GWE & Mental Health

Interesting book initially published in 2017. Matt Taibbi has good things to say about it. " [h=3]Review[/h] "Both a fun read and a breath of fresh air to anyone who lived through the ghastly experience of last year's presidential election season . . . Utopia for Realists argues, with humor and sympathy, that we've all suffered from forgetting how to dream of a better world....What's so interesting about modern America is our hostility to the mere idea of trying to create an easier and happier life. We're a country that was once rich with social experimentation . . . Now we don't really even try, and mostly just scream at each other on the Internet. That doesn't seem like it will get us there. Maybe free money and a three-hour workday won't, either, but it sure seems like it would be more fun to try."
―Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone"

However those who run the world would not approve. This is THEIR utopia!
 
Your post is accepted and noted dude.....and agreed with....I made that comment from my own view and should have looked broader, at the many cuckoo's flying past!......I see people every day doing things so naturally, things that I struggle with......it just seemed a broad statement is all!
 
Vapo69 I should have worded it better. I meant that it seems to me that most people (I'm in USA) seem so messed up and nuts. Of course everyone puts on their "sane" mask, but to me, most everyone out there is play acting, which makes them way off in my book. Very few folks seem to know what it means to be authentic and have authentic relationships.

One of my best friends was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic by one dumbass psychologist (I live in a small southern town with lots of crappy doctors). My friend's wife and her parents were convinced of it, but he's no more paranoid schizophrenic than I am Melania Trump. He's just an authentic person surrounded by people who don't know how to do anything other than play games and manipulate others.

So you refer to stuff that's hard for you to do that you see others do effortlessly. I don't know: maybe you are authentic effortlessly, while all those people are phony game players. Name me one person who doesn't have a handicap of some sort or another...
 
alltatup "I should have worded it better"...understood!....but I don't understand what this means ?....... " So you refer to stuff that's hard for you to do that you see others do effortlessly. I don't know: maybe you are authentic effortlessly, while all those people are phony game players. "
 
I have my handicaps. But being honest, 100%myself, and speaking my mind aren't one of them. I turn alot of people off with my pure honesty. But no one could ever accuse me of not caring for others. I know you weren't talking to me alltatup just saying. I think maybe pagan can be said to speak his mind here too. Lol
 
Agreed. I have learned a lot from reading the website and now the forum. This is a great place with a really chill vibe. I quit smoking a year ago because of drug tests every month at the doctors so I could get my medicine. I never realized how much smoking helped my bipolar mood swings, depression, and anxiety till I quit. I broke my back, both my elbows, and shattered both knees. It just made my mental health worse not being able to do what I use to and loved. I found growing has brought me a bit of happiness and it is something I can do without killing myself in pain. I’ve done decided I’m growing my own medicine and getting off all the pills. That stuff is crap and will just make you addicted and screw up your life worse than it already is. Having a mental illness is nothing to be ashamed about. It’s not in our control. Guys do tend to have a tendency not to talk about it and let it go unchecked. It’s okay to get it out, especially when it’s to like minded people. Stoners stick together. lol. Have a good day y’all.
 
Yeah opiates suck and docs just want to feed you more instead of using medicine that's naturally grown in abundance.
 
" As long as you KNOW, your crazy, your fine. It's the people that think they aren't, that scare me".
One of the best sayings anybody ever told me. Definitely have my own issues, 2 years of recovering from my last set of brain injury's, helped me to realize that.
I really started to see recovery pick up when I did something I hadn't done in years, smoke a little bit of weed. Now I reffer to my greenhouse as my "therapy room", Lol! This site has been so good for me to, just knowing that there is a little bit of kindness and support out in the world, helps a lot.
I can even ask a question when I'm not sure about an aspect of growing, and don't even get my head bitten off for asking and being ignorant!!
 
I hear ya my dad only got 3 months when they found his lung cancer ibegged him to fight but chemo is rough it really beats u down so i accepted his decision as he requested and made good last 3 month's as good as possible.sorry to hear it and I'll pray for a miracle.keep ur head up and if u need to talk or vent I'm here
 
PaganRich i love the way u talk man.natter? I'm sure that means chat or talk but I'm def adding it to my vocabulary .I'm just a country guy from America.we all sound like idiots lol.
 
Jr83 Natter is to talk, we also say chin wag, again, same thing, so if someone says they`ll pop over for a chin wag, it`s like popping over for a cuppa. I like the American Southern twang sound especially. You get some of those lads on Forged in Fire and they`re great. Love it. :)
