The target is not Christians, it’s Christian nationalism.

It’s not white people, it’s white supremacy.

It’s not heterosexuals, it’s homophobia.

It’s not men, it’s patriarchy.

So don’t take it personally. Join the work and dismantle the oppressive systems.

- Carlos A. Rodríguez

My younger self would be so happy if she were in my shoes right now. It’s bad but… it really does get better.

Too much Mental Health Awareness is:
“Talk more”, “Reach out”, “Self-care”, “Resilience”, etc…

Not enough of it is:
“End poverty”, “Fund services”, “End oppression”, “Research treatments and interventions”, “Fuck capitalism”, “Pay your employees properly”, etc…

Nothing matters more than stopping Trump this November. Every progressive cause, every progressive conviction, every progressive goal you have will fare many, many times worse under Trump. Our definitive purpose right now should be reelecting President Biden.

You cannot reliability diagnosis borderline personality disorder in children or adults because it lacks scientific validity.

It is a misdiagnosis of trauma, neurodiversity, autoimmune issues and so on. It is diagnostic overshadowing that compromises people’s dignity + care.

Were any vitamin and/or mineral level tests done prior to receiving your mental illness diagnosis?

(Deficiencies in vitamins: B & D, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, & omega-3 fatty acids can lead to depressive moods & anxiety)

I strongly believe that it’s not helpful to force people into treatment that doesn’t work for them over and over again for years - it’s unethical and traumatising. But the answer isn’t allowing people to die, it’s researching and investing in different treatments and therapies.

Boyfriend just got home from an all nighter at the shop and brought me coffee 😅❤️‍🔥

What if psych hospitals had a therapy group called recovering from suicide where people who are in there for suicide attempts have the opportunity to process the trauma of their brain turning on itself like that and start to heal because a suicide attempt is a trauma.

Just how low and suicidal do you have to be to warrant support?
There is no help out there!!

The bible is really quite woke.

Instead of Christian Visibility Day, what about highlighting the work of Jesus by serving the poor, loving your neighbors, and refusing to speak in dehumanizing ways about people created in God’s image?

Centering Christians isn’t centering Jesus, it’s begging for attention.

So I’m not allowed to take my own life but they’re allowed to take it from me LMAO

Within the current mental health system, what is the best possible support that can be provided to a patient who primarily deals with trauma and why is it no support at all?

Blog: 'Toxic positivity is almost always annoying. But for trauma survivors, it might actually be triggering.'

The fact that others have more or different pain than you doesn't make your pain less valid or easier to deal with.

People who remind us 'others have it worse' may think they're 'helping'-- but more often they're generating shame & discouragement, not perspective or 'gratitude.'

Seeing more of this recently, so reminding u…

DO. NOT. CALL. POLICE. FOR. WELLNESS CHECKS.

Period. Do not do it. It’s violent & can lead to bad outcomes bc police are not trained appropriately to deal with crises like these.

They escalate not deescalate which is what we need
