I’ve experience of the mental health system (both child/adolescent and adult), found it to be inherently unhelpful, awful, and misogynist, I’m female, live in england, and feminist.

I’m all 3! Love to contribute. I’m British and worked in US mental health care so got quite a perspective!

I’m a 20 year old feminist in the middle of a creative writing degree and I’m currently working on a publication module. I have suffered from depression and been in and out of therapy since I was 11. Email me at 126080@bathspa.ac.uk, I’d love to help out

The requirements would be:

you are female

you identify as a feminist

you have now or have had mental health issues and experiences with the mental heath system.

Shame about the Y chromosome – I’d have qualified, otherwise.

Good luck with the blog, anyway. I shall read and probably link.

I’ve just started blogging again after a long break and I’d definitely like to explore this issue (and my own mental health issues) in a feminist context outside of my personal blog. So yes, count me in if you decide to do something!

Hi, I saw this at The F-Word too, and I think I meet your criteria: I’ve been dealing with severe depression for the past four years. I was in treatment when it started, and will be going back soon, I think.

I am also autistic, and blog occasionally about how autistic women get overlooked by diagnostic criteria based on observations of only boys.

Send me an email if you think you can use me; if not, you’ll still have a faithful reader in me.
