We survive to change the world for the better. That’s the ACTION I want to take. This #MHAW take action. (7/7)
Struggling with existence is the most human thing we can do. Madness & art both sit on the fringes of society. I turned to the arts to help me cope with a mind that doesn’t want to be tamed or fit in. Speaking at events like last week with @technicallyron.bsky.social is where I belong (6/7)
I’ve noticed a worrying trend recently - increased political polarisation has set us back in conversations about mental illness: increased stigma, misunderstanding & harmful stereotyping. “Othering” benefits those seeking to profit from division, fear & suspicion. Togetherness sets us free (5/7)
I experienced psychotic hallucinations when I was sectioned. I’ve tried to unalive myself. I’m very glad I wasn’t successful in those attempts - life didn’t get better but it got different. Recovery isn’t linear, Like every human, I aim to improve, learn & grow, mess up and then grow again. (4/7)
I was born with EDS - a physical condition of hypermobility. Research suggests this is linked to developing depression & anxiety. My struggle then led to coping with other behaviours that became secondary and tertiary mental illnesses like OCD, anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia. (3/7)
I was essentially expelled from private school (“uninvited to return” after my 1st voluntary hospitalisation despite straight A grades & good behaviour aside from the mental illness) In therapy since age 14, 15 mental illness diagnoses (common for people like me with CPTSD) & now AuDHD (2/7)
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 (11-17 May) The theme is “Action”. So let’s talk about it as my @thesparkdotcompany.bsky.social tee says TW: mental illness I was sectioned under the mental health act aged 17 due to anorexia, hospitalised 5 times for mental illness - read on for more (1/7)
