Drowning not waving: Fight the stigma by providing the support

Another week, another batch of stories about mental health. Another week, another soul I consider a friend in trouble because of their mental health. Another week, another plea on social media for understanding as the damaged try to out run their demons. And another week when I feel helpless against this sea of pain. All the talk in Westminster and the media is about reduction of … Continue reading Drowning not waving: Fight the stigma by providing the support

UKIP That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore

Insomnia occasionally has its plus points but being awake late enough to hear the results of the Rochester and Strood by-election and Mark Reckless’ victory for UKIP isn’t one of them. How long can you lie there before you stop feeling grrrrrrrr? Not long enough it seems, because when I finally woke this morning the grrrrrrr continued as the news confirmed my country’s continued lurch to the right. … Continue reading UKIP That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore

Queenie and DJ Hollie Disco-Dolly do the SanFranDisco
