Could you mail yourself a large-print copy of Federal Laws 18 U.S. Code 1702 "Obstruction Of Correspondence" and 18 U.S. Code 1708 "Theft or Receipt of Mail Matter Generally" under which it's a federal crime to open another person's mail, or laminate such a large-print copy and t...

I'm sorry that's happening! I recently left a job for similar reasons... I'm glad you have some leadership and are looking out for your coworkers, maybe someone from a labor org like the UE union could advise you on next steps to follow-up with after the petition, or the iww I know has a Boston pres...

oh huh, yeah I guess there is some advantage to not having a "comfort zone" or a clearly-developed Concept of Safety, in that accounting for things other people might see as scary or risky just comes to seem mundane. the *least-harmful* counselor i ever talked to still just started crying ...

As an autistic survivor of a lot of psychiatric profiling and force when I was a teenager, I've been trying to find my way to people who wouldn't direct further abuse at me, nor encourage me to enable oppression against others. (Both have been challenging.) Also I've seen a lot of folks here talk ab...

Hi stranger - I wish I could send you this book, it helped me a lot: www.goodreads.com/book/show/9005.Hello_Cruel_World Definitely you're the best person to decide what harm-reduction plans are good for you, plus whoever you decide is trustworthy...

I want to point out that there's a wealth of research by feminist psychologists, and from the c/s/x movement, about how BPD is a descriptor that professionals put on patients in a highly gendered way, and very often, what's being called BPD could more fairly be described as Complex PTSD - like Stock...

Is something I said considered against the guidelines or too offensive to engage with? A lot of times, after I have named the exact/systemic nature of psychiatric violence against me and my counterparts, social groups have frozen me out, but I do not want to assume that will happen again, and want t...

Fun fact: Feminism is another term for what was first called Women's Liberation! If you're opposed to women's liberation, then you very much are the Man versus Women that you hoped to keep out of your post! Another fun fact: If you suspect that someone has been 'hurt' by actions similar to yours, th...

Hi - I have not been interacting with other people's threads on this site because - 1 I am an adult and a mess, not a teenager or a staff/volunteer, and not someone who should probably be influencing the people this resource is made for, and - 2 I need to avoid getting back into a compulsive loop of...

Hi - Thank you, you've already addressed most of what I was originally thinking about, and I really appreciate it, and if I'm somewhat rambling now I don't expect you or anyone here to have to respond to every point I bring up, this is just the only place I've actually felt I could write about a lot...

Hi Sam - Thank you. I don't right now feel like I could ask anyone that but I'd like to be able to in the future. I think a lot about how different forms of violence interact with each other, and how psychiatric confinement/assault was just brought to bear on me because the softer forms of persuasio...

Hi Sam - thank you - I mean, yes I did see this person several times after that, but we're not living in the same area now. We were partners before I left the place where I grew up, then someone attacked me in a place I moved after that, and then I saw them when I was back in the place I was from. B...

1. If I saw someone I used to have sex with, but made it known to them that between now and then I'd been assaulted and was really destablized, and at one point they tried to re-initiate things sexually, and I reacted with obvious distress crying and talking about just needing to be in a still quiet...
