Cropped the name cos it was very quickly deleted but. My parents ‘ALLOWED’ me to be sectioned for 3 months because neither one of them is a doctor. And they trusted what the doctors told them, why wouldn’t they? Isn’t that a doctors job? Don’t ever question my family’s actions. Why did your parents allow you to be in the mental home for
My parents drove an hour every day to visit me and stayed in that psychiatric ward waiting room in despair for days in a row when I refused to see them and didn’t know who they were. They watched me dying in front of their eyes completely helpless. My parents did nothing wrong
You think my mum wasn’t awake every single night trying to find some sort of answers and make some sort of sense of it? She was told BY PROFESSIONALS to go and work out why I’d had a mental breakdown and so she put all of her energy into that. Sorry but this has made me so cross.
I never go into anything below surface level of what happened on the internet because people are evil, but I will not have anyone even imply a thing about my parents. Who do you think help me rebuild my entire life, when the doctors didn’t give a single shit?

Hi buds. London coffee festival messaged me apologising on Instagram
I’ll text back in 3 days I think I’m tired atm lol no offence and only a bit bitter and all that but feeling the damage is done currently. Always room for progress and time for improvement but I am a bit drained with it now
It’s great that when we speak up together and unite as disabled people stuff does get done but it’s just still shit that in those situations in public when you don’t have the #NEISvoid besties who understand you to help out, people don’t care. Sigh. Love u all thank you

Ok talk time. I went to London coffee festival today. The brochure said ‘all levels are wheelchair accessible’. I was sent up stairs to enter (I have a paralysed lower leg and use mobility aids - I can just about manage stairs). Once inside I was in pain and needed to
use a lift - I couldn’t manage any more stairs. I am DISABLED and require accessibility. I asked 4 different people where the lift was. All of them passed me on to the next person. The final security guard laughed at me, pointed to the stairs and said
‘here you go, much quicker’. He could clearly see I had a walking stick and a leg brace but just laughed in my face and mocked me. I stood with a disgusted look on my face and spoke back to him - and all the others. For them to just legit offer me no solution at all

Since im cross today. @bumble why have you removed this photo from my account LOL? This is the fourth time you’ve removed my fully clothed pics from my profile? Hello? Do you want me to stay single? It’s been seven years guys Your photo was moderated vi...Lucy is stood in her french...
@bumble they’ve just informed me that ‘at least one of the photos on my account borderline violates the guidelines’ can you guess which one it could be? this so circles back to the issue we’ve been discussing here all day. If you are curvy, you’ll always be objectified ImageImageImageImage
Anyone who’s on bumble, I guarantee whilst your swiping you’ll have seen girls wearing crop tops, shorts, lace bodysuits, tie front tops etc - but those are all fine of course... but me fully clothed with cleavage? ABSOLUTELY NOT. NAKED. VIOLATION. Image

Today is the most important day of my year, #WorldEncephalitisDay 2021. #Red4WED

It may be hard to imagine if you are a newer follower that there was a time just a few years ago that I couldn’t walk, talk, read or write – and by just looking at my pictures on Instagram, you’d probably have no idea that(2/9)
I am living with an acquired brain injury which has completely altered the direction and path of my life. I choose to speak about Encephalitis wherever I can, because I know that despite the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of cases of the disease worldwide per year(3/9)
