I'm beginning to think "trauma informed" is just a buzzword that middle class people use so they can ignore survivors/patients and pay themselves to pat each other on the back

Accepting that I'm often too dissociated to safely cook was hard. I feel gross and worry I'm finding excuses not to do things... But here's the thing: we haven't burned our hand in months. Surely that's something? Accepting disability, not pushing through, is hard :(

I love my seagull friends!! Today we found out one of them does not like grapes. They gave it a try then when we offered more just looked at us like "I see no food, where is the food?" like the grapes weren't even there

“It felt like this invisible person was following me. It became really frightening and I got really unwell. I didn't feel safe” We spoke to the BBC about why we are calling for an end to Oxevision, CCTV and similar systems in psychiatric ward bedrooms bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is super important - sometimes people aren't trying to criticize or nitpick but are just trying to help. I never would have believed shaping the nose wire of a bifold KN95 made so much difference in safety until I saw these numbers!

I am so angry at some of the press for literally rewriting lockdown history. Never saying immunity debt from lockdown is an unproven concept. Never mentioning that children do transmit and 10 million were orphaned from Covid and not mitigating schools. Never mentioning clinically

Every bit of help I manage to get will be so hard fought for, will leave me so much more messed up in the process, as to be barely worth it I'll keep fighting anyway. Not for me, but to beat a path for the survivors who come next, the ones lucky enough to live so long

It's not disempowering to say I'm broken. I'm broken because people broke me. Probably deliberately. They *did* this to me I'm "empowered" because I had to be, because I couldn't get anyone to help: we had to help ourselves. It's not this great thing, it's tiring & not a choice

Note to self: when diy EMDR sounds like a good idea... no, NO it isn't 😳 I would say "note to system" but they tried to warn me. This is all on me😳 10 mins video left me stuck for ages seeing memories & no way to stop. NOT trauma, I was lucky it could have gone so much worse

UK question: Has anyone here had their doctor do an Individual Funding Request for specialist DID therapy? (eg with CTAD) Our GP is going to make one, but I think he'll need our help to not screw it up, so we're looking for advice from people who've had successful applications!
