I am so so tired of awareness weeks. We don’t need awareness. We need shorter waiting lists. More funding. Compassionate mental health staff. Less judgement from medical staff. Early intervention. Access to treatment. We need better support from services.

In my mental health module @ uni ive learnt since 2011 NHS mental health trusts budgets have been cut by 8% per year since 2011. Tories came into power May 2010 meaning under the Tory government MH trusts have lost 72% funding. No wonder no of us can get the help we need, fuck

It’s wild how so many people don’t understand how grooming works. If an adult meets a child and waits until they are 18 to pursue a romantic and sexual relationship so that it’s legal it’s because they were attracted to them as a child but didnt want to be caught and go to prison

I don’t think people realise how hard it can be to just exist when you’re chronically suicidal. It’s exhausting and demanding and confusing. It takes up so much energy to not engage with the thoughts and urges. To make sure you are continuing with daily life despite the thoughts

I am tired of mental illness running my life and dictating what I can and cannot do. I want to make my own choices. I want to be free.

Polly from sigh FINALLY posted but to be quite honest I wish they hadn’t. Images 1-3 are from her ‘apology’ Image 4 shows my reply in the comments. I am disgusted, angry, upset and very ashamed to have ever interacted with her, bought her products and promoted them

self care isn’t always bath bombs and face masks, sometimes it’s brushing your teeth for the first time in months, or making that phone call you’ve been putting off, or simply lying in bed for a few hours to recharge, sometimes it’s mundane and boring but still very important

So I’m not the best at quick maths and I’ve just been told it’s actually 53% not 72%. Obviously because it would be 8% of the each years funding, not 8% times 9 years 🤦🏻‍♀️ anyway still a horrific amount of funding being cut, but just wanted to clarify that I got the maths wrong!!!

Just had my smear test. It went as okay as it could. The nurse was so kind, gentle and guided me through it all. I told her I have ptsd from sexual trauma. I had my teddy and prn. I didn’t cry or majorly panic this time. It was difficult but I managed!! I’m really proud ❤️
