Against Therapy
Holden:
I am glad that you will be out of that accursed institution soon. :)
Holden:
The good news is that means I may be released from this "day program" in mid-February.
So,would they release you by mid-February? I would be very happy for you if they did.
Nation of One:
They are arranging for me to attend one night per week "anger management" (but say that will cost $30 per week). It's for 12 weeks. All this is supposedly mandated by a court. What a farce.
Still, I will be relieved not to have to attend the day program since it is so reminiscent of the standard factory/hospital/prison/school institutions of our world.
I will have to be insistent that they release me from the "day [jail] program" a couple weeks into the "Anger Management" crap.
I was just sent a $500 bill for "urine analysis" from some lab - evidently some ass-licking lab charges $80 per urine screening. Holy Christ, what a racket the legal system and the health industry are! They're all going to get what's coming to them one day, but they sure won't get a penny from me.
I mean, this systematic stupidity ... its days are numbered, for sure.
Bioreference Laboratories Inc, my a-s-s ...
What a bunch of servile scientists and charlatans.
These urine analyses are mandatory, mind you. If we refuse, we get arrested for non-compliance. ::)
I know I must sound like a real brat, but this is one medium which I don't have to hold in how I think and feel. When I am there, I suffocate. It's not even funny, but just as our hero, Henry Fool, stated. They want to suffocate me, Holden. :-\
No wonder I just want to hide in a room with computers, books, and a cot! :D
Holden:
They want to suffocate you,yes.But they shall NEVER succeed.Soon they will all turn into dust and ashes.
But you Mr. H:
Even bronze is aged by time, but not all the ages, Hentrich, shall destroy thy fame, since you alone did show to mortals the rule of self-sufficiency and the easiest path of life.
Nation of One:
Update: I calmly brought the outrageous urinalysis bill to the attention of a "case manager". She was very cool about it, defusing the whole situation by saying she must have made a mistake and checked a wrong box. It looks like some government agency is going to get stuck paying Bioreference Laboratories Incorporated for those expensive jars of p-i-s-s.
Also, I am in the process of trying to get into the Anger Management "sessions" ... It looks as though before too long I will be released from the day jail program. At least I've been able to stay focused throughout, and the psychiatrist I met with (from India) had no problem with my preference for being off psychiatric medication. I explained that I don't want any medications messing up my wetware, and he was very understanding, saying he was certainly not a "pill pusher". :)
Not only that, but all along I have been vocal about not wanting to participate in any Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Step mumbo jumbo or even the alternative Smart Recovery meetings.
I have not been phony at all, and this has kept me calm ... most of the time.
I remember before I had to attend this place I had not purchased any books for a long, long time. In fact, I was going through several textbooks right on the computer (pdf files). Well, what really has helped me get through this mandatory attendance in an all day "group therapy"/grammar-school setting, is all the books I allowed myself to purchase over the past few months! You see, clients[inmates?] are not permitted to have their phones or any devices out, but, for whatever reasons, my books slid ... a few others draw pictures and doodle or color all day, so I guess going through math exercises was viewed to be about the same as sketching in a coloring book.
Maybe studying mathematics and programming releases some kind of chemical in my brain ...
I used to drink alone, and I usually smoked herb alone ... and, of course, besides textbooks and on-line guidance, I study alone. It is a solitary activity.
Math therapy? :o
