The intermingling of the ebb and flow of life's situations for many who are "under-served" creates such an imbalance, especially for individuals who already have a propensity for mental illness. <BR/><BR/>We are all deserving of more than three hots and a cot, yet life often serves up portions under par. Some of us lack comforted hearts; have no manner to pay for prescribed medication which may help us feel less invaded by the plague of the mind-rodents that run rampant in our minds, gnawing away at our sanity; some haven't any place acceptable to sleep save for a doorway near a shoppe on Broadway; and all of these create a plight absent of poetry. Indeed, a picture of pain is drawn by these situations instead. There is no freedom in wanting to kill yourself, no matter what film such as, Girl Interrupted, may depict. <BR/><BR/>There is no self-worth to be gleaned easily from eating out of a dumpster. And when every factor is against you, including having contracted a disease that has a vice-grip on your mental faculties, there is little hope for the one in this picture, very little hope especially if the person ends up in the convicted felon seat of our judicial system. <BR/><BR/>The man on the undereducated,low socio-economic-person-of-color<BR/>from-shelby-county totem pole is cursed by a conundrum created by brain chemistry malfunctions needs all of the encouragement and support available. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to you and to NAMI, the attorneys, TCASK and all organizations who fight for the rights of the disabled to be guaranteed and for policy to be designed so that more laws are created to protect victims of mental illness as well as any victims of behaviors or actions of those who are mentally-ill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
