I am most definately not a good authority to discuss what is/isn't menhera, but I feel the need to have a place to answer some questions due to the nature of the topic. I will link much better people to turn to.
What is Menhera?
FYMenhera did a much better job explaining than I ever could. They are
the OG for information relating to menhera.
Can I get involved if I'm not....
Yes.
Never believe you're "not sick enough" or that your struggles don't count.
Isn't this glorifying/promoting mental illness and self harm?
Absolutely the fuck not. The intent is self-expression, not hiding your struggles, and getting help.
Menheratic explains again
in their FAQ
and I would like to share a
good take by Hikidreams
Why no -kei?
Kei (系), contrary to popular belief in the west, doesn't mean "fashion" but "stereotype". Adding -kei makes it 100% derogitory and googling it gives back a lot of awful, very sexist, articles. Think "crazy ex-girlfriend".
As such, no -kei. Ever.
