Читать книгу The Psychosis of God - Jeff Hood - Страница 8

The Psychosis of God is the result of many years worth of encounters with ignorant dumbasses. I remember the one who told me that the mentally ill were bound for hell. I remember one who told me that mental illness was fake. I remember the one who told me that reading the Bible would heal my mental illness. I remember all of them and more. The ignorant dumbasses provided all of the fuel that I ever could need to write this book. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

God is nuts. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to engage the crazy side of God. If I hadn’t been able to come to terms with my own mental illness, I don’t know that I would have ever really met God. I know I was not alone in all of these explorations. Thank you God for being crazy as hell too. I wouldn’t have been able to write this book without you.

I make it through life with the help of my doctors. Thank you from the depths of my mind.

Lithium also played a big part in the production of this book. Thank you for leveling me out.

Friends have talked me through various stages and manifestations of mental illness. Without their support, you would be reading my obituary. Thank you for holding me to the light.

My mentors are with me everywhere I go. Thank you for constantly pushing me.

To my family, it’s good to be crazy with you. Thank you for riding this thing out with me.

My chickens are the best medicine I have ever had. Thank you for your love my feathered friends.

Emily. I can never say enough. Ours is a crazy love. I can’t wait to grow crazier with you.

Jeff, Phillip, Quinley, Lucas and Madeleine. Your daddy loves you more than even the craziest minds could ever imagine. I write for you. Carry these wild words to the ends of the universe and beyond. The mentally ill God will meet you there.
