please think about the victims. Because there are loads. They want to be heard. And yes reserve judgement until you have seen it, but evidence has been gathered for years. For many of us who heard 1st & 2nd hand accounts - please listen

run this weekend be proud. You did it. Fuck reviews and audience numbers and industry RSPVs. You have improved as a performer over such a long run. You’ve been brave and you’ve shown up. Every night. You’ve been vulnerable. Congratulations. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Glad Meghan Markle has shared her

story. I hope it helps other women in a similar position know they are not alone. I have many friends who have described this 'unbearable grief' too & her interview helps me to understand their feelings. For support

Gosh you’re so right!! Thanks for the reminder Stefan!! I am 40 next year and and according to you, probably barren so will probably just go to Dignitas for my birthday!!! Phew!!!!
Piers Morgan has criticised celebrities who've shared their 'woe is me' stories of depression. If 1 post helps 1 person then that is 👍 A post I did on FB has resulted in 2 people telling me it's made them seek help. I'm not a celeb but who cares, if it helps it helps!
I sent this to the Voiceover Agency who dropped me with no notice (they claim an email was sent but there is no evidence). I found out by going on their website to see if my biog was up-to-date & discovering I had been removed.
I'm doing an

Honestly sick of being treated lik sh*t in this industry. Just feel regularly disrespected, overlooked, ignored and not good enough. Very close to quitting.
Anyone else having a slump again? Like feeling anxious, restless, useless... anything else ending with s? And any tips to help? Feel guilty when I don't write anything and just sit here worrying!
I've never spoken out about the emotional abuse I suffered in my 20s. My 'boyfriend' (abuser) charmed me for the the first 6 months then slowly turned on me. Chipped away inch my inch at my self esteem and sanity. 'Why didn't you leave?' is the response if I tell. Here's why:
@kelseyhuse30
Late 30s for me. Happened unexpectedly. I was already complete and didn’t need someone to ‘complete me.’ I’d travelled the world alone, lived alone, dined alone. Was and still am happy in own company. It was a beautiful added bonus for me and not a goal. Sending love to you 💜💜

Artists have paid £300-£400 to register and you didn’t think to tell us there is no app? An app really helps us sell tickets and for people to pick shows last minute. I am pretty appalled at this - why has this happened?
THANK YOU! to everyone who has retweeted this. Ironically I made it because I felt so fed up about feeling guilty for not doing 'enough'. Now I don't feel so guilty (but I'm hopefully NOT smug) 😂💜😂 Let's make

I donated blood for the first time today! As someone who faints or feels dizzy/anxious easily this was a challenge but the nurses were amazing and I got to eat loads of Oreos! Please sign up today if you are eligible. If I can do it, so can you!

WHY ARE LONDON COMMUTERS SO SELFISH??? Did you book 2 seats on the train? No? Then why don’t you LOOK UP AND MOVE YOUR FUCKING BAG when 100 people get on. Don’t huff when I ask you to move it. And turn your fucking music down, stop elbowing me and please wear deodorant. 🤬
He did it in tiny stages so after a year I thought everything was my fault. I deserved it. HE was right. He swooped in when I was at my most vulnerable. He broke me down. I built myself back up. It can happen to anyone. Now I see clearly it was

The briefing is making my blood boil. I know so many people who 'obeyed the rules' which had a huge emotional impact for many reasons (especially funerals). Why can't anyone IN THE BRIEFING ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION AND ADMIT IT WAS WRONG FOR HIM TO TRAVEL 250 MILES.

I just apologised to the dishwasher for accidentally opening it while it was still going. I slammed it shut, went red and mumbled sorry. It was like I'd caught it having sex

take that smug grin off your face. Stop patronising us. Yes we do understand what you read in the newspapers isn't always true.But the facts are that your government gave rules, we obeyed, & your colleagues think they're above this.Have respect. Read the room

Used to measure my year by jobs I’d done. This year been very quiet acting wise. But best thing I’ve done hands down is becoming a volunteer at a local food bank. Made amazing new friends and my mental health has improved. It’s vital for our community. Keep donating.

When you realise you've been dropped by your voicover agency because you notice you're no longer on their website. They claim an email was sent. NO. Not in my junk mail because I've received every single other email from them. Why not call me? 😭😭

To the woman who walked out of my show and put a few quid in the donation bucket and said to my face "you're not worth £20 yet" - I've finally thought of a response: "No you're right. I'm worth 50"

Hello drivers. Please think twice before beeping learners in front when they are being cautious at a roundabout or junction. Or waiting for a safe moment to pull out. It’s rude & makes us feel panicky. Do you remember when you were learning? Have a little patience & kindness.

so just sharing some thoughts. I've had waves of anxiety and depression since I was a teen. The biggest turning point for me was to accept the way I am & stop adding shame. Gratitude, acts of kindness & exercise also help me. What about you?🙏💜

Too excited to sleep because it's New Pub's Eve!!!
I am setting alarm for 5.30am, cracking open a bottle of Pinot as a warm up and working my way through a 5kg bag of penne (which I stockpiled in March) to line my stomach.

Whoever stole my wallet in Edinburgh today used my cards like this : £30 in Tesco, £19 in Pringles and £10 in a post office. How fucking boring is that? I feel quite insulted.
