someone touched his arm, he moved suddenly, and then stoped moving again.

 It wasn't a pretty sight, and I doubt I'll forget it so soon.

To sum it up: Drugs are bad.

This turned from something really touching to an anti-drug advertisement.

I say, let someone who's blind and deaf pass away. It's no life.

Mental Illness comes from things aside from drugs too dude. And they treat all of those Illnesses with DRUGs that are NOT TESTED VERY WELL.

I had a psychaitrist....And after my fifth year of being diagnosed with paranoid Schizophrenia, he took me off the pills, and very discreetly told me not to quit smoking pot. Not a word of a lie. His exact words were "If its not hurting, and its allowing you to sleep, and behave functionally without medication, and aleiviating the anxiety stress, its helping"

Genetics are a key factor. Genitic succepability is offen a main factor. The drugs often act as a catalyst. Most people who choose to do street drugs are not going to have blind and deaf babies, and they arent going to go insane. But they will activate a latent genetics.
Not to mention offset the delicate chemical balances. Dormant sets of dominoes in your neurons.
A low seratonin count is a miserable thing. And Im not ever, going to get into the details of the experience here....





But yeah, I had to spend about 3 years off and on in a 'hospital', and honestly, some of the most talented people ive ever met were in that place.

About 40% of the people i met there, were there as a result of Crystal Meth, or Cocaine.

Alot of psych doctors refer to meth as "the schizophrenia inducer"


Meth is the worst, in my eyes. Id like that crap scoured of the face of the earth.

Medicinal Marijauna is not by any means reccomended for most psych patients. Quite the opposite. But everybody has slightly different chemistry to them...And for me, the pills DID NOT work.
Im quite thankfull I have marijuana to smoke.

And Im not gonna lie....I smoke it for enjoyment, before I smoke it for a medication. BUt the great thing is, if I use for enjoyment, I dont have to think of it like a medicine.


A doobie a day, Keeps the Crazies away.

 Would YOU kill him?


 Also, the last sentence, I just put it there 'cause I felt the post was too blank. I'll remove it, then.

I'd do it.

Of course, he'd have to somehow request it first.

 He can't communicate, in any way.

 Though he looked scared when someone touched him, I belive it's a signal he doesn't wants to die.

plight, I smoke weed, but don't be a little tard about it.
Smoking narcotics while pregnant fux your offspring.
So, Meiscool: Drugs are bad. For pregnant women.
Grandy, your theory doesn't make much sense.. people can not be afraid of death, but afraid of other stuff. Also, the kid was probably just confused. You can't really trust the body language of a kid who's never seen other people's body language in his life.

 Well, why'd someone be scared of something if not death? I don't think people have found a way to comunicate with him so he understand there is other things aside from death to fear, and I'm almost sure he doesn't know death exists, he must react with fear to when people touch him because of his instincts, most likely his instinct of survival.

 But you could be right about the body language, though I think his reaction was indeed of fear.

Blind and deaf?

Why didn't they go Helen Keller on him and teach him?

Money, time, and his family probally isn't rich like them there Kellers.

BTW, Plight, telling MrMister to **** himself is like telling Bush to do something stupid. You know he's already doing it.

Hehhehheheh.

I l'd right out loud.


Yeah. Money has alot to do with it.
Im not sure where this all went down, but if the healthcare is privatized, chances are the poor kid dosent have much of a chance, unless some fruity philanthropist sees him and makes it his moral investment du'jour.

I also read somewhere that doing drugs and **** can mutate your sperm. Thats odd.

But yeh, I've met some mentally ill folk. Often times though, they seem fine, but the problem is sometimes something you won't see in just one visit.
