The mental “health” “care” communities, Big Pharma, and the Big Three organized religions (in general, and the American fundamentalist “Bible Belt” in particular) have been roasted again and again by advanced professionals and amateurs alike. Activist and counterculture groups such as G, L, B, and T have come in for their share, as well. So, as many people constantly suggest here on BCTS, do it for yourself.

Do it for yourself, not for your audience, nor to “strike a blow” against the damned hypocrites—both of those groups were here long before we were, and will still be here long after we have gone. Others like you have already published their stories to confront the hypocrites and expose them to the audience. And yet, psychiatrists and nurses Ratched are still mind-phucking and pill-pushing, Big Pharma is still declaring dividends and stock splits, the scripture thumpers are still preaching and screeching in synagogs and on street-corners (to be seen of men), and just about everyone else is fighting a personal turf war just for a little more room to breathe… So do it for yourself, to cleanse and purify yourself and, hopefully, gain yourself a little more peace in this life.

If you go for commercial (traditional) publication, editors and revisions may be inevitable. The Internet and digital formats have thankfully made self-publication much easier but, even before all that, people have had to self-publish in “dead tree” format in order to speak their own truths without editorial interference. No matter which way you wind up going with it, I can only repeat what others have already said: do it for your self.

Best of luck, and may we all find some peace.
