https://www.liptember.com.au/t/thetulips It is Liptember. Let’s start the conversation around mental health.
TW - Mental Health, Suicide, Self Harm If you follow me, you know I have depression and anxiety. I’ve tried to kill myself. I have daily suicidal thoughts. I self harm. You might also know that I’m nonbinary, but I am AFAB, I still get seen as AFAB. As such I have had terrible mental health interactions with Drs. One doctor after I said I was suicidal and had a plan said “Well you aren’t going to act on it”. I ended up in the hospital later that month. I was told my disordered eating was just being a teenage girl and “good cause I’ll attract guys”. I’ve been told my diagnosis are false, that I’m not autistic or that my mental health issues must be BPD. In the end it is a mess, but also not enough people talk about mental health. So let’s end the stigma and start the conversation. You might also know I never wear make up. So for the next 30 days, no matter how dysphoric I feel or uncomfortable, I am wearing lipstick. Hopefully, it will start a conversation.
