Only Us

There is no 'them and us' - there's#OnlyUs. Whatever our mental health label, 4/4 of us are human beings. 'Come out' by wearing a badge :'-) [views my own]

@kaizoku_tenshi They’re so heavy well done with the scuttling!

I am not keen on Rishi Sunak today. “Arbeit Macht Frei” did not end well.

@slater_paul I’m thinking a film; Reservoir Cats.

@mud_and_stars For me, just slowing down and paying attention. So if I wipe down the draining board, then really look at it sparkling and take it in, feel satisfied, thank myself for doing something good. Feeding birds, watering plants, simple things.

@mud_and_stars @Louis_Tomlinson I had a nice dream too (and I LIKE hearing about other people’s dreams), I had shoes made of moss :)

@jessphillips Maybe they mean that under the Tories victims of domestic abuse can’t afford to leave?

[Recovery in the Bin @RITB_]

As survivors, service users, mad people, disabled people, we are targets for state violence, through the Health & Social Care systems, through the Benefits system. Our reactions to this, our ways of coping with this, should not be pathologised, medicalised.

@Rachel_Luby You have made a difference - hugely - and will continue to do so, whatever you do.X

[relational activism @relationalacts]

We are empathic beings who feel for each other. Our very success as a species is rooted in our ability to be aware of each other's needs, to notice each other's pain and to experience deeply felt physiological and emotional empathy.

Empathy is remembering that everybody has a story. Multiple stories. And remembering to make space to hear someone else’s story before immediately telling your own.

The Mental Health Act is 40 years old this week and we desperately need the UK government to update it.

But we can’t do it without you.

Today is our day of action. We need you to sign this petition and share it with everyone you know 👇

How many of us have to die for this to be different? So many of our peers lost due to systemic neglect & exclusion. Believe suicidal people. @TraumaPhDandMe was kind, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable & intelligent & was deserving of care & support. Another devastating loss
