📌 Pinning some common Twitter perceptions now I’m back! Just so I can ensure things are clear 🙂 🧵:
(I may add to this as I remember stuff or if I need to clear things up down the line!)
We’re living in increasingly uncertain times, and I know many Londoners are concerned by what’s taking place around the world.
My message to Londoners: this is your home, you are wanted here, and you help to make London what it is - the greatest city in the world.
I hate it when people in eating disorder recovery say “if I can recover so can you”. Recovery relies on a whole load of circumstances coming together. I personally got to where I am today because I have a strong support network, access to treatment, financial stability…
I should be used to not being cared about by someone who hasn’t cared about me for a long time… but it’s such a difficult feeling to sit with and navigate.

Loneliness has gotten to me tonight. I went to bed with a book but suddenly felt v anxious & had to get out of bed. Kept very busy, organised so many things, cleaned stuff & did some meditation. But I’m noticing a disconnect between my thoughts (there are few/quiet) & my body,
When I was on the psych ward, a mental health charity helped to save my life.
Today I’m celebrating the fact that, since then, I’ve now officially raised over £50,000 for them! 😃

hardest pill i’ve had to swallow this year was learning that no matter how good you can be to someone, no matter how long you’ve been there for them, no matter how much you love them... that they CAN & they WILL turn their back on you. and there is nothing you can do but move on.
How stupid do you have to be to sign a petition to call a general election 4 months after a general election. I mean that's MAGA level of stupidity or Reform UKKK level of stupidity.
