As a person who was forced medication at a mental ward because I was showing signs of trauma. I think we need to truly stop further traumatizing/hurting people in order for them to fit normalcy or to act "right". There's so much nuance in healing. Please allow people to keep their bodily autonomy when they're mentally ill. Otherwise you will traumatize them further. There's no humanity in forcing people to fit into boxes because you don't deem them normal. Please share this so no one has to fear people even more after probably living their whole life in fear, because they've seen how monstrous people can be first hand. Don't let these people get away with hurting people even further than they've already been hurt. It generally takes trauma to bring out mental illness. Let people decide their own care!!!! It's a detriment to our society when people that have never gone through something try to negate people who have. None of us our free until ALL OF US ARE FREE!
Alex supported: Support Legislation for Patient-Requested Halt of Court Orders for Shock TherapyAs a volunteer with MindFreedom International, I advocate on a daily basis for survivors of forced shock and I've witnessed the trauma and physical impairment that it so often causes!
Sarah supported: Support Legislation for Patient-Requested Halt of Court Orders for Shock Therapyi ❤️ my friend nick travers and sending him away would only make things worse in the long run. finding a solution while he keeps his daily routine is better in helping him than uprooting his life
Sam supported: Keep Nick Travers HomeYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
