Mad preschool teacher! How is it possible to put these words together to honestly describe one's place in the world? Perhaps, this combination of words brings a sense of confusion, concern, or at least a bit of curiosity to read on, I hope. If your framework for what the word mad means is only informed by the dominant Western model of mental health it probably makes no sense at all.
It’s so exciting to read these brave and visionary words! I wish I could send my kids to your school! I look forward to figuring out how to collaborate in the future!
Your post is inspiring and it also made me wistful. I have tried to come off medication a couple of times but it caused me to relapse into psychotic thought patterns again. It was bitterly disappointing as I would really love to live without it. Maybe one day.
Thanks Sarah! It definitely isn't easy going med free. I'm lucky my experiences never included full psychosis or hearing voices which makes this choice easier. Or more accurately makes it less challenging. I really need to stay on my self care game with this path and the regular management can be hard to keep up with.
