I figure normalizing getting FED THE FUCK UP is one good place to start.
As I step into peer support, I'm not going to be trying to help people cope in the way of resigning and anesthetizing themselves to intolerable things. I'm not going to participate in the institutionalized gaslighting.
This stuff is so horrible for so many people. We can come together to share our frustrations and validate one another's outrage. We don't deserve to be treated like this. Finding the energy to do something about it when we're so ill and stressed out is hard, but staying silent is even harder. The wider the communication, understanding, and solidarity goes, the easier and more likely it will be for people everywhere to push back.
