@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
"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
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
To demedicalise distress is not to delegitimise distress. One can honor, respect and care for profound suffering without labeling it as illness, pathology or disorder.
@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
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.
“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.

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

Instead of repackaging Borderline Personality Disorder as a Childhood subtype of PTSD, how about we repackage PTSD to better reflect the developmental impact of trauma on personality?
