Got 100% on my SafeMedicate exam at uni! Sorting out my own medication for the last 20 years means I've been training for this exam most of my life 🤣

Having spent the week feeling horrible and like a really bad person after seminars on professionalism and safeguarding brought up a lot of trauma from working at school, I am determined to be an amazing mental health nurse and prove people wrong 💪

Glastonbury is dangerous for my wallet!! AMAZING place though 💜✨️🌕

Exactly!! Recovery for me was acting opposite to everything the voice in my head was telling me to do! Hardest thing I have ever done but so worth it 💜

Happy Ace Week 2024!!!! ♠️💜🎂 #Asexual #AceWeek2024 #Asexuality

Happy Ace Week 2024 to all of our acespec friends out there! Remember, you are valid!! 💜

It's #AsexualAwarenessWeek! Asexual people deserve recognition. We deserve to be included in sex education in schools. We deserve protection under the Equality Act. We deserve to be protected from conversion therapy and hate crimes. We deserve to feel accepted. 💜 #AceWeek

Friday feels 😻

Went to the beach with my mum and it was really sunny. Mum wanted me to get an ice cream and I was anxious because I haven't had ice cream yet but I really wanted to try it so I got a vegan magnum. It was actually amazing and I can't believe I've eaten an ice cream on the beach!

I had the opposite problem- my autism diagnosis prevented me from being assessed for BPD for over ten years so I couldn't access support. It works both ways 😞

Our Metro piece is live! It took ages editing back and forth, and we had nothing to do with the title, which we think is great lol. Just hopes it helps somebody somewhere, and helps raise awareness of DID. Oh dear 😬😂🦄 metro.co.uk/2024/10/27/tol…

Uni is so rubbish and awkward. Feel like I'm forcing myself into people's groups 😞 I talk to people but they ignore me or answer in one word. I hate it so much. Makes me not want to be here but I need to be. Trying to focus on the work and not get upset but it's so hard! 😞

My brain is gaslighting me into believing I never had an eating disorder and I don't have any right to take part in eating disorder awareness or campaigning. It's hard when I've been at my set point for so long it feels like I've always been here. But maybe that's recovery?

I wish duty workers would actually listen to what you're saying instead of constantly suggesting things like 'listen to music' or mindfulness that won't work for fixations. She got frustrated and asked me what I wanted her to suggest when I just wanted someone to validate 😞

I'm really worried my friend is fed up with me messaging her about fixations 😞 her replies have been shorter than usual and she told me to call the Samaritans. I'm really worried I've upset her or I've been too much. But it's hard when my care co is off and CMHT won't listen 😞

I have a group at uni! A girl from my course invited me to sit with her and her friends because she said she'd noticed I was on my own and feeling left out, and I spent the morning with them. It was so, so nice to be included and they are so lovely. I am so, so grateful 💜
