Shaming people who take medication for mental illness kills.

I didn’t go on any medication for YEARS because my dad spouted off about “happy pills” and zombification and such.

I’m hardly the only person who’s been through similar.

Indeed, I only started medication after fighting my way through many, many screaming matches with my father and marching him to the doctor so the doctor could explain how the pills work.

I am lucky that I had the strength then to fight. Dealing with a mental illness and having to cope with unsupportive, shaming awfulness? That asks for energy that many people do not have, because being mentally ill is fucking exhausting.

If you want to attack big pharma, then fucking attack big pharma. Stop pointing your guns at us.

Charlie talking sense as usual. We need this shit to live. We’ve tried without it, it doesn’t work.
