Some Reps in BL
You are entering the Spoiler Zone
MY SOAPBOX - Mental health is a personal and yet socially oriented matter. My authority on this subject is not relevant here. Make your own deductions of the author’s authority and understanding of disability and mental health. This is meant to emphasize that disability and mental health are normal, “abnormalities” are kind of everywhere. Some of these are realistic, some are silly.
Take care of yourself, and be mindful of triggers ❤️
