coworkers under 35 love me for my cowboy bebop jacket, coworkers over 35 love me for my cd player, management loves me for my mental illness-fueled punctuality. everyone feels vaguely wary of me for my overall poor impression of acting like a human

antipsychiatry does not mean the same thing as anti medication. i firmly believe in antipsychiatry and part of the reason is because I’ve seen how hard it is for people to get the meds they actually want. the amount of friends I’ve had who’s doctors refuse to prescribe them meds for their ADHD even though they can prove that it’s helping them, the amount of people I know who want to get psych meds but can’t because psychiatrists refuse to prescribe them meds once they learn that they use criminalized drugs, the amount of people I know who can’t get psychs to prescribe them meds for the symptoms that are actually distressing them unless they agree to be on other meds that don’t help them—easy access to psych meds is a right that goes hand in hand with the right to not be medicated against your will. it comes back to autonomy and how psychiatry gets in the way of autonomy in so so many ways. psychiatry operates in a paradigm where the most convenient justification for the psychiatrists view of cure becomes the one they cling to in the moment. Which means that mad/mentally ill/neurodivergent people who have to interact with the psych system are constantly at risk both for being drugged against our will and for being prevented from taking medication.

mad/mentally ill / neurodivergent people deserve authentic, informed consent that allows us to make the choices about what risks we are willing to take, what symptoms are liveable, and what side effects are intolerable. The psychiatric system has a million barriers that get in the way of this type of decision making, and fucks over all mad/mentally ill/ neurodivergent people, no matter our personal relationship to medication.

Some doors from The Magnus Archives.

[ID:

A succession of four drawings in primary colors, representing doors from The Magnus Archives.

The first drawing is in black an white, the shadow of an imposing old-looking building, punctured by white doors.

The second one is Michael’s doors in bright yellow hues. There are stairs leading to nowhere, and Michael’s head is peaking through the opening. His hand goes through the door to rest on the external handle: The door, overall, makes no sense as a door.

The third one is the archives’ trap door in nuances of red. We see it from above as it is being opened by Tim or Jon’s hand. Worms are surrounding the door, and Jane Prentiss’s feet stand waiting.

The fourth and last one is a blue door being forced open by violent waves coming through. There are eyes in the waves.

Throughout the drawings, the text reads: “An Oxford education is one that can open many, many, many, many doors.”

"'I have led a toothless life,' he thought. 'A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on--and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone. What's to be done?'"

-Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason (1945)
