Open Letter to This Morning: “The truth about antidepressants – What you need to know?” madintheuk.com/2021/10/open-l…

Retweeting for myself to read properly as there is so much useful stuff and my brain cant be trusted to remember *any* of it! Thank you @piplincolne for starting and everyone for answering ❤

Can we please also have conversations about coming off meds *safely*? If I knew then what I know now I would never have started this poison #postyourpill #InformedConsent #prescribedharm #notpillshaming

Episode 7 broke me last night 💔. Deffo worth a watch.. can also highly recommend 'Empire of Pain' by Patrick Radden Keefe - one of the few books I've managed to read this year

Being prescribed a benzodiazepine, antidepressant or antipsychotic without a single mention of physical dependence, withdrawal or akathisia means that your prescriber is either incompetent or feels entitled to gamble with your life. I don't think this should be allowed.

Today is International ME/CFS Awareness Day! ME/CFS is a complex multisystem disease with a wide range of disabling symptoms. Factsheet: What you need to know about ME/CFS is available to download for free via the link below: meassociation.org.uk/1n2w #pwME #MECFS #MyalgicE

This ⬇️ 3 years missing; 90% housebound and unable to work but I'm actually one of the lucky ones #MillionsMissing #MECFS #MEAwarenessDay #WorldMEDay

If you’ve stopped or tried to stop taking an antidepressant then do fill out this survey. Cx

How #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis shrinks your world... Illustration by @KorneliaPaulsen #pwME #MillionsMissing #WorldMEDay #MEAwarenessDay

Millions of us are missing. You won’t see most of us. You won’t hear most of us. Could you imagine if you caught a virus and never recovered? Drs dismissed you are could offer no help. Family and friends couldn’t understand why you weren’t the old you any longer. #MEAwarenessDay

Sending love to everybody affected by ME/CFS. It’s a long-term condition with a wide range of symptoms. Unless somebody has this condition they don’t know how exhausting it can be. #MEAwarenessDay #MECFS #MECFSAwareness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome

Oldie but a goodie. #MEAwarenessDay #ExposeMENow

To everyone who has not lived with ME - please read this. Then pause. Then read it again. And have a good think about life with what is listed here. Let it sink in - and become respect and support for people for whom it is a daily reality. #MEAwarenessDay #MECFS

Feeling too rough today to do anything but RT. Solidarity and love to all today and everyday 💙🫂 #MEAwarenessDay #MEAwarenessDay2024

💜 On International Women's Day, we want to highlight how #MECFS disproportionately affects women by a ratio of approximately 4:1 Women are also more likely to have severe ME/CFS than men On #IWD25 it's important to recognise the unique challenges women with #MECFS face

404,000 pairs of shoes. One invisible illness.👟 This is what ME looks like in the UK: a sea of people lost to a disabling disease, their presence marked only by the shoes they can no longer wear. 🛌Yet there is still no effective care #MEAwarenessDay #MillionsMissing

Same sh*t, different year 💙🫂 #MEAwarenessDay #StillTheSaME
