Another predator is coming down!!! #SeanCombs

Mother Nature is the best therapist on earth,

@Theholisticpsyc Honestly, it would be highly beneficial if language & information wasn’t expressed in a way that indicates “fact of all avoidant people” It indicates permanence, no opportunity to heal. It’s just the way we are. Which is not fact at all Avoidance is also caused by severe neglect

People who are avoidant are overwhelmed with their own shame and deal with it by isolating themselves from anyone who can see their flaws.

"Psychiatric labels don't correspond to known biological pathologies that treatments can then target & ‘cure’. They're rather socially constructed labels ascribed to collections of feelings & behaviours deemed disordered by the psychiatric committees compiling DSM." #Sedated

Quote of the year. My 9 year old grandson said yesterday “ I don’t care if I’m Booksmart because I’m smart with the ladies” 🤣💥

Signs someone lacks accountability: ~calls you too sensitive ~tells you to let it go ~claims you live in the past ~focuses on your response not their own actions ~focuses on your reactive abuse not their abusive behaviours ~starts fights, screams & yells each time you try to speak up to scare you into submission ~calls you a nag ~views only your full compliance as healthy ~they should be able to do and say whatever they want with no consequences ~you are the problem always ~they punish you (silent treatment, walking away, get distance & cold, freaking out) if you dare try to have a fair conversation that holds them accountability

Maybe you’re not depressed. Maybe you’re just experiencing the normal human emotion of: sadness. Humans aren’t supposed to be happy 24/7

Chronic negativity is a coping mechanism most people don’t even know they use because it’s so reinforced in society.

People need to stop pathologizing human suffering 👇

@JourneyofHope4U @YouTube I’ve been hospitalized about 40 times with these experiences for this exact reason

@TRSModel @YouTube The conversation stops and also they're told this is a symptoms of a serious illness and they need to be hospitalized, diagnosed, and medicated, often against their will.

Is there a way to look at suicidal thinking without pathologizing it? youtu.be/kaAmJgX1_3I?si… via @YouTube

@JourneyofHope4U @YouTube 1,000% it’s actually one of the most understandable reactions to our experiences

@JourneyofHope4U @YouTube Yes, I spent days planning my funeral riding suicide notes, contemplating death, which was much calmer and safe than dealing with my reality, which was terrifying

@TRSModel @YouTube Reality can feel far more painful and scary than death. I've said before death could feel like a welcome friend when you are caught in a burning building. For me the contemplation of death and dying also made me keenly aware of the preciousness and fragility of life.

@JDaviesPhD I had the exact opposite experience. Lithium was the worst drugs I was prescribed that I never needed.

A powerful piece by J. Moncrieff & M. Ploderl on the unscientific & derogatory behaviour displayed by an author & editors at the Journal of Psychopharmacology, when certain myths about lithium were debunked. An exposé of the disreputable status quo. madintheuk.com/2024/07/desper…

The word "depression" has turned into an umbrella term representing anything upsetting, distressing, sad, feeling unmotivated or fatigued … regardless of cause. It’s completely lost it’s meaning. Exactly how Pharma & the medical industrial complex want it. RESIST

One more time for those at the back: you can’t tell if someone is abusive in their domestic relationships just cos they are nice to you or people you know.

@BgpbearsHawkins Yes, grieving the loss of what I didn’t have, life lost, relationships lost, birthdays ignored all reminded as each passing year..

Are there survivors of a lot of #SA, #CSA & Childhood Physical Abuse (CPA) that find their bdays really hard to take?

“The pandemic of mental anguish that afflicts our time cannot be properly understood, or healed, if viewed as a private problem suffered by damaged individuals.” It’s now the time to re-politicise our approach to mental pain & distress. ― Mark Fisher

How about we eliminate BPD & learn how trauma motivates behaviors, impacts brain/CNC, attachment & emotion regulation I had 4 PD DX in my 25 years in the MH system all of them wrong #nolongerBPD
