My recent hospitalisation was mind-altering yet again. Every hospitalisation is different in regard to contributing to my knowledge. I assume this is the case with everyone, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. Apart from meeting new people, possibly seeing faces you once did in the past, attending classes that help you cope in the outside world after your discharge; everyone’s story makes you realise and remember that it’s okay to be broken and that you’re not alone. All of us share the same weaknesses and power one way or another.

“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star” ―Friedrich Nietzsche This is but a true statement which I agree with as mental illness is still to this day seen as some form of unimportant condition, a very sad reality. There seems to be a widespread misconception and misunderstanding on mental illness and the manner in which certain individuals, groups of particular niches, societies, traditional and cultural tribes and so forth approach the topic which tends to be a huge concern for most, especially those diagnosed with these conditions.
