the fundamental problem with abusers is that they have decided your humanity is negotiable and conditional and that any argument in your favor is a slight against them and the fundamental problem with being abused is that it makes you feel like you’re in the wrong for wanting to be treated decently
the trick to self love is that if you’re just too fuckin dumb you won’t care about being cringie because you just straight up won’t know that liking something is passé
Funny thing is that those anti psychiatry people always focus on anti depressants like anti psychotics are FAR more invasive and harsher drugs than most anti depressants and they are literally being forced on people in many cases but these people are extremely quiet when it comes to anti psychotics even though you could easily argue that anti psychotics are far, far scarier medication than anti depressants cause they’d rather we all take heavy medication than question why they fear us and our illness more than they fear our meds
Like studies are showing that anti psychotics might very likely exaggerate cognitive and negative symptoms and might have devastating effects on our brains yet not a sound from these anti psychiatry people when people are being guilt tripped or literally forced to keep taking anti psychotics despite severe side effects or when psychotic people have anti psychotics presented as the only valid choice like not a fucking peep y’all are transparent
“Anti depressants are bad for you” like no ones gonna force a syringe with anti depressants on you against your will can we maybe focus less on the people who voluntarily take anti depressants and more on psychotic people who are forced and coerced into taking invasive meds with no regard for the negative effects of these meds instead of shaming people for freely choosing to take anti depressants like here’s an actual issue for you pals if you hate psychiatric medication so much maybe your activism shouldn’t be exclusively about meds that people can voluntarily start and stop taking any minute I mean what about the meds that people are coerced and forced to take
Neurotypicals: psychiatric medication is bad for you and you don’t need it
Me: I’m schizophrenic and anti psychotics help me stay connected to reality
Neurotypicals: oh no you should take those like I obviously just meant when it comes to illnesses like anxiety and depression when it comes to illnesses that scare me it really doesn’t matter whether your medication is good for you you should definitely take it
