The first rule of personality disorder club is you don’t talk about personality disorder club
Interesting experience lecturing today. Criticised for criticising the diagnosis of BPD by students hoping to enter Clinical Psychology. Apparently I was increasing stigma against it simply by talking about it. Sorry, that’s not how it works…

COUNTDOWN TO WINTERBOURNE DAY 2: 📈THE 152% SURGE The numbers the Government wants to ignore are staggering. Since 2015, the detention of autistic people without a learning disability has shot up by 152%. 🚨 This isn't progress; it's a crisis. While the Government stalls on Mental Health Act reforms, the system is actively expanding. They've added a "switch on" clause that holds our rights hostage until they fund community support—support they haven't even defined yet. 🔒 Their delay is our trauma. We are counting down to May 31st to demand the Government stop the surge and start the support. 🗣️ #StopTheSurge #AutismAdvocacy #MentalHealthAct #Winterbourne15 #NothingHasChanged

Not usually on here but when needs must
On May 31st, it will be 15 years since the Panorama documentary about the abuse at Winterbourne View. Yet, despite all the promises, reviews and reports, it seems as if nothing has changed since then. The human rights abuse continues and there is no accountability. Rightful Lives will be marking the 7 day countdown to the anniversary with a series of short videos with @AQuinnUnbroken. Alexis will talk about the situation we are all in now and what needs to happen for change. The first video will be on 25th May. #Winterbourne15 #HumanRights #NothingHasChanged @DanielHewittITV @Rebeccasmt @RachelSkyNews @ianbirrell @JayneMcCubbinTV @Saba_Salman @IzzyAldersonB

Enough of the bullshit, enough of the rhetoric, enough of the fiddling around the edges, enough of rearranging the deckchairs, enough of pointless commissions and even more pointless reports, enough of the lying, enough of the deceit, enough of the gaslighting, enough of the masquerade, enough of the pretending it's time for govt to get a grip, to show leadership, to show determination, to do the right thing, to act. It's time to put the water industry back into public ownership and the time to do that is now. But have they got the balls?!

Like sheep ..duty workers ..do you live with anyone any friends to talk to? (so I don’t have to) Don’t address the reason you call ( because that’s hard) Ask what your hobbies are (because that’s DBT and will save you) Show a general lack of interest (I hear it in your voice )

So after 14 glorious years I’m off Twitter. I’ve made friends lots whom I have met. I started up one of the first Tweetchats with a friend and I have learnt so much and I hope I’ve helped others along the way. I am over at Bluesky as my bio says .. It’s been a blast ☺️..

Even the banks are not happy with DWP plans to take money directly from people's accounts, rightly so given the depts own errors and siezure of money is trespassing on possession which is an issue in law. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj02… What say you? @johnpringdns @MartinSLewis

“The DWP told NatCen not to include any discussion of the figures showing how many ESA claimants had tried to take their own lives, or how many of them had had thoughts of suicide. And when @NatCen passed its completed report to DWP, there was no mention of those figures“. What!!
DWP blocked researchers from discussing ‘shocking’ data on ESA suicide attempts in ‘unique’ report #DWP #ESA #DeathsByWelfare @Shrink_at_Large @Dis_PPL_Protest disabilitynewsservice.com/dw…

FT Leeds United 2-0 Norwich City Junior Firpo take a bow. Really helped change the game. Leeds keep ticking them off at Elland Road. Back to the top of the table ahead of a really big one. #lufc

📢 Stigma around people in poverty, benefits and welfare is key to understanding why poverty is still deemed acceptable in a country as wealthy as the UK. Read our recent report on stigma below: jrf.org.uk/stigma-power-and-…

“It felt like this invisible person was following me. It became really frightening and I got really unwell. I didn't feel safe” We spoke to the BBC about why we are calling for an end to Oxevision, CCTV and similar systems in psychiatric ward bedrooms bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq8k…

I sold my share in a house in Florida two days after Trump was elected I’m not going back to America any time soon. I will be leaving Twitter soon too as my values definitely don’t align with Musk. I’m over on Bluesky
