WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME VS ADRENAL FATIGUE In many ways, withdrawal syndrome is the opposite of adrenal fatigue. -- In withdrawal syndrome, the theory is that the brain is sending erratic "fight or flight" signals to the adrenals and the adrenals are obediently responding with adrenaline and cortisol, as they are designed to do. -- The normal diurnal cortisol cycle may be HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE (LIKELY TO APPLY TO OTHERS ON PSYCH I don't, by any means, imagine that all withdrawal syndromes have this going on, but since the histamine effects those with intolerance by challenging the nervous system, and those of us with withdrawal syndromes seem to pretty consistently have radically dysregulated autonomic nervous systems, it might make sense to see if histamine ispart of
PSYCHOSIS, POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, AND STORY AS A Psychosis, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Story as a Vehicle of Healing. The below piece is written by the very prolific and wonderful author of some great blogs. Her handle being “spiritual-emergency.”. I have several of her blogs listed on this site in the blogroll. They all stand as wonderful resources and are generally not updated. CARL JUNG HAD WHAT WOULD TODAY BE CALLED AN EXTENDED Carl Jung himself said: I had the feeling that I was in an over-compensated psychosis, and from the feeling I was not released until August 1, 1914. (see here for context) His psychosis lasted a long time and he worked it out. This is a stunning revelation that will be even more controversial then all PSYCHOSIS OR SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE? A great deal depends on the experiencer and what resources he/she brings to the experience. When I had my own experience, I had the great good fortune of having recently read a book by C.G. Jung. He described precisely what I was going through, HEALING “PSYCHOSIS”: STORIES, INFORMATION AND RESOURCES Healing “psychosis”: stories, information and resources.

This is what is happening to all our *psych diagnosed* youththeir brains are being short circuited and stopped on psych meds. It’s like a genocide of the animal body/spirit and yet hardly anyone is aware ofit.
ON TRAUMA AND MADNESS IN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES BY Noël Hunter. Each day the news appears to top itself with stories of the various ways in which we, as humans, suffer and cause suffering. There are endless tales of abuse, racism, violence, gaslighting from those in the highest of powers, oppression, and injustice that challenge the lengths to which our minds and bodies cancope.

It can be very difficult to deal with and unaffected people CLINICAL TRIALS VS. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE The hard-core scientific, “evidence based” believers in the world of psychiatry and medicine refuse to accept anecdotal evidence of efficacy of alternative most often “unstudied” treatments. They insist that until there is a valid double-blind systematic clinical study of something proving it to be true, nothing else can be valid.Skip to content

SPEAKING OUT ABOUT POSSIBLE RESEARCH MISCONDUCT: LIVE AND LEARN INC. AND OPEN EXCELLENCE/FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE by Will Hall, Monica Cassani, and Dina Tyler In the world of innovations in how we treat survivors of psychiatric crisis, Live and Learn Inc and Open Excellence/Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care do valuable work. Live And Learn is a research company owned by Laysha Ostrow that collects and analyzes data on the viability of alternative mental health treatments, and Open Excellence/FEMHC is a philanthropy started by patients' family members that channels funding into promising projects. They're colleagues with us in the broader "critical psychiatry" movement ((Will was one of the original founding board members of Open Excellence/FEMHC) and we've all known each other for many years. At the same time, after collaborating with Live and Learn and Open Excellence/FEMHC on a past project, we are left very concerned by apparent ethical irregularities, including possibly crossing the line into research misconduct and plagiarism.* Share

KEEP GOING ON…PANDEMIC 2020, WE GOT YOU… I lay awake at 2:20 am this morning after going to bed at 8 pm. I was feeling a bit forlorn and I've had a really rough, homeless several months.

Narcissism is a coping strategy for when one has been wounded in profound ways. Anyone who makes it in this world has to find some sort of narcissism in order to heal. What gets called malignant narcissism is only one manifestation. Survival demands narcissism. ...* Share

AUTO-IMMUNE ILLNESS, CHRONIC ILLNESS, WITHDRAWAL ILLNESS (HOW IT’SALL LINKED FOR ME)
> A NEW POST ON my new site: might be of interest to anyone with > chronic issues. ALL SIGN> AL

All Signal
I learned “auto-immune” meant my system was in over-drive all the time because it was fighting real infections. Western medicine says that auto-immune means the body is hurting itself. For me this was untrue. My body was fighting and waiting for me to start cooperating. Infections that are locked up in biofilm don’t show up on labs. It does not make them any less real. They become much more dangerous because the medical system denies their existence and tells many people with “unexplained” chronic issues that they are delusional.Shameful.
Biofilm encased infections can vary from completely harmless/contained to raging insanity. Pharma in my instance (and the ensuing withdrawal illness) created outrageous opportunistic infections. Stuff in biofilm is, in general, anti-biotic resistant hence chronicity of all sortscan develop.
I’ve never regretted giving up on getting diagnosed. What I’ve learned as an undiagnosed chronically ill person (auto-immune & “lyme disease”…View original post

TIME…IT MARCHES ON More of my latest meanderings: Egalitarian "hetero" relationships don't need to look like God/Goddess (or anima/animus) relationships. They're not distinctively nor necessarily male and female. Both partners may embody both male and female. A man may be more archetypically female . A woman might be more male. Hetero-normative crap is crap. I see women and... Continue Reading →* Share

ENDING SUPPORT FOR JOHN HEROLD AS A HEARING VOICES MOVEMENT FACILITATOR, TEACHER, OR LEADER By Will Hall and Kate Hill March 16, 2021 We are writing to formally and publicly declare the withdrawal of our support for John Herold as a facilitator, trainer, speaker or leader of any kind in the Hearing Voices Movement. We request that John step down from this role, including his involvement in Puget Sound Hearing Voices and Pacific Rim Hearing Voices, for the safety of the network, of his groups and of the individuals involved. We also ask the Hearing Voices Movement, Hearing Voices Network USA, INTERVOICE, and all organizations and groups to end any listings and referrals and end any financial, logistical, promotional, or other support for Herold in these roles.* Share

TRAUMA RELEASE IN AN INTERNET AGE Part of the success of this website has been my willingness (and need) to speak things that many of my readers were thinking but not yet saying. As I've gotten deeper into my trauma release and healing I've backed away from this site in many regards and ventured into dark areas of the psyche which even many people who had followed me for a long time no longer wanted to partake in. I've continued to post difficult material much of which continues to be trauma release, both for myself and for those who also, like me have wandered far into the abyss, by necessity, for their healing. Most of the people I've had the privilege of helping on this site have a radically different history than I've had. This is rarely acknowledged or understood. Most of the people with histories like mine are totally and completely swallowed by psychiatry and lost forever. I don't actually know anyone like me who has made it as far as I have off the drugs etc. It's a tragedy that hurts me. And so...this site, in part, is trauma release in the internet age.* Share
