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.

Dementia is not a normal part of aging, she says. It is a disease that is linked with neuropathology in the brain.

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.

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.

A column in The Imprint last month begins by quoting an odd claim made by David Sanders, in the preface to the report of a commission he chaired. 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.
