Survivors against PD #StopSIM@survivorsnotpd.bsky.social · 10mo ago@jendaffin.bsky.social such an important talk today expanding on research conducted by Platform. Trauma is STILL not asked about When it is, it’s often denied or belittled. The diagnosis is used as a way to gatekeep care and deny services. It creates chronic dismissal and structural denial.
Good morning to everyone joining us in Liverpool and online for this year’s RRN conference! We are ready for two days of learning, discussion and working together to inspire a collective shift toward relational, trauma-informed care with relationships at the heart. #RRNConf25

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.

Yes it’s us from ‘X’ to those asking if we’re real or fake!
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. *Devastated & Terrified

No one should be told that they have a disordered personality. #TraumaNotPD
It’s not ok. It’s not fair. It’s not humane. It’s wrong. Survive in spite of it all. The horrors persist, but so do we 🤜 🤛
Lauren 🌸@loncb.bsky.social · 2y agoThere is no mental health system. It is corrupt and broken. I don’t know how anyone in the ‘system’ or anyone in power thinks that this can be okay? #traumanotpd #madchat #eupd #suicide #mentalhealth
TW: Suicide I’m grateful that, thanks to the brill @georgejulian.bsky.social, Morgan’s inquest is receiving so much awareness. But I also know of multiple—and I mean multiple—inquests that have happened or are about to start this year. I truly can’t overstate the scale of this crisis. #TraumaNotPD
