The one thing that’s hard about all this is not the betrayal by the very people who should be supporting us, but the brick wall you’re in within your brain. The brain feels like it’s damaged. I’ve had stutters in speech, pacing, outbursts of emotion, and multiple symptoms. I’m not even a whistleblower. I had…

Despite suffering intensively with the flashbacks and the brain changes, I went into episodes of bursts of laughter pacing, losing my memory, constant thoughts of feeling stuck and wanting survival in my head.

You shouldn’t have to experience gaslighting and discrimination which distorts your perception of reality to stand up for your mental health rights.
