mental health awareness week being centred around movement is very odd to me considering most patients on mental health wards don’t even have the privilege of getting outside. or getting to access exercise in anyway. but i suppose that’s the bit we’re not supposed to talk about
isn’t it mental how the whole be kind and look out for others brigade at the start of this pandemic are now the ‘if vulnerable people need to die so i can get a pint then so be it 😂👍🏼👏🏼’ brigade
if rumours about bbc having a big announcement about the royal family are true, now’s our chance lads. i reckon scotland could sneak out the back door of the UK while it’s all happening n finally be independent x
i feel like cbt just doesn’t and won’t ever work for me even if it’s adapted because i have too much evidence that all of that bad stuff im worried about can/will/has already happened. there is no amount of worksheets that could convince me otherwise
@feelingsplain
omg this has made me so sad i’m just happy i got to spend christmas day with my granny i couldn’t care less if she got me nothing at all, poor woman :(
if you think disability discrimination in the workplace isn’t still rife i don’t know what to tell you. my sister lost her junior position because she had a psychiatry appointment for adhd on a workday. apparently it’s ‘dangerous’ she didn’t disclose her dx at the beginning 🙄
the one question i’d like to ask reform voters when it comes to immigrants is… is it all of the jobs they are stealing? or is it all of the benefits they’re claiming? because as far as i’m aware… you can’t do both
this also goes for engaging with content ‘creators’ who continually expose and breach the confidentiality of their disabled adult children. as parents you’re supposed to advocate for your child’s safety and well-being not exploit them for views.
this isn’t usually what i post on twitter but this is such an important message;
i’m BEGGING all of u to stop watching family youtube/tiktok channels. as an international advocate who fights for the rights & safety of children online, as someone who grew up with a mommy blogger+
she’s cancer free!!!!! the vet called and said the results are back and they got all of the tumour and all other tests have come back okay 🥹🥹🥹 my big girl is going to be okay!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
hitting your kids is the most wild concept to me. if an adult did something i didn’t like and i just smacked them to ‘teach them a lesson’ id be charged with assault. why’s it okay just because you birthed them? if you can’t parent without lifting your hands you shouldn’t be one.

@jordsjailacc
will you be removing the hitler tash come november and replace with a poppy? out of respect for your british native soldiers that died fighting the nazis? or are you fucking stupid?
@PerinatalBirder
i think people think getting an autism/adhd diagnosis is easier than it is, it’s not just a gp or psychiatry appointment there’s loads of questionnaires, in person assessment etc by multiple people! my LA only diagnoses approx 30% of the people they assess too.
@Drsafariboob
i get that they have a lot of crossover in symptoms but BPD has very clear cut diagnostic criteria, many of which don’t apply to lots of autistic people. given that lots of autistic traits are found in NT people i find that and BPD get confused
the anger some people are projecting at disabled/chronically ill folk simply because they themselves are bored of the pandemic is truly something else man. scunnered isn’t even the word anymore
why does this woman have such a vehement hatred for children it’s sooooo weird 😭 of course be child free that’s your choice but other people’s kids are still people deserving of respect - just small and still learning.
My dogs, both of them, are more important than your child.
And if your child charges either of them and I made your child cry because you don’t know how to parent, that’s on you.
If you parent your kids, this isn’t an issue.
@itselizabethbtw
yes i’ve always felt like the odd one out wether it was at school or uni or any work i’ve did. i feel the same way in my own family like im part of it but im different from everyone else
the way royalists are insisting that everyone be quiet about the fact prince andrew is a paedophile is so fucking bizarre this country is a literal hell hole
not in a suicidal way or anything but see genuinely, what’s the point in being alive in a world you so clearly were not built for and are literally unable to wrap your head round/deal with all the shit that comes with it
26° C is 78° F. It’s literally going to be cooler there than most of the United States.
“We don’t have AC! You don’t get it!”
Then get AC? You’re a first world country. I can’t take this seriously lol you are complaining about a “heat wave” of 78° F. Install AC then.
nobody speak to me about the ‘need’ for nicola sturgeon to resign while boris johnson, matt hancock and rishi sunak are cutting about still as if they’re not responsible for 120000 dead 👍🏼
rising from my death bed to reiterate that tommy robinson isn’t on a nice summer holiday with his family. he’s on the run from UK police. ok going back to bed to rest in peace now x
quick reminder when it comes to the kyle clifford case as i see some people speculate about his race… male violence against women is not a race problem, it’s a gender problem. hope this helps.
apparently following someone on this app *before* you knew what a horrible vile person they were is enough to have you accused of ‘supporting a predator’ these days. never mind the fact you don’t even know them and blocked the creep as soon as they were outed 😅
‘can i get your email address so i can send you your receipt’ no u fucking can’t please just give me a paper receipt so i can get the fuck out of here !!!
What is the most boomer complaint you have? Mine is I think people take their dogs too many places for my taste and also I think everyone should be more punctual.
i have been absolutely deed to the world recently, never felt so ill but so grateful to be growing this tiny human in my life, can’t wait to meet u in march bubba ♥️
omg when are you people going to stop posting pics of your literal dead relatives on soci media 😭😭😭 why have i just seen a picture of a dead woman in her coffin !!! are yous cracked in the head, if you want those pics for your own personal use then whatever but social media???
i don’t want to be pointing fingers at certain demographics but it does seem to be one particular group who have a hard time wrapping their head around the fact young people can be disabled too and it doesn’t have a particular ‘look’. disappointed to see this from jenny
Healthy young people please fucking stop sitting in priority seats on tubes and buses also don’t sit in the seats where the mums with buggies need to sit - and if I ask you to move so a v old man can sit down - don’t tell me to fuck off - you can fuck off - ok
buying a house in this political climate is near fucking impossible. unless ur wanting a one bedroom flat on the top floor and have no qualms about paying way over what it’s worth. i am desperate x
i spent so much time in hospital as a kid because of my chronic illness my attendance was <75%. i still achieved good grades and went to university all while being told this would never be possible for me because i ‘wasn’t in class enough’ so fuck this bullshit lmao
Fantastic visual example pointing out the link between attendance and attainment.
Very important that we get as many children in classrooms as possible!
it’s so terribly awful that the tragic loss of those three little girls has been overshadowed by these racist fucking animals with zero concern for anyone but themselves those children, their families, their teachers and their community deserves better.
or we could, and just hear me out for a sec, call a spade a spade and just say mental illness and work towards de-stigmatising it instead of bending over backwards to disguise our internalised ableism. just a thought x
women can’t even relax their bodies in public for a split second anymore without fucking incels having to pass comment on it. imagine giving a fuck about the shape of another persons body like what a weird thing to care about
is any1 else just permanently fucking shattered no matter how much sleep they get :) got a full 8 hours in last night n a still look and feel like a reanimated corpse
@motiblackart
yes it’s very much always being in the peripheral no matter how hard you try to fit in. or feeling like you’re always last to be thought of or that you wouldn’t mind not being invited because ‘i didn’t think it would be your thing’
i’m not american, i’m scottish but i’d just like to declare it’s all called juice. everything is juice apart from water and milk. fizzy juice, fruit juice, diluting juice. it’s all juice x
🧵 about the institutionalisation of autistic people and learning disabled people in scotland.
right now there are hundreds of people in scotland with autism or a learning disability living in hospital because there is no adequate accommodation/community care. at least 40 1/13
people will have sympathy for conditions like dementia or other neuro diseases and mental illness until their symptoms become apparent and undesirable and that’s when it runs out
i hope you all realise how stupid you fucking sound arguing that people who have a diagnosis of autism/adhd are ‘privileged’ for having a diagnosis while also arguing various reasons against getting a diagnosis for yourself because of discrimination lmfao make it make sense
yes technically i *could* cook myself a nutritious meal but i have a child free evening and also the choice to simply eat chocolate in bed so… im going to bed to eat chocolate x
my partners gran has had cancer five times. has had half a lung resected, part of her bowel resected, surgery on her face and countless rounds of radiotherapy and has worked through it all, while watching her daughter die from cancer, because she couldn’t afford to stop. fuck you
i’m so thankful for all the autistic folk i’ve met here since my diagnosis. i don’t know any other autistic adults in ‘real’ life so have always felt alone and isolated. the comfort in finding people like me and knowing i’m not the only one who feels the way i do is such a relief
@Moonbae222
you’d think at this point they’d just give it up but clearly their ego is bigger than i ever could’ve imagined. imagine being called out by your ‘inspiration’ and having the gall to tell them they don’t understand you 😭😭
@BirdLisey
i think it has its place as a treatment but i’ve had approximately 6 rounds of cbt - most of them long term and none of them have worked for me. they have been comprised mostly of worksheets and now im advised to ‘look at my worksheets’ when struggling
someone posted a pic of their baby that had passed away the other day too and it wasn’t even marked as sensitive content like ??? please ??? don’t ????
can some1 pls do me a favour and name literally any other disorder/condition other than autism where random people on the internet will accuse you of ‘gatekeeping’ your diagnosis? :) asking for myself before i go fucking insane x
one thing we should’ve kept from lockdown era was social distancing imo. strangers are too comfortable standing close to me in public. get the fuck away from me. respectfully x
we went to visit my wee brother today for his 7th birthday and he was non-verbal up until about a year/6 months ago. today we walked in and dan said ‘happy birthday buddy!’ to which austin replied ‘thank u, asshole!’ and it has truly made my entire life x
buying a house is stressful but trying to buy a house when u only have a few months to do so is another level. stuck a wee offer in on one today pray for me troops x
unsure if anyone has ever considered this but developmental disabilities aren’t quirky little fads for you to meme or make fucking merch of. especially when thousands of people with these disabilities are forced to live in institutions and such against their will 1/2
just a PSA to anyone out there who enjoys or relates to the good doctor/sam from atypical or sheldon that it’s absolutely okay and there is no ‘bad representation’ of autism. the people who say this are usually, i’ll say it, as both a late diagnosed and low/mod support needs-
Finding out a canonically autistic character I really liked and related to is not good rep according to a lot of autistic people is a little disheartening
this might be controversial but i’m going to say it anyway they should go back to taking some folks phones away in psych wards (as mine was when i was admitted) cause some of the shit folk post is … less than okay and honestly most likely perpetuating issues
autism acceptance month. i will accept that acceptance has begun once every child and adult has access to adequate supports, accommodation and education to live a life they choose and are are not locked in institutions for decades. and that’s only the beginning
this
#EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek
i am celebrating 6 years since i was discharged from the eating disorders inpatient unit. those were the hardest months of my life and never did i think i would find myself in the position i’m in now. it gets better troops 🥰
imagine your husband buying his late brothers wife a present on valentine’s day since it’s the first year his brother cannot and thinking this is anything other than the most kind, thoughtful gesture ever
My partner's brother passed away late last year and the wife phoned yesterday asking me to thank my partner for buying her a valentine present. I pretended to have known about it and she went on to tell me what it was and guess what ladies it’s the same present he bought
very interesting to me that there are people on this website who not only claim to have autism but also a masters in autism research yet completely stonewalls any autistic people who offer a different perspective or experience. feels more like pushing a personal agenda
wits the fucking deal with the state of the roads right now are the council on strike or something :))) why does every road look like it’s been struck w a missile
sorry i’m so over the self diagnosis ‘debate’. no one is saying you don’t have “insert condition here”, people are saying you can’t just read google and 100% confidently say that’s what you have without appropriate screening. 1/2
i’ve said it once, i’ve said it a million times and i’ll say it again. most of you people only care about ill mental health if it fits your narrative of what it’s supposed to look like and the behaviour is such that you seem acceptable. anything else is judged beyond compare
the hoops some people will jump through to demonise the word ‘disorder’ and attempt to prove autism isn’t a disability it’s just a difference is actually unbelievable. so blinded by their own internalised ableism they don’t see the irony in still claiming to be autistic
