A Personal Perspective: Thoughts on the popular song.
Music has always been a big part of my life. Growing up in the 90s I was lucky to encounter some real-to-life, catchy pieces, including Matchbox Twenty's song"Unwell".
I said those exact words,"But I'm not crazy" over and over in my first years receiving mental health treatment. To me, there was this cliff between normal and insanity. Being given a significant mental health diagnosis made me feel other, almost unhuman. It felt as though my perceptions of the world didn't count as much. I wanted people to know I was still there.
If you see someone in public talking to themselves, it might be tempting to stare or judge. Don't. Hearing voices can be an intensely difficult experience. Even someone yelling back at their voices is unlikely to become violent. They are going through something. Mental illnesses are just as much health conditions as epilepsy, diabetes, or any other health challenge.
