Middle aged late diagnosed autistic, with ADHD, CPTSD, PTSD, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, anxiety, depression. Passionate about equality and mental health
Today our crews, along with partner agencies and other emergency services, will be carrying out a training exercise near to the Queensgate area in Peterborough.
There will be lots of emergency vehicles in the area, but please don't be alarmed 🚒
Childhood trauma isn’t always obvious.
Sometimes it’s just…
• People-pleasing to avoid rejection
• Fearing abandonment in every relationship
• Struggling to trust love
• Believing you’re “too much”
• Silencing your needs to feel safe
It shows up in adulthood, quietly shaping everything.
You don’t have to be born disabled to become disabled. Only around 22% are.
One accident, one illness, one diagnosis - that’s all it takes.
The line between “them” and “us” is imaginary.
@UKEnterprise Have fallen unbelievably short of expectations and in fact even basic human decency this morning! Absolutely disgusted to be told by the manager of the Peterborough city centre branch that my autism makes him uncomfortable! So much for the autism acceptance and the equality act hey!
Any other hire companies that people can recommend who are @bvrla members ideally?

@AmazonHelp can someone please tell me how an order that has not been dispatched or shipped is unable to be cancelled? According to your own information provided within the app, an order can be cancelled as long as it hasn't entered the shipping process.
Just when you think Suella Braverman couldn’t say anything more moronic than: “Being homeless is a lifestyle choice”, she gifts us with this fresh slice of idiocy:
It's not a coincidence the most sensitive, empathic kids get shunted into the "scapegoat" role in toxic families & systems. Scapegoating mashes that "fawn" button in emotionally intelligent & sensitive humans-- & abusers & bullies instinctively understand this. Unfortunately.
She really is a disgusting excuse for a human being.
There is a tree somewhere creating the oxygen that she breathes. She should find it and apologise to it!
I'm sure they are great value. However I'm not sure if they are in @Morrisons stores only. As despite having no meat products in our "trolley" when attempting to add them, the app said "max quantity" and it wasn't possible to add them to the order.
If the offer is in store only, it's a real kick in the nuts (and discriminatory) to disabled customers who have to use home delivery as in store shopping is not possible for them. #shoppingonline #supermarkets #food #disability #offers #meat
Decision paralysis is a common trauma symptom that can make survivors feel stupid & "weak"-- but you need to know you're absolutely not the first, last, or only survivor to struggle w/ "simple" choices. There's neuropsychology behind it. It's not about intelligence or "will."
Because you CAN tolerate a tremendous amount of pain & bullsh*t-- as most trauma survivors can, due to long experience-- it doesn't mean you should have to...or that you should.
Trauma survivors are very often overwhelmingly empathic-- & that empathy very often includes our abusers. Of course it does.
But it's a game changer when our empathy-- which is one of our best qualities-- no longer interferes w/ setting boundaries & holding others accountable.
