[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

The safety net provided by NHS that's there for physical illness is not there for folks with #mentalhealth problems; it's like pre-NHS era.

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

I still have the socks 🧦😊

Though I haven't seen the friend for several years, since my health fell off a cliff

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

This evening I will be attempting to Pass For Normal in the swimming pool

Usually some intense physical exercise (which is a pretty low bar when you're out of shape) gives me a boost

Just got to try not to go Full-On Mental till it kicks in

I have pre-warned my friend 🤞

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

I just clicked on that hashtag (#TopTipsForMentals) to double check it didn't have any dodgy connotations

I found that the last (& only) time I used it was when talking about the incident I'm feeling mental about now

Funny how the brain works

#TopTipsForMentals:

Keep your fluids up when sobbing, or you'll feel even more shit 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@suzypuss @RITB_ Yes - lazy copying that becomes habit perhaps

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@suzypuss @RITB_ Yes - precisely because it's so bland (I don't aspire to be "pleasant") that I wondered if it's a warning by omission

[Stop Oxevision @StopOxevision]

These Trusts are particularly prolific users of Oxevision

[Stop Oxevision @StopOxevision]

We are trying to regularly update the table in this link if you would like specific information about which Trusts use the LIO Health/Oxevision technology and how

@suzypuss @RITB_ Is "pleasant" taught in medical school?

And what about someone who falls short of this standard - does it serve as a warning to others if the doctor leaves off the "pleasant"?

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@DrAnnieHickox @suzypuss I love a train ride, but the air in the carriages is filthy (and people seem to think nothing of coughing and sneezing into the air), so I always mask up 😷

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@sophiebip1982 @DrAnnieHickox @suzypuss Looks like the Le Pliage large tote bag (I have 2 large, and a small dupe), 20 years old so very scruffy but still holding up

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@SGV_UK Yeah, don't listen to me - I don't know anything about this - it's good news you're having follow up blood tests and seeing the psychiatrist - they've got (or should have) the expertise in managing these meds

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@SGV_UK Treatment for hypothyroidism (rather than stopping lithium) is the standard route afaik - and could help with your energy levels

Hopefully the psychiatrist can discuss this with you, as your current meds regime has kept you out of hospital for a while

[Wren @jaunty_aphorism]

@sophiebip1982 Same. Unfortunately she seems to lack any awareness of mental illness or mental healthcare outside of her own personal experience, and refuses to accept that her experience isn't universal. I blocked her a while ago for my own sanity but she's still showing up on my feed 😒

[Wren @jaunty_aphorism]

This has been all over my feed today.

I think we need to collectively stop giving this woman oxygen. She's incredibly unpleasant & feeds off our upset and interactions.. coming out with more and more harmful crap the more attention she gets.

Block block block.

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@DudeAdhd @newscientist He disagrees with Frith though.

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

And 8-24 hours after that I'll know whether it's safe to eat

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

I've got half a dozen jars of green tomato chutney 👩‍🍳

I'll know in about a month how tasty it is 😋

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

Slow cooker deployed for my first ever go at chutney - green tomato chutney, to use up the glut of tomatoes I brought in before the frosts

🤞

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

@MentalHealthCop Yes, for people who already have a wind-up radio, fine

But they're sold out, & they'll double in price

And modern ones are over-complex

And mechanically vulnerable

And there are better solutions for short term emergencies - like batteries, power banks, & portable solar panels

[Mental Health @Sectioned_]

No, you do NOT need to buy a wind-up radio.
