And:
Thank you to everyone who left comments on my depression/mental health post from last night. I’ve read all the comments and have been thinking about them and formulating a response (likely in the form of another post), but it’s not fully baked yet. Just wanted to let you know I haven’t been ignoring your comments. Keep ‘em coming!
ETA: I find myself flustered/annoyed at certain words now that I am more familiar w/ the disability rights movement. I guess I am realizing (not that I didn’t realize it before, but seeing in a different way, maybe I should say) just how deeply ingrained the stigmas and preconceptions about disability are. But I’ll save that for the fabled post to come.
