Your mind will lie to you.

It will tell you that you are lazy.

I want to challenge that today. If you have a mental illness and you are trying and you are doing the things that you need to do, You are not lazy.

You are exhausted.

There is a massive difference and it's one that you need to ensure  that you make for yourself.

Success as a person with mental illness can be hard to find but I got to tell you it is there.

We're going to talk about laziness versus exhaustion.

You may not be able to do some of the things that you could do before you had a mental illness.

You're doing your best and that's a good thing.

We got an interesting comment from somebody this week about an interview that I did with my friend Ruth (you can check that out on the STP podcast).

She said that she has a problem with fake it to you make it I share the same reservations about fake it ‘till you make it.

I'm going to talk about why today on STP.

Today on STP we're talking about stigma.

What is it?

Why is it?

& what can we do about it?

Stigma is a mark, stain or blemish. Myths, misunderstanding, ignorance, negative attitudes can all result in stigma for people living with mental health conditions, who may be treated as dangerous, different, or as if they are somehow less than other people. The stigma is not true or fair, but it still hurts.

When a person is labelled by their illness they are no longer seen as the person they are, but as part of a stereotyped group.

This is an episode that's going to be really important.

Ruth is one of the extraordinary people I volunteer with at MIEACT (mental Illness Education ACT).

Ruth's story of childhood mental illness brought on by abuse coupled with difficulties in getting adequate mental health care, are a telling example of WHY mental illness awareness is crucial.

With the love and support of her husband, kids and the right mental heath team, Ruth is an extraordinary woman living an extraordinary life.

Her story will educate, it will make you laugh, and overall it will make you marvel at her strength of character.  Listen and be inspired.

We go into workplaces, schools, universities and more and share our lived experience of mental illness.

We do this by using the 'Do No Harm' story telling framework. https://mieact.org.au/donoharm-framework/

In short 'Do NO Harm' allows us to tell our stories safely.

According to the MIEACT website 'For over 25 years MIEACT has addressed stigma with the power of personal story-telling about mental illness in the community... In 2011, MIEACT took a closer look at the risks of personal story telling when re-telling episodes of trauma, suicide, self-harm, disorder eating. Through extensive research, consultation and review MIEACT was able to highlight the vulnerabilities and safety risks to both story-teller and listener that can have a negative impact and further reduce learning outcomes.'

Ruth and I have used the principles of 'Do No Harm' in our conversation.

While MIEACT has help facilitate the interview they are in no way Affiliated with Shattered - The Podcast [STP].

We've heard it said a lot lately; 'My family doesn't care about my mental illness.

While we can't give an answer to each individual situation I decided to ask Merey her thoughts on the subject.

Hi We're Merey and Mark.  We've been married for 26 years and have lived with Mark's mental illness for 15 of those years.

M&MI is your chance to get inside our relationship.

What has been the highs?

what has been the lows?

What tools have you used to keep our marriage together?  Awareness is fantastic, but UNDERSTANDING is better!

Because we can't fix a problem if we don't understand it.

If life is a search for hope, what does it mean when you hate hope?

In my mind I struggle with the concept the thought of hope.

I was in a meeting the other day and I said to somebody that I can't stand the idea of hope. They looked at me like I was crazy!

I want to explain today, like I did to that person, why at times for me, hope not only seems impossible- BUT IS impossible.

A road-block in my mental health journey.

I've heard it said many times; my parents just don't understand. It's even a song!

Thing is when you've got a mental illness, It can feel like people don't understand. That they don't even care.

I want to challenge that today.

We’re going to check out a few of the reasons why family members have trouble communicating with you and how they misinterpret some of the things signs that you send out.
