Europe is on fire, meanwhile Kylie Jenner is taking 15 minute trips in her private jet. I could recycle everything, buy all my clothes second hand, compost and grow my own food for the rest of my life and it wouldnโ€™t even begin to offset the footprint from one of her flights.

Word of the day, just in case you need it, is โ€˜hurkle-durklingโ€™: 19th-century Scots for staying in bed long after you should have got up.

But which is it? You canโ€™t have it both ways dependent on when suits. The expertise brought by those with lived experience canโ€™t be cherry-picked when agreeable, and disregarded when uncomfortable; heard and responded to when easy, and fall on deaf ears when too challenging. 3/

What is sleep and where can I find it? ๐Ÿง 3 weeks of 2-4 hrs sleep max per night ๐Ÿ™ƒ Insomnia by Faithless keeps popping into my head; this isnโ€™t so great as whilst itโ€™s an absolute tune, itโ€™s actually making me want to grab a bev and party ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐ŸŽต๐Ÿ’ค

Beth sadly passed away a short time after posting this tweet. She tweeted that the injuries sheโ€™d sustained in a suicide attempt were the reason she felt suicidal now. Beth was such an inspiration to a lot of people; she did so much to raise awareness by sharing her journey. ๐Ÿ’”
I am struggling so so much. I canโ€™t eat, canโ€™t sleep, all I do is lie in bed crying. Iโ€™m so lost & broken. Iโ€™m sorry I havenโ€™t posted much recently & Iโ€™m sorry for being so negative. Iโ€™m just in a really really dark place right now & I canโ€™t see a way out.

New spring life & beautiful tulips (supposedly from Ruby & Eddie for Motherโ€™s Day, tho iโ€™m suspicious that in reality they had nothing to do with the purchaseโ€ฆ.) ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’•

Yes! Although I think the opportunity should always be available; it doesnโ€™t mean career progression should be a must.
Career progression is overrated. Why is there an expectation that everyone wants to progress, take on promotions, higher roles etc? Staying still & continuing the status quo is sometimes exactly whatโ€™s needed.

So very sad to hear about Bethโ€™s recent passing. Such a beautiful, warm and inspirational soul. I will miss seeing Beths honest and passionate posts. Thinking of Matt, family and close friends at this devastatingly difficult time ๐Ÿ’”
Itโ€™s ironic that the injuries I sustained from a suicide attempt (nerve damage, broken bones, parlayed bladder, paralysed bowel, paralysed foot, chronic pain etc) are the reason Iโ€™m now suicidal. Please, learn from me, learn from this. Let my mistake be your lesson.
