Hi
Got this through something a friend said in an email to me:
Confused isn't the same as crazy. I may be very confused - but that doesn't mean that I am crazy.
Love
Lilo

Re: confused is not the same as crazy
agreed- i think sterotyping people as crazy is so hurtful and inaccurate huh? makes the victem out to be the
one with the problem.......rather people are often: traumatized, tortured, abused, neglected, cast aside, suffered, brainwashed, etc.. andtheir actions and behaviors were/are necessary for survival. sad that people get such labels. ive had my fair share of being called crazy and its incredibly painful- if only people who judge could walk a mile in the other persons shoes.

I think people do think crazy and confused are similiar because they are afraid of anything that isn't in a nice little box. The word "crazy" has been so misused that I am not sure if it is relevant at all these days. Confused is how most people really feel if they would only admit it.

Re: confused is not the same as crazy
Thanks for the helpful reminder
A friend of mine used to say, "You aren't crazy, just hurt."
