People Who Sabotage Your Mental Health Recovery
There are people who want to purposefully sabotage your mental health recovery. In what I think is an important article, Breaking Bipolar blog author, Natasha Tracy, asks: Do People Want You To Stay Mentally Ill? Then she details who these people are and why they don't want you to recover from your mental illness. Finally, she reveals what to do about people who want to sabotage your mental health recovery.
It's not only an important read, it's something you should share with others who may not be aware of these types of individuals.

Stand Up for Mental Health
Hiding Mental Illness
Mental health stigma will stick around so long as people with mental illness continue to feel they have to remain in hiding. Stand Up for Yourself. Stand Up for Mental Health.
Join the Stand Up for Mental Health campaign. Put a button on your website or blog (buttons for family members, parents, mental health professionals and organizations too). We also have covers for Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Let others know there's no shame in having depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia or any other mental illness.
