You are NOT crazy
I'm concerned by what is going on in the world and by our 'mental health' system.
There seems to be this systemic philosophy out there that if you don't 'love life' there is something really wrong with you and you need to be medicated or locked away until you think the world is great.
I'm not sure who is perpetuating this idea but I think it is a combination of things - religious groups, politicians, governments (so that people will tow the line and do what they are told), mental health workers etc. They all seem to come from this very damaging and outdated viewpoint that they must make you see life is fabulous and there is something wrong with YOU if you don't like the world. So they will try to change you. Terrible treatments are performed on people to try to change them. These groups are given a lot of power to try to change people. I believe these awful views and practices need to be challenged and changed. But they can only be changed with the will of the people who have a strong voice to speak out.
You are not crazy if you don't like the world. The world is not a good or fair place. The powerful will always try to oppress others and keep them down. My heart goes out to all those who have been unfairly treated, stigmatised and hurt in the name of their 'health'. I hope these words help someone out there.
