To the employers and managers and supervisors who have all told me that my (chronic) mental health issues and the treatment thereof is having a negative effect on my job and their perception of me in some way: go fuck yourself. To anyone who is suffering through our broken (mental) health care system, who is having their worth determined and livelihood threatened by how many sick days it takes for you to feel stable and healthy and whole: I love you. I believe you. Keep fighting. These people may not understand what is happening to you but there are countless others out there who do and we need to stand together and support each other. As I type this, I am in tears, fearful that one more sick day to see a psychiatrist or a GP or to adjust to a new medication will mean the end of gainful employment for myself, I draw strength from all of your efforts simply to survive
