Hi Amber,
Thanks for being so courageous in sharing your experiences with us. The workplace stuff sounds horrendous enough once, let alone repeated. People can be so cruel with mind games, and deliberately do your head in. I'm sorry you've suffered so much, good on you for your determination to use what you've learned to help support others.
We might be kindred spirits as I have a similar passion - I see it as part of the gifts that come from surviving through so much suffering.
Catch you around - keep up the good work. 🙂
Best regards,
Kristin

I just wanted to say that it's so good to hear people conversing about this very important but rather unfortunate topic.
I really encourage anyone else to share their views/experiences. Stigma is something we all need to fight against, for the benefit of everyone.

Hi Justanother47yr,
I absolutely agree with you. In fact, I have had people tell me at times "they call me a carer, but I'm actually a mother". Reminds me of that old saying "mother knows best"!!
(PS - great profile pic!)

You are so right. My ex wife is a neurologist and she despised patients with a mental illness. Usually she would assme they have created the situation themselves because of drugs and felt she should not have to treat them at all.
