Ignore six for now; was updating five to have a drawing and figured I'd get the placeholder in there in case I need to edit on laptop.
I spent 2 hours browsing through your website last night and I love the beautiful style in which you express yourself.

Thank you! Your site's pretty dang good as well. Loving the idea of a linkblog- you're giving me ideas.

Cheers! I can't claim it's a wholly original idea. But it's been an interesting form to experiment with.

Augh, thank you- think that got scrambled while rearranging things. Fixing that now!
Re: antipsych, well-said on the difference between antipsych and anti-recovery. There's definitely a lot that needs to improve in the mental health system and it can be good to be critical of it, but writing off recovery/improvement entirely is a whole other deal that's very concerning. Definitely interested in whatever you write on the subject in the future.

I consider myself "antipsych" (mainly for the way that the mentally ill are treated by doctors, the rate of abuse in mental health facilities, and other such things; it's on my list to make an article on the subject) but I also find that so often, "antipsych" can very easily slip into "anti recovery". It's deeply worrying, and one of my main criticisms of the current antipsych movement online.

You did an excellent job putting that issue in the community, and more, to words.
