I honestly don't give a damn about Stigma.. I feel NO need to try and educate the masses... Why? Why should I.

I went to a pan clinic due to severe Fibro pain and I was denied any kind of treatment because I have a history of self harm( over 3 years ago) .. Was I angry? Sure I was . But reality is .. I have 2 issues that there is NO specific test to prove either.... Bipolar and Fibro ..

I just take care of myself as much as possible and when I bump into someone in the medical field or other wise that hasn't a clue and thinks I am going to explode and swing from the ceiling fan squawking like a goose... I prefer to just really laugh it off.. These peoples opinions and actions have no bearing in my life.

Maybe I have just grown a thick skin. I just pick and choose my battles more carefully.

Just my opinion of course
