Representation

So recently I finished reading John Green’s newer book, and not only did it fit for Mental Health Awareness Month, it also made me look into my own habits with my own mental health. Granted, I don’t have #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder like Aza, but sometimes my own #Anxiety leads me to feel trapped in spiraling thoughts. And at times, like Aza, I become so involved in my own affairs that I forget about the world around me.

I’m curious to see if others have read the book, and I want to know what you all have thought about it. Hope everyone has a great day!

(If this isn’t where I should post this or post this question at all, I sincerely apologize!)

So I’m working on a fiction fantasy book and working on a DID character. I’ve done a lot of research on how media has represented DID characters and where that’s gone terribly wrong to say the least. I was hoping to politely ask for some opinions, but how would anyone with DID like to see characters with DID represented in a fantasy book? More specifically what you’d want to see and less of what maybe you wouldn’t want to read.

I’ve seen a lot about how DID characters have been villainized or made to seem dangerous(ex. Split), what would you want to see in a DID character in a fantasy story?

What’s the best (most accurate) representation of mental illness you’ve seen on TV shows/Movies/Book?

Whether it's because we're trying to open up a dialogue with someone about the #LGBTQIA community or because we just deserve some representation damnit! We all want and need LGBT characters in shows movies and other forms of media
So
I am asking you to comment below #films and #Programs #Songs #Podcasts anything with LGBT representation

I am writing a script of a tv show for my friends (many of whom, like me, have disabilities) to cheer them up. It’s a superhero drama where many of the characters have disabilities. What sort of messages do you think are the most important to send with a piece like this? What are the parts of having a #Disability that you feel are most misrepresented on television? Even though this will probably never make it to television I want to give my friends the experience of seeing themselves represented, and represented accurately.
In case you need more information, some of the #Disabilities represented are:
#SpinalCordInjury, #Depression and #Anxiety, and severe #Jointpain but I hope to add others. I’m open to any suggestions; I just want to make my friends see themselves as heroes instead of “victims” or “background characters.”
