The Mental Elves
@thementalelves.bsky.social
I live with mental distress. Interested in alternative approaches outside the system and creating lived experience and peer support spaces. Harmed by critical psychiatry, mad survivor, forced to avoid services to prevent further harm.
It starts to feel like unwillingness to listen and a shield to protect the other from sitting in the hopeless place with me.
Be brave. Join me for a bit. Your company may just make it more manageable and I might find a reason to go on. 2/

It's not even the economy. It's just pure ideology. One year in and this labour govt is more committed to internal power games than improving Britain.

That's hopeful but I don't think it's true. Some people never do. The hardest, most invisible work I've ever done

All LLM have imbibed stereotypes and accentuated nonsense. The stigma towards mental health is embedded in ChatGPT, along with racism, sexism and every other ism. Therapists in training feeding large amounts of transcribed sessions doesn't help (where's the ethics?). But it's also really useful too

This reminds me of the time when Gove re wrote what having Special Educational needs meant, plummeting the numbers of those able to receive help. Still apeing reform. Did they not clock Polanski eating their vote?

That the capitalist view of the season is in direct contrast to what nature is doing. Secondly, the lack of things to do and people to see

Avoiding at all costs. Do you like them?

Hi Debs. Not 8pm but I won't be around then. It's feeling tough. I welcome any messages when the time comes. #madskychat

You know that's not always safe, right?

I've seen no policies about it....it concerns me

It's a good graph. Tell me, do you have a policy plan for ending violence against women and girls?
