I’m so proud of myself I bought some medication with the intention of overdosing on it but instead I opened my distraction box and sat using it for an hour and now the urge has passed.

So I live in a mental health care home, it’s given me so much independence since leaving inpatient. I get support with things I struggle with, and the staff here are loverly. This was 100% the right placement for me.

So there was a time when I was working (yes I’ve had jobs before) that I went private for my mental health and the support I received was some of the best support I’ve ever gotten. I was treated like a human being didn’t have long waiting lists and it was all around brilliant!

Can I just say it’s not okay to tell someone to “just get over it” when it comes to mental illness or chronic illness. Because to be honest with you is dam well disrespectful, ignorant, rude and a bunch other words I could use just don’t do it!

what I wish people understood about living with mental illness: - it doesn't just come and go - medication isn't always a choice - getting out of bed is hard - recovery isn't straight forward - therapy doesn't always help - somedays we may be fine others we may not be okay

Stop judging people for what they spend their pip on. Personally I rely on it for food as it’s the only money I have coming in. Yes I spend it on other things too but that’s my choice to make.
