It is an ‘ism’ like all others. ‘Sanism.’ And most days I deal with it with a certain duck-back-like-grace. But when you brand us the cause of societal ills, I bristle. And I think of where the ‘sane’ have gotten us. And where the ‘sane’ continue to lead us.
The ‘mentally ill’ (this arbitrary societally agreed upon cattle brand to differentiate ‘us’ from ‘them’ re: pain) are overwhelmingly SUBJECT to violence, not perpetrators. I am a card carrying member and those I’ve met in asylums are some of the kindest, lost people I’ve known.
Today is World Mental Health day and a day to remind you that I have struggled and lived with bipolar 2 for 17 years. Abandon shame, embrace yourself and your diagnosis. You can have a rich, successful life and a vital cultural voice. We need you. Happy responsible medicating❤️
