There’s a time to say goodbye
It’s something I have known
My thoughts have whirled through here
I’ve grown from seeds sewn
This is a place I will always come to
It sparkles with gems of health
It fills me with a knowing glow
That truth of Mental Wealth

Mark unravels after sanctions: “The process left me feeling suicidal.”
Originally posted on Ann McGauran:
Mark Bothwell is now recovering from his sanctions trauma
According to Vox Political and the Disability News Service, the UK government seems to have become the first country to face a high-level inquiry by the United Nation’s Committee on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities (CRPD). The committee has the power to do this if it receives what it calls “reliable information of grave or systemic violations” of the rights of disabled people by a country signed up to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and its optional protocol.
The committee co...

Is it melancholy to think that a world that Robin Williams can’t live in must be broken? To tie this sad event to the overarching misery of our times?
– Russell Brand, comedian/actor
Like millions, I am sitting with the fact that one of the funniest people to grace the planet has died by his own hand. Robin Williams’ death has hit people of my generation, Generation X, especially hard. After all, his face flashed often across our childhood screens. Mork and Mindy episodes were a source of solace for me as a little girl, as I bounced around between foster homes and...

While living through schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s, I had to learn that it was not what happened to me that counted, but, how I dealt with each one of them.
i learned that my anger at schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s were destroying me, so, i learned to do something about it. There were times when I felt as if my heart had turned to stone and it was a long time before I gained the ability to laugh, to feel even th...

Universal Credit: Housing Benefit Claimants Told To Pay Rent A Month In Advance
Originally posted on UNEMPLOYED IN TYNE & WEAR:
Housing Associations have told tenants in receipt of Housing Benefit to pay their rent a month in advance, due to growing fears over Universal Credit.
Housing providers fear that tenants in receipt of Housing Benefit may default, or fall behind on their rent payments when they are transferred (moved) to Universal Credit, which is replacing six existing benefits and rolling them into one single monthly payment.
Housing Benefit is currently paid directly to social landlords in the majority of cases. Under the new Universal Credit system, housing support will be paid dire...

“I Was Glad When I Was Diagnosed With Autism”
Originally posted on Same Difference:
From yesterday’s Guardian:
Here’s a secret: I was glad when I was diagnosed with autism.
It’s not about wanting to be autistic. It’s about that moment of sharp relief, feeling vindicated, almost.
The diagnosis is a scrap of paper in the world that tells you: “This is not your fault. You are not lazy, you are not spoiled or incompetent, you are not simply difficult. Dropping out of school: not your fault. Extreme food restrictions: not your fault. Weird movements, easily overloaded, going mute when stressed: not your fault. Over-the-top obsessions, being an outsider, des...

Trauma and The Soul: A psycho-spiritual approach to human development and its interruption
Originally posted on Beyond Meds:
With beautifully synchronistic timing, yesterday, I just posted about Donald Kalsched‘s first book, The Inner World of Trauma. The Inner Life of Trauma was a most fundamentally important book for me and it seems many others. Today I found this lovely interview on a friend’s blog about his second book, Trauma and the Soul. Thank you too William Harryman at Integral Options Cafe for alerting me to this talk.

ONS provides new estimate for numbers of people on zero-hour contracts
Originally posted on alittleecon:
There have been a rash of data releases by various Government departments over the last week. I’ve put up blog posts already this week on housing benefit and universal credit stats, and here is another one, this time on zero-hours contracts (ZHCs).
Before I start, I should say that I have had a job where I was on a ZHC, and it worked very well for me. Whilst at university, I worked in a bar. I was required to commit to three shifts a week, including one at the weekend, but was not guaranteed to get any work. For me this was great because I was reasonably well liked by the management s...

It’s okay to ask for help. Yes, but what if there isn’t any?
Originally posted on Sectioned:
It’s okay to ask for help, as today’s Mind charity tweet says. However, it is NOT okay to have to ask again and again and still not get appropriate and timely help – or any help at all.
Thoughts exploring the theme of lack of actual help available for mental health problems, whether or not you’re able to ask.
My tweets part 1 and part 2
Some responses of the lovely twitter people
Some brilliant thoughts of Mark Brown (One in Four)
