How can you be a "lead" for peer support and recovery and be on band 5? What other leadership roles are paid at band 5? I'd love to know.

I feel angry when people tell neurodivergent people ‘oh that happens to everyone’ or ‘everyone experiences that’, it goes without saying that neurotypical people experience some of the same stuff - but when you’re struggling to function it feels dismissive.

Really struck by the most common word used to describe me in 12 years of psychiatric notes is ‘pleasant’. It’s a very nice word but maybe a good indicator that I’m terrible at showing how I actually feel because I’m trying to put a front on at all times no matter how shit I feel.

What a birthday treat: going to @MousetrapLondon with someone who's never seen it before - and keeping the secret throughout!

I have written to @MayorofLondon calling on him to reconsider the rollout of ULEZ to Sutton. The poor public transport in Sutton, the limited scrappage scheme being offered, and the current Cost of Living crisis mean that too many will be disproportionately affected by the charge

My colleagues have been great about this - fully accepting of my limits. If only this were the norm.

It’s been a lot colder. Around 8c outside. I don’t feel the need to put the heating on yet. Lowest it’s got in my flat is 17c today. My TV is in my bedroom so I just get under my duvet to get warm.

9 years ago today we lost Dr Petre Jones to suicide.The most caring GP I have ever met. He set up @Projectsurgery1 & believed in personalised, compassionate care. He trained a generation of GPs as a VTS PD & he was the best friend I have ever had. I miss you Petre. #suicidegrief

Petre made a huge difference to my time living with/recovering from mental health issues and I still remember his wise words.

I feel full of anxiety today like I could meltdown easily. Started late yesterday evening. Feel scared of the world and don't know why. Going to just chill today. Some things can wait.

Feel a bit better with after watching TV in bed with my squidgy toy.
I think I need downtime doing nothing for a period. Even going to Church can be stressful. I like the service but they prefer you to have a tea after and a chat. They have intercepted me when I go to leave 😄.

I was just about to read my reading group book (deadline next weekend) but was wavering and your tweet has decided me. Karen Pirie it is 😀
That's strange, the hospital where I work is business as usual on Monday, including outpatient services. I thought the guidance to do this was from NHS England so would apply across the country.

.@bodycontrol can you email me the link for the first of 6 classes I've booked for tonight? 6pm start? I've had no response to my email and your voicemail says you close at 4.30pm.
The hardest thing about noisy neighbours is not knowing when it will end and when it will start back up. The feeling of dread when you see it's going to be warm weather as you know it will be loud music/garden party.

I've had a 'smart meter' since July last year & it has never worked. This is a real problem (for various reasons) but my supplier insists they can do nothing. I've complained, emailed the CEO (now resigned) & had nothing but the same response. Has anyone else has had the same?

The issue is that I can't access EV tariffs (or similar) which will get really painful with the price rises coming. Wondering if another supplier could be better, but am constantly warned against switching for reasons I don't really understand. And a new supplier may be no better

Which of Christie's books do you think deserves more attention? 🔍
We're huge Agathonians here at Whiteleystones booktique, and whilst we love the usual suspects (None/Orient/Nile), this complex, country house thriller is one of our favourites. Which lesser known Christie books would you like to see on our table? @agathachristie
