Question:
Are you implying that I’d scatter implications around willy-nilly?
Who is Willy Nilly, and why are you refraining from scattering implications around him, when you scatter implications around everyone else hoi-polloi? Bryan Sin Nombre

Oh Stewart, where are you? Isn’t he right where he’s always been? Does that mean he has a paddle? I wonder where he got it from? It’s just about impossible (and as a tad messy) to hold position against the flow without one. I think he should be asked. Are you implying that Stewart is heading upstream *with* a paddle? Or does he get even more imaginative with it?
Are you implying that I’d scatter implications around willy-nilly? I just said that he ‘pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand’ (name that song) and you’ve got me saying he’s going through the motions! — The opinions given above may be mine. They might also just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

This is in reply to those people (on this support newsgroup and others) who either object to or do not "get" what I’m trying to do with my zine, anomaly. The website is just a small representation of the print zine, which is the main focus of my energies.
I just can’t help but think that you are here on ASD for some other reason. But that is just my personal sickness. Sincerely Stewart — The Metaphor Man *and* The Great Defender of the Self (remove the SPAMBLOCK) Please send me an e-mail copy of your posted response.

Can I help you? Or perhaps I should say, is there any way in which I could help myself acquire the conviction that I am somehow performing a service that you regard as "helping" you, without necessarily regarding what I am doing, or what you take me to be doing, as something that would help me if I were the one believing that you were doing it to me? How *do* you do what you do to me? If I only knew. If I knew how you did it to me, then I’d do it to you! :-)

The website is just a small representation of the print zine, which is the main focus of my energies. I suffer from PTSD, have had episodes of major depression and panic attacks which have required hospitalization. I assure you all I am NOT a "troll" or any other kind of lowlife. Weird I might be–it all depends on your perspective. The purpose behind my publication is to (she said for the fourth time) convey to the rest of the world what it is really like to experience mental illness, psychiatric disorders–however you want to label them. I find labeling repugnant, but that’s the way the world operates. People have an innate need to categorize and compartmentalize everything (and everyone). If you don’t want to tell your story, fine–no one’s making you. But if you’d like to give it a shot–anonymously or with your real name–I would love to hear from you. This publication is growing–in fact, I hope to be getting some funding from the Department of Mental Health’s Consumer Grant Initiative program. Finally, yes, some people will find some of the contents (zine and e-zine "weird", not just due to the subject matter, but to the manner in which it may be presented. Not all of it will be straight narrative. Some of it (as some of you may have noticed) will be satirical or humorous. I don’t know about anyone else, but if I couldn’t sometimes laugh about myself, I’d REALLY be nuts! If you’ve made it this far, I thank you. therese Share what you know. Learn what you don’t.
