Alison,

That is a horrific image that was posted on FB.  I can't believe that nothing was done even after you notified FB.  It's interesting that those platforms (ie FB and IG) will remove and mark as inappropriate a picture of a woman breast feeding her child but not what you reported.

I was listening to a podcast where people who have diagnosed OCD talked about their experiences, shared parts of their daily lives that have been impacted by their OCD and talked about how hurtful it is when others casually say that they have OCD in a joking manner or label a behaviour that is clearly not OCD.

In the same way that "someone" got the media to stop saying drunk driving accident and call it a crash - as it was not an accident as someone got behind the wheel of the car after drinking, I feel as though we need that same kind of advocacy with media and tv/movie writers.  Mental health and addictions aren't fodder for comedy.  There have been some platforms that have done a decent job of demonstrating what the issues are without making a mockery of the person/character experiencing it.

Thanks for your comments Alison, I totally agree with you and I'm sad that you were subjected to such a terrible image on so many levels.
