about

Most people who live with mental illness have, at some point, been blamed for their condition. They’ve been called names. Their symptoms have been referred to as “a phase” or something they can control “if they only tried.” They have been illegally discriminated against, with no justice. This is the unwieldy power that stigma holds.

Stigma causes people to feel ashamed for something that is out of their control. Worst of all, stigma prevents people from seeking the help they need. For a group of people who already carry such a heavy burden, stigma is an unacceptable addition to their pain. And while stigma has reduced in recent years, the pace of progress has not been quick enough.

All of us in the mental health community need to raise our voices against stigma. Every day, in every possible way, we need to stand up to stigma.

I have a borderline personality disorder and I´m not ashamed.

lyrics

Scars on my body
scars on my soul
scars on my heart
scars in my head

Today I feel alive I don´t need to hurt myself

Follow me through my thoughts
and you will meet the real me
Follow me through my thoughts
and you will see the pain in me
