Well, aren't you special? You get TWO letters/blogs dedicated to you in a short time frame! Now you're really famous! Tell Jenny that crazy Banana girl is talking to you/about you again.
I started writing a reply in the comment box and-- hard to believe-- but I was verbose. Before the comment box gave me the warning: "You have exceeded the 4,065 character limit" (or whatever the character limit is in Blogspot comment boxes-- it's 4,000 or so), I just decided to make a post. That stupid comment box, always yelling at me.
Thanks for the apology, even though I felt like I had to force it out of you. What you said in previous comments simply wasn't the "you" that I know and have seen. Forced or not... You emailed me an apology without me asking, so I think it's sincere, regardless.
I wasn't trying to humble you, and this isn't a question of ego (trust me, I have none!). I'm so stubborn and refuse to back down or be humbled myself. I actually *loathe* when others attempt "humbling" me for no reason. It's not a question of pride either. I was thinking this:
"Okay, he wants me to change my blog after he insulted me and wrote vague threats, and he thinks he can simply send me an email apologizing and I'll just "edit" the blog? Oh no, that's now how it works. You insult me in public, you apologize in public". I swear, humbling you wasn't my goal, and I again, I cannot stand when people attempt to do that.
You're also logical, so when you said that it was "my fault" for potentially sending any crazy people to call your friend, I thought: That's strange. Sure, people read my blog, but:
a) the [proscribed website] (hehe) isn't hosted there anymore, so no one would call Mr. H now, and if they did, they'd look like an idiot
b) WHOIS data is was public and I wasn't "going after" a man/website host I've never met for any reason at all, and I'm pretty sure you know that wasn't the intention
c) I'd bet money that we could all figure out who it who it was that called him. ;)
"Whomever" doesn't seem to appreciate the irony of a site she started to end up outing her lies and absurdness like the rest of us do. If you ever find out who it was, fill us in. If people act crazy and harm others intentionally, we should at least be able to get the chance to laugh at it. We've all been hurt and/or used in one way or another by her. By all means, we deserve the possibility to see some kind of silver lining in this cuckoo cloud.
On suicide: It's a touchy subject, of course. It usually has personal/religious/cultural aspects to it, so I will try to approach it lightly, and while I don't believe in the religious arguments against it, I'm not here to change anyone's mind.
I first want to say that no one, and I mean NO ONE, could have stopped anyone from making that "choice".* Most of these people not only had underlying mental illnesses, but they had family and their MD's watching them like hawks. They couldn't stop them, and they *were* there in person. It's not their fault either. Unless you physically restrain someone, there's not much anyone can do to if the person is truly suicidal. If someone is hell bent on ending their life, they'll figure out a way to appear "sane and better" just to be left alone long enough to actually do it.
I don't know if you've ever been to the deep, dark, hell-spawn depths of major depression or not. It's almost like... Being stuck in this invisible hole that only you can see. You're screaming and in pain and no one can hear you, and if they can, they don't understand you. Nothing makes sense to you at that point. Life becomes this strange, illogical thing that one feels forced to go through. And you have people saying things like "Don't worry, it'll get better"; "Nothing is permanent"; "This too shall pass". While they're all usually true, positive, and helpful, I'm not so sure it matters once a person has decided* to do it, mitigating factors or not. Indeed, it does seem illogical to be forced to live a life in pain-- physical or mental. Once we strip the alleged "selfishness" away from the act, and any religious statements about "going against God's fate", it seems pretty damn logical in some cases to me.
If my pet were in any pain that I could not alleviate, and it was an on-going/permanent situation, it would be inhumane for me to allow the pet to keep suffering. Why or how people think that it's okay to euthanize a pet, but not a human being, is beyond me. I realize that I'm not "typical". I don't think that there's some magical man in the sky deciding my fate, nor do I think going against "his fate" somehow makes people "unethical". But most people do. Most people believe in some type of god and/or religion, and most are against suicide. Me? I think we're all just chemicals. Yes, we have brains and feelings. But "souls"? I don't think so. Personalities, yes, but I don't think there is this "thing" called a soul within humans.
Some suicides can seem and very well be logical (IMO) but trust me, I don't think this is the case in the vast majority of them, nor am I advocating it by any means. It is typically a very sad situation. It leaves people behind, struggling with so many powerful feelings, guilt included. They ask the same questions you asked: Why didn't I do more? Why didn't I know? Why didn't I say this or that?
The grievers become suddenly delusional, thinking that they caused it, or could have prevented it
"somehow". I can't explain why humans do this. No one is guilty unless they provided someone with the materials or directly and intentionally participated in making the person's life worse.
While it's nice to hear a joke and get support, the person has probably made their "choice".* Some comments/advice given to some people did not help, that's certain. But they did not cause the suicide(s) to happen, de facto.
The asterisk (*) denotes that many people view suicide a choice or decision that people make. This is not true in most cases. They are always factors that influence people when it comes to suicide. While it's a physical act that can be seen as some sort of choice, we cannot forget about these mitigating factors, some of which we'll never know. Some are logical, some are not. Some are formed due to a mental illness, while some come from an existential point of view. I won't get into what's "normal" or not, or what is "sane" or not. We're all a bit quirky, sanity or not. Hunter S. Thompson, for example, knew that he was going to commit suicide at some point or another. Was he "normal" or "sane"? I'd say he was an atypical thinker, but I don't think he was insane, nor do I think that his suicide was a result from a mental illness. In 2005, he killed himself. This was his suicide note:
"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won't hurt."
That doesn't sound like the rantings of a mad man to me. The man certainly was not "average"; he thought and lived "out of the box". Uncommon is not always insanity. I respect people who refuse to conform. He planned his own funeral, which was just as characteristic and "atypical" as his life was. He built a 153 feet/47 metre tower with a cannon on it by himself. His ashes, along with fireworks, were shot out of the cannon, while "Spirit in the Sky" was played over speakers.
My own father wanted "NOW here lies a happy man" carved on his gravestone. Did we do it?
Yes we did, even after repeated calls from the gravestone carver, asking: "Are you sure? Really?".
Yes, really. Some people have a different viewpoint on life and death. I am actually proud to be the daughter of such an "uncommon" man. He had heart problems and suffered for almost 15 years before he died. He knew he was going to die, and instead of fearing it, he decided that he might as well have fun. I think his intention for wanting that to be written on his gravestone was not because he hated life. I'm pretty sure he wanted people to walk by and either question it, or get a laugh out of it.
The forced niceties that people must show one another on these forums... Well... While it's great to be "nice" and "supportive", there is nothing wrong with telling someone that they seem to be delusional and should get help ASAP. You'd have to word it in more tactful manner, of course. They don't need another delusional person saying-- "Yep, that Valium, it's poison, for sure". But again, they did not actively participate in the person's act, regardless of what absurd thing they may have told the person. It is often a case of the blind leading the blind. I think someone told H to drink tea. IMO, H was delusional when it came to thinking that Valium was "poison". I think she meant "poison" in a literal sense, not the metaphorical one.
I don't know much about the whole story, but I've read her blog. To me, it seems that she was delusional, and also had physical problems as well, and no one could have prevented it. While the "make a cup of tea" or "It IS poison" comments did not help her, again, they are not to blame. If anyone should feel guilty, it should be me. She read my "Benzo Withdrawal 101" post and said it was horrifying and scary. Do I feel guilty? No. I don't think I "should" either. It was a rational statement about benzos, and was not directed at anyone.
I'm sorry if you have a guilty consciousness over this, but you should not. In rare cases, benzo w/d (high dose c/t's or drawn-out obsessive slow tapers with underlying MI's) can and do result in suicide. It's rare, but it's the truth. I have no idea how you got involved with this, where you "met" Donna, etc. Why such talk is "hush-hush" on forums is ridiculous. I'm not saying talking about a certain plan should be encouraged or even allowed, but we can't just sweep up the worst and ugliest side effect by not talking about it. The reason: "People are too fragile". I think that's the same reason why cursing isn't allowed. I don't know any adult who does not curse. And during a benzo w/d or c/t?!?! I still remember my first post: "Well, fuck me". It was "edited for profanity". I'm pretty sure I signed up stating that I was an adult. I will always ask this, but who defines what is profane?
Getting back to guilt/blame, etc...This is the WHOLE issue I have with sites like benzo.org.uk and Bliss Johns. I look at people with such websites and think: How does this help anyone? The fact of the matter is that these people VERY CLEARLY send the message out that benzos are bad, bad, terrible things that could ruin your life. And who would have thought that a pill which an MD prescribed to you might cause this? I have no idea about Ray Nimmo's story. I think he was given benzos in the early 1980's, and I don't know if PI sheets were given or not, especially in the UK. The internet certainly didn't exist then, and yes, most of us trust our doctors, as we should. (Should we trust them 100%? Never. They're only humans. They make mistakes, too. It doesn't mean their mistakes are malicious or intend to cause harm to anyone.) So I can't blame Nimmo for becoming hoodwinked. However... I also don't agree that he should have been able to sue (and win) in a court case against his MD/MD's. Even if PI sheets didn't exist back then, even if one's MD tells someone that something isn't addictive, does one not realize at some point they're physically dependent on a medication? They MUST. It doesn't take a decade to figure that out. No one shoved any pills down anyone's throat, or held their hand when they picked up each and every refill. So this "forced drugging" bullshit is just that-- bullshit. You're responsible for your health, with and without an MD.
The other problem is that "they" (the Benzo Haters) are frequently Mental Illness Denialists. This includes Queen Benzo Professor Ashton. I'll never get over her statement that PD/Panic Disorder was created by Big Pharma to get Xanax approved. They all tend to say something along the lines of this:
"Your MD might tell you that it's just the original anxiety problem coming back, but they're lying".
PAWS going past 2 years/windows and waves/iatrogenic addiction/becoming addicted within a few days. It's all total and complete bullshit. Denying the fact that MI's exist or were invented by "Big Pharma"? Yes, that's Ashton speaking in 2007: "Panic disorder (invented by the makers of Xanax) became a new separate anxiety state in the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM III)...".
No, the parenthesis are not mine.
So... I can't explain why people do anything. Not H, not Donna, not Benzo Phobes, not anyone in this circus act. I wish the Donnas and the Benzo Phobes would go away. They're not helping many, if any, and are probably harming more people than helping. Benzo addiction is real, and it'll throw anyone for a loop. In the meantime, no one needs to be scared to use benzos at an acceptable level, whatever the time frame is. 3 weeks/ 3 months/3 years/ 30 years-- it doesn't matter. If you need them for medical purposes, you need them. 3 years or 30 years of an untreated and severe anxiety disorder will make your brain become FAR more damaged than 3 or 30 years of using any benzo ever will.
Thank you for your apology. Hindsight being 20/20 and all, who would have thought all of THIS would have happened?
Well... Happy early New Year. May the next one not be so... bizarre?

Thank you for your apology. Hindsight being 20/20 and all, who would have thought all of THIS would have happened?
Well... Happy early New Year. May the next one not be so... bizarre?
lol... Jennie is aware. She told me to tell you that she appreciates the shout out. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, as for the apology thing, all you had to do was ask. You did, and I responded. Pretty simple, I'd think. It wasn't "forced", per se, but as you know, I've got the fucking flu. It was a matter of having the time to type shit up.
Hunter S. Thompson is one of my favorite writers. "Football Season Is Over" was the title of his suicide note, and while I could get into the intricacies of the possibility that his death was not a suicide, that would be irrelevant. Johnny Depp funded the funeral and had someone build the two thumbed fist rocket that shot his ashes into the ether, if memory serves. HST's work is legendary. Glad that you're a fan. All good writers should respect his creations. :)
Not gonna say much on the rest of what you wrote, because... wow. We both know the limitations of your comment box here. :) It's ironic that two people actually agree on things yet can find some way to argue about them anyway. I think George Bernard Shaw put it best:
"England and America are two countries separated by a common language."
That's pretty much a fine example of what's going on here.
By the way, when my Grandfather died, he wanted me to put a big sign on his casket that said "HIM GONE!". My family refused to allow me to get away with it. He's still laughing somewhere in heaven anyway and probably still hanging that Purple Heart he got in WWII in Heaven's Lavatory, like he did in life. :)
I appreciate you saying that I shouldn't blame myself for the dead people, but in the end, I'll always wonder if I could have helped more. I live by two rules in life: "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You" and "You'll never be perfect, but no harm will ever come from striving to become so."
Anyway, there ya go. I gave you honesty. Sorry if it's confusing. As for "not sounding like me" in those previous posts, let me put it this way: in my old neighborhood, it is said that I have 3 levels of communication… 1. Joking. 2. Somewhat Serious. 3. Quiet.
They fear #3, because that's when something horrible is about to happen. I ain't perfect, and once again will happily admit that I overreacted to this whole thing. I'll leave this comment with a fine quote from The Outlaw Jose Wales:
Josey: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues. There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see. And so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron, it must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.
Let's see if the comment box becomes angered at this verbosity. :)
Tell Jenny I'm glad she didn't turn into a werewolf. Good for you, good for her.
ReplyDeleteI heard Thompson built it himself. Who knows, I didn't know the man, and I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks for the writing compliment. I get tired of hearing "it's too long, waah". I always want to say to those people: That means you have ADD or don't care.
I wish I could get the flu or a cold or any normal goddamn disease. I'm just a medical oddity. Hope your flu gets better.
You should have argued over what your grandfather wanted. When I die, I want it to be open bar, with Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" playing over and over. And it better happen, because if ghosts exists (doubtful), I'm going to come back and haunt the jerks that don't let me have it my way.
I hope you can eventually get over the blame and wondering. Unless you physically restrain someone, which isn't possible online, no one can stop the person. I really hope you can see that someday.
I thought Bliss Johns was supposed to contact Google about extending the comment boxes. Oh well. He's a busy man, that Mr. Google.
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." :)
"You should have argued over what your grandfather wanted."
ReplyDeleteWanted to, Kelly, but I unfortunately missed his wake because Jennie had almost driven my truck off the road from driving rapidly across the state (she was in Daytona at the time of his death) and having a panic attack in the middle of the journey to get there in time for us to all get to the proceedings. When I found out about it, I just called Hilton, who happily drove me out there to the middle of the state to collect the truck and check on my woman and my god-daughter in the hospital. Sadly, there was no time for shenanigans, but Grandpa will forgive me. Though Jennie still to this day bitches at me about it, I explain to her, as he would say: "I'm dead. Take care of the living. My ol' corpse will wait for ya." :)
"When I die, I want it to be open bar, with Monty Python's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" playing over and over. And it better happen, because if ghosts exists (doubtful), I'm going to come back and haunt the jerks that don't let me have it my way."
Awesome! I can dig that.
I guess I can announce on here that Jennie and I are now engaged. We're getting married early next year. This will probably end my participation in all this nonsense, but you know how to get in contact with me if need be. I wish you the best and just for the hell of it, Fuck Bliss. He is weak and small. I know you can take out the fucker. :)
Cheers!

I never did that Xmas blog. Maybe it'll have to be a late one.
