The writing appears heart felt but the picture is just so ergh.
Oddly I saw only yesterday, someone posted something similar on instagram, their photo showed real vulnerability and the words were far more thought provoking.
so I havenāt grunkaāing the thread yet so apologies if someone else has already said this, but as a survivor of chronic MH issues I really hate it when people use beautiful, well lighted sexy thot shots to highlight MH issues. I hate it because it gives a false impression of what severe MH suffering actually looks like, poor MH is closely linked with poor physical health and the vast majority of people in severe MH crises do NOT look sexy and are UNABLE to create sexy selfies. Certainly at my nadirs I was a physical mess, either skeletal or horribly bloated, grey skin, acne, thin straw-like hair, dirty sack cloth clothing etc. the media portrayal of female MH sufferers as waiflike, beautiful Winona Ryder in Girl Interruped types is hugely unhelpful to ordinary sufferers and eats away at their already rock bottom self esteem imo. The other reason I dislike this sort of thing is because the sexy thot shots are often an attempt to get compliments, dressed up as an expression of bravery and awareness-raising. If Jack wanted to raise awareness of MH issues perhaps she could lend her platform to some ordinary women, chronic MH sufferers who donāt all look like supermodels who can talk about what life is like for them. And just as importantly, their loved ones as living with someone with chronic MH issues can be just as hard and upsetting as for the sufferer (this does not get acknowledged enough imo).
I find it disingenuous.
Also Jack 6 days is not enough time to get used to new meds, youāre going to need at least six weeks of constant monitoring if the prescription is complex as you make out and not just, I dunno, a standard anti anxiety med or something.
