Since 2017, almost everyone I know, and some people I don't, have been calling me for various types of help. This followed years of almost total isolation from 2014 to 2017, wherein I went through everything all at once in my late teens/early 20s, and had no one to call. I try to never turn anyone down because I know what it feels like to go through it alone, and I decided to never be the reason someone else felt alone and hopeless. It's hard, it's exhausting, it causes arguments, and it takes forever for people to listen, but it's entirely worth it to see them do better once it finally clicks.
What most of you don't know, is that I used to wallow in self-pity, sad about all the things that happened to me, unsure how to fix them myself. It was being introduced to the show
@bbcdoctorwho that got me out of my own head and open my eyes to the fact that I was not the only one suffering, and that I had the ability to help others until I eventually learned how to save myself. And ever since, I began using The TARDIS as my ringtone. Every time someone calls me, I think of The Doctor. I even met a majority of the Doctor Who cast and told them how the show influenced my life.
I've since lost track of the number of people I've helped. I've saved people from hurricanes, tornados, domestic violence, gun violence, lawsuits, identify theft, stalkers, thieves, and more. Here we are now, almost 10 years later, and the calls are still coming - but they are less than they were because people are learning how to do these things on their own.
There are people - real people - who are alive today because Netflix recommended this show to me in 2015. The fact that someone saw fit to take it out of production in a time the world needs it most is just heartbreaking. Truthfully I hope
@SWmoff has a few ideas, and that The Doctor will return soon.
But I guess until then, everyone can just keep calling me.
Today we’re announcing an update on plans for the future of Doctor Who. Read all about it on the Doctor Who website ➡️
