Kind reminder

It's not your job to tell people how to identify.

Many, many mental health disorders are lifelong, they never go away, but symptom management is possible!

If someone reaches a point that they are choosing to no longer identify with their disorder, or feel that it no longer fits them, or simply choose not to transfer their medical records to a new doctor (hi) because they feel they no longer need access to resources at that time, or if they never had a diagnosis to begin with...

That's none of your business.

You can't force the label on them, or force them to keep it. Yelling about how they still have a disorder isn't helping anyone-- not yourself, not them, not the people still working on themselves watching this happen.

You can't force diagnosis, treatment, or ideals on people. There are many reasons that someone might choose to drop a label or diagnosis, and it's none of your business why or how.

Learn to respect personal autonomy and self-determination in mental health care.

You're not just telling them they have a disorder, you're also telling them that they're struggling, even if they're not.

And that's just not for you to decide.

Someone pissed me off a couple of days ago

So! Below are several links to programs and foundations that promote adult literacy! Hundreds of millions of adults world wide were failed by their education system and now must fend for themselves while trying to read contracts and hospital bills and infographics from the CDC. But they don't have to be alone, and it is never too late to learn!

ProLiteracy: A network of educators, researchers, and advocates which provides research reports, learning materials, and other support to adult education programs. They assist with connecting volunteers to local programs and provide guidance and support to community leaders trying to use their programs' findings to advocate for social and political change.

Adult Literacy League: An adult education program in Central Florida, which aims to provide students with one on one attention to foster growth and confidence. It also offers English Second Language courses and job skills training, and each new student receives a comprehensive assessment to determine the best plan for them.

Saint Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center's Foundational Skills Program: A 100% free adult education program aimed at adults reading below a fifth grade level. It operates year round and is either in person or remote, and they now have a GED testing center that is open to students and the public alike.

Washtenaw Literacy: A free network of trained tutors for adults in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

Adult Learning Program (Las Vegas/Clark County): Free education classes to those lacking a high school diploma, those seeking to learn ESL, and adults who read below an eighth grade level. Also assists in students' search for gainful employment. Nevada got so fucked by COVID and the education/literacy numbers in the South West are grim. Please help these guys.

Hawaii Literacy: In addition to helping adult residents of Hawaii Island learn to read and write AND bridging the education gap in Hawaii's underserved children, they offer computer literacy classes, ESL classes, and a bookmobile. 1 in 6 Hawaiian adults struggle to read and write.

a quick reminder to everyone

I have SEVERE LEARNING DISABILITIES

I am literally disabled because of my learning disabilities, I have faced literal descrimnation because of it.

everytime you call us retarded or a retard you are ACTIVLY upholding the systems in which I am trapped in.

I take more offence in being called a retard than anything due to the literal DECADES of systematic abuse and descrimnation from the medical system, every single government resource, and almost all school alternatives.

fuck you greatly if you use these words against us, I have to live in a country where they hate people like me and would rather us dead than to do literally anything to help people like us.

call us what you will, but I will never call anyone retarded because it’s a basic decency reserved for everyone.

I’m a very happy retard, fuck your ableism!

I will happily live and love and learn even if THE LITERAL GOVERNMENT doesn’t want me too.

(yeah being a mid supports autistic with other learning disabilities and disabilities in general that made me unable to attend a school just means I deserve to die. 100% legit I deal with this literally all the time always fuck the Australian government)

so again fuck you all greatly, for using a literal slur against me one that has been used against me since I was a baby.

fuck you all, genuinely.

did I forfeit my rights to be treated as a human being the moment I had a bit of trouble learning things? Because if I did I’d like to break someone’s teeth with a brick.

Edit: the language and lines between what the fuck developmental disabilities and intellectual disability are is confusing as fuck.

I have gotten very confused between the 2 because they are grouped together half the time.

My apologies to everyone for being utterly confused where I fall because it is extremely confusing to figure out, and internationally it varies wildly according to my brief reading.

I did not mean to be mean or anything I just was genuinely going off what I’ve been told most my life lol.

Shout out to my developmentally disabled brethren you are loved

[acorpsecalledcorva]

I'm anti recovery for myself only, you should absolutely recover though. I'll just be over here making myself worse

[stray-syst3m]

Fun fact. If you don't like something someone posts, you can hit block on their profile instead of harassing them or sending death threats 😊

[snakegentleman]

Hypermobile/hEDS people are being failed so hard by the medical system. I am doing an online program* right now for EDS treatment, and in one of the lessons, the doctor said that it takes people an average of 14 years to be diagnosed, and for a good chuck it can be upwards of 20-30 years, especially if you start seeking it out as an adult woman specifically.

It becomes this collective traumatizing experience that makes seeking treatment after getting diagnosed even harder. Most people average 8 PTs before they find someone who will actually be able to work with them effectively. Personally, I can't even watch these lessons w/o crying because they are actually understanding the nuances of my condition and why regular PT and life is difficult w/o judgement.

*check out the eds clinic- you don't have to be diagnosed, and they take HSA (it is expensive though)

[whatudottu]

Um... so it seems that my first fandom probably has to be the Total Drama series and uh... thinking a lot about Blitzwing made me think a lot about Mike so- shitpost time

Blitz may not functionally (by human definitions) have DID, but they have shown interest in humans and who knows might kinda vaguely like this fleshy system-

[an-assortment-of-forks]

there are doctors there are hospitals there are specialists there is medicine there are systems in place so people do not have to suffer and be tortured under their own chronic pain daily and yet. they're all fucking inaccessible to the people who need it most!!! to what I would argue is most disabled people!! I'm so fucking done with the medical system.

[sluggardbirdchild]

[cw suicide] having alters is so weird. I'd say it's like being a family but only in the way that some of us are connected by nothing but biology. it's hard living your life with intrusive voices who say hateful things or tell you to kys every time something goes wrong. it's hard when no one's fronting and your body doesn't work and everything feels blurry. it's hard never knowing who you are, but noticing that one day you love punk rock and the next day it's the worst thing you've ever heard and you don't understand why your playlists are full of it. I feel like my sense of self is made of sandunes, always shifting, always giving way beneath my feet. it's hard trying to sleep after a day of barely holding it together and being cofronted by a small child who's scared of the monsters under the bed. and a baby who was left to cry themselves to sleep who's desperate to be scooped up and saved from their fear. and then there are the alters whose only motivation seems to be terrifying me and convincing me I'm posessed??? maybe they're gatekeepers trying to stop me from prying and figuring out who everyone is and how it all works but I'm just so exhausted of dealing with it all.

also WHY?? what happened to me??? and how did no one know?? how do I not know?? there are things They don't like me thinking or talking about and it creeps me tf out

[landgraabbed]

i shouldn't look at the notes on posts that i disagree bc the brainrot i find in them..... ooh boy

[elytrafemme]

my best friend (no. 4, i'll start assigning emojis soon for lore followers) asked me about BPD and i told them i'd talk more about it in person because BPD is the exact overlap of my own lived experience (note: i am not diagnosed but have extensive history with BPD in a secret more confusing way) and my psychological interest. but like now i'm thinking about it and generally speaking i think anything that was a symptom towards BPD i experienced has either grown more mild now that i'm out of an active trauma situation, OR has just become part of what i consider my amorphous CPTSD thing,

but i do like. think about the efforts to avoid perceived/real abandonment. and maybe i've not gone to the lengths some folks might with this but to be honest the more i think back to my own personal history the more i realize that i do in fact repeatedly do insane shit to avoid abandonment 😭

[pdid-culture-is]

P-DID culture is feeling stuck because [we] got diagnosed in a country with the ICD-11, started getting treatment then had to move to the US (where the DSM-5 TR is used and) where P-DID isn’t its own diagnosis and self-help is only getting [us] so far (among other things and issues)

.

[maaaahri]

I think the worst thing about the perception of health, both mental and physical, and being disabled in either regard, is that the need for extra support is often viewed, institutionally and therefore culturally, as a dehumanizing element rather than a simple fact of the human experience. No man is an island, and yet, when it comes to needing anything from an IEP to a caretaker, these things are used to subvert one's rights and create the expectation of failure and that's a little ableist innit.

[wishfromthesea]

In retrospect, a lot of things make more sense after finding out we're probably a system

"why do I have so many kintypes and feel like a different person when I change between them?" you're a system of mostly non-humans

"why do I age regress but only sometimes and feel like I'm specific individuals when I do it?" you're a system with littles

"why do I keep making fursonas when having so many feels bad but I feel compelled to rappresent myself in completely separate ways than all my other sonas, and I can't seem to stay with 1 single fursona?" you're a system whose special interest is OCs, you all want a fursona, you're not supposed to be distressed at having so many sonas most people create fursonas voluntarily

"why do I have opposing views on discourse and which view I hold seems to change with no external input?"

"why are my sexuality and gender always changing but the labels genderfluid and abrosexual don't feel like they fit?"

"why do I have such bad memory?"

"why do I talk to myself in my thoughts with different voices?"

"why-" you're most likely a system bestie
