What are your experiences with being stigmatised and or mistreated because of your MH diagnoses / labels (whether accurate or not)
This is often on my mind I have not had good experiences with the providers in this forest. And I’ve found most “family” and even “friends” not to be understanding in real life I don’t “over share” This lack of understanding is often even in response to a heavily censored few words spoken by me (in “real” life in this forest) __________________ |

I think my worst experience was when I was telling someone about did.
i asked him if he knew what it was, and he's like yes, I know, it's like the ancient city of atlantis it's fake, and so are you and I'm thinking wow, who does he think I am. a robot or something? |

being told, quite bluntly, that locking me up would probably be the best thing to do because mentally ill people can't make decisions

Not so much labeled... not formally... but looking back I can see that others saw my problems while I carried on in denial. I feel a bit foolish and embarrassed by this now.

I have had to avoid certain hospitals and practitioners because I wouldn’t get proper treatment. They’d see borderline and think I was attention seeking, even if I had a legitimate medical condition. Rather frustrating.
I am not what other people think. I’m not perfect but I’m not a monster or a whiner either. |

When I was in school, I had this temporary position as the moderator because our class was noisy. I wasn't controlling but I told them to keep quiet. They treated me like the bad guy... Again, I wasn't trying to control them. I was doing my job and telling people to quiet down...because our noisy behavior got us into trouble. I just quitted because it was too much for me...
I just hate it when people see me as the bad guy for doing something I have to do... __________________ Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.~ |

Usually I mask what I’m going through now, and it usually serves quite well.....like others, I do it for a quiet time n in order to get on. I’ve had several bouts of depression in my life, plus other m/h issues. Friends and family have shown understanding sometimes, but, pretty much, the consensus is, I’m making too much out of things, nothing really is the matter, and I’ve openly been mocked, dismissed, etc, by those who claim to know and love me best. My Doc (thankfully!) is one of the handful of people that I have, who I know I can rely upon for support.
I’ve been told (in the past) that I don’t talk enough or ask for help.but, I have tried reaching out for help, and have been knocked back down, invalidated, and like I’m irrelevant. My family and I have now come to a silent agreement, not talking personal. I know, bit of a whine....lol, but in short, I relate completely xx |
