@Former-Member  So sorry that people treat you this way. My old friend told me about the social model of disability. I really think society needs to get to the point of inclusion and creating society to cater to people with disability instead of people with disability “fitting in”.  There is ao mic discrimination in society. We have all been raised in it. It took me to get to my 30s to finally meet a couple of people who changed my views on mental health which made me a better person and allowed me to love and have compassion for myself.

I, like you am totally done with caring what others think. I have found “my people”. My community is the psychosocial community and we are the most compassionate, understanding and imperfect wonderful bunch of people. We struggle with the terrors of MH but you will never meet a person with deeper compassion and understanding that someone like us.

So yeah, all the judging pompous asshats who are also lucky enough to have no disability can kindly piss off.
