There's a difference amongst suicide & suicidal. I think I'm getting very close to the edge. I'm seriously done with just about everything and I'm not too sure what I'm doing. I just feel misunderstood. I am frustrated and I don't know how to identify these other feelings but…

This is an astonishing waste of time and resources when the daily operation of the criminal justice system is in chaos.

Assaulting shop workers is already an offence. It is already punishable by up to 6 months’ imprisonment.

Indulgent, posturing nonsense.

My #pttwitter and #medtwitter colleagues, please see #BringMillieHome for an egregious example of how poorly people with myalgic encephalomyelitis #severeME are treated in our medical system. People who are suffering so greatly deserve our commitment to basic care and dignity.

The deliberate and cynical destruction of Sure Start stands out - against stiff competition - as one of the worst long-term policy decisions taken by a British government in recent decades.

Raising a disabled child already costs 3 times more — and because it’s tough to juggle work with caring, their families are at greater risk of poverty.

UK homecare resources are rationed beyond all practicality. Consequently the care that’s provided is often rushed and restricted to basic tasks that leaves everyone involved in care relationships feeling undervalued.

It should probably be national news and there should be action to fix it, without Feargal Sharkey having to go there

European ME Alliance 📢Important survey of >11k #pwME from around Europe. Over 70% with severe symptoms; half report a deteriorating illness; 3/4 receive little/no health care support; diagnosis takes 7y on average; pacing is helpful; GET/CBT negatively affect illness. European ME Alliance

Every Wednesday my husband cooks dinner for his dad and his mates, my kids genuinely love it and describe it as 'old people dinner'. Older people now talking less about the war and more about living in squats in 1960s Kings Cross. Kids are wide eyed!

Appreciate the LC folks who mention and don’t forget about pre-Covid M.E. sufferers who’ve been dealing with this hell for many years or even decades! 🛌

Those who did their best to deceive the world about #ME accuse those of us who tell the truth about #ME of being 'militant' 'activists' 'lazy' 'unstable' 'threatening' 'fanatical' etc
It takes courage to keep standing up for #pwME
Very grateful to everyone who supports us all💙

Love it.
Tories out.
