What is a mental illness for you?

Just before your first hospitalization, by the lake, I tried to explain something to you and your answers were all negative, you did not see things like me. You were exalted. You did not understand anything of what I said to you. We were not on the same wavelength. I felt completely helpless … Now I realized it was a mental illness. For me, there is a dysfunction in the brain. The person does not know anymore how to reason coherently … But I, I hear the word “disease”, so I also hear the word “cure”.

Have you ever suffered from mental illnesses (directly or indirectly)?

I had a mild burnout 6 years ago that lasted about 6 months. I have been taking care of myself ever since so that it would not happen again. There are many people around me who suffer from it (mental illness) and I do my best to support them. The keys that allowed me to make progress are:

  • food,     
  • yoga     
  • personal development     
  • meditation     
  • allowing sufficient time to rest
  • life changes when necessary

Do you feel different from the others?

I feel different in the sense that I feel and see things that others do not see or do not see anymore. They are deceased beings or beings from nature.
