Doing Well

I said goodbye to a dear friend yesterday who had died due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. We had disagreed about many things, including the best well to pursue our mental health. He was a brilliant man, having obtained a doctorate done very sophisticated work before his illness began taking over. Even after the illness, he worked in various mental health groups and educated people about issues they knew little or nothing about. I felt sad because we had drifted apart in recent years as I began working more and he denounced psychiatry as quackery. I don't know whether they have determined the exact cause of death. He had seen his psychiatrist and left abruptly before being found face down in the snow frozen solid. Meanwhile, I was working on my credit score and trying to prepare to speak at a meeting about a proposed site for housing people with a mental illness.

I learn from these loses. My earlier blog was about a similar death. It's painful. But I need to continue slowly but surely doing what I was put here to do. And perhaps I will introduce others to this site to unburden themselves.
