Where does it hurt?: locating mental illness in the body

We are often told that "mental illness" is just like "physical illness". It's as serious - they say. However, people still continue to think of disorders suchs as OCD and BIPOLAR as something that's "in your mind". But where is the mind? What is mind? In this serialized essay i would like to explore where the mental ends and the physical begins. My own experience with mental illness has involved so much pain. This is my attempt at exploring where this pain exactly is.

If you don’t love #chickadees we can’t be friends. Noble looking little fluff balls add a lot of character to the world. On another note my latest #manic episode yesterday is coming to a crashing halt. I tried working in the office this morning, but was hurting so much I had to go home after only a few hours. Now I’m sitting here fighting back tears and no desire to work on art. I’m exhausted. #depression sucks! I want to have a drink, but it’s a bad idea.

This year has already started out as a form of fresh hell at work. I'm exhausted and depressed. Why do I just feel like sitting here and crying? Having #mentalilllness makes life challenging.

Argh, the show Wednesday just equated Bipolar with Jekyll and Hyde monsters. This is a literal demonisation of mental illness.
