This is @nolan_syreeta. Proudly boldly Mad Black & Disabled. I am claiming Mad as a disability pronoun for the 1st time not because I am angry all the time. Those who know me, know. 😂 I am Mad at being left behind by the current construct of mental health

@nolan_syreeta Let me get level real with you all right now. I am getting Spravato treatment, nasal derivative of ketamine, 2x a week because I still struggle with my will to live. I am struggling with one of my courses through @ElsevierNews Evolve. I sleep in my car every Monday night. Yet

@JimLeBrecht
@DrSamiSchalk
@TeleseFrancesca
@anjalifp
@DougZiedonisMD

And many more
