Maybe this is an assumption. Maybe we are all conned into the prescription, Mental Illness multi trillion dollar racket!
Maybe we are seeing the effects of a human doing creating a way for mankind to open their eyes 👀
Maybe when you’re going to understand (most everything is not understood without experience)
human beings with a mental illness require more love and compassion, not less.
You can steer a person in any direction if you’re truly trusted. The con is that the drugs are ineffective.
The person being steered doesn’t understand the process. The prescribing person doesn’t know what the eventual process will do.
The mood stabilizers are causing a critical DNA shift, the zombinal is creating human being that don’t have humanity anymore.
No one has any concept of what the human beings are going through!
Unless you’re a human doing something really wonderful for yourself with love and support!
It’s magic to witness a person with encouragement and support and kindness. There’s way too much going on in this system that has forgotten about the person who has been labeled.. mentally ill.
The system has systematically created monsters that unknowingly (yes completely unknowingly)
split from reality and became murderous.
When the last tree on earth is gone,
we will realize we cannot eat money.
Remember Bob Marley
Love what the dude said about finding Peace
✌️
When Canada 🇨🇦 decides to love their neighbour where their neighbour is at, ending the assumption and stigma of where they’re supposed to be..
Maybe just maybe we all can believe in inclusionism instead of living in a constant state of punitivism (I made up a word)
It’s beautiful when we’re not being punished for being different.
The indifference and separatism is killing Canada 🇨🇦
Like a bad contagious illness.

In the blink of an eye everything changes. Journal Blog on IPHONE Sunday May 13 2018 12:47 PM From Facebook post Donna Hamer Artist Happy Mother’s Day Happy Sunday Wishing everyone who cares for little people or bigger people A splendid day 7 years ago life was very different. It’s really not that different today except for what’s changed the most is how easily I can recognize the blessings now instead of feeling the feelings that used to distract until I became unhappy. Mother’s Day Honouring Day Beautiful day Acknowledge day The day given For praising Accomplishments Best way to share this day Because it’s saying that A wonderful day to celebrate Mom Every single one Everyone Daddy Moms Fur babies Moms Big kid Moms Little kid Moms By themselves because kids are in another country Moms Estranged Moms Lost your kids to suicide Moms I am so grateful for this opportunity to be alive and grateful that I have nurtured my babies. Nobody knows how much time we have to do whatever we can do in life, just do it with love because with love is the universal reality of Blessings and not anything convoluted. Maybe it’s all you get to work with is a hundred years (a brilliant artist told me that) people spend the whole time in feeling unhappy with their own reality. The best way is to acknowledge that you can change your mind and your attitude without changing your environment. Incorporate the things that you love. Love the things that you inspire yourself to do become plans of your own happiness & dreams New creations. Happy Sunday Happy Mother’s Day Sunday May 13 2018 I have this absolutely everything abundant blessings attitude because I have been living in the other ways and it’s proven that it cannot work. It doesn’t work. Mental illness conversation Hiding behind the disguise that mental illness is something to be ashamed of is the worst thing about a society. That when a person speaking of mental wellness is immediately stigmatized into box after box of judgement. Mental wellness is a personal result of years of personal life experience with mental illness. Being mentally ill in 2018 means that you have perfect medication to manage symptoms and that you’re able to advocate your own mental health care cooperatively with your health care team. Love this existence now. It’s been a nightmare existence.. Beings taking Zombie Medication to keep you quiet isn’t about what is healthy for you or healing. Zombie medication is for making zombies. It’s not been designed to make you feel better or calmer, it’s designed for your psyche rulers to feel better about keeping you STFU (shut the fuck up) The mental health care system has never been connected with the mentally ill before now. It’s amazing how it’s always been connected to the condition and the symptoms and never been able to connect with the individual with the situation. What’s your issue? What triggered this is a question from whom I believed my friend who valued me & my precious beautiful personhood. “What is your diagnosis” I didn’t hesitate, I told her I had the “Jelly Bean Disease” Now in 2018 Patients voices are heard loud and clear.. saying how much is beautiful and beneficial about people listening to them. Mental health care systems change because people are waking up to see that the desperate mind is something that needs addressing “RIGHT NOW” before the acts of violence and suicide. Professionals are learning new skills and new ways to design mentally challenged people so they can become mentally healthy and become artists and become qualified to be where they are able to shine as beautiful creative people they’ve always been.. With loving kindness compassion and empathy and support Happy Sunday “KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING AND NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS AND MENTAL WELLNESS” “JUST BE” Sunday May 13 2018 Happy Sunday & Happy Moms Day I am going to design a new language for sharing using the kindness words imaginable. Without using diagrams or system tools or Anagrams. This kind of resource may help everyone stop bullying vulnerable people with their “I’m smarter and know better because I have the letters beside my name” I am not being disrespectful about this, I am saying that everyone has to stop their own egos because everyone has an idea of what they are saying about the mentally challenged, mentally incapable, mentally incapacitated or mentally delayed is dead fucking wrong. Everyone has to stop patting themselves on the back for doing this convoluted process of thinking that they are fixing something. Thank you for sharing your ignorance with me even though you were truly trying to be splendid. Thank you for your lovely kindness when I designed my artwork colouring page “thejoyfulgarden” specifically for the PERG conference (patient engagement resource group) in 2014 I remember realizing that nobody even acknowledge that I did that artwork as a gift of giving back. For my participation in being both a volunteer patient advisor and compassionately being a PaCER (patient and community engagement research) Because I hold your judgement as a person who has mental illness, your harsh judgement and your reality about my gift and me was understood loud and clear. The tapestry that was in front of the podium was mentioned every time any body would walk up to the podium. The coordinator bent down and whispered to me thank you for my wonderful contribution. Not another single person said “thanks for sharing your artwork Donna” The lady across from me mentioned that she was a gardener and she noticed that none of the flowers drawn in the picture resembled nature. After I mentioned that I was the artist. Fucking judgement! This system is so very broken because it’s people who require assistance are not getting the assistance or even being treated with kindness. These people who have specific needs are being marginalized or even more worst are being judged! The best thing about having a supportive environment of your psyche peers & healing care givers is becoming aware. Becoming authentic. This is mental wellness. I’ve been connected with the most inspirational people & artists in YYC for a very very long time. No matter how hard the system doesn’t work, you as a long time patient becomes a person who is the mentally competent human being. You begin with treating yourself with the kindness and compassion and empathy and understanding of your own humanity. You can definitely recognize that the person that you’re having a conversation with is having value in what you’re saying, doing, articulating, screaming your beautiful mind out. Thank you for your kindfulness always is to the best human beings I have been with since October 2012. The gorgeous creative inspirational artists and crew of StudioC prospect Thank you for your valuable message “inclusion collaboration workshop disability becoming absolutely ability, always has been connected with the strongest sense of community & communication” With being connected with the StudioC I had the best experience ever in the life changing program from my favourite artists platform WP Puppet Theatre “View From the Inside” Today is another wonderful opportunity for working with artwork and wellness. The Puppet Power Conference 2018 Honoured to be a volunteer. Happy to be Social Media elite one more time. Or I have an education that says that I know about this and that & you know absolutely nothing because you’re not anybody of any importance. This language says “I am an extremely important expert at this life experience and let me teach you about what it is exactly, instead of you assuming that you know what I live with” A language of listening to the music that the composer sings.. the one best person telling their stories. I am seriously sick to distraction for all of this ignorance going on in a world where life isn’t about being mentally challenged or mentally incomplete or mentally incompetent. FUCK OFF WITH ALL THIS SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND LOOK FOR THE EMOTIONS IN SOMEONES EYES. When I was a little girl before all of the pain from being slammed off the hood of a 1962 Cadillac I always remember that I was treated like I was fine gold, a priceless piece of artwork. SOCIETY HAS TO STOP ASSUMING THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE MENTAL ILLNESSES DO NOT HAVE FEELINGS. STOP BEING AFRAID OF LOVING KINDNESS TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR REALITY. THINK ABOUT A SOCIETY THAT DOES NOT CATER TO STIGMA OR A SOCIETY WHERE HUMAN BEINGS ARE VALUED.. not judged. Take a really good look at your heart and ask yourself why you haven’t given yourself permission to care. Are you so fucking high up there with your God talk that you have lost your very humanity? What if you’re wrong to assume that this fucking hell you fear is the exact same Hell you have created to scare people into your cult reality. There’s nothing worse about others judgement because of the way that you’re not doing something that you’re incapable of anyway. Or maybe it’s because you make everyone unhappy. The reason why this might be true is because you don’t have any respect or value as a member of the club.. like you’re not welcome in the family club classroom because you haven’t proven your worth. You know that you’re supposed to fly through that hoop easily. You haven’t been seen working for money yet or going to church yet. Everyone who cares about what you do.. values you. Everyone who doesn’t ever care has no value no problem no worries no matter.. People are just going to constantly take their own lives.. because it’s not rocket science Martha and Marvin .. “its common sense and compassion to understanding empathy.. That’s how ya stop a desperate mind from wanting death to the pain inside” And I have been saying this also since I have become authentic. I have been very quiet about my own humanity and compassion and empathy and kindfulness and mindfulness. Everyone who is close to me is my beautiful witness “I just wanna know how everyone else in the field of mental health and addiction would look ~flipping burgers at McDonald’s” it’s not that funny because it’s pretty painful that you have great food on your table and I live in poverty on a disability income. And you can take your family to exotic locales. I can definitely keep being stigmatized and then treated like I’m stupid and I don’t know what you are doing and how much you think less of me. Good thing that I am mindful about this little discomfort again and again and again. It’s never gonna stop until you decide you want to be a compassionate human being. I will definitely always be this lousy fucked up no good for nothing fucking lousy mentally insane human, mentally ill fucking idiot that doesn’t deserve blessings or a splendid life experience or healing energy or empathy or compassion or kindness or gratitude. I have been having these suicide prevention workshops in my brain as long as I was on the psyche drugs. Now that I have been disconnected from the mood drugs there’s no more suicide squad fucking with the good work. Me Too ~ I work. Not for money Donna Marie works for hugs. 05:00 June 1st 2018 Appealing to AISH today so I can live without the preauthorization of every single medication medical care system dignity for my own humanity. The committee has been challenged to stop being mean and mentally and physically stressful to their already uncomfortable patient and have some understanding about how much of a terrible experience they cause disability people who need assistance from the community and the system.. not more convolutions. Thank you for your wonderful kindfulness and your amazing respect and compassion my beautiful new social worker. The last one was a fucking nightmare nitwit for 25 years of didn’t listen to a fucking word that I spoke. One time he asked me how I was and I said “I’m very well” He answered “No you’re not you’re on AISH” “Fuck your hat asshole” I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SHARE MY PERSPECTIVE ON THAT!

What a blast singing together and making a YouTube video. Thank you PK for being so awesome!
Acrylic painting is not my preferred medium however I did challenge myself and I am quite happy with the results. Doing something different from the other group members is really what I usually do.
Christmas 2016 on Vancouver Island ~ one of the greatest experiences.. This is the reason.. My Grand Puppy, plus spending time with the most awesome people, my son and his beautiful wife. This year is special because I will also spend time with my sister PK.
To quiet the desperate mind.
Many people think that a suicide attempt is a selfish move because the person just does not care about the people left behind. I can tell you that when a person gets to that point, they truly believe that their loved ones will be much better off with them gone.This is mental illness not selfishness. TRUTH: Depression is a terrible disease and seems relentless. A lot of us have been close to that edge, or dealt with family members in a crisis, and some have lost friends and loved ones. Let's look out for each other and stop sweeping mental illness under the rug. Let's all of us stop talking about only depression. Let's start a conversation about how everyone is affected by mental illness and find the new language about mental wellness. Let's get rid of the word normal and realize that normal is only a setting on the dryer. Let's get on the same positive attitude with conversation about mental health illness (what ever that is) let's have a conversation about a every single person alive wants exactly the same love, acknowledgement, respect for every single person requires these to be able to connect, to live. Nobody wants to be treated as if they don't deserve the best of life and living.
Even the robins are enjoying Thanksgiving weekend. Writing my thoughts down. Have become an expert especially when I have time to compose two Blogs. I'm neglecting the New Evening Journal for a long time because I have been concentrating on completing other things. I'm grateful to the new followers everywhere on the social media network connection I have. This I wrote this morning: As children, if you live in a dysfunctional environment, there are so many skills that you never learn. Two skills are: 1) to be taught how to clean your room and keep it neat. The other is a life skill. 2) learn to tolerate with affection. Everyone says go clean your room. They even give you a timeline. Then when the task is not done effectively there will be consequences - PUNISHMENT ALWAYS PUNISHMENT. Would it be better, possible to use the same analogy as "teach the boy to fish" teach the skill! Why is it that there are so many assumptions that the kid can do it all by himself? Yup ~ Learned this real young. "Only you yourself can do it" oh yeah means I don't ask for help. Yes don't ask for help. Stay stuck in your dysfunction your whole life. It's embedded in your DNA. Hang on to the discomfort of your addiction until you die. Stay stuck in your comfort zone and never change anything. Don't grow, don't you dare ask for help. Don't you dare want - to strive for happiness, contentment, a different reality away from self degradation, self hatred, just keep telling yourself derogatory statements instead of BRAND NEW AFFIRMATIONS ~ how astonishing you are to become a professional artist and a quality photographer. Not only do you have beautiful native eyes, you are keen, abundant joyful natural inside and out. Maybe after a lifetime of telling yourself you're no good, maybe it's time to rerecord those old tapes. Erase the negativity once and for all, and enjoy the authenticity of your soul, your heart, your beautiful HEART. Love yourself, you have overcome a lot of diversity. DMH copyright October 8, 2016
The story of how to live a quality of life is in the 3 C's Chocolate Chip Cookies 😀 have been baking cookies since home economics class at age 13. Eighth grade was weirder than any other grade in all of my professional career in junior high. Weird because it didn't matter how hard I tried to be like a natural kid, circumstances dictated the best way to manage was to fake it. Since the beginning of the year 1970 school sucked. Everything sucked when I was 13. Except making cookies, that never sucked. My guess is that I passed home-ec because everyone loved my baking. That's it that's all. So back to the quality of life. I'm so grateful my life is the 3 C's now.
There's something magical about making something from nothing. Making a puppet come alive from a few scraps of fabric, a moulded piece of paper mache' for a face, acrylic paint to dab on for a pasty complexion. Voilà oh and add some twisted pipe cleaners and ya got a flower. From nothing to magical in about 55 minutes. The WP Puppet Theatre hosted the world at the 7th annual puppet conference. The joy of meeting puppet people and the opportunity of a lifetime to be a participant in "the view from the inside" all about mental wellness. And the opportunity to be a presenter as well. Exactly a full month to the day I will have memories to cherish. The amazing talented people who attended have fantastic memories of the weekend of the well executed puppet conference 2016. I loved the whole event. Especially walking from home to the Kerby Centre at 7:30 am both Saturday and Sunday. I just adored being so relaxed writing my script and then reading my dialogue out load to the audience that honoured my efforts of creating a mask that described the warrior Donna Marie and told the story of the gentleness I have inside that not too many people know about. The whole process involved being very vulnerable as well as stepping completely out of a very familiar comfort zone. I'm so grateful to many people for the chance, but Wendy Passmore Godfrey of WP Puppet Theatre deserves huge applause and accolades, as well as her team, for a spectacular work of Art. I'm certain that my colleagues and collaborators agree. To date I've made 6 puppets. My favourites are the marionette and the pop up puppet named "Dot"
The best amazing Carmen modelled while everyone did their artwork. I'm very pleased with my contribution with the exceptional artists at StudioC. Every new event inspires me to be the greatest artist with brand new skills. I'm a far better photographer and videographer I have ever been, as a result of the photography course I took recently, presented by StudioC. I'm so grateful to the amazing people I have cared about since 2012. Thank you so much to Colin. Thank you to Britney. Thank you to Wilmer. I am so delighted to have so many opportunities to grow as an artist. Plus have connections with really wonderful people I call friends. Plus getting a whole lot of great hugs!! I'm so excited to continue "The new evening journal" Have a fantastic weekend. Friday May 13, 2016
The terrific rapper Stephane inspiring everyone in attendance at StudioC last night. Artists of the world event.
