Y’see, good service users of Haringey (and Soho, Angela!) We don’t really need to be fighting each other! We need to go forth into battle IN SOLIDARITY…
For me, that means mental health service users working together. Bringing physical and mental health ‘disability’ together, as you did with Equals, just doesn’t work for me. The issues we face are different.
It’s really nothing personal Nora and Barbara. It’s just, this ain’t my vision. And I’ve never met another mental health service user who thought it was theirs, either.
At the end of the day, I could still make a complete recovery from my ‘illness’. It isn’t set in stone. And it could even confer greater than average ABILITIES. I find it a pessimistic and fatalistic outlook to cling to a ‘disabled’ label.
I want to engage in debate and I don’t mind people disagreeing with me. I KNOW my view is not the only one. I ENJOY differences! That’s why I came to live in Haringey!
Come here service users of Haringey and let’s talk!
Am I Still Ill?
