You have NO interest in destigmatizing mental illness for those of us who have literally been PUT IN CHAINS and locked into some of the most horrific “hospitals.” You have no interest in destigmatizing people mental illness for people like me

And the way y’all talk... y’all sure as HELL don’t want to destigmatize personality disorders that actually *can* make people abusive and mean and dangerous. Because this “mentally ill people would NEVER do something like that, all the ones I’ve met are sweet little lambs,”
