Experiencing "Madness" and "Extreme States"
What it feels like to go through the thousand shades of gray that get labeled bipolar, mania, depression, schizophrenia, borderline, panic, anxiety, psychosis, attention deficit, obsessive-compulsive, self-injury and ... what's it like in your world? How do you relate to your mind and your diagnosis? What language makes sense to you?

Health and Wellness
Is wellness just a state of non-sickness, or something entirely different? How are "physical health" and "mental health" linked? General discussions about health issues are welcome here -- for more treatment-specific discussions (whether psych med or alternative) see the subforums.

Making Maps, Swimming Upstream and Building Islands of Community
How do we live with the monocropped corporate realities of "normal" work, school, money, family, walmart, leg-shaving, in-laws, expectations? As DIY radicals, activists, anarchists, punks, and everything else, should we fit in or make the world fit us? What does mental diversity mean to you? What kind of world is possible?

For Friends, Family, and Allies
This is a place to talk about what it's like to live with or support someone labeled with a psych diagnosis and/or struggling with madness. How do you help someone in crisis? How do you make sense of being told conflicting things by different healers?

Spirituality
What place does spiritual practice have in our lives and in our emotions? How do our visions of the divine and feelings of interconnectedness relate to living with madness? What is our place within a framework greater than human civilization, and how does this affect our daily struggles?

Alternate Dimensions or Psychotic Delusions?
A place to talk about everything from mysticism to lucid dreaming to psychosis to telepathy to conspiracy theories. How do we make sense of the things we see and feel even though we know most ‘normal’ people don’t acknowledge them? How do we harness our mutant powers? Is there really 'power' in what they call ‘madness’ or are we just a bunch of loons?

Sex and Sexuality
Sex has the potential to heal us and to hurt us. Many of us find that our madness is intertwined with our sexualities in both positive and negative ways. This forum contains explicit talk about sexual practices, bodies, sexuality, sexual trauma, etc.
