I've been writing a lot of poems & songs over the last few years & yesterday I wrote a song that I imagined Harry Styles would sing. 🤣🎶🧑🎤 I think I now just live in some sort of imaginary wonderland as reality is mostly 💩

When you feel you are sitting in limbo between living & not wanting to live & you can't seem to choose one. There's very little support in limbo land because services tend to wait and see which one you move towards. So you can be left in the limbo darkness & weary for sometime

Depression isn't always dark rooms, looking sad or crying endlessly. Sometimes it's getting up going to work or smiling around people & then coming home to sit quietly, doing little to nothing until you go to bed with suicidal intrusive thoughts throughout #depression #mentalhealth

I just feel the system lacks compassion, I know it’s horrendously underfunded but still. And knowledge about autism remains woeful

Why isn't there alternative support other than CBT, I've been offered it separately by different services for managing Mental health, ARFID, pain, tinnitus & managing my caring role... I'm definitely CBT'd out by this point & it hasn't really helped any of those things

This is important. Team writing re the link between lack of sleep, & autistic people taking their own lives from the despair of exhaustion.
This research desperately needs to happen, because there's so much we are getting wrong for autistic people.

Despite substantial evidence linking insomnia with increased suicidality in non-autistic populations, its role in autism remains under-explored. Poor sleep, most commonly insomnia symptoms (hereafter ...

The disparity between wealthy & poor people, I've never thought about it as much as I have recently. Like someone could spend the same amount of money in one day, on one item without it making a dent in their finances, that another person earns for the whole year

I've had enough, but I'm so torn between not wanting to cause problems and thinking fuck it all. So much for aftercare after a s3. Four years later it's still not sorted, services are discriminating more than ever and they seem to have given up even the pretence of trying to help.

More celebrities & wealthy people should support people directly rather than just pay into charities. So on that note any kind rich person who would like to sponsor me financially to retire early & live comfortably for the rest of my life please apply below 🤣 feel free to share #Anyone

Goodbye, 2024. You were a tough one of many, but I survived-barely. Here’s to pretending 2025 is going to be drastically different but realistically the only thing different is the calendar. Same me, same services same rubbish. #Bye2024 #HereWeGoAgain

New Year's Eve, that magical time, when I pretend I'm ready for another year of more adulting, fake smiles & positivity. Here's to getting through, and the hope that 2025 might just be the year everyone finally figures it all out... & there's some joy thrown in #Goodbye2024 #NewYearsEve

A clever government would see automation isn’t just taking jobs—it’s offering us a chance to rewrite what it means to live well. Imagine a world where we value creativity, care, and community over the grind. The future isn’t jobless—it’s workless and worthwhile.

At least it’s Friday.

I think services need more people to be honest about the service failure & system trauma they or their family have been through. We need to ask why some get invited to the professional table to share experiences & some do not #uncomfortable #Conversations #ListenDeeply
