We don’t have a ‘mental health crisis’. We have a poverty and cost of living crisis. A trauma and child abuse crisis. A domestic and sexual abuse crisis. A bullying and violence crisis. A working-80-hour-weeks crisis. A healthcare crisis. A social media crisis. An oppression and discrimination crisis. A quality of life crisis. A debt crisis. A social expectations crisis. A body image crisis. Convincing us that all our external pressures and stressors are inside our heads, caused by a mystery mental illness - is gaslighting at its finest. If it’s in our heads, and we are ill, and we are ‘not coping’, then nothing has to change except us.
