Just to give you a feel for what I’ve experienced on the receiving end of this group evaluation, here are some of the current highlights on the community judgments and rumours.
Now just in case any of you decide to make your judgements based on actual evidence, I will keep all the sources of the information for you. If I become homeless or if I am ever found dead (the poor thing) I will bequeath the evidence to a couple of Homewood doctors so they can have another meeting to discuss the best way to hide it so the won’t ever have to feel ‘uncomfortable.’ I would like to suggest to the staff that started all of this, especially my main protagonist, that they continue to blame me, while denying they ‘blame’ of course, as it is probably best to at least APPEAR consistent, even if all you are consistent about is your duplicity.
For the purpose of this post though, I will just repeat back to you (as always) all of the community assessments and rumours for your on going entertainment.
Remember to keep denying this is an assault on me and also to deny that it is having a very destructive effect on me and my life, or that it already has had this destructive effect. After all, it can’t be an assault if I am too stupid to recognize it can it? Doesn’t having me be stupid work well for those who want to feel superior to me? It excuses a whole lot of bad behaviour in the ‘superior’ doesn’t it?
So, just get everyone to go into another round of contempt and disdain on my ‘whining, bitching and complaining.’
The Opinions:
It is the opinion of many people on staff for the city, that this all happened years ago and they don’t see why I am still talking about it. (In keeping with the revelation of game boy’s training, let me show you here how everything that is being said is true, but what is driving it has been switched. The previous statement is true, They DON’T know why I am still talking about it. If they did, they would not still be assessing me and they would be taking a look at themselves and their own behaviour. See how that works?)
It is also true that the only people I have talked about it to are: Homewood staff, and Administration, Community Mental Health personnel, the Guelph Police service, a few people in university psych departments, one law form which involved itself in ‘observing’ me constantly, and my employer when the office was on Woolwich St. here. Anyone else has involved themselves so why don’t THEY stop talking about it since I don’t see why they have to keep talking about something that was never any of their business in the first place. If the rest of you see why I need to explain myself to the satisfaction of every Tom, Dick and Harriet, by all means explain it to me. I am all ears.
Now regarding the people I have talked to about it, after a decade of the ‘no response’ response, the dysfunctional favourite, I began to talk to others outside of Guelph and have just recently told one new person in Guelph of the basics of ‘the game’ as it is understood by my protagonist. As it turned out this one person has had some contact with the same type of well trained people in the past also.
But until now, I have not been the one who is doing all the talking at large or with the public. That is YOU people doing that; all the ones who are keeping this a ‘secret.’ I think you should be able to see why I find you mind boggling. Most of us nuts DO you know, for exactly the same sort of reason. It’s the display you put on for us which you then deny.
But, I am digressing by trying to explain you, to you, so let’s get back to WHAT you all act out for me while claiming that you don’t. The theme is almost always invalidating and your emotional display is almost consistent in contempt and disdain. You superior types seem to love that. I’m sure it makes you feel ever so much better to be you, when you can look down on those who you decide are not living up to your expectations as you believe they should be doing. (Soon I will write a piece on self directed therapy for you to use in the privacy of your own home. I am sure this will cut down on all the huffing and puffing at people all day and also relieve the eyestrain you must suffer from spending so much time rolling them at me. But that is for another post) Why even my one friend who has been around for years and knows what dale was doing is rolling her eyes right on dysfunctional cue as I’m sure too much time has passed and I am stupid if I don’t ‘let it go’, as we are all instructed over and over to do. (Big exasperated sigh) What is left of that friendship has also pretty well been destroyed by the ‘game’ as I for one am quite sick of the disdain I am getting on a regular basis from her now too. No doubt if I don’t want to spend time with her anymore that will be a fault in me won’t it? Which one will it be? Trouble maintaining relationships perhaps? Of course it will be expressed as an abstraction of course without any input required from defective little me. I am expected to enable and ‘forgive’ all of those who are without an ounce of contrition and sidestep ‘responsibility’ and I am to do this (so I am told)’ for MY own good.’ Isn’t that an interesting concept? From where I sit, from my ‘perspective’, in Dale’s personal jargon, this all seems like my ‘letting it go’ is really more for THEIR good than for mine. Doesn’t it seem that way to you too?
You see, in the mysterious ways of dysfunction, all the deniers and manipulators just wants what is best for ME, and it has nothing at all with their own desire to avoid blame or deny accountability for themselves. If I think that may just be the case, they will point out to me how ‘delusional’ I am.
Well, let me list here all of the things that are wrong with me, past and present, according to according to general community wide consensus and authority, as well as all the current buzz all over town, including the rumours which originate god only knows where. Remember, no one EVER talks directly to me. No one ever has, either, so it is all a mystery to me at to the source of it all and the accuracy is questionable also. Still, that does not ‘prove’ I am ‘mad’ if I repeat it all back to you, unless you are ALSO mad for repeating everything YOU hear. Are you?
It is said that if I can’t get along with my family, it is obviously my fault sine they seem to be able to get along with each other (currently and as far as those outside the family know anyway) therefore, I must be the one with the problem. My father runs around behind my back telling people I have ‘no personality.’ He has done this since childhood. I am not to object to it since, ‘really’ he doesn’t do that.
Some psychiatrized people have suggested (out of the sides of their mouths as I walk past) that I 'should get use to being treated' like this because they have had to get used to it too.
One of the library staff members is quite put out with me and suggested she would like to have a way to deny me access to the word processor which I use to write about my experience here. Apparently, she has a friend in court services. I have an ex co-worker there too. You don’t suppose this is another one of those ‘connections’ I see that no one else sees do you? So the library staff member said to me, “Well, they aren’t currently in use and they aren’t broken, so I guess I have no reason to say no.”
(Isn’t she charming?)
Along about the same time, I heard it said that ‘they’ think once again (heard this one in the past too) that I should be prevented from riding the buses. However, another group of the opinionated folks believe that ‘they’ should not worry about it as I am not going to do anything about it anyway.
Someone has suggested that I was ‘just pretending to be crazy.” Someone else maintains the opinion that I am ‘just a bitch.”
In June, just last week, the opinion was expressed that I am ‘ruining the poor guy’s life.’ (I’m sorry but once again they did not identify for me exactly who the poor guy is whose life it is I am said to be ruining.)I could provide you with the same list of possibilities I have heard but that will not narrow it down and besides, the poor guy in question may not even BE one of those.)
I also received a dumped load of sneering contempt from a woman I do not know as she passed by me at Willow West Mall. This woman was about one step away from spitting on me. She mad the 'hoik' sound and sort of blew her breath out in disgust, but held onto the spray. Thank god for small mercies. I had been identified for her by a man who I also did not know, wearing a gray outfit like a workman of some sort. He was middle won’t be able to share that one with you. If you like though, I could repeat the list of guy’s rumoured to be my ‘boyfriend.’) Of course, I won’t be able to prove this one way or the other as I do not know myself who my ‘boyfriend’ is as the list makes that impossible and in fact, I don’t even know if there really IS such a person since messing with my mind was the whole point of the fascinating psychological assault on me I the first place. So, your guess about WHOSE life I am ‘ruining’ is as good as mine.
I am now said to be ‘rich.’
This really annoys a lot of people who believe I am getting special treatment. (In some way from someone) Two different amounts of my big bank account have been named. it is the opinion of some that I am so used to be poor that I would not know what to do with any money anyway. A couple of the downtown addicts who tour around and talk out of the sides of their mouths all day really resent my “riches.” As a matter of fact, many of the locally addicted ones have used me as a dumping ground for the hatred for a number of years, including when some of them were in the Manor and making threatening noises at me right inside Homewood in the halls and dining room for example. I have heard a number of unsolicited opinions form some who I know to be in A.A. groups too.
One of these people is telling people that I am ‘pretending’ to be poor. They all discuss where I live now and are quite certain that I don’t need any help and the only reason I got in (other than being on the central waiting list for a dozen years I guess) is because of ‘influence.’ If this is the result of ‘influence’ I would really hate to see the results to those who are poor and have no influence. Of curse, the only reason I am not working must be because it “would be too much like work.” At least that is the opinion of one of the city employees and some of his co-workers concur. Now they don’t really know all the details of my losses, or all that has actually been done to me or why, but hey, they must understand my experience better than I do right? Besides, perhaps that is my fault TOO since I have not opted to tell them all they feel they are entitled to know.
Back to the addicted type sharing his opinion with his buddy: “That just goes to show you says the loud mouth as he jerks his thumb at me sitting right behind him on the bus. He wanted me to hear him you see) “It’s not what anybody really NEEDS, it’s who they know.” (This guy is actually partly right in this but he is blaming the wrong person and his ‘perception’ of me is his problem. I guess that means he needs his ‘medication’ doesn’t it?)
I really wish that whoever I was supposed to be ‘influencing’ would use his influence I he has any to get me the investigation of Dale and his crew or else at least just talk directly to me. Oh, there I go again using those mystery phrases no one understands.
A man at the library laughs at how I see ‘connections.’ A staff member laughs too. This same man once sat beside me at an Internet terminal pretended to be typing (way too fast for him) and then leaned into my email to join me in reading it! He later announced to some others who it was that was sending me e-mail. He was right. I am sure he considers himself to be very normal. I consider him to be rude and boundary violating.
It is said that a ‘doctor’ has used my ideas to write a ‘paper’ which is just (what else?) ‘fascinating.’ He is said to use mythological symbols including the ‘trickster’ which I have sent to the group of academics in my unacknowledged e-mail explanations to them. Another ‘coincidence?’ The ‘doctor’ is said to be ‘a tall man’’ (hmmmm I said to myself) and he is said to have shared this ‘fascinating’ paper with the local physicians as well. (At a Caduceus Club meeting perhaps?) The teen aged son of one of these doctors has been explaining me and my experience to the community at large. More disdain has been produce as one of the results but it is OK as this is all still a ‘secret’ being kept from me.
SOME people are now saying that Homewood is out of touch with the reality of their own community. ( I must agree)
I am apparently also still not smiling enough. Also some women I don’t know think I ‘should be doing something abut that salt and pepper hair’ I’ve got. They also don’t like my clothes and I have ‘no fashion sense.’ ( Value Village and St Vincent De Paul simply will NOT stock to my personal taste and size though I have told them to shape up)
When Dale asks you to give your opinions on what YOU think, that I think and feel, (and I am sure now he did that since it is in the 'game' concepts used for power) He is not doing that because he is looking for answers or trying to resolve anything. He already knows why I am reacting to him the way I am an the way I was back then too. he is 'the source' who is in ''total control '' of everyone else's perception of the 'game.' he asks you to give your opinions of me based on the false premise he has fed you, no doubt vaguely, which you eagerly devoured at his suggestion. He knew you would project your own beliefs, about the nature of reality itself, into ''It.'' he expected you to attack me on his behalf . That is how he planned to experience me out of his ''circle.''
As stated: " The power is real.''
So is the temptation to use it by those trained to see it. What people like Dale don't see, is that if they use it, they TOO are in danger of giving themselves ''the prize.'' So is everyone else made susceptible to the damage caused when they choose to follow the leader (and ''authority'') and to define reality for someone else by ''group consensus,'' rather than evidence.
The evidence is right in front of you, yet you continue to deny the whole thing to anyone who will listen. You and your behaviour ARE the evidence. You get all those you involved to suppress it and you go along with the cover up. Why?
Because as expected by Dale, you will hide the truth about what you did to me, to take care of your own interests at your victim's expense. Then, you will try to justify it, and rationalize it, further blaming your victim's perceptions and reactions to what you have, in fact, DONE.
Or
When you get the focus off of what is supposedly wrong with ME, and onto what is wrong with you and society as a whole, and the reasons you continue to behave this way, that is when you will begin to understand this. You might also focus your expertise for a least a short time, on what is wrong with people like Dale, ‘trained’ or not, who believe that other people should be controlled by THEM. By the way, there is a book at the Bookshelf right now in the window that Dale might like. It is titled:(I will get it soon and put it here)
So, listen carefully. It is not a choice of being either the controlled or the controller. It is about focusing on the third choice, SELF control. Leaders can only truly lead effectively by example; never by the use of a double standard. It is this double standard that ‘splits’ reality and THAT is the ‘split’ or ‘rift’ that needs to be ‘cured.’
Quiz question: Want to know what the difference is between stories and opinions of me heard and repeated by Homewood staff (and all the people they have pulled into this) and the same stories heard and repeated by me?
Answer: When other people hear them and repeat them (or make them up themselves) they call them rumours and gossip.
When I hear and repeat the same stories and nonsense back to those doing it, it’s called, “paranoid delusions and hallucinated conversations.”
If you were in my position, facing a mob of hateful, judgemental, mocking, ridiculing and self justifying people like you, would you be fearful, angry, resentful, or frustrated?
How about if they drove you into a psychosis you had predicted to them which you thought was happening to you, and would for sure, if you didn’t get ''it'' stopped?
What if they forced you out of your job, (twice) and told your employer you were insane and there was no prospect of recovery unless you agreed to be drugged into submission? (see how nicely that fits in with Dale’s programming? “It’s about your agreements.”
This was an interesting yet somewhat puzzling comment from a couple of the long time young men employed by the grocery store where I go most of the time. I got there on Thursday June 21st, about 6:30pm or so, and when I walked din two of them third personed me by saying this: “There she is.” (Turned to look at me in unison as I looked back) “Do you think that he’s waiting for her in the car”?
‘’Excuse me?’’ (I said to myself so that I would not get psychiatrized some more) “What is THAT supposed to mean? Who is ‘he’ and what car? (I don’t arrive in a car but on the bus)
This has been the constant experience of my life here now for almost fifteen years—all denied. There have been a couple of other repeated comments recently too. They are:
“She had all the information but didn’t know how to put it together. And “She knows everything except WHO he is’?
(These comments always leave me scratching my head but now I non longer bother trying to sort all the various versions of reality as supplied to me by the residents of this city. It is quite pointless to bother with it now. What others don’t understand is what the words MEAN always depend upon context and if someone has fifteen different versions of the same rumours, it cannot be placed into ANY context at all. Using the above example, what is ‘everything’ to the one who is speaking? What about ‘who’ he is’? Is that the literal who, or the abstract ‘who’ as in who he is character wise, and once again, which one of all the ‘hes’ is this person talking about?
You really don’t have to be a genius to know that this much chaos is going to create confusion and all the pressure and judgement applied to one person by thousands of others is going to have a negative effect. How could it not have such an effect?
How about if the same group of a**holes (Dale’s jargon for you not mine) even after all that, continued to mock you, ridicule you, and to display their contempt and disdain for complaining about them and their behaviour? Would you feel just all warm and fuzzy about that?
If so, please write me an essay explaining to me and all the other psychiatrized people how you managed to do that (without a drug boost I mean) because I, and a whole lot of other people all over the world, who have all experienced pretty much the same thing, would REALLY like to know.
So, you who see yourselves as having the ‘superior’ minds, please feel free to tell us.
We’re all ears.
Next, and from now on, on Patricia’s Razor, I intend to fully discuss my experience from MY point of view and will offer LOTS and LOTS of opinions and assessments on all of those who have so generously offered their ongoing opinions etc. on me. (even if they were only talking to their buddies or their relatives standing four feet away) Now I won’t be using your names on that blog anymore BUT, I will be very, very direct and clear about what I think, know and feel.
I know the people I am talking about there will recognize themselves, with no problem, because I will give them lots of clues to enable them to do so. Won’t it be fun for the rest of you to try to decipher who they are? Woo hoo, we is gonna have us a real good time now! I wonder what great stories will get manufactured when all the same people who are yapping all the time about me and the mysterious 'him'(s) try to figure out who I mean, and what is the truth about whomever is the topic of the day. Remember now, if It is you sl;ected as the 'item'or 'subject' under discussion, and it turns out that half the population turns on you, don’t you start that whining and complaining about it now, unless of course, you’d like a close up tour of the Homewood Hilton, you attention seeker you! Youmust pretend not to notice the bloody obvious if you don't want to get 'fixed.'It’s your turn now; you’re “It.’’ (look at Dale smirking away when he hears that little phrase; what a winner he is in the game of life huh?)
You see, what I have told many psychiatric survivours is that ‘we’ need to make ‘them’ FEEL it just as surely as if it was their own experience. I know if the staff at that hospital doesn’t get to FEEL it, they are not going to ‘get it’, (smirk) so I need to give it right back to them. That way they may eventually learn how to change their own minds and stop screwing around with the minds of many of those who understand more than they do.
So tune to Patricia’s Razor, the Alleged Reality (legal jargon that keeps me from accusing all you lovely people ‘falsely”) all you voyeurs out there in the world of Guelph reality. I have a lot of really juicy denigrating news you won’t want to miss.
There is more to come on this post so stay tuned.
