needy
t's always in the back your head
Stigma invalidates my experience as being "lesser than"
others.
makes me feel its better not to say anything
[or stigma doesnt give you the chance to meet yourself
Hopelessness- especially because stigma stems from a place
of that individual being uneducated.
: It makes me angry, and disappointed that even with all the
information out there, people don't take the time to learn
about it.
they see you as your mental illness and nothing else
Those who push stigma on others, aren't reaching their full
potential either

What makes it difficult to reach out for help?
judgement
society making us Feeling less than or weak
They might feel like they will get judged
no ﬁnancial access
hopeless
don't want to bother people
how people have reacted in the past when I reached out
It is dangerous to out myself.
We are taught to accept it or take it as normal
They are family
THERE. IS. NO. EDUCATION. IN. THE. PUBLIC. SCHOOL. SYSTEM. Therefore we don't know where to
begin and look. Especially in high school
Dont want to be a burden on parents
it feels like people have an idea about me. shes always seems quiet and sad when it is not true. it
makes me feel like people cannot see me as a happy well balance person. when it is how i feel, some
days.
Our culture judment with traditions
other ppls issues are bigger than mine. Why would I reach out
fear of acceptance
I am perceived as weak.
Not feeling what I'm going through can be understood
I am perceived as to strong.
I am just trying to be the center of attention or selﬁsh
Ive reached out in the past and it wasn’t helpful
