as someone who works in the mental health field. the way some of you talk about mentally ill elderly people is absolutely atrocious and i’m going to need you to start seeing the elderly as human. that will be you one day and you’re going to wish younger folks had more compassion.
#like talking about how mentally ill / suicidal geriatric people should ‘just deal with it until they die’ like what is wrong with you??#the elderly are HUMAN. a lot of them have loads of trauma and a lot of them have never been able to unpack that trauma.#even if it’s ‘just a joke’ do you hear yourselves? they can hear you!!#geriatric folks have so much to offer our communities and they shouldn’t be left to suffer because of their age.#mental health care should be for EVERYONE who needs it.#eno.txt#sorry i heard some shit today and got very angry!!!
