Email from Peter S. Lopez ~ to Jerri

Thursday, August 25, 2010
Greetings Sister Jerri! Surprise! I am still at Carol's Place and getting more use to it now, compared to when I first got there. There is a lot of contentment among clients that can lead or promote apathy and lethargy. One must keep one's recovery and
spiritual growth fresh or it can easily lead to decay and relapse back into the darkness of a relapse back into old mentality, then naturally back into old behavior of past demented days.

I am at the Central Library right now. I want to take this medium and opportunity
to thanks you for all your help. I still have my bi-polar friend to do my Third Party.
I have my SSI Testing today at 3:45 PM. Carol's Place helped me with a Bus Pass.
I have a GA Appointment tomorrow morning.

Sometimes it takes time and distance for us to see a clearer picture of where we
were at before. My OCD and ADHD traits were ideal for my former position at
Sally's, but I did not address my other mental-spiritual issues, including what
could be described (blanketed?) as bi-polar or manic-depressive. In fact I was
in my own kind of denial about it all. I am still in the process of diagnosing my
own self. I have 'issues' with American psychiatry as it is praciced today.

The same as I have done well with working with homeless addicts with issues related to drug addiction, I believe I can be of some help with working with folks who
are challenged by life with mental-spiritual disorders.

My former shrink was a Dr. Blomberg, former nutcracker for Jack Ruby of
Oswald fame. One time when I was at AR Psych he had me tied down in a four
point position on a gurney in a 'quiet room' in fear of my having an 'episode'. He
was not even on the grounds at the time and had not seen me that day to my own
recollection.

Now, in view of the ineptness and follow I see among some professionals who
seem to be groping in the dark with their 'patients' I am interested in going back
to school to study more on mental health and psychiatry in general, with possibly
a major in Counseling Psychology.
Life for me has not been a very smooth business. Now the present bristles
with difficulties, but I have an attitude of gratitude.

Anyways, I am still alive, well and learning!
