What makes you seek art therapy?
Mental Health As A POC vs Media.
The situation with Naomi Osaka was a recall to this prevalent problem.
I always find that as a poc, especially as one that is less ambiguous, whether one is a celebrity or not comes with a certain treatment when it comes to mental health.
It isn’t taken as seriously, it isn’t handled as delicately and problems are seen as almost non existent.
Please remember it is always YOU and YOUR mental health over other things. Take what time you have to when you need.
This is a very personal comic, even though it’s not very long and doesn’t have many details. There were many opportunities in my life where my ADHD should have been caught, but I felt like I had been failed several times by the same professionals I had sought help from. It all boiled down to the fact they thought they knew me better than I knew me and therefore what I had to say was not deemed important enough to listen to.
It wasn’t until I started seeing my current therapist that I was actually allowed to speak for myself. At first it seemed to only confirm my Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but the more I talked, the more she began to realize that there was something else going on. One day she politely asked me to stop for a moment and point blank asked me “Bri, have you ever heard of Inattentive ADHD?” I had not.
And it was then I began my true journey.
A considerate Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor, sharing a milky beverage with a friend.
I have felt so empowered by Eccleston’s recent advocacy for men’s mental health and discussions of his own anorexia. It can take a lot of bravery to do so in a world that can be so unkind. Here’s to wishing him the best on his ongoing journey and thanking him for the joy he’s brought me and millions of others as an incredible actor.
