My trEvolution: The Pitfalls of Western Medicine

Experimental Performance Art Piece I did, that explores the very personal struggle I had with 17 years of misdiagnosis, the ups and downs of psychatric medications, the stigmas associated with the "labels" you see on my chest.

Holy crap thats Tim eyster? Sponge from salute your shorts?! Whoa....

[trevolutioning]

@steveparok00 yes sir. It's me. I've spent a busy, crazy time in obscurity (that was totally intentional) over the past decade. What did you think of the video? Did it make you FEEL something other than the numbness most of us walk around in?

Good performance, good job with the song, but damn, dude, you need a freakin burger or something.

@twztdfmgtr hahaaha well try being on ADHD medication for a while, you'll lose weight too (they are a derivative of METHAMPHETAMINE)

Thanks for the shout out on FB... I'm glad you got my message on how this touched me. =)

Dude, This brought me to tears... I'm 27 and this is me. I just wanted to let you know, you touched my soul.

Hi sponge just wanted to say I am about 180 days DRUG free, and it IS the greatest feeling in the world! Hope you can join us someday~ ^_^

@trevolutioning Yes, it made me feel that prescription medication in United States has done nothing to improve our conditions except make us feel addicted and worthless. I know this because I quit cold turkey this past May, from dozens of medications; I was a walking zombie for about 9 years or so, and boy did I go through some stuff I would NEVER want to experience again. Now about 4 months clean, I've never felt better!
