CW ab-se, su-cide, anti-survivor sanism.

This Su-cide Prevention Day, I want to speak to an extremely common root cause of su-cide that deserves to have far more awareness: ab-se.

The pathologisation of su-cide as resulting from a mental disorder plays a much more significant role in enabling ab-se and in oppr-ssing survivors than we may realise, in no small by part by foreclosing on any meaning that our su-dality may hold, and therefore making it harder for victims / survivors to recognise themselves as victims / survivors.

***

There are multiple essays on my Pay-treon that go into this topic in much more detail, unpacking the strong relationship between ab-se and su-cide, as well as how depathologising su-cide can help to keep survivors safer.

🔗 in bye-oh to read all essays via Pay-treon.

***

These essays draw on the work of domestic ab-se researchers who criticise the language of "su-cide" when describing deaths that take place in the context of ab-se.

And they are also strongly influenced by the wisdom of psych ab-litionists like @spectaculaurthoughts whose work on depathologising su-cide is powerful, and necessary for achieving a world without ab-se.

***

My work on Pay-treon in general focuses on unpacking the significant role that the Mental Health Industrial Complex plays in enabling ab-se.

This is the ONLY space that I'm aware of that is dedicated to this critical intersection.

💘 Swipe for some recent feedback on this space. Thank you so much to everyone who has shared your feedback so far on this space and on the resources shared there.

There is so much more to mental distress than a person’s neurochemistry, yet psychiatry tends to ignore the plethora of factors outside of a individual’s biology and personal thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their psychological suffering. Thus, its reductionist approach will never provide the solutions needed to remedy the mental health crisis. The MHIC doesn’t have marginalized people’s best interests at heart, so we have to learn to take care of ourselves and each other.

Please note that the term “neuroexpansive” was coined by @ngwagwa exclusively for Black people as a means of decentering ableist, white supremacist narratives surrounding neurodiversity. (my apologies to them for not giving credit prior to posting, I wasn’t aware it was their term)

If you’d like to purchase a guide to help you create an anti-carceral mental health crisis intervention plan so that you and your loved ones can start the journey towards divesting from the psychiatric system, visit my store spectaculaurthoughts.com/store (link in bio)!

your weekly dose of glimmers and spice ✨🌶️

a moment, if yah want, to take a lil sacred pause and notice what stirs in you as you swipe and just allow it to emerge. The smile, the tears, the rage, the awe, the heat, the trembling, the tension, the softening, the feeling seen and belonging, whatever it is i want you to know it makes total f’kn sense to feel what you’re feeling right now 💖

feel free to share and amplify what sparked some feelings in you 🦄😈🤗🌈💖✨🌱

I know it can be scary and overwhelming AND at the same time there is also the awe, the weird, the wild, the beauty, the whimsical 💖🦄 both can exist. ( and if something in you is curious to explore the wild, the weird, the whimsy within you this summer, comment GIUDE and I’ll send it right over for free 🦄✨)

Feeling means the propaganda didn’t work and our human hearts aren’t frozen 🥶

we are in this together🦄💖✨🤗

Luv yah!
Olga
