@adamfare1996 This is upsetting as a child of an alcoholic who also received child benefit. It’s a complete insult that alcohol is more important than children. The Tory’s cut support for children of alcoholics, now this! Growing up under such stress is the reason I’m disabled as an adult

@CPTSDlogic I’m fully recovered. It was partly to do with getting meds right. Listening to how I feel and being gentle with myself when I’m struggling has helped the most. This is hard to learn to do but so worth it! You’re more than welcome to drop me a message if you ever need to ❤️

Could folk with physical disabilities and not mental illness PLEASE not collude with the idea that mental illness is not a disability.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

There are absolutely no perks to being chronically ill or disabled

The assumption is always that disabled people aren’t trying hard enough when in reality, we have to try harder than most.

[Erin Ekins (she/her) @QueerlyAutistic]

The failure to recognise that young people can also be disabled is a sinister intersection of ageism and ableism that we really need to talk about more.

If you’re disabled and rely on benefits—they hate you.

If you’re disabled and want to work—they still hate you.

They don’t care about disabled people reaching their goals or potential; they only care about cutting us off benefits.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

Disabled people aren’t your political football.

Both the Tories and Labour using us to score points while lives are on the line.

It’s disgusting.

If the government really want to make people's mental health better, they could start by making things less shit.

[Katie @LuxMeaMundiAM]

You know how the government has been pushing to be able to spy on benefit claimants’ bank accounts?

Well apparently, they can’t do that for the rich people.
They don’t even know how many billionaires pay tax…
But want disabled people to live on £6k 🙄

Kemi Badenoch claimed on expenses more than twice the amount I survive on in a year on disability benefits.

We pay their salaries AND their rent, bills, council tax… You’re expected to pay your bills from your wages.
She tells you disabled people cost too much.What about her?
