...for myself when my inner critic invalidates the diagnoses of mental illness by accusing me of being lazy, weak, a faker and attention seeker. It judges my acceptance of having a mental illness as a choice and as license to cop out of my life and shrug off society's expectation that I stand up and fight the good fight like every other responsible adult.
How does one fight against stigma when it is rooted deeply in your own head?
