Telling someone who has and is surviving #CSA or sexual abuse that their personality is disordered, is wrong and unethical. #TraumaNotPD
This diagnosis is like a red flag to all mental health and social care workers - it means we are hated and suspected before we even get near a service.

To all spending Christmas or the hols estranged from family: you're not broken, selfish, or unworthy. Sometimes, choosing life means letting go of those who hurt us. Totally legitimate chosen Fam include: lovers, partners, rabbits, cats, Twitch friends, snails, stars, clay, plants, dogs and friends.

Suicidal thoughts are loud, but they don't tell the truth. The world is better with you in it.

'She locked herself in a therapy room and died in attempting to climb out of a window'.
That raises so many questions over safety procedures on this ward.
Another soul taken.
A family grieving
Lives ruined
Failed by the state.
Who always do too little to late.

Psychiatric nurse tried to free patient stuck in window - BBC News

Jessica Powell, 20, died three days after the incident at a hospital in Yeovil in 2020.

Not worth wasting time on people who deep down believe you ‘lack insight’ for not accepting their imposed understanding of your despair. Life is too short to tolerate such intolerance.

The ending of Girl, Interrupted sees the main character reject psychiatry—and specifically Borderline Personality Disorder—for its inherent sexism.

On #BPD, she writes: “To quote my post-Melvin psychiatrist: ‘It’s what they call people whose lifestyles bother them.’”

Think it’s fair to say we’re all pretty disappointed* with @teamlabouruk.bsky.social with regards to broken mental health support promises.
