Things You'll Need:
- First you will need to know what the truth is
- Then you will need to figure out how you can help
- Then you will need to know where you can put this truth
- You may need paper, pencil, yours and others thoughts
- You will have to decide what your motivation is
- You will have to have a lot of determination
-
Step 1
Finding the truth out is the first step, but this will mean that you will have to question everything that you have been taught recently and why it is right or wrong. Much of what you have learned has been based on propaganda and to understand truth you have to be able to know the lies or inaccuracies in something.
-
Step 2
If you are reading this it is because you want to know. No one has asked you to. You are questioning what you know and looking for different answers because maybe the answers you have don't seem to fit. You may be like me and see that our world has a lot of problems and you may want to change some things.
-
Step 3
Once you have the truth you will see that not everyone likes it, that there are those that don't like it, that there are those that will not want to know it or understand it. So you have to be selective in finding where you can or will put it and how others will receive it.
-
Step 4
To know the truth means questioning yourself and others about what is really going on and why? So a good starting point if you have not already started is getting a piece of paper, a pencil, and sitting down and writing out your own personal thoughts on it. Then you will want to know what others think and know because they have information and many times it is different then the information that you have already. Once you have done this then you can put it all together in some logical way and go from there.
-
Step 5
If it is something that is different then what the main stream believes it is often hard to depart from it or continue to question or tell it. So once you have your resources or the information that you need, then you must really question yourself. Am I doing the right thing here? What am I doing this for? Is this something that might cost me or others in any way? Am I willing to pay the cost or see them pay the cost for that? What am I willing to give up to get what I think I want to get? What will this actually mean for me or others? Is it going to be worth it in the long run for me? How much of myself am I willing to have invested in this? How much would I be willing to lose if it is to be a loss to me? Do I really think this is important enough to keep at it even when I feel like giving up? If I get/do this then what am I gaining? If I am gaining anything is it just for me or is there a bigger picture involved in this? What might be the end result? This is where your motivation will come from.
-
Step 6
If you are going against everything other people think that they know or what others think is best for them, to do something that will be a greater thing in the end never give up. Be strong and of good courage as the saying goes. Don't be intimidated or shy or afraid of what they might think if you know that you are telling the truth and doing it for the right reasons.

on 10/6/2008 When you break a bone you go to a doctor, how is that any different from a broken heart? People suffering from mental illness that go untreated spread the suffering to their loved ones. How many suicides in the US could have been prevented if treated? Simply breaking down the etiology of suicide, I can tell you the number is high.
Just like breast cancer and high blood pressure, research is beginning to find direct links in genetics to mental health. If have family history of cancer, I am going to be more diligent about preventive health care such as routine exams. This is no difference from one that has family history of mental illness, they too need to take preventive measures such as self evaluations. More importantly, they need to know that there is nothing wrong with seeking treatment. If you have a the flu, do you wait until you have phenomena to go to the doctor? What if you have

on 8/16/2008 I want to say that I am NOT a scientologist, even though I wrote this article and stand by it.

on 2/4/2008 Everyone reading this should be aware that the anti-psychiatry movement is a wing of the Church of Scientology. The Church of Scientologists have an agenda against psychiatry because 1000's of years ago when human souls were banished from a planet 1000's of light years away, it was psychiatrists who were used as an "army".
You can read more about this by looking for "anti-psychiatry" on wikipedia.
Furthermore, this article is totally hypocritical (it says it wants to expose propaganda - but propaganda is exactly what the Church of Scientology uses to co-erce the public into believing nosense!). This article is also terribly badly written, and doesn't really get to any point at all. It's brainwashing, Scientology rubbish. eHow should know better than to allow people to publish such nonsense!
TAKE THIS OFF EHOW RIGHT AWAY!!!!

on 1/10/2007 As well as what to do, one needs to figure out *how* to do it, how to frame your viewpoint so it reaches the greatest number of folks. And one also needs to reach out to allies. In most situations, there will be allies, people who agree with you.
