"This is not about wanting to die, but to be able to live the rest of my life with the peace and comfort of having choice. I have come to terms with the fact that my life has been shortened, and I do not fear death, but I do fear how I'll die.” @sophieRblake #letuschoose

The NHS is in crisis. We support extra investment to help turn it around, but without fixing social care, no amount of funding will solve the problem. I urge the Prime Minister to ensure the Spending Review finally delivers for social care and family carers.

Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love. Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

@MrsNickyClark What other biological health conditions can we reframe with therapy? At a time when the Mental Health system is dangerously close to collapse? Your menopause will be over by the time you get to see a CBT practitioner!

“Look let’s chat about those worries. Career over as you’re 50 ? Sandwich caring for elderly parents, in-laws & your disabled children ? Told by advertisers your wrinkles & grey hair are failure? Being the largest demographic of suicidal women? Oh honey you’re just OVER ANXIOUS”

CBT being offered to menopausal women to help their physical, biological symptoms-sometimes instead of HRT. I see. You can’t talk your way out of biological menopause so it seems a bit like “conversion therapy” for middle aged women who no one cares about. theguardian.com/society/2023/n…

If you can't get up at 3 am and microwave yourself a burrito, you are living in an institution. The burrito test is used by disability advocates to find out if a particular facility is an institution.

@hannahrosewoods Yep. The most toxic culture where the only retribution occurred after Brand and Ross upset another man. It’s depressing to know this was the backdrop our generation grew up against.

My dear Mum passed away at the weekend at the age of 90. She would not have made it without the support of social services, nhs and the orchards nursing home. There are some hopeful stories and my mum was one
