Weaker or Stronger
Weaker or Stronger: Mental Illness and Victim Blaming.
Someone I care about sent me a message; she told me I should see a psychologist about my bipolar disorder ... she said it would make me "stronger". The unspoken corollary to that must be that at present I am weak.
I love this person; I love her very much.
But she doesn't realize how wrong she is. I wish, instead of bipolar disorder, I had Cancer ... I wish this because no one would ever look at me dealing with cancer and imagine it was all in my head; that it wasn't as serious as I made it out to be; that I was weak for what it was doing to me.
No one ever blames the victim suffering
This sickens me
I don't normally write here ... I've got other social mediums that I post my thoughts on. But I had to post a link to this article because ... because this sort of thing just should not be happening in our world, in Fucking America, today. (Shouldn't be happening ANYWHERE, but isn't Fucking America supposed to be the Land of the Free!?)
