Mentally ill DUers are leaving this website. [View all]


And it's not the mentally ill people that are the violent psychopaths, with which I doubt any are here. The stigma is so out of hand right now, it's enough for sick people to push people away here and possibly go right back into isolation and into the closet again. Which anyone with any education about mentally ill people (something a lot of people don't have right now) should know how bad that is.
 
We're talking about very out of control ableism here. It is discrimination. Very deep discrimination. It's stirring up strong emotions, because the sick are being attacked for being sick right now. And people aren't realizing how we don't have a strong voice. We aren't celebrating and coming out in full charge with pride of who we are. No, we're beaten down. And that's exactly how we became sick in the first place. I'm packing my bags and coming back when it stops. But to know how many people seemingly hates us and doesn't even know how to trust us? That's putting salt in the wound.
 
I've said my peace and counted to three. That is all.

Many of the DUmmies are self-identifying, and most are posting responses along the line of "they're being mean to meeee!"
This too shall pass.

All DUmmies are mentally ill people, but not all mentally ill people are DUmmies.

Bullshit and you know it.
Mental illness is a badge of honor to you pitiful losers and something you actually yearn for so as to be another excuse in life while expecting to be put on a pedestal and given special recognition for it.

You don`t wish for treatment,you don`t want to exist in normal society,just as it is with drugs,obesity or whatever else you want to be able to drop out and do as to damn well please 24/7 on everyone elses dime.

Pathetic idiots...every last damn one of you.
