The story of SIM is largely the story of the BPD construct. As the Medact report highlights, most of the patients who were criminalized for being in desperate need were women labeled with this diagnosis. The BPD construct implies illness isn't legitimate enabling criminalisation.

#BabyReindeer was such a gut wrenching watch but also such necessary commentary. the non-linear healing after ab*se, the self hatred, putting yourself back in dangerous situations to in some ways relive and “regain control” over your autonomy
One thing I like about Baby Reindeer is the fact that it accurately depicts how complex the effects of abuse are. It’s such a mind fuck. The aftermath of being abused isn’t predictable. Some people expect survivors to report their abuse immediately, but it really isn’t that easy.
#BabyReindeer was excellent & deserves all the hype it’s getting. Not only do we seldomly see male victims depicted, but the exploration of how complex trauma is to your mind, perception, choices… Richard Gadd had a story to tell & to be so brutally honest about it…WOW!
Why is it that when you want help, they say you've got capacity, but when you don't want help, they say you lack capacity and detain you?
You’d expect a retentions team to offer you a better deal than what’s accessible already on the website but what do I know 🤷🏽♀️ @O2 Nothing like having to waste your day off work on life admin because companies are hellbent on making as much profit as possible in a cozzie livs.

@5_News @Ruth5News @TheChronicColab I have had it for 27 years. I don’t have ‘extreme tiredness’ I have this:

So instead of addressing the core roots of mental illness and disability, Rishi Sunak has decided to create a country where you’re forced to run yourself into the ground while sick for capitalism. That’s definitely going to improve people’s mental wellbeing. 👍🏼
Some ducks to break up the timeline from The Fucking Horrors chapter Sunak. Please join me in migrating to netflix instead of scrolling and spiralling.
"The misdiagnosis of personality disorders must end, as must the punitive and dangerous culture of care which comes alongside them. Fern felt very strongly about this" - statement from Fern's family #JusticeForFern #AutismNotPD #ActuallyAutistic tinyurl.com/3wk7ubr8
Our message to Rishi Sunak today
There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.
#GoPinkForFern #JusticeForFern Fern and her loved ones deserved so much better.

It was a moving day at the #dumpthescales march in London, organised by the relentlessly determined @HopeVirgo. There is so much pain, loss, and work to do to help people with eating disorders, but another way is possible. I was so glad to take part.
My solidarity with #dumpthescales protesters today. Everyone deserves treatment for disordered eating from first approach to a professional. Exclusion criteria based on weight/BMI, supposed 'personality disorder' or ongoing substance misuse kill. No-one is beyond help. Ever.
The story of SIM is largely the story of the BPD construct. As the Medact report highlights, most of the patients who were criminalized for being in desperate need were women labeled with this diagnosis. The BPD construct implies illness isn't legitimate enabling criminalisation.
NEW REPORT on SIM, 'Criminalising Distress', shows police are still embedded in mental health services, and other coercive, punitive practices continue, despite NHS England’s 2023 directive for them to be ‘eradicated’. #StopSIM medact.org/criminalising-…

#BabyReindeer was such a gut wrenching watch but also such necessary commentary. the non-linear healing after ab*se, the self hatred, putting yourself back in dangerous situations to in some ways relive and “regain control” over your autonomy
One thing I like about Baby Reindeer is the fact that it accurately depicts how complex the effects of abuse are. It’s such a mind fuck. The aftermath of being abused isn’t predictable. Some people expect survivors to report their abuse immediately, but it really isn’t that easy.
#BabyReindeer was excellent & deserves all the hype it’s getting. Not only do we seldomly see male victims depicted, but the exploration of how complex trauma is to your mind, perception, choices… Richard Gadd had a story to tell & to be so brutally honest about it…WOW!

Why is it that when you want help, they say you've got capacity, but when you don't want help, they say you lack capacity and detain you?
Academic/clinical naivety that describing it as severe and enduring would attract attention and care, when most of us who’ve lived with eating disorders for a long time could have told them that likely isn’t what will happen. More likely: off-listing, system hopelessness, neglect
This paper feels like a double insult. Can bulimia be long-standing and severe? Of course. Do “severe and enduring” diagnoses exist? No. researchsquare.com/article/rs-423…

Utter madness. Your role, @gmcuk, was to assess her fitness to practise. Is she a danger to patients? No. Meanwhile, you ignore the grave safety concerns of 1000s of doctors over PAs. Increasingly - & deeply ironically - the danger to patients looks like it’s coming from you 🤷♀️
