Pistachio ice cream and sesame peanuts. (I know I’m supposed to watch the salt and the sugar, I know , but just a little bowl? Forgive me, it’s Friday and Celebrity Traitors is on. Everything feels a little more forgivable when everyone’s busy betraying each other on TV.

Having multiple chronic illnesses is like falling down the stairs and finding out there are more stairs.

Your daily affirmation: It's ok to feel out of place. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to become the haunted horror at the center of a haunted world.

Can we please acknowledge that when someone keeps missing their appointments because of how unwell they feel , this, too, can be a quiet, unrecognized form of hurting oneself.

I hope this day finds you in whatever measure of ease you might claim. I took this photograph two days past, just as I stepped from my appointment at the CMHT. And mentally , how am I? “Unpredictable” that is the tune my days hum, sometimes faint, sometimes so clear it fills the room.

its not about what the triple lock means, its about once again disabled people only getting support if it means someone else loses out. It's making us the enemy again.

Im so closed off to the world right now that the demand to keep myself alive feels like a void that can’t even be reached for my body and mind just shares complete exhaustion , that physically doing something to achieve can’t even be done with effort. Yet , Some may say thats a good thing.

Entering a duty of care isn’t about offering a neat fix. It’s about showing up , forming a human connection that bears witness, keeps company with what’s hard, and holds the reality that needs to be held.

Today should not be about how steadily one can approach it, but rather about how one can take strides in gentle ways to keep trying without harsh obedience.

Hmm, so it’s not about giving a damn about mental health after all, & all about slashing welfare & getting people back to work. www.channel4.com/news/new-men...

New mental health hub ‘will get people back to work’, says Health Secretary Yvette Cooper
Despite a shortfall in NHS mental health doctors and nurses, the funds outlined again today are being used exclusively to establish these new premises.

I’m inventing a drinking game where you do a shot every time someone says their new mental health policy initiative is based on Trieste. Double if it’s unfunded.

How the fuck is it 2026 and mental health systems still acting shocked that neurodivergence is, like, a whole major plot twist in a person’s wellbeing? The audacity. The sheer administrative delusion.

I don’t need to be quizzed on what skills to use , that’s useless when I’m in survival mode. If you’re neurodivergent and the reasonable part of your brain has gone offline, asking you to deploy cognitive strategies just piles on overwhelm.

People-pleasing even to professionals is real, and it wounds. Mental health patients, and those with physical illness, bend and silence their truth just to be liked, to avoid rocking the boat. It’s a cruel,

I really don’t think I can participate in an online group right now without either becoming overwhelmed or falling asleep. But if I don’t accept this group, it will come down on me like a ton of bricks,

Yes, I headbang when I’m overwhelmed. The best thing to do is to leave me alone so I can self-soothe, rather than keep talking to me and expecting a response. Repeating questions and responses doesn’t calm my mind, it only makes everything feel louder.

No patient comes into presentation as “the worst patient” ie to work with. To go into that as a default statement in psychiatry especially is a red flag!

When intimate knowledge is used as weaponry, the consequence is not simply obedience but a hollowing out of agency , people begin to see themselves as the problem rather than recognize the imposed pattern.

They sell DBT and CBT like bright duct tape “Fix” stamped on a ribbon you can tie around a ribcage. But your nerves are an atlas of small, secret weather, old alarms that ring at certain songs, a jaw that remembers rain.

Offering me online group sessions for a CBT constructed exposure therapy for going out is “NOT” a appropriate OT intervention for someone with Trauma and Who is neurodivergent.

When disability happens to you, you won’t be able to just “try harder”. The social supports you think magically appear? They won’t show up. The medical system will let you down. Friends & family will abandon you. You will realize disability advocates were right all along.
