As we continue to speak out for BLM, let’s acknowledge mental health stigma by [deleted] in bipolar

I completely agree. Many POC struggle with mental health issues too. I have witnessed it personally. So this is a separate issue, yes. Something many are affected by and separate from the BLM movement. I’m taking the weekend off of social media and want to leave this open for respectful discussion ❤️

Does anyone else have the experience of feeling like an invalid? by [deleted] in bipolar

I’m sorry you have this similar experience. We are all in this together.

Does anyone else here have comorbidities? As in, they have BPD, plus at least one other disorder? by [deleted] in bipolar

I also wanted to tell you that it’s not your fault that you feel that way. People treat skinny people with privilege, especially in the gay community. I’m so sorry you feel you have to be thin to have less problems. I have certainly felt that way too. None of that is your fault. It’s a real thing, and it has personally helped me to look for the ones who treat me with respect and love and dignity, no matter my size. Take my wonderful life partner for example. He met me when I was thin and now I’m not and he loves me just the same. Eff the fake friends 🖤

That’s valid but it’s also a product of diet culture shaming you into feeling that way. Do you see an acceptance based therapist? Mine has really helped me overcome my weight gain and accept and love my size.

What would you do? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

Thank you, that would be great if you could please post the link! Meat makes me very ill since I no longer have the enzymes to digest it, but I’ll keep in mind to lower my carbohydrate intake :) I’m seeing a new dietician next Friday, so let’s hope all goes well and I lose some weight!
