ACAB, honestly. There should be more options for marginalised groups of people also facing mental illness. They’re just not doing enough. There should just be a good web chat service with either other mentally ill volunteers or trained counsellors. Sometimes it’s hard to actually speak for me but I never have trouble…

I peacefully resisted. I still got hurt. Peacefully in this case means I just became dead weight when they were trying to remove me. I was afraid of anything like that happening so I didn’t do anything at all, but had I gotten sprayed for no reason I’m sure I would have had it way worse

What does it matter? A knife isnt a damn gun. You can take down a person wielding a knife with pepper spray ffs

I’m not sure if I’m okay yet, but I’m not as bad as I was. Thank you. I keep it with a few friends I really trust not to call now, and who know how to talk me down when I need it.
