Hi, this is my first post.

This community is really cool I enjoy reading about others experiences it makes me feel less alone I love you all.

Being black and having this disorder is so hard - it took ages for me to be diagnosed and even after I feel like i’m not taken seriously. I might be crazy but I feel like black mental health isn’t taken as seriously and black women are perceived as strong and unbreakable which is really invalidating :/ I’m at a really bad point in my life TW there’s not been a day I haven’t thought about killing myself. I really hate being black I wish my life was easier and I didn’t have to deal with all of this stuff.

Sorry if this post is against the rules. I just need advice on how to cope.
