My Brains Not Broken
SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
I was writing a post a few weeks ago when I ended up using a term I rarely think about: self-stigma. It’s not that it’s a foreign concept to me, but I don’t think I’m very comfortable using the term or understanding it well when it is used. That’s why I decided to do a little research to learn about self-stigma, how it shows up in our lives and how we can deal with it.

Getting to know ourselves is a lifelong journey – full of twists, turns, surprises and disappointments. What doesn’t matter to us one year could be monumentally important the next, and so on and so forth throughout our lives. I used to think that learning new things about myself was more cinematic. Time would slow down, and my moment of clarity would spring forward.

I have thought that no one would want me if they knew the real me for, oh, my whole life. It's not because I'm an ax-murderer or puppy-hater or anything; it's just because I'm me, and "me" is very messy, indeed. The inner life of a bipolar can be torture. And then there's whatever Natasha has to offer on top of it. And then there's Ehler's-Danlos. And then there's fibromyalgia.

As soon as one fad – predictive analytics – is debunked, they come up with another: taking “health terrorism” – extrapolating from horror stories to justify more removal of children – and slapping a more acceptable name on it: “safety science.

He wrote: “Child protection is perhaps the only field where some child deaths are assumed to be inevitable, no matter how hard we work to stop them.” Really? I know of no fire chief who has claimed it’s possible to prevent any child from ever dying in a fire.
