It was nice reading this rather than the constant deficit language. And these don’t mean autism isn’t a disability. But NT people deciding these behaviours are deficits is strange to me. If NT folk could be more accepting rather than othering autistic folk it would help.

I hate how anxiety is downplayed. I wish the disorders had a different name. When anxiety is a mh problem it is daily and is over nice things like meeting your best friends. It’s not the job interview or exam anxiety every now and then (which is valid). I want a new name for it

To be clear given Sunak's discourse today: Anxiety can be a mild condition. Anxiety can be a moderate mental health problem. Anxiety can be so severe one ends up in psychiatric hospital for a long time and are a high suicide risk. Anxiety as a signifier doesn't tell us much.

You’re the person who bullies autistic people. I have no time for this. Go fuck yourself. You clearly hate autistic people. I literally hate myself for anxiety that I am pretty sure autism exacerbates and people like you are the reason. Autistic people are not these things.

Stop bullying autistic people. I can see your transphobia too. I was dressed up in a fox onesie yest and cuddling my new Stitch pillow this morning. Autistic people don’t go by rules they think are silly like deciding what is childish or not. Like most don’t hate trans people

So I have cancer and can’t do the gym so this is ableist for a start. Secondly when I didn’t have cancer I did exercise daily and my anxiety was still unmanageable as I love exercise so why assume people are lazy? You’re educated now. Enjoy your weights without spreading stigma

There’s a person I know who’s response from crisis team when she said she was suicidal was “that’s a bit drastic” and she then ended her life. Words really matter to people in so much emotional pain. This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion. Suicide can be rational 🙁

Apparently unpopular opinion, but I really don’t think calling suicide irrational (or implying it) is at all helpful. Probably more helpful to try and really understand the reasons, the circumstances and the ‘why’ - both for on an individual and systematic level. That is all.

The problem with BPD or the even worse EUPD is that it’s given out without a second thought in uk services as a lazy diagnosis and used to deny care. It’s a diagnosis of exclusion too often and handed out even when it doesn’t make sense to the person. It’s very misogynistic

Day 16. Hair has started to fall out and I would go naked molerat forever if I never had a mouth as sore again. I can’t eat now. Can’t laugh or smile. Even water stings. Nothing works as bought all the mouth ulcer stuff. @HlyAnn_ sent me this biscuit and I love it 💜

Really sorry about my tweets today. I have had work contact. It’s like I’m a bit physically better and my brain then moves back to how worthless work made me feel. So arguing with a bully on twitter is distraction from my brain telling me I’m not enough. I’ll never be enough

So big pharma haters. Thank the heavens that I have all these anti emetics as I have emetophobia and 10 years plus of being plagued by nausea caused by anxiety. Oncologists take patients suffering seriously and try to mitigate it. Good psychiatrists do too.What’s the difference?

I’m sort of still off twitter and I will try to get to the lovely messages but so overwhelmed currently. Thank you to anyone asking about me. Made a little video of thanks with my new foxy Fuchs(German).

@wdpsychiatry It’s really just you. You know how much this tweet hurts. Why would anyone pretend? What advantages is having mental illness? There’s easier ways to score drugs if you think it’s that.

I’ve realised I get loud and really excited about things but have always been told off or looked at strangely. How do you unmask that in autism when no one likes it when you make a squealy noise and get really over excited when you’re really happy? I feel sad I can’t get excited

I’ve said it before…..you can’t DBT skill your way out of a crisis yet that’s the response if you phone a crisis team. However feeling heard can make a difference.

DBT seems to be about 50% therapy, 25% hero worship, and 25% gaslighting... Not a great fit for me.

Day 14. Lovely oral surgeon said my tongue damaged in op is ok. I am starting biphosphonates next week for years and removing teeth is a risk factor for a nasty side effect. she thinks I need a wisdom tooth out. I just can’t. I am terrified of dentists. I’m overwhelmed now

Positive Psych update as I know I moan but my psych is calming and warm. Very down to earth. Very easy to talk to. Plus having the team leader who I have never met there means she can understand me a bit better. I realise I am very fortunate. We talked of the triggers 1/

I’m proud of myself (while crying that my Cpn is too kind to me….I know I seem to be loosing it again a bit but I blame chemo) as I love cooking but can’t remember the last recipe I did. This is @jamieoliver Island salad with peaches, pickled cucumber, pitta and halloumi 😊

Mh pro greeting chemo patient crying on the floor: You can’t sit here as you’re in the way. District nurse to her patient sitting tired on floor: Are you ok? Can I help? MH pros in this country need retrained. My chemo side effects aren’t anxiety. I’m not attention seeking.

I am beyond terrified but I’m going to do chemo. Can’t decide whether I can cope with the optima trial. Thank god for nurses as my breast care nurse called me and she said they will do everything to support me. My gp was good as he’s quite decisive which sort of suits me.

Day 15. Feel absolutely horrendous. My whole mouth is on fire now plus my throat. Told my Cpn I don’t want to wake up tomorrow like this. I can’t even sleep it off as the pain on waking as my mouth dries out is horrific. But @HlyAnn_ the sweetest angel has sent me these.

I’m where I belong sitting beside my swans and babies. They trust me. Sounds like nothing but I earned it the 2 years off in pain. Cygnets are sleeping and cheeping I’m their sleep. Might stay here all night where I belong. #swans

This is exactly what R did and it isn’t enough for people with mental illness. She needed more and did nothing but reach out. We need more than helplines.

I’m still not doing very well replying to posts or DM’s as I get overwhelmed currently and am exhausted. Please don’t interpret a non reply as it not being appreciated. I do still try to at least hit like. I appreciate you all very much on my depressing account.

I’m sorry for those in crisis who I delayed getting help with my voicemails. I told CMHT I never want to speak to them ever again. I’m coming off twitter. Lifeline saved me from an attempt today but I will be going back till I get the nerve I don’t want to do more chemo anyway

This phrase needs to go in the bin. I am not anti psychiatry but this is coming from those who aren’t ok. It’s used now as toxic positivity when people just want to ignore you. It’s ok to hate feeling not ok and want it to change. Doesn’t sound as catchy. Tired of hearing it

Picc line in, ecg done, bloods done. Kind of tempted to get a purple wig! Cpn phoned and was a bit weird when I asked if she was annoyed about the song. She said she’s not but still no thanks. This is why it’s better to stay masked in autism for me as people don’t get me.

Day 7. My esa stopped start of April but I had been assessed before cancer. I sent them proof ages ago but been in a constant surgery recovery or crisis since then and their only reply was to say it had stopped. @macmillancancer phoned them today to chase up and I got an apology

Day 29. Terrible constipation. It’s like shards of glass. Chemo keeps giving. But I was well enough to go out to my sons display. Plus the northern lights outside the back of your house is pretty awesome.

@erin_bsn Fuck off with your grift. Lewis Capaldi is amazing and using him when he had supported proper research into Tourette’s in the uk and is on ssri’s currently. Your spray is nonsense.
