Great news - well done to everyone who helped make this happen.

Frontline workers deserve more than applause.  It’s easy for politicians to stand on doorstep & clap - they urgently need to step up & deliver the pay rises, priority vaccinations & practical support so many workers are crying out for #ThunderclapForCarers https://t.co/QaE41wcYZA

@legopsychretire This piece has just brought back memories for my family... of spending a few hours in A&E whilst the local GP on call (that’s how A&E roll in parts of Devon) tried to retrieve it from my son’s nose. Just prior to his ADHD diagnosis. Now 20 and studying for MH nursing

@ianscott73 You can be in an alpha-wave state; a mediatative state (also pre-sleep). Although I don’t disagree with you!

@ianscott73 Does it say “Devon Rocks” on the back of it?

[Dr Helen Carter @DrHelenCarter1]

No recognition of the vulnerability here but particularly horrified that being being homeless and having to sleep rough is treated as acceptable for anyone!

[Nicola 💙 @nikpet1]

Tory-run Torbay council has told a young person with a personality disorder and other mental health issues that they should be able to cope living homeless, on the streets. This has come from charity Humanity Torbay

[Emma @scousepie]

I FOUND THE INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES LADS

[Talking About BPD @TalkingAboutBPD]

[tw self harm & suicide]

I wanted to share this in case it gives hope to anyone.

✨I used to self-harm most days
✨I was suicidal for years
✨I used to lie on the floor crying I was so distressed every day

None of these things are happening now.

Things can et better. #BPD
