Crooked Beauty
By Ken Paul Rosenthal
AWI Winner, June 2012
CONTENT HEADS UP
Discussion of stigma, medication management

What did you think?
How did you feel?
perspective of needing to be medicated to turn off the real person in order to
function in 'normal' settings. That struck me, many artistic folx struggle with this,
where we love their artistry, but think they are 'off' somehow
It made me think about how our society is a construct that not everyone ﬁts into,
but that doesn't mean there is something 'wrong' with them
Highly sensitive soul
it was beautiful and the message really hit home in a few ways
I felt it stigmatized using medicine to help with mental health

What are some practices
that help support
your wellness?
aﬃrming oneself frequently
taking time out in my day to do something for myself
self compassion
changing expectations for myself when circumstances beyond my own control
change
being open minded

What did you think?
How did you feel?
its the back of my neck for me
upset stomach
My head was wandering
it makes me wonder how many people around me are feeling this but
just hiding it well
anxious, yes, tightness in my chest

How can we support
ourselves and others?
Slowing down and living more simply
Understand that everyone is going through their own battles, and treat everyone with that in mind
Be patient with one another
respecting one another
being compassionate
Validating others' feelings even if our experiences or feelings are different
be a good listener
