for the most part, cis-male therapists used to tell me i have bi-polar or BPD. woman & queer therapist diagnosed me with PTSD.
once i got the resources & clear headedness to advocate for myself, i did standard PTSD therapy. i rested a LOT. i fixed a few problems in my life. and now i do not have a diagnosable mental illness.
please tell me who it serves to slap lifelong, "you'll never get better & there's no way to fix this" tags on patients.
please tell me who profits from that.
please tell me who suffers.
*grabs a pitchfork*
and let's change this paradigm, pls.
