I think I am very sensitive too because as someone stuck for now in the mental health system, I do not get taken seriously too for my physical ailments sometimes. I have chronic fatigue too and other things. I have one doctor pretty good about it tho. I understand you meant well. It's been one of those days. Take care, Nancy HI, I understand.

I was using the language that is used on us daily and it was not meant as a judgement of others. Thank you for bringing it to my attention; I have re-languaged my post in a way I hope does not offend. I don't believe anyone is a "psychiatric head case" as I believe all illness has a bio-chemical component, and I do not believe that anyone should be blamed for their illness. We should all have compassion for everyone no matter what their situation. Hi Nancy,

What do you mean by this? The Icarus Project is all about mad pride. I am Crazy as in Crazy Horse was crazy and I am proud of it. I am glad you are getting the attention out there of this publication, but I was born with these special mad gifts, sick or not, and I don't think it is very thoughtful to be using that terminology like that as if it is a negative thing...when a lot of us mad ones are putting together this publication.
