Please read/amplify this super important report which expands on what Survivors have been saying for over 50 years now. ‘BPD’ as a construct is close to being toppled over. Help us push it over so all Survivors can access treatment and language that doesnt traumatise #TraumaNotPD
When Women support women we nurture a community that inspires, motivates & leads the way for positive change. Our Developing women in the community programme is doing just that and our ladies are increasing with confidence, vision & skills. #EmpoweringWomen
#IWD2022 The Goddess Aine took away the sovereignty of king Aillil when he attempted to rape her because he wasn't fit to rule. Survivors I have met seem to live in a world where we act like the truth petrifies and we can't look and see and do what's right
Over the last few months, myself and a number of other survivors have been putting together a manifesto asking for innovative #PTSD#complextrauma#CPTSD and #dissociation pathways. Launching later today over at @voiceofsurvivor
Please RT & help us spread the word! #TraumaNotPD

You don’t lack #resilience. You lack [supportive] systems and structures around you.'

Take 5 steps @publichealthni when I was unwell:
• Connect: trip to chemist to collect meds - daily dispensing
• Be active: getting out of bed
• Learn: brain offline on 20+ meds/deep depression
• Give: caring for my kids when I could see them
• Notice: life in shades of grey
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I can't access counselling
