It always aggravates the shit out of me when a crazy person acts crazy then people get bent out of shape. You don’t tell a cancer patient to suck it up and endure the pain. You give them love and medications to help with what ails them. This usually doesn’t hold true for a mentally ill person, though. We are all so socially corralled that when a crazy person acts crazy, which usually means being a social miscreant, then they are seen as someone who needs to be disciplined or as a threat or dangerous. Often, what a strong sedative and a night’s rest can cure is overlooked and misdiagnosed. Like what happened to mom last night. She just needed a strong sedative, some tender loving care (family support), and a night’s rest. She was a 100 percent better today when I called her. This, too, shall pass as they always say in Alcoholic’s Anonymous. By God, don’t exhibit any abhorrent or abnormal behavior or people will go more nuts than you already are.
