ok, suffice it to say, I think the concept of “anti recovery” is bad. I really just don’t see why we can’t address issues of young teens rejecting help or people on tumblr being rude over health advice without labelling people and vilifying them in a way that causes division, infighting, and abuses people incapable of recovery. 

anti “anti-recovery” rhetoric is further aligned with neurotypical ableists than it is with the needs of the overall community in the way its presented and “cares” for everyone in the mentally ill community. it’s not healthy, it’s not in everyone’s interests, and if you can’t address the real issues without creating a villain to talk about and attack (~anti recovery tumblr~) you really don’t have the benefit of anyone but yourself in mind.

i mean is it really so hard to understand that the best way to get teenagers to realize they’re being unhealthy and convince them to get help ISN’T to label them and treat them like antagonists, right? who is that supposed to actually help other than you by making you feel superior to them???
