In honor of asexual awareness week, I’d like to point out that psychiatry is still hurting people who are ace.

hey. im not asexual, im more like hypersexual. I have childhood trauma that was misdiagnosed as schizophrenia, and you mentioned that being an introvert and a loner, that that will make them give you that diagnosis and I didn’t knew that. I thought my diagnosis was solemnly based on my behavior after the abuse. me being acting out and at the same time withdrawing etc. Ive always been an introvert and that was not the issue, the issue was that being and oddball made me a target for abuse that never was addressed. so now im thinking maybe if I wasn’t an introvert I would’ve had the PTSD diagnosis instead of the bogus schizophrenia diagnosis that made them put me on drugs for years that destroyed my health. fuck them all. Ive been completely drug free for more than a decade now and I have a happy life. im not their victim anymore but sometimes I find new information and it all comes back and it makes me really mad.
