I’m 33 and I’ve just managed to tap into the truths and pain of the emotions I felt I didn’t have during this time.

It’s funny, really, because whilst I worry it’s all a product of my health issues, I’m reassured because even if it wasn’t there before - it sure as hell is now.

Those who genuinely don't care what people think about them are sociopaths. More confident but normal people care about what only those people they respect think of them.

[Children Lawyer @childrenlawyer]

I decided to show ten-year-old her first law report and she told me that the first seven words of the judgment were plainly wrong. https://t.co/VUNgHJ1CMj

After all this serious stuff to deal with, it’s been nice to finally pick up a new Pokémon game and force myself to have a day off - gotta say I’ve found it wonderfully immersive, only just got to the academy’s door after nearly six hours of setting my own route all afternoon! 😂

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

It’s been very tempting to air a lot of dirty laundry, but I’ve kept myself civil and decent - which sadly can’t be said for others involved.

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

Gosh, after… a ‘long time’ of unnecessary delay (thanks, bureaucracy) I’ve finally fired off a complaint to the @oiahe this week.

I’m spending the rest of the year playing it by ear and not getting caught up in huge lists - can’t even remember when I last had a Christmas off.

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

Friendly reminder to all those awful bureaucrats along the way that I was already a bad omen if I turned up anywhere - long before the greys started coming in.

Thanks for the unnecessary pressure, harassment and discrimination - just to name a few kinds of despicable behaviour.

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

Between Long Covid and bad PTSD days, hard to remember doing much of recent DIY/repairs at all - but here we are a month later, and I’ve got the living room and hallway to a good standard, with the bedroom next on my shitlist. ;p

Beyond tired, close to a wreck, but going still!

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

As aching body, feeling tired and having a headache are added to list of Covid symptoms, all people over 35 immediately book a PCR test.

Big day for me, practically a second birthday at this point. :)

[Idle Courts @CourtsIdle]

It is probably only lawyers who follow this kind of thing, which is a shame, because in this judgment, the High Court appears to tell us that the Home Secretary has got her pants on fire.

[The CBA @TheCriminalBar]

"Unless and until there is substantial movement to meet our legitimate and reasonable demands, there will be no second ballot. History has taught us that pressure and resistance are the midwives of change and that it is our broad solidarity that gives us our strength."

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

Back to my DIY cocoon I go - too tempting to get swamped with everything going on!

Big love, keep safe everyone. 💜

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

With the amount of silence from certain bureaucrats, can be pretty certain I’ve joined one of the least popular social clubs alongside the likes of ‘whistleblower’ - that of “potential litigant”. 😂

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

@BootstrapCook Yes! Awful as it’s been, relieved to hear I’m not the only one hacking and generally unwell a few weeks later. (Had been convinced I was having yet another Long Covid flareup, but didn’t feel to tick all the boxes.)

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

PHEW! Guess that’s me done on here again for at least a day.

Keep safe friends, big love! 💜

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

Oy! Been 4-6 months since I said anything on here…

Let’s have a think…

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

Day two of being able to decorate after 12-18 months of health causing a stall;

Enjoying use of my Switch to help me remain mentally stimulated/prevent deconditioning;

Generally surviving, albeit living in a world of flashbacks and trauma episodes on top of the rest.

[Steven Mellor 🇪🇺🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 @Steven_Mellor]

@cassieweinstein Aye-aye, cap’n! 😂
