It's rare that James O'Brien and Nigel Farage are in the same room.
So when the Reform UK leader was leaving the LBC studios after his phone-in with Nick Ferrari,
@mrjamesob
delivered a one-of-a-kind handover.

Dr. Stea, I just wanted to say I militantly support what you do. It must be exhausting dealing with the constant attacks. I’ll do my best to start retweeting you more. I’m a stage 3

. Your work saves lives.🙏🥷🌴🔥
I needed this.

's phenomenal delivery of "Under Milk Wood" play on repeat, for probably 15 minutes!!!
It was incredible - soothing, inspirational, helped find some inner peace.
You should try it.

‘To hear Michael Sheen deliver Under Milk Wood is nothing short of theatrically seminal’ (⭐⭐⭐⭐, WhatsOnStage).
Dylan Thomas’ poetic masterpiece is now live in the National Theatre Collection 3, exclusively available on Drama Online:
New Post - Welcome to Post Traumatic Disordered Stress
“…it was a genuinely terrifying experince. I’d never experienced anything resembling an anxiety/panic attack, claustrophobia or any other

symptoms prior to what you’re about to read.”
A beautiful expression of unconditional love and generosity.

All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look

With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.

I think it's been 8 years since I have engaged with
#Twitter
. Since then I was diagnosed with Stage 3
#cancer
during
#Covid
. My treatment was rough, I almost died of renal failure. I was on life support for 3 or 4 days. There were so many serious complications.

If Black & Minority Ethnic NHS Staff concerns are being ignored by senior NHS leadership, imagine how voiceless Black & Minority Ethnic NHS patients’ complaints are & how so easily they can be dismissed by the same NHS leadership.
Im back home. Im ok.
Spent two nights in hospital. Was the best thing for me. The staff there are like family to me. Both my surgeon & therapist came in on their day off just to check up on me. I feel so grateful to have had them by my side the past 4 years.

Over 600 people died on island you could walk across in 15 minutes. There were no roads, or hospital. We had no emergency care or “First Responders” for 24 hours. I was involved in the first 3 helicopter evacuations. Uk Foreign Sectary Jack Straw visited to two girls I rescued.
OMG!!! This is comedy gold🤣🥷🌴
Unfortunately I am surrounded by expats where I live, that I clash with over this fucking nonsense. I avoided the lot of them during
#Covid
while I had

The cognitive dissonance with
#republicans
&

is off the fucking charts.

New Post - PTSD : The Trauma of Living with Trauma
"...my head just pounds. Then I notice the blood, it’s all over my pillow."
This post delves into the ongoing impact of
#trauma
&
#PTSD
, emphasizing the compounded difficulties over time.
I came close to dying several times on this ward during my
#cancer
treatment. Feels surreal being back. During the 2 yrs, no other patient spent more time admitted than me. So grateful to all the staff who never gave up & drove me to keep fighting even when I'd lost hope 🙏
Hello people! I wanted to share my new project with you.
The genesis of was triggered by the joy of receiving a clear CT scan result last Thursday.
Let me share the story behind my new mission. (1)

Imagine a survivor of an international terrorist attack such as the 2017 Manchester Bombing being denied a

I’ll be happy to educate you abt
#PTSD
& physiological impacts of experiencing extreme life & death trauma & then living daily with flashbacks of an apocalyptic nightmare, & how others belittle such experiences by trivializing the trauma as some sort funny drug binge with mates..
After the
#PTSD
treatment, things improved with in me. I had hope for the future despite things in my life being a mess. I could finally see a path forward.
I participated in the BBC The Why Factor PTSD podcast with

My speech.
Oh my days, another attendee filmed some of my speech. I just got sent this clip.
I was so nervous, I had no idea I would be asked to say anything. I couldn’t really remember what I said. Seeing it back feels a little weird but I’m relieved, I think it went alright
