another day, another moment learning a for-profit mental hospital abuses its patients with financial incentive.
i’m practically crying reading about this because I was forced in a mental hospital like the ones talked about at age 14. it gave me permanent trauma. if I ever go inpatient again, even at a facility not horrible like the old one, I become hysterical and try to escape.
do you want to know why I started opposing capitalism? THIS. the fucking greed and torture of for-profit healthcare.
by the way, there is a petition to shut down the mental hospital in the article I linked if you want to sign it. people are still getting hurt.

direct your ableism discourse on tumblr towards something that fucking matters. mentally ill people don’t deserve to be hurt and dehumanized for profit.
hey it’s disability pride month!
friendly reminder shit like this is happening while you proudly retweet threads on why the word dumb is a slur like you’re an activist. I and many other mentally ill people may never recover from the trauma we’ve endured in the industry. talk about it. share your experiences. shut it down.
