“Are psychiatric crises so overwhelming to the mind that they inhibit the presence of ethics? Is depression at root an amoral phenomenon, its focus on the self preventing any other from really counting? Perhaps. Sometimes. Sometimes, even when we are two we are really only one; we can feel nothing but our own bones, our own difficult breaths.” FeelsMindTwoSelfSometimesDifficultFocusDepressionEthicsRootsBreathsCrisisIllnessBonesMental IllnessPhenomenonOverwhelmingCountingPreventingPsychiatric Author:Lauren Slater
“Mistrust is the fuel for so much mental pain, so many mental disorders. I am not talking here about the suspicions we sometimes have of one another, the distant but lurking sense that perhaps our lover lies to us, our best friend whispers behind our back. I am talking about a belief that betrayal inundates the atoms of the universe, is so woven into the workings of the world that every step is treacherous, and that below the rich mud lies a mine.” WorldSometimesPainLyingUniverseBeliefBehindsTalkingStepsRichMinesLoversBetrayalFuelDisorderAtomsSuspicionMudWovenEvery StepNot TalkingMistrustTreacherousLurkingMental DisorderMental Pain Book:Welcome to My Country Source: Welcome to My Country
