Seriously. King of Sock-Puppets multi-nym is having conversations that
only his other sock-puppets could possible understand.
Doc and Kidhacker are apparently dead (which begs the question, who
actually paid for my ticket to see Libera in Atlanta 3 years ago;
thanks whomever you were!), but the one person who probably actually
is dead is still alive and using Doc and VV and sometimes even my nick
to continue to post.
Everybody knows that when you need help you call for Doc, and didn't
those silly little kittens mew like bitches begging Doc to help them
when they needed help in figuring out how to post just ever so
recently? (Do you like the rhetorical juxtaposition of kittens &
bitches? I do!)
Let's see -- he objects if they're too young -- as if boys could ever
be too young to admire as beautiful (although they can certainly be
too young to do more than fantasize about!) -- then screams if he
thinks they're too old as if Twinks were some kind of curse -- instead
of legally available outlets, assuming they're willing, that is. For
some reason the phrase "glass-houses" just keeps running through my
mind. Can't think why ....
Oh, and he complains about spammers, but posts the same things over
and over and over and .... ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
I shouldn't pile on. It's clear -- the paranoid delusions are obvious,
as are the manic fits. Schizoaffective Disorder is a serious mental
illness, and it can be incredibly difficult to treat. Many of the
medications commonly used have side-effects that none of us would want
to live with, so it's really not that hard to understand why people
who need the stuff don't want to take it. (Hell, part of the reason
I'm in constant pain these days is because I took the medicines I
needed to control my own illnesses so religiously! Which reminds me, I
haven't had any pain medicine today and I need to!)
I guess my point is that we need to keep in mind that none of us truly
knows what it's like to live with diseases like schizoaffective
disorder or schizophrenia. Reality is bad enough when your brain is
capable of filtering out certain extraneous factors and isn't
receiving false signals from God-only-knows where. If your frontal
lobe was firing away without actually getting input from your ears and
sending signals to your auditory center, you'd think someone you
couldn't see was talking to you, too.
For those who don't know, all sensory input comes from the various
sensory organs like the nose, ears, eyes, skin and tongue and goes to
the frontal lobe of the brain. The frontal lobe then figures out what
type of input it is and then sends it to the appropriate area of the
brain such as the auditory center or visual cortex to be interpreted.
So what happens when the frontal lobe misfires and sends off signals
to one of the interpretory areas even though it never received any
input from the sensory organs? Hallucinations. You can hear them, you
can see them, you can feel them, you can smell them, you can taste
them ... or any combination of the five. Unfortunately, I can't tell
you the neurological processes behind delusions -- we don't even know
what to look for to try to isolate those!
But I will tell you something that I have observed in the time I
worked with mentally ill people -- no, let me just give you a few
examples and let you draw your own conclusions. A client who has sex
then hears hallucinations that she believes is the voice of God
calling her a whore. Out of nowhere, a client tells me that he not
having sex with his sister -- the one whom he lives with and also
happens to be mentally ill; then he tells me that they've been
broadcasting that he was having sex with her over the "scanner" that
the CIA has connected to his brain. Not terribly surprising, in one of
the sister's more psychotic episodes she reveals that she is the bride
of Christ, and I'll give you three guesses whom she identifies as
Christ. And who is apparently the father of all of the teddy bears to
which she has "given birth." At least they convinced her that she
could not breast feed them in public BEFORE I got assigned the case.
Those are just some of the more obvious examples I can give you. In
most cases, people try to hide their hallucinations.
Let me also -- for the purpose of full disclosure -- tell you that I
am not a licensed or advanced degree psychologist. My work with these
people was mainly to help them try to function in the community -- or
get them in and out of the hospital as quickly as possible when they
could not. Technically, in this state, I didn't even qualify as a
social worker -- or rather, not as a private practice Social Worker. I
was only qualified to work in this capacity because I worked for
state/public agencies. However, I'm very bright and very observant and
the psychologists and psychiatrists that I worked with in these cases
trusted me explicitly. And yes, before mental health, I worked in
Child Protective Services and then during my time in the mental health
system I worked with people with paraphilias including pedophiles.
And, let me tell you, the things the current systems does not know
about pedophiles would fill volumes. Is anyone interested in
discussing this particular matter more? I have been considering that
maybe it was time to try to fill in some of the blanks because the
current state of treatment for pedophiles is abysmal. Unfortunately,
my own depression has severely limited my ability to do more than work
on gathering some of the reference books I want to read for research.
Do people here think that such a project is worthwhile? I know that
Doc thinks so -- or, he did the last time he and I discussed it.
Anyway, I know that things seem weird right now, and while I am pissed
off and disgusted by someone's behavior, I am trying to keep in
perspective what's going on behind the behavior. And I hope that this
little post will give some of you insight as well. And I hope it will
temper your tempers or feline distempers as the case may be!
With love & compassion,
Steve
