Enlightened or mad? Turn the question upsidedown¿ This is certified like I'm certified. Paranoid anxiety in my schizophrenic case feels like a maddening and desperate rush to solve all problems the world has.. in about 15 minutes or less. When anxiety, paranoia, and preoccupation lie at their low, I usually relax more and contemplate potential actions gradually. The real "wake up clincher" here is the membrane with the long direction between the following: 1) Rushing for causes and inconsequential results. 2) Patience and success. I've thought about enlightenment/madness before. I've known about when I was mad and thought myself enlightened, as well as other times being more stable, gentle, and calmly questioning about enlightening pursuits. I want everyone to do what they can, and let me know if you are trying (in comment below¿? Your own post that is thoughtful?) I know I'm not alone, but it can feel like it, all the litter and pollution, the fear and prejudice, the barriers and bureaucracy, the ignorance and violence. Let's get better.

"Broken By My Master" c.2001. Acrylic on canvasboard, 14" ×18". The title came from @aliceinchains song "Would?" (via their "Dirt" album, which I was obsessed with at the time), I think it's the first line. Originally I'd titled it with the full line -"Know me, broken by my master..." At the time (as I've been saying) I was unwell, completely housebound - not even positive about whether I was able to drive or not, depending on how much medication I was on. I saw my therapist once or twice a week. It wasn't long after my favorite & only aunt had taken her own life. Part of the painting was about me, part about her. Mainly due to the "master being severe mental illness (which runs in both sides of my family). Because I felt like an outcast and unknown by the rest of humanity - and knowing full well at the time how society thinks of and treats the severely mentally ill (especially those with schizophrenia) I painted myself as an upset, sulking demon in the middle of nowhere, which was how I felt. People automatically think you're dangerous so I became a devil, here. I didn't ask for this disease, and of course neither have any of us with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, but here we are. #art #darkart #demon #aliceinchains #would? #dirt #hell #suicide #hidden #schizophrenia #schizoaffectivedisorder #actuallyschizophrenic #selfpity #sulking #anger #weliveinasociety #notademon #demonize #nonviolent #neverevenbeeninafight #howwouldyoufeel #visionaryart #surrealart #artistsoninstagram #igart #igartist #schizophrenicartist #outsiderart #selftaughtartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWc3ouhA0j/?utm_medium=tumblr
