Perhaps I'm bored the elusive normal

Hmm normal! What is normal? My Collins pocket dictionary defines normal as free from mental and physical illness.

Does raise a question what is the definition of a mental illness? How do we define a mental illness?

Transgender, Same sex relationships where at one stage classed as mental illness but are no longer.

Why? Because they where considered by the majority socially acceptable.

So is mental illness defined by what is not socially acceptable?

Ever since I became aware of my illness and started fighting it off more and more, my psychotic episodes becoming less frequent, I end up getting bored because life is so…dull…without the psychosis to sort of spice things up. The psychosis added narrative and purpose in form of delusions…added a lot of bad stuff too but there was never a dull moment…I am learning to come to terms with boredom and life dissatisfaction…but currently it still leads me into depression.

I think normal means: not posing a threat to yourself or others…

Guess it means MI is the dirty laundry they keep trying to clean.

normal is average.

Average is mean.
