I just have to say that the people I am privileged to support amaze me every day.

They often credit me for their victories.

However - they deserve the credit. Their willingness to engage in the work has created the shift. I highlight and celebrate this often with folx.

It gives me joy to see people walk out of my office feeling a sense of control over their own lives again.

This is the art of social work.

care IS health care.

However, it is only sparsely publicly funded.

We invested so much time and effort over the last 15 years reducing stigma - yet as a society, we did not invest in access to care.

A lot of talk - not much action.

This needs to change. This deep suffering impacts other systems of the body and puts pressure on larger social structures.

Another therapist screwed up and caused another mental crisis for me. Second one this year. Same thing has happened many times

It goes like this: therapist thinks I'm voluntarily suppressing emotion. Anger, I guess? She then does CBT. "Challenge emotions with evidence" and all that crap.

That triggers a war in my mind and terror. Therapist only sees "anger" and thinks this is progress.

Skipping details, my severe reaction lasts for weeks.

Compared with straight couples, gay men and lesbian women are more likely to encourage their spouse to seek mental health care by framing problems as largely biochemical, fixable only with professional care or medicine, and work to destigmatize this care.

Wow, her solutions are to not rebuild Mental Healthcare Services as they should be and go after local municipalities for Human Rights violations to override local law to force the building of housing

Someone apparently deleted their post about needing but being too poor to pay and in such need of it that it made holding a job nearly impossible.

Poverty is about a lack of personal resources, but also a lack of societal resources; if you're poor, frequently counselors won't take you on as a client if you're on .

When you lack the resources to meet your most basic health care needs, society should step up. Too often it doesn't.
