The Voices in my Head

On May 3rd, We're going to listen to a TedTalk by Eleanor Longden. 

Here's the abstract from the website: 

"To all appearances, Eleanor Longden was just like every other student, heading to college full of promise and without a care in the world. That was until the voices in her head started talking. Initially innocuous, these internal narrators became increasingly antagonistic and dictatorial, turning her life into a living nightmare. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, hospitalized, drugged, Longden was discarded by a system that didn't know how to help her. Longden tells the moving tale of her years-long journey back to mental health, and makes the case that it was through learning to listen to her voices that she was able to survive."

And then we'll talk about the strategies she used to win herself back, and the external forces working for and against her.
