A Tit for a Tat (77)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tit:<\/span> I think he suffers from some mental disorder.
\nTat:<\/span> Which one?
\nTit:<\/span> It doesn’t matter.
\nTat:<\/span> What do you mean?
\nTit:<\/span> Can you imagine the days when disorders like depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD… weren’t well researched?
\nTat:<\/span> Yes, but what are you trying to say?
\nTit:<\/span> I think it’s unfair to just classify him as weird. I don’t know how he is unwell, or whether he or even doctors might know, but he seems so to me. Just because we can’t pinpoint his problem doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one.
\nTat:<\/span> The same would apply to us!
\nTit:<\/span> Yes, others might see us to be unwell in some way too.
\nTat:<\/span> Whether we are diagnosed with mental disorders or not, as long as we suffer needlessly from self-chosen attachment, aversion and delusion, we are all unwell. We don’t need the label of a disorder to have one!<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/strong> I think the song ‘Unwell’ is an anthem of empathy for all with mental disorders. The lyrics are as below.<\/p>\n

Unwell<\/strong> <\/span>(Matchbox Twenty)<\/em><\/p>\n

All day
\nStaring at the ceiling
\nMaking friends with shadows on my wall<\/p>\n

All night
\nHearing voices telling me
\nThat I should get some sleep
\nBecause tomorrow might be good for something<\/p>\n

Hold on
\nI’m feeling like I’m headed for a breakdown
\nAnd I don’t know why<\/p>\n

[Chorus] I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
\nI know, right now you can’t tell
\nBut stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
\nA different side of me
\nI’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
\nI know, right now you don’t care
\nBut soon enough you’re gonna think of me
\nAnd how I used to be<\/p>\n

Me
\nTalking to myself in public
\nDodging glances on the train
\nI know
\nI know they’ve all been talking ’bout me
\nI can hear them whisper
\nAnd it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
\nOut of all the hours thinking
\nSomehow I’ve lost my mind [Chorus]<\/p>\n

I been talking in my sleep
\nPretty soon they’ll come to get me
\nYeah, they’re taking me away [Chorus]<\/p>\n

And how I used to be
\nHey, how I used to be
\nHow I used to be, yeah
\nWell I’m just a little unwell
\nHow I used to be
\nHow I used to be<\/p>\n
