[iamthegirlfriend]

YOURE RIGHT, "skitzophrenia" doesnt exist. BUT schizophrenia does.

learn to spell you fucking moron.

[Mija98]

Nothing to get. Mels made notes on what the voices say to her, and she's telling everyone what they say. It's rather simple.

[murrymurrymurrymurry]

Hi Melinda

Hope you find the encouragement to write a journal or diary even if you decide not to publish it. I think its great that you aspire to something other than youtube. SZ magazine has a great article on sisters. If your sisters are seeing this, I encourage them to contact Melinda and discuss that story.

I've always wondered if you've done a video about how you and Rob met and fell in love? If you've made a video, can you link me? And if you havent made one, can you make one?

[gouliegirl187]

I think this could be somehow good for you. do what you want is your channel! I haven't been on here in a while... a long while! Hi Melinda!!! Glad to see you are still doing good! and making vids!

When executioners in Britain hung famous criminals they would sell pieces of the rope used for cash, the noose used on a famous villain particularly sought after. Now you know where the term 'money for old rope' originated. I know you're into snippets of trivia. If you already knew that one sorry. Take care......

[TheWisemonkey8]

It is very interesting... reminds me in many ways of a very sparse version of the spontaneous written style employed by the 'American beat generation' writers. This is incredibly sincere and worthy poetry Mel. Perhaps it opens a literary window to your experience and hopefully allows others a better understanding of individuals with mental health issues. I very much enjoyed this Mel. I for one and very grateful and glad you are back :). I send my sincere and kind regards to you and RoB.

[TheWisemonkey8]

As for any group of people attacking you because of this well I beg you to take no notice of them. Have a lovely day.

[cvjucla3]

Yeah, it does have that 'Beat Generation' feel. Mel's really good at stringing words together.

[cvjucla3]

I've heard that some poets would take words or a set of passages that they had written over an extended period of time, from notebooks or whatever, and would really take joy in the process of putting them together in various poems. The creative part is in the process of editing. I think one of the most fun parts in creating is in editing, whether it is in making a cd with your favorite songs, in music, film, or in writing.

[cvjucla3]

I hear some great poetry. The way that you juxtapose words, terms & phrases is really cool. You've turned the voices into a positive. Hopefully, they'll be completely gone. And I know that you consciously know that the voices are just coming from your brain that has the volume on a little loud. But by taking the voices & using them creatively, you take away the pernicious connotation that the voices people traditionaly incur evoke. I guess balance is the key to reducing internet usage, Mel.:)

[mhd76]

i am glad to see a video from you. :)

[IChoseTheRedPill]

maybe you are better off keeping this to yourself... unless this is helpful for you... you do seem better... i don't know, i'm just looking out for you.

take good care and peaCe2U

When in a florid manic pychosis I heard the voice of God. If you don't mind, what do your voices sound like? Are they male, female, or both. What about the emotional tone? Do the voices ever talk to you? These voices seem completely indifferent to your presence. In my case God spoke directly to me in a striking baritone. I also felt the ground shaking.

Thank you.

[melsbasketcase]

They are male and female. Mostly I hear them make fun of me. Some of them offer advice. I picture people I know and I hate that because it makes me fear people.

[danielerich]

Welcome back Melinda! Sending greetings from Pennsylvania!

[Elenkhos]

Do you ever respond to any messages or comments to your subscribers?

[melsbasketcase]

[Elenkhos]

[evilapplepie]

[f417h]

Its ok to speak in the empty garden

you didnt break anything

[Chiyo1967]

Good to see you Mel, love ya girl.

[BiodegradeableMan]

If I didn't have my talking potatoes to keep me company I think I'd go crazy.

Inmendham's doing a Conan the Barbarian and I feel a guilty pleasure watching it, must admit.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women.

[schoolmaster1945]

Hello Mel, Welcome back....quite interesting.."Little Deuce Coupe" was one of my favorite Beach Boys songs....you seem to be doing better...regards...

[JewelAngel]

I'm glad you didn't decide to leave.

[2bsirius]

Mel, this is brilliant AND it's not good for you....

I especially like the line, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to get through this thing called life."

Amen to that sister!

[cleansox]

@2bsirius That is the first line in the Prince song "Let's Go Crazy". Mel is telling us the things the voices in her head say, and if you listen, lyrics to songs are a large part of them.

[2bsirius]

@cleansox

Yes, I know.
