I have dealt with stigma and discrimination. I have called it out when someone thinks I'm incompetent because I have had mental health issues and suicide attempts.
Even my family called out clinicians when in hospital when they were surprised that I have achieved several Advanced Diplomas.
I am lucky to have family to support me and to remind me of my achievements.
I have an ok self esteem and I "politely" remind people of what I can do and that I can feel just like everyone else.
