Trauma is STILL not asked about
When it is, it’s often denied or belittled.
The diagnosis is used as a way to gatekeep care and deny services.
It creates chronic dismissal and structural denial.

Telling someone who has and is surviving #CSA or sexual abuse that their personality is disordered, is wrong and unethical. #TraumaNotPD
This diagnosis is like a red flag to all mental health and social care workers - it means we are hated and suspected before we even get near a service.

To all spending Christmas or the hols estranged from family: you're not broken, selfish, or unworthy. Sometimes, choosing life means letting go of those who hurt us. Totally legitimate chosen Fam include: lovers, partners, rabbits, cats, Twitch friends, snails, stars, clay, plants, dogs and friends.

Classism in psychiatry and psychology
'She locked herself in a therapy room and died in attempting to climb out of a window'.
That raises so many questions over safety procedures on this ward.
Another soul taken.
A family grieving
Lives ruined
Failed by the state.
Who always do too little to late.

The ending of Girl, Interrupted sees the main character reject psychiatry—and specifically Borderline Personality Disorder—for its inherent sexism.
On #BPD, she writes: “To quote my post-Melvin psychiatrist: ‘It’s what they call people whose lifestyles bother them.’”
