The Importance of Psychological Hygiene

Evelina Anville (yes! a new name!) has left a link to another scary article. What is it with the abundance of weirdness these days?

Remember: lack of psychological hygiene makes the psyche explode during complicated moments in life. If you are somewhat bearing up but just barely, starting college, graduation, pregnancy, new job, loss of employment, menopause, andropause, physical illness, bereavement, etc. will sap the little strength you still have, and the psyche will crash.

Of course, people who refuse to grow and choose to consume their children instead (like the person in the article) are incapable of any psychological hygiene that doesn’t involve cannibalizing the children even more.

Wasn’t this story horrifying? I thought it was so heartbreaking when the children became hysterical at the thought of going to school. She has them completely terrified of the outside world. It’s like they have Stokholm Syndrome. Shudder.

  Horrible! Imagine, they are stuck there all day long, completely trapped, hearing all these stories how going to school is the end of the world.
  
  And then people attacked me when I said this was child abuse. What else can it be??

To try to build your life on a foundation of pentecostal christianity is asking for trouble.

Well, in US psychotherapy I was told the idea of this kind of hygiene was a strategy of denial and a coping mechanism that shielded one from one’s alleged true state of mind.

I just responded to someone on a Youtube query, where I stated, pretty much, that the intellectual shamans were the risk takers of the psychical realm, which is why they are likely to burn out at some point. It’s part of the likely trajectory.

I don’t understand women who are glad to get their periods (unless that means they were worried about an unwanted pregnancy). I am going through pre-menopause and I’d love to go months without one.

  The writer seems totally into a very contrived feminine role.

    I agree. This is supposed to be a parody but all I see is idiotic joking by a bunch of woman-haters.
    
    I find this kind of “humor” disgusting.

  “I don’t understand women who are glad to get their periods (unless that means they were worried about an unwanted pregnancy).”
  
  – That’s me. I was worried about it even when I hadn’t had any sex for months. It’s a neurotic reaction.

I thought the original article was a joke…

  I think she means it to be funny. But that makes it even worse in my book. Screaming at kids, making them terrified of the outside world, and then leading them to “cast out the devil” from the home is abusive–not funny.

    – Poor kids, that’s all I can say. Poor, poor kids.

    If this whole thing is not a joke, it’s not funny.
