End the Stigma
I am really tired of all the stigma surrounding people (myself included) with metal illnesses; that we’re incompetent, dangerous, and all sorts of negative things. May also happens to be mental health month.
So I have an idea. I would like people with mental illnesses to upload a picture of themselves holding up a sign that goes something like this
Hello my name is [name] and I have a mental illness [or say which ones]. I’m also [all these positive things- talents/personality traits/nice things]. #endthestigma
Upload it to tumblr/twitter/whathaveyou with the hashtag “endthestigma” and maybe even some facts about metal health/illness.
If anybody has any ideas to improve this before I start doing it, please let me know.
