Im so closed off to the world right now that the demand to keep myself alive feels like a void that can’t even be reached for my body and mind just shares complete exhaustion , that physically doing something to achieve can’t even be done with effort. Yet , Some may say thats a good thing.

Trying to avoid being admitted into hospital right now in regard to physical health. Mindset really can’t be doing with more triggers

Im exhausted to be and I am exhausted to stay.

Entering a duty of care isn’t about offering a neat fix. It’s about showing up , forming a human connection that bears witness, keeps company with what’s hard, and holds the reality that needs to be held.

Today should not be about how steadily one can approach it, but rather about how one can take strides in gentle ways to keep trying without harsh obedience.

How to get my attention: 1. Be a cat 2. Have a cat 3. Show me your cat 4. Tell me about your cat 5. Be obsessed with cats 6. Cat

Depression doesn’t come with a phase it comes with a reality.

Hmm, so it’s not about giving a damn about mental health after all, & all about slashing welfare & getting people back to work. www.channel4.com/news/new-men...

New mental health hub ‘will get people back to work’, says Health Secretary Yvette Cooper

Despite a shortfall in NHS mental health doctors and nurses, the funds outlined again today are being used exclusively to establish these new premises.

My favorite hobby is explaining my symptoms to people who don’t listen

Im so absent in myself that no fucks are given.

It took me more than 24 hours to work up the courage to send the text I had wanted to send to OT the day before. Tomorrow is the online group, and I am absolutely dreading the reaction and consequences of standing up and saying,

I would like it to rain to ease my brain , to hear the droplets in sound.

Sorry we missed you! Nobody was home so we left your gran in the bin x

I’m inventing a drinking game where you do a shot every time someone says their new mental health policy initiative is based on Trieste. Double if it’s unfunded.

"The simple fact is that mental health services haven’t kept pace with rising demand" Great to hear this from @andyburnham.bsky.social Today's announcement of new neighbourhood mental health centres is a positive step towards a more open access model of support www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

How the fuck is it 2026 and mental health systems still acting shocked that neurodivergence is, like, a whole major plot twist in a person’s wellbeing? The audacity. The sheer administrative delusion.

I don’t need to be quizzed on what skills to use , that’s useless when I’m in survival mode. If you’re neurodivergent and the reasonable part of your brain has gone offline, asking you to deploy cognitive strategies just piles on overwhelm.

People-pleasing even to professionals is real, and it wounds. Mental health patients, and those with physical illness, bend and silence their truth just to be liked, to avoid rocking the boat. It’s a cruel,

I really don’t think I can participate in an online group right now without either becoming overwhelmed or falling asleep. But if I don’t accept this group, it will come down on me like a ton of bricks,

Yes, I headbang when I’m overwhelmed. The best thing to do is to leave me alone so I can self-soothe, rather than keep talking to me and expecting a response. Repeating questions and responses doesn’t calm my mind, it only makes everything feel louder.

My body is very committed to the bit

No patient comes into presentation as “the worst patient” ie to work with. To go into that as a default statement in psychiatry especially is a red flag!

When intimate knowledge is used as weaponry, the consequence is not simply obedience but a hollowing out of agency , people begin to see themselves as the problem rather than recognize the imposed pattern.

They sell DBT and CBT like bright duct tape “Fix” stamped on a ribbon you can tie around a ribcage. But your nerves are an atlas of small, secret weather, old alarms that ring at certain songs, a jaw that remembers rain.

Offering me online group sessions for a CBT constructed exposure therapy for going out is “NOT” a appropriate OT intervention for someone with Trauma and Who is neurodivergent.

Really really trying to not fall apart

Im so mentally and physically tired that I don’t even have the motivation to even join together a “exit” physically and tactically.

Surviving on pure fumes, delusion, and a legally questionable amount of “I’m fine.”

Sorry but how is it August already? , like Im still here feeling like one is still at the beginning of the year and not currently at four months and 3 weeks until Christmas.
