I will post more from time to time, but if you go to the Medium website, you will see a lot of my writing.
Thanks again.

UK ‘criticals’ are a promiscuous bunch and don’t seem to care who they get into bed with, as long as it spreads their gospel.

Yes, that whole crew do.
A lot of similarities to Scientology.

The same man who described psychiatric treatment as ‘chemicals and electricity’, and has furiously written ‘electroshock’ in all caps, just for dramatic effect, I guess.
The real effect is to frighten, alarm, and shame.

brutal.
I work with people with severe psychotic disorders and everything about this breaks my heart. creating conditions that exacerbate illness at the same time depriving them of any care, especially when they were already unwell, vulnerable to committing or being victim to crime. the cruelty.

Imagine making the effort to come over to Bluesky just to troll people who know that mental illness exists.
Mental health shaming comes in many guises.
Denial of mental illness is just one of them.

Yep.

This crew can continue to live in ‘there’s no such thing as mental illness’ La-La Land if they want, but their stance has zilch to do with caring for patients and everything to do with their own egos.
They represent the whiskey priests of science - hiding their own weaknesses behind moral hypocrisy.

It’s been particularly diabolical over the past week or so.

Imagine, this crew have the entire twittersphere to troll on, yet they stomp over here to troll you some more.
‘Criticals’: overheated, overconfident, and over here.
