notapostergirl

Can't you see that by doing what you do you actually create stigma? If you're going to call yourself the poster girl you need to represent EVERYONE, not just the nice clean easy bits.

Do you realise how angry you make people when you claim to be the poster girl for mental health? Do you realise how little you represent people living at the sharp end of the system? Do you understand how easy you've had it treatment-wise compared to people who have to endure the hell that is NHS mental health "care"? Why do you parade mental illness around like it's fashionable? Who decided you are the poster girl? Why don't you speak for anyone but yourself and people who've had the same experiences as you? Are you simply not aware or is it that you just don't care?
