Psychiatry is oppressive af, let’s change it! (Schizotypal and autistic style of spicy). #recoveryinthebin #stopsim

Psychiatrist said to discharge home with crisis team support.

Crisis team said they won’t work with me as I’m always suicidal and that we need to speak to care co.

Care co unreachable.

Mental health assessment unit now want to send me home with no plan bc there’s no RMN

@HoppyPelican Not to mention the fact that they inadvertently teach you how to sh or unalive ‘better’- ‘oh don’t worry you don’t need IV today, you’d have to have taken at least x amount of y for that!’ (Subsequently I followed this advice) or “it’s superficial bc I can’t see any x”

I swear my entire life is taken up by sadmin! I have no idea how people with disabilities work and still have time to do all their hospital related stuff

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@bipocdnerdgirl You are a deeply valued person, don’t let your brain tell you otherwise!

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

It’s difficult to consider at what point do you stop going down the formal complaints pathway and instead start legal proceedings to facilitate life-saving change in your mental health trust?

Very difficult decision.

@trewvs It might be a good thing to try- it could be something of a fresh start

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@e_cdysis Can you try a blanket burrito? Like wrap yourself up in a comfy blanket and listen to some music/watch a fav tv show?

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@street_trashed Wow big congrats!!! Do you find that it’s any easier now than at the start? Or do you just think you’ve gotten used to the fight?

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

Went to Harry Potter world the other day. They have world renowned sets but I honestly took the most pictures of my butterbeer 😂 #WBTourLondon

@kitajxo That level of cuteness is mind blowing! Hope you still get lots of cuddles with them even though they’re not yours

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@cstroeckw I feel like the same sentiment will soon be shared for people with fnd

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@cstroeckw The fact that graded exercise was forced on us for years (and then they told us we weren’t trying to get better if it didn’t work) is infuriating

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@bipocdnerdgirl “I will have an absolutely awful time for my mental health!”

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@Azeem_Majeed I cannot imagine this! It sounds so time consuming! You guys definitely had it right when it came to university fees though!

[drtotoro-tobe @emeraldtotoro]

having worked across two acute psychiatric wards for female im sick of seeing every young women who comes through the door being labelled with #eupd - or been seen through that lense regardless of the situation. this is just ridiculous. eupd is being used as a dustbin label 🥲

@anxietyaloner @NoNonsenseND I’m the same! I think I had to be attuned to people because of how I was raised

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@PaulainaP @NoNonsenseND I wish I didn’t have problems with noises! I forgot my headphones today AND yesterday briefly and god you guys have super powers being able to cope in the world without them everyday!!!

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@NoShit_Watson @NoNonsenseND The lacking empathy thing is a myth I think. I feel like maybe we just show our empathy slightly differently and it’s actually the NTs not picking up on that!

[MaladaptiveMay @MaladaptiveMay]

@Amie_The_Runner Do they not realise that many people with mental health conditions also have stress and trauma-related physical health conditions too. Don’t we already die 15 years earlier? Is that not enough for them? Do they want us dying even earlier?
