The Children of the Invisible Revolution
Are you feeling fed up with being mistreated by 'service providers', 'outreach supports' and 'healthcare workers'? You're not alone because they aren't taught a lick about trauma and how to manage it and make their living on the revolving door system that sucks people in and spits them out, often worse than before without any regulation or accountability beyond the odd token sorry.
They're often defensive and hostile, acting like you're unreasonable and ridiculous.
Also, they act like small moments of recognition is supposed to absolve them of the fact that they do basically nothing for money while people struggling for even the basics at reliving trauma in their wake on less than a living wage.
I don't want pandering. I want my voice to count and I want to matter. But while mostly white, privileged people run the show in some invisible genocide they don't believe in then the suicide rate will stay the same like it always has or get worse.
By the way, how do they just ignore that fact and stat that proves what they're doing isn't helping?
Furthermore, the saying goes that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. Yet this is exactly what everyone in the system is doing!
Ultimately, they all need to stop throwing all the responsibility for the lack of improvements in our world culture at disabled and struggling people, start looking at themselves a little closer and more critically and start taking an active role in citizenship beyond what they do for money.
In conclusion, if privileged people start taking responsibility for what their actions have done to those who have innocently and trustingly sought their help only to be damaged, abandoned and even destroyed physically in the process then we will be one step closer to being a peaceful world society.
Until then a moment of silence and appreciation is needed for everyone living on nothing but a pile of broken and dying, or dead dreams, fading or faded from memory, fighting to rectify the injustice every day for the rest of their lives, even though it means little or no thanks and the peace and equality something they will never experience in their lifetime, or the lifetime of their children.
@communicativePond1728 Thank you so much for expressing what many of us feel but often struggle to put into words. Your message resonated with me deeply, as I've gone through similar challenges during my childhood and teenage years. It's heart-warming to hear someone talk about these issues with such honesty.
I relate to the frustration of encountering service providers and healthcare workers who seem oblivious to the impact of trauma. Despite living in one of the most privileged countries in the world, I've had my share of awful encounters before finally finding a supportive connection in recent years. I'm incredibly grateful to have encountered this person, but my heart aches for those who will never experience such luck. The impact of this is immeasurable, and as you rightly pointed out, has cost so many lives.
Your description of the systemic issues and the lack of understanding about trauma within these institutions is painfully accurate. It's disheartening to witness the defensive and hostile attitudes, especially when seeking genuine support. I totally agree that recognizing the problem is not enough, it requires a sincere commitment to change and a critical self-reflection from those in power.
Thank you for giving a voice to these issues and for emphasizing the importance of a meaningful change.
