@toniwriter Precisely because you are different and are so selfless and passionate about what you do that people want to speak with you. I hope you know you belong amongst those people.
@Shrink_at_Large I’m guessing you are saying and vocalising what so many are thinking and wishing they could say. Not everyone has the confidence or platform to do what you do 👏
@Shrink_at_Large Totally agree. If we go back to work when it’s not right for us, or where the environment/people was a contributor or where appropriate adjustments haven’t been made than we are looking at a recipe for disaster and possible inter generational consequences.
As a disabled person and a consultant clinical psychologist, I demand an end to the inhumane benefits system that makes people suicidal. We need a new politics of uplift, starting with stopping the divisive rhetoric between those in work and those not.

@JohnBishop100 Fabulous. Love the value you attribute to someone of so many years. But very funny to recognise that an older persons remaining years imply a greater value.
@chinnychick Absolutely agree. I’m 3 months into making my bed as soon as I get up each day. My ADHD had led me to a point I struggled to retain or form habits. Making the bed each day is a pathway to finding my old self. It works. It absolutely does.
@toniwriter Birthdays should be done however much or little you want. Time we stopped putting our expectations and traditions onto others and listen to what they want.
@toniwriter Which is awful for the people who want to work and pull a huge effort to get some income but can’t do a 37 hour week or a job that pays enough to not need support. When will they wake up to the real needs of the people they think of as scroungers.
@toniwriter Sadly it won’t ever suit the government narrative to help the marginalised. They prefer to pander to the masses who think it’s still outrageous that you can have a ‘flat screen tv’. By creating a culture that keeps the marginalised that way they hope to win votes.
@toniwriter Every day you continue to impress me Toni. You’ve had such lows yet you continue despite the struggle. Growth will come. You deserve the peace that will come with it.
@chinnychick It takes strength and courage to do what you will be doing. You will be there supporting everyone past and present wherever you are. Thank you for talking about your mental health so honestly. Take all the time you need. Nothing to feel guilty about.
@Nodd59@toniwriter Please don’t talk to Toni or anyone else like this. She’s so busy saving men’s lives and what you’ll excuse as banter is so unwelcome.
Be kind to yourself & learn to effectively switch from bad to good habits. Go easy on yourself when lapses occur & prevent them turning into relapses.
The Kindness Method helps you see why you’ll want to stick to your goals & gives you the tools to get through the tough times.
