Only Us

@OnlyUsCampaign

There is no 'them and us' - there's#OnlyUs. Whatever our mental health label, 4/4 of us are human beings. 'Come out' by wearing a badge :'-) [views my own]

As survivors, service users, mad people, disabled people, we are targets for state violence, through the Health & Social Care systems, through the Benefits system. Our reactions to this, our ways of coping with this, should not be pathologised, medicalised.

We are empathic beings who feel for each other. Our very success as a species is rooted in our ability to be aware of each other's needs, to notice each other's pain and to experience deeply felt physiological and emotional empathy. Empathy is remembering that everybody has a story. Multiple stories. And remembering to make space to hear someone else’s story before immediately telling your own. Kae Tempest

The Mental Health Act is 40 years old this week and we desperately need the UK government to update it. But we can’t do it without you. Today is our day of action. We need you to sign this petition and share it with everyone you know 👇 bit.ly/raisethestandard
The Mental Health Act is outdated. It's not fit for purpose. It needs reform. Before the next election. Sign our petition.

How many of us have to die for this to be different? So many of our peers lost due to systemic neglect & exclusion. Believe suicidal people. @TraumaPhDandMe was kind, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable & intelligent & was deserving of care & support. Another devastating loss

'Reach out if you're struggling with your mental health', they said. 'Ask for help', they said. I'm exhausted. I have been reaching out (for current episode) since 2019. I am worse now. I am really exhausted and pretty suicidal. I spoke to 111 for 90 minutes. I am alone again.
