Hi fellow survivors,

We have all experienced some level of Sanism and Mentalism in our recovery from mental health conditions.

Definition: "Mentalism or sanism is a form of discrimination and oppression against a mental trait or condition a person has, or is judged to have."

Some people support us through our mental health struggles, providing some much needed validation and compassion, while others have used it against us in order to abuse with impunity, destroy our credibility and seek out malicious agendas. These abusers could be our friends, family, healthcare professionals; any and all human beings.

How have you been discriminated against? Let your anger flow on this thread.

Thanks,
