Musings galore.....

Foraging through Puzli's eloquently quoted numbers , my mouth twirls northward to finally show my long-suppressed grin. A grin for the witty numbers eventually changes into a sombre smile as I read through the speed of his thoughts and the twists of his words. Through all the meanderings, the pejorative labels of mental illness, the broken paths, the nonchalance clashing with a matter-of-fact attitude that is sometimes apparent in his written word, I still see Puzli as someone who's so much more than a helpless product of something that was (and still largely is) beyond his control. Maybe that is because I know him intimately. Or maybe that is the case with anyone else who has experienced mental illness. I don't know. But would it hurt to venture a hope that each person, so affected, is capable of harnessing that one ray of light and converting it into eternal sunshine?

Our blog is about the nuances and subtleties of mental illness. As experienced by a person diagnosed with Schizoaffective and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, and as experienced 2nd-hand by another person who happens to be a mental health professional. We hope to give a unique perspective to the experience of mental illness and the numerous issues connected with it. We hope to discuss things that are gently swept beneath the carpet, we hope to discuss issues that are pertinent to you as consumers of mental health services. We hope to break the hierarchy between the mental health professional and the patient. But above all, we hope to start a journey of the
variegated human spirit through its trials and tribulations, and at the end of it, we hope to celebrate its indomitable nature. Hop on, it's gonna be an interesting ride!
