Joseph Meyer<p>Something that quickly becomes apparent if you have a dependent family member with a non-communicable psychiatric illness that is treatment-resistant is how unwelcoming and ableist the immigration policies are in nearly every country. The possible exceptions are for applicants with a large amount of money to invest. This suggests that more progressive countries are perhaps a bit less progressive than their citizens would like to believe.</p><p>What I specifically have in mind is that if you are transgender in the USA and considering a move to a friendlier country, you can pretty much forget about it if you are unlucky enough to involuntarily have a serious and incurable psychiatric illness like schizophrenia. Yes, I can understand the economic and social considerations that go into such policies. But, let’s acknowledge those considerations are dehumanizing like other capitalist policies. Let’s also admit that those without such debilitation illnesses, including those who are trans and those with mild mental health issues, are often okay with the discrimination faced by persons like my dependent daughter. The hypocrisy of their silent consent and sometimes even active support for such othering, typically arising from a fear of stigma (i.e., embarrassment) about their disabled brethren who might not behave appropriately, makes them guiltier than those who are more honestly bigoted in my reckoning. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Schizophrenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schizophrenia</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MentalIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalIllness</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discrimination</span></a></p>

Golden Retriever GF<p><span>I was diagnosed with OCD when most people are diagnosed but not when the first symptoms appear. Puberty. But the first time I ever remember symptoms was first grade when I made my first perfect 'o' then skipped recess trying to replicate it. The thing is that it was invisible until it wasn't.<br><br>My mother is where I got my OCD from. Not like she gave it to me. Like Genetically and I never knew. One of the driving factors of OCD is shame. So it was not until I was almost 30 and recently divorced that my mother was cleaning my dishwasher and said,<br><br>"My number is the same as yours and you scared me half to death. I could never tell you because I was so ashamed"<br><br>The number. A lot of people with OCD have a number that is perfect. A number we count to. Pair to and jive to. I probably picked it up from small compulsions my mother performed. Once again the unseen.<br><br>I was always curious about how my wifish was so good with OCD then she asked her mother if she was sure she had the right keys. She went outside and checked every. single. lock. this key opened. There was nothing Tally could do to stop her. With dawning horror I understood the patterns, cleaning and methodical habits. I knew why I recognized them. They were the same as mine.<br><br>My mother was raised to believe this was religious. There was no help for her and this was just the devil shaming her. My mother in law was raised in a barn. I was diagnosed. Given help. Years of therapy. Just one or two generations and there was no help. Another one or two and the answer was a life in Hospital. My grandfather saved my grandmother from a lobotomy but not electroshock therapy. My dad deals with abandonment trauma like I do because his mom was constantly in hospital.<br><br>These illnesses are silent not by choice but because most people can barely deal with me being in a mental hospital twice, they would look at me like I was demon possessed if I started countin outloud. I appreciate that they are getting louder. That tolerance is increasing. But I hold space for those that couldn't. I give patience for those that were never told something so simple as "it's okay, it's gonna be okay". <br><br>LikeI know left handed people that were beaten in catholic school and they are in their thirties. Not 80. This world is cruel enough without me shoooting down the trenches, or questioning why people are the way they are. Why they are maladapted. This world is a cruel place. It was cruel to me, my mother, my sister, my brother and my grandmother. I won't make it crueler because help wasn't available or for any reason at all. It's cruel enough without my critique on a society that runs on rules I was never given but punished for not following.<br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/streamofconciousness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streamofconciousness</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/mentalhealth" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mentalhealth</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/ocd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocd</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/bipolar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bipolar</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/schizophrenia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schizophrenia</a></p>

The crisp air and quiet beauty set the tone for the day. My mum, who has <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/schizophrenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>schizophrenia</span></a> rested peacefully until noon today, recharging as she needed. When she woke, she savoured her usual coffee—a small yet meaningful moment of calm. It’s these simple rituals that truly make the day whole.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LectinFreeDiet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LectinFreeDiet</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Diet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diet</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a></p>
Danielle 🏳️‍⚧️<p>Hi all my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> friends. I come to you today with an urgent plea. My brother is severely <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> and was illegally <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evicted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evicted</span></a> / assaulted by his landlord! I’m just wondering if everyone could interact with our posts to get him Justice. We’re in the middle of a freezing cold winter.

My sister actually died a couple decades ago now, but not from the <a href="https://twit.social/tags/schizophrenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>schizophrenia</span></a>. She died suddenly from type 2 <a href="https://twit.social/tags/diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diabetes</span></a> -- that diabetes is nasty stuff! Anyway, she was actually treated pretty well by our community, so I have that to be thankful for. And I stay involved with <a href="https://twit.social/tags/NAMI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NAMI</span></a>.</p>
