I live with mental distress. Interested in alternative approaches outside the system and creating lived experience and peer support spaces. Harmed by critical psychiatry, mad survivor, forced to avoid services to prevent further harm.

This is what commitment looks like. The walk must continue — even when the road is hard. Peace isn’t passive — it’s walked. #WalkForPeace ##DefendersOfDemocracy
- I really don't know how to keep going. My life looks so bleak
- I honestly don't know how to do social group stuff. Is it just me? Has something changed in how to be in them or am I just really slow on the uptake? Serious question. I would like to feel belonging but am genuinely confused.

- Good news. Aloka the dog is the superstar
- Today I'm doing yet another thing which scares me beyond all measure. I'm hoping for good consequences rather than very shit ones but it's out of my control
- I actually can't cope with the news. I feel terrorised by it. Petrified of it coming here.
