“I’m shocked at the way women are basically ignored in terms of postnatal care. It’s all about the baby – important, but no one asks the mothers about their health, and particularly the injuries they suffer." Thank you, Wes Streeting independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…

Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD Only 4% of all #healthcare research funding is designated for women’s health issues. Of that 4%, only 1% is for research of health conditions outside of women’s cancers. So - yeah. It’s a huge problem.

C. S. Lewis, just to remind you what's important this weekend

🧵 "I used to walk the streets for hours, two and three in the morning, with small children... "Because the football was on and because England had lost. I knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as I walked through the door." #Euros2024 ⬇️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Final day of placement with another fantastic OT apprentice Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust I always love the opportunity to share why #perinatalmentalhealth is such a brilliant role for occupational therapy. Future students please note: I can (and will) talk about this stuff for days…

Still applies.. Sadly.

The misdiagnosis of autistic distress in the mental health system. A thread. 🧵 When I am asked why I wrote Girl Unmasked, I say that I was angry. Which is true...

Classic 1970s Activism Poster.

'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.' Nick Cave.

Please think more carefully & critically when approaching evidence based practice, occupational therapy and autism. There is so much more to think about. RCOT CYPF #CYPF24

1 in 4 women screens positive for a 'personality disorder' in young adulthood, yet this rate halves in later years. Attributing these profound difficulties to 'personality'—a supposedly lifelong trait—not only contradicts the data but reflects a misogynistic framing. #TraumaNotPD

This is going to sound wanky, but does anyone else have massive phone/text/message/mail anxiety? Need to do admin and reply to friends and the heart is predictably pounding. Everyday I promise myself ‘tomorrow’ and still I’m in avoidance. What is that all about?

Rejection sensitivity is central to ADHD, autism, and cPTSD. Mental health services rarely understand rejection sensitivity, which is why people in all three diagnostic categories are so often told there is something wrong with their personality. There isn’t. #HumanNotPD

Suicidal thoughts aren’t always I want to die. They’re also.. I feel trapped. I need a way out. I am a burden. What’s the point in life? I need to escape my thoughts. Nothing will ever get better. I see no future. I can’t bare this pain anymore. Am worthless. #SuicideAwareness
