Being pushed to achieve perfection at school has serious ramifications... ...not least for my phone battery life. If I see anything lower than 80% I panic that I need to charge but doing so all the time dramatically reduces performance. There's a message in there somewhere!

Today... Life feels good. (And although saying that makes me feel uneasy for the inevitable drop in mood, it is still, in itself, something worth celebrating.)

So sick of the stigma surrounding 'personality disorders'. Uneducated people making spurious comments is killing people. As if we need more reason to feel suicidal. Angry Jo. 😡

Me: My symptoms are now really bad, I literally can't function when they're at their worst: Urology Consultant: Well the treatment is working because the symptoms are acceptable to us. ... 😭

One thing (of many) that I find problematic as an adult is the fact that it's frowned upon for you to scream "but it's not fair!!!" at the top of your lungs like you could, legitimately, as a child. Life is just as unfair in adulthood and I don't like just having to accept that!

My physical health has significantly declined recently & I have been feeling really down about how there's so much wrong with my body. Today I remembered this same body made a miraculous recovery from a suicide attempt related coma not many yrs ago. I need to cut it some slack.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired.

This!!! 100 times over, this!! ⬇️

I can't give details but I have achieved something absolutely HUGE this week. I am not one for self-congratulation / feeling proud of anything but I feel a spark of having achieved something with this. ☺️

How many people, like me, want to contribute to the #PIP consultation but are far too triggered by the news of the contents and reform suggestions to even think about doing so?? One way to bias the results...

My trauma itself was enough. My iatrogenic harm from MH services was enough. But now we're adding ongoing iatrogenic harm from physical health services too. Quite honestly? I am struggling to manage all this.

When is someone gonna invent the sport of putting the inserts back correctly into sports bras?? Could become olympic... 🥇
