Mentally Millennial🦋

Hiii🤍

My first post here so I’m going to #introduction myself & hopefully find my twitter moots too!

I talk about my daily life experiences w mental + chronic illnesses: depression, anxiety, BPD/EUPD, fibromyalgia, joint hypermobility, chronic fatigue, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dyslexia + IBS

I added you a while back

Sure! Sorry not been on here in ages!

Someone at the office at work found a flea

Happy Thursday!!!

(This is the second time this has happened btw and last time everyone had to work from home for a week whilst building was fumigated!!!

It was a VERY privileged take! They got very defensive and angry about my response lol

Well I dared comment on someone with 74k on twitter about how a reductionist take to depression cure is exercise x6 week and listening to music

And fuck me for saying it was a bit simplistic and being put on blast

Honestly I’m not hard enough for the internet v triggered rn

Sorry all x

Hope you all had a restful Sunday and the coming week is kind to you 💖💐

Thanks for always being here btw - I know I can’t a lot of rubbish & a bit unreliable (forgetful af) and very neurotic

I appreciate you as always even if I’m terrible at showing it consistently 🥹💗

In toxic and dysfunctional families, you're not allowed to discuss your feelings, talk about issues or concerns, or hold anyone accountable. Don't get this wrong. The TOXIC members can say what they want, tell you what they think and feel, speak their mind, take their anger out on you, and try to hold you accountable for everything, including things that aren't even your fault, but there are double standards for you. You will be given orders to STFU or else, dismissed, ignored, invalidated, minimized, and be told to move on, quit bringing it up, or to let it go, even when there's been no closure, no apologies, no accountability, and no change in their behavior. This is manipulation at its finest, and yes, it's emotional abuse.

My immediate family in a nutshell and what I went through behind closed doors for many years and only realised what was happening in 2024 at 31/2 years of age🫠

Thank you, sucks doesn’t it

The weird thing is we all get on so I don’t get it????

Stuff like THIS is reason I went to to the GP to get my mood stabilisers back despite them doing a referral letter in NOV 2024 and nothing happened cos ofc only psychiatrists can prescribe a mood stabiliser cos I’ve had such a break cos my new GP surgery has made every single med an issue!

The classic neurodivergent experience of not being invited/fitting in

Colleagues go for lunch together and ofc I’m never invited lol

Even since one of their promotions to higher grade they still go together it seems

lol I stg I am autistic & I guess I’m annoying/unlikeable

Thank you lovely x

Thank you 🥹😭

One thing at least is I haven’t felt and *looked* more myself in 5 years

So there’s that 🙌🏻

So at least I actually take pics of myself again for the longest time it got so bad I didn’t even like showing my face here or on profile pic so ye 🎉

Got word today that my #PIP claim was rejected at mandatory consideration stage.

I will now have to go to tribunal.

I applied in October 2024 for context.

I was expecting it as having #invisibleillnesses mean nothing to DWP.

Even terminally ill people struggle to get it tbf ig #disability

My friend noticed my progress on Sat night & chat I was SO HAPPY someone noticed!!!

I’ve put in a *lot* of work behind the scenes since January this year…

not only that I’ve changed my life quite drastically since a mostly horrendous & stressful 2024
1 day i’ll show you here 🥺🥰

I must say I do like Clemmie as a character on #Emmerdale

I still remember when she drew that picture of Millie 🤣😭 she’s such a diva 😂👏

And biting Joe is the cherry on top 😆 go on lass 😬

It’s not a competition

RIGHT?! Hate them!! I’m sorry this happens to you too 💐

Please interact if you see this tweet. Feels like the algorithm is against me lol

@ edia.seltenreich LET THEM TALK: Let them assume. Let them have opinions. Let them misunderstand. Let them twist your story to fit their version of you. Because here's the truth: no matter what you do, someone will have something to say. If you work hard — it's too much. If you rest — you're lazy. If you speak your truth — you're too much. If you stay quiet — you think you're better. So let them talk. Their opinions don't pay your bills or build your peace and you've got bigger things to focus on: your growth, your goals, your glow. You weren't born to ask for permission. You weren't made to shrink yourself so others feel comfortable. You're here to build a life that feels right to you, one rooted in peace, growth, and truth. Your life, your rules, your power.

The irony of MP's (who are claiming far more in benefits than their already generous wages) complaining about benefits being too expensive is not lost on anyone.

Except them.

Decided to take the gamble and get on with a few household tasks.

Feel a bit better than I did - sometimes not doing anything means I focus on my symptoms and don’t have enough distraction

But it’s always a gamble cos you can end up feeling worse or may pay for it later lol

Had a rough night and in pain.

Kept waking up in the night too hot which is unusual for me.

Gonna have to be gentle with myself to be able to go to work tomorrow.

So let’s hope I improve today 🥹😭
