phoenix: an essay

[massflavour]

http://www.sendspace.com/file/p1vs09

i wrote this in my spare time outta boredom and the desire to try some form of creative writing.. idk it's just a personal essay that talks about psychosis, depression, and youth psychiatric care, along with spirituality, spirit death and rebirth etc.. (continue reading there's a reason it isn't in the writing forum)

i'm beginning to find cyclical patterns (redundant heheh maybe) in how my personality and life changes with respect to the season lol idk i might write another short paper to clarify or even start writing a book or some shit.. who knows.

just a side project. i'm mostly looking for opinions regarding the state of psychiatry today, the pharmaceutical industry, and doctors prescribing drugs to young people. sure this could go in the writing forum but im not looking for writing reviews. moreso looking to stimulate a discussion. i'm fairly opinionated with regards to the subject cuz i have some personal experience with depression, psychosis, anxiety, social isolation, and the like. i guess this post more or less serves as an abstract for my paper, but i mean yeah discuss the consequences of what i'm saying preferably.. if you wanna comment on my writing feel free but this isn't why i made the thread.

i do enjoy writing and i always enjoy a bit of feedback; however understand that this is not an academic work. it was purely done in my spare time as i'm no longer going to school haha.

i more or less posted it in an upload cuz i really didnt want to paste 2500 words into a thread.. good grief!
