This is the DWP the public need to understand. A Kafkaesque system of impossible to understand, contradictory rules which folk often innocently trip up on to which they receive a brutal, excessive response that plunges people into despair and poverty. The DWP needs to fix itself.

[Recovery in the Bin @RITB_]

DWP spent £50,000 trying to stop release of review into disabled man’s death, he starved to death.
This is how it is NOW

[Chocoholics anonymous 🍫 @SendThorntons]

2,000+ autistic and learning disabled people are locked away under the Mental Health Act. Detentions are rising. The new Mental Health Bill won’t fix this. Disabled people are demanding real change but the government refuses to meet. Pls support tomorrow: https://t.co/8sd9HAEFuU

[Thanks Cancer! @ThanksCancer]

Dear Cancer Muggles,

The existence of causality is not the great comfort you want it to be. “Everything happens for a reason”? Get outta here with that bullshit.

Benignly,
ThanksCancer

[lets heal and recover @recovery_your]

Things my mental illness sometimes stops me doing..

• picking up the phone
• leaving the house
• eating healthy
• exercising
• laughing
• doing my hair or makeup
• getting dressed

Sometimes being able to do one of these things is a victory.

Retweet if you understand

As a fellow CSE SURVIVOR today has seriously effected me

I urge any CSE survivor effected to reach out to trusted people or even a helpline/group for survivors

[Chocoholics anonymous 🍫 @SendThorntons]

@theonlyJLD @ClareHathaway1 Exactly. Why are visitors put above the person living there

When people enter ur home they enter ur safe space ,ur sons safe space

If anyone object to how my son is in his home they wouldn't get thru the door and im not just saying that, proffesionals and friends been refused

[Chocoholics anonymous 🍫 @SendThorntons]

@ClareHathaway1 My son is the same , he wears pjs unless goin out ,last minute changes b4 go out and immediately changes back when home

No visitors inc proffesional
trump my sons sensory needs in his own home tho. Why cant visitors to ur sons home accept his needs ,in his own home!?!

[Chocoholics anonymous 🍫 @SendThorntons]

@vicderbyshire As a fellow CSE SURVIVOR i am absolutely shaken by this , i don't believe she died by her own hands ,but if she did others still have her blood on their hands
