Joseph Campbell said it best, that schizophrenics are drowning in the waters that mystics delight in swimming in. Since my boy's psychotic episode I've avoided trying to get him into spiritual stuff...just too much information.
However, if your illness is limited to deprssion (and not paranoid delusions, hallucinations, voices, etc.), then I think exercising your will to heal yourself is very do-able. Try it with other things first.
As far as the pills go...that's life. If you can't muster the correct vibrations on your own, the medicine does it for you. Better than suffering, IMHO. |
