one thing i didnt really come to terms with until i wrote my substack piece is how when i was literally being driven crazy by testosterone (SUCH a dark, horrible time), not one of my many "mental health" clinicians ever mentioned it, instead diagnosed me with mental illnesses
i have so much resentment and anger towards the mental health industry.
its not like it was just one person
it was multiple psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, etc.
all told me i had a "broken brain" instead of looking at me as a whole person and seeing that major red flag

i have had to recover FROM my experiences in the medical and mental health industries
along with recovering from the pain that led me to them in the first place
it really hurt me in multiple ways.

i deeply, DEEPLY resent the idea that our complex, real, meaningful human experiences are all boiled down to meaningless mental illness symptoms
that idea is so disrespectful to our lives and bodies and experiences.
fuck. that.

if that paradigm is something you have found helps you understand yourself and improves your life, im happy for you
although i would encourage you to explore other ways of understanding your struggles
but that wont be me. i reject it.
