2nd callout for Anarchism and Mental Health zine

Are you an anarchist that suffers (or has suffered) from mental illness?

Would you be interested in telling your story, sharing your experience of mental illness and support (or the lack of support) within the anarchist/activist community?

Have you got any suggestions for how we in the anarchist community can better support each other with regards to mental illness?
I am publishing a zine about anarchism and mental health in Aotearoa.

If you’re interested in contributing (it can be anonymous and the length and level of detail are up to you) then email your stories, poetry, cartoons etc to anarchiazine (at) gmail.com.

Submissions are due this week, but if you email me and let me know what you're writing about, I can wait til the end of the month to recieve the actual article.

Re: 2nd callout for Anarchism and Mental Health zine

The whole idea that mental disturbances are "health problems" is just another superstitious.
For sure emotional stress and chemicals abuse can disturb the functioning ofthe brain. However, it is analog to a lousy driver who manage badly a good car (ol a lousy programer who prepare programs with lot of bugs).

My email is listed in the post - anarchiazine [at] gmail.com

I don't understand what you are trying to say with "not very anon through a blog", feel free to clarify.

Cheers,
Asher

There is lots of copy-left info here.
www.thechangeagency.org/01_cms/details.asp

I'm not sure if much of it is related directly to mental health issues, but it is about supportive communities, support groups, avoiding burnout, dealing with trauma, and other skill for activist life.
It could be useful to include some of this info, or links to it, in the zine.
