 The Charlie Brown Syndrome: Just saying YES, so you can sleep!

This past week I was off my meds. Well, I ran out of one of them just before the Holiday.  I was told I could get them on Monday… the problem, that was 6 days away.  Has this ever happened to you?  Having a gap in the meds after you have been on them for 10 months straight, well, the effect can be subtle and then boom!  It is quite obvious that something is off… normally, it’s your wife or husband that notices first.

The first and second days were o.k., but by Friday morning.. The racing thoughts and the self-talk just took over and I could feel the rage building… I started snapping at every thing and that is not nice to be around…

I’ll let my wife who should be editing this tell you a little about how I get… Now mind you, I have no clue what she is going to write.  This way you can get a honest look at it.

Chato’s wife:  Oh boy, now he wants me to enlighten you about his “off” moods…snapping - total understatement..hope these words won’t be used against me at a later day Well, let’s just simply say: “OUCH!” …excruciating emotional pain…i’m trying to recover as well. He seems to be coming out of it (the dark side) and i’m thankful and anxious for relief for the both of us!! Brighter, happier, peaceful days ahead…holding onto hope

Now I am still writing and she has not answered yet… She will once she edits this post.

Needless to say I need my meds, so I took my Serroquel and it helped with the racing thoughts and some of the other stuff.. But that med just knocks me out with 50mg and I took 200mg to get a quick fix… 15 hours of sleep later, I was feeling better-ish.  The cartoon above came about because when I was half out of it, my girls would ask me for stuff and well that is what it sounded like …

Title:

Out of this world Mental Health Care

I must say, this cartoon was more for my girls then for the Mental Health humor site.  My gals and I like to sit and draw and when we draw they always ask me to draw something… So, this is what came from one of our drawing sessions.

Still, the mental health twist is some what fitting…  Really, some times I feel like I’m being treated like I’m out of this world.  I can’t believe that we have to put up with all the crap we have to just to get help.  I am glad that I’m getting some help but some times I think I might need more…  Then again, don’t we all???

 Mental Health Humor: Chato’s Room 1991

Permission granted for non-profit use by artist: Chato B. Stewart.

When you move, you sometimes , no, you ALWAYS find some old forgotten photos.  Some you might wish stayed undiscovered.  But this one is not one of them!  It is a treasure for my wife and I and holds so much meaning.  You might see,  just me kneeled down with a painted wall a picture with a messy room off to the right.  You would be only half right.  See that is me at the ripe age of 19.  I was just out of high school at my apartment I rented.  My girl friend and future wife was at Filenes Basement buying a wedding gown.  Now most people would be running for the hill if their girlfriend was buying that type of dress when you have only been dating four months! 

She was there and I was in my room in Arlington, Massachusetts looking at my wall and reading a poem she wrote me called ‘Flowers That Bleed‘.  Next thing, I knew I had my pastels out and I started drawing on the wall.  She came by that night before heading home to talk and I showed her, her picture.  She got married in that dress a year later. And the dress was almost as stunning and beautiful and pure as she was on that day!

Ahhh, packing to move, what a nice way to jog you down memory lane.

Mental Health Humor: State Penitentiary, Jail, Prison and Mental Illness-

It is estimated the 25% of prison inmates are dealing with a major mental disorder and another 16% will develop one in the course of time spent behind bars. For many of them it is too late, and all that can be done is to work the system even then it depends on the state or facility and from the inside. I will not get into the deplorable conditions many people dealing with mental disorders face while inside. No rather, lets talk about what can be done to prevent the prison door from shutting on us.

Now, if you’re lucky, then your “mental condition” has never lead you in doing something that requires the police to get involved. May be you’re lucky that, oh, I don’t know, that back in October of 1998 you decided to go out fooling around with a pellet gun in some semi-public area only to have a gun-ho JR police officer pull his gun and point it at your head while screaming all the time… “keep your hands where I can see them”… Well, maybe that wasn’t you. Oh the joy of youth.

Still, we make some bad choices while under the control of our mental disorder, some times, they can never be undone! This is why we must be willing to put the work into our recovery. So we can have control or at least, know when we should get more help. We can’t give up, or we might have a cell waiting for us, with a 300lb dude named Tiny as a room mate.

Mental Health Humor: Mr Baked Potato Head-

Welcome back! I’m glad you are stopping by.. we need your support so if you see any cartoons that you like, I want you to blog about them or post a link to the cartoon. We are getting a lot of new viewers each day. I just want to welcome every one and I hope you keep coming back!

Today’s cartoon I’ve been holding on for a while not..well, since may. I was not sure if I wanted to post it and I just could never get the time to go over it. Well, today I have been working on so many other projects I just forgot to get a post ready. So, I was going over all my cartoon ideas and this one jumped out. It’s a bit twisted, but then again so am I. I think it is a match. Note from Chato’s Wife: “Ooh, it’s a little gruesome!”
