I’m not a particularly angry person. This is going to confuse the fuck out of everyone I went to group therapy with, cause one of my reasons for self harming for so long was because I didn’t know what to do with my anger. Therapy meant I sorted through

Oh, fuck the daily mail. I loath that rag. I have to buy the blessed thing every morning for my mum and she reads me snippets from it and believes its bile.

Life is tough for disabled folks and is going to get a lot tougher. If you have an invisible disability its even worse. We don't make enough bloody fuss, were too quiet so they can do what they want because they know we're very unlikely to fight back...sorry I'm in a mood.

Good luck with the washing up. {{{hugs}}}

The Daily Mail are FUCKWADS and shouldn't be allowed to print anything ever. I hate that paper. And I hate that so many people read that crap and mistake it for good journalism.

It's really not. It's just scaremongering bullshit.

You're not a scrounger. Nobody that knows you (even just via t'interwebs) would think that. Yes, there are people out there who play the system and don't give a shit, but you are not one of them.

Mental health is a tricky thing, because I'm pretty sure it would be easy to fake, IYKWIM. Easier than a physical illness or disability anyway. The state of mental health care in this country is pretty bad. There are exceptions, but mostly it's this garbage. "Get a grip/get over it". It's not helpful.
