Personal: Health update 01-12-2025

I’m feeling better, somewhat. I don’t want to speak too soon, though. The last two days, I’ve been drinking electrolytes. I just have to be careful and not drink too much, as that’s not good either. My sinuses are better, too.

I also started taking a low dose of lithium orotate. It’s not working yet, I suppose, but I haven’t been as moody. Sure, I started crying after I listened to a clip from The Electronic Intifada, but at least I wasn’t crying while playing the world’s smallest violin.

I’ve also been staying up longer than usual. Usually, I can only stay awake for a couple of hours. I’ve been up since Midnight, and I am getting tired now, though. It’s time to switch to my deadmau5 playlist. I either listen to that one or my Trance playlist when I go to sleep. Have a pleasant day!

Personal: Some updates

I’m slowly working on a follow-up to my previous post, Down the Rabbit Hole: Preface. It’s almost finished except for the screenshots and videos, which I have more to search for. I think that most of the videos are on my memory cards from my previous Android tablet.

I’m considering retiring this blog when my web hosting service plan expires in April. I’ve been feeling more physically worn out than usual. Posting drains a lot of energy from me. Even reading is exhausting anymore. Damn you, fibromyalgia!

I can barely keep my eyes open, so I’m going to bed early. Have a good night!

Gender and Psychiatry: Pathologized Emotions

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

As Phyllis Chesler warned us in 1974, gender bias has accompanied psychiatric power throughout its history. Years later, in 2005, in the last annotated edition of Women and Madness , the author insisted on the persistence of this bias, which even today, 50 years later, seems to remain unchanged. Authors such as Ussher, Caplan, Margot Pujal and many others were situated in that same space. With their differences and nuances, they all converge on the same point: gender problems and discomforts produce deep suffering. This suffering leaves marks on our bodies and our behavior.
