PLEASE HELP ME ESCAPE!

Please #boost and share to other platforms.🙏I don’t have energy left (see below).

Seems I’m famous (and real!) and desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the articles below is me.

👉Last year:
thecanary.co/global/world-anal

Now things are worse, I’m much sicker, being neglected and will die without a safe stable #home. Doctor’s words.

If not mentioned in the article, my father is a diagnosed #narcissist with #psychopathic & #antisocial tendencies by a #psychiatrist. He urged me get away from my father asap because he is not a ‘safe person’ & neither are the other family members who lured me back through the promise of help.They didn’t help they made me progressively worse to the point of almost incapacitation at stage of #illness.

👉A year later:
thecanary.co/global/world-anal

I’ve tried every level of government, every service and they simply won’t help.

Are able help? Please ask people in real life if they have somewhere for me to go. Could they take me in (I can pay small rent)? A lot people have ‘big house, not enough money’ problem. I can help!

Is anybody an #advocate? I desperately need help.

I would be incredibly grateful for any help beyond words.🙏

Please read articles for full information.

Thank you for reading.

A conversation: someone describing all the ways in which #fibromyalgia changed their life, and someone else responding with a cheery "Have you tried giving up all #FODMAPs† yet?" My reply was as follows.

"A friend with fibromyalgia calls this the 'cucumber water' question, as in 'have you tried cucumber water?' Anyone with any #chronic #illness has most likely tried anything you're likely to suggest. Unless they ask you for ideas, sympathy and support are all you should offer."

That was as civil as I could possibly be, and probably more than they deserved. I think there's at least the *possibility* of getting through in this case, which is why I didn't immediately turn green and rip my shirt off.

But having observed in detail the effects of #fibro and other #chronic #diseases on the lives of people I love—

NO. DO NOT.

Abbott skewers Starmer on cuts

Keir #Starmer has been urged to stop referring to his plans to slash the benefits budget by billions as being “moral”

Mother of the House Diane Abbott told Starmer, “there is nothing moral” about taking an axe to social security net

“This is not about #morality, this is about the Treasury’s wish to balance the country’s books on the back of the most #vulnerable & #poor people in this society.”

Look, I’m a parent.

I can ‘t help but ask: why would you take your seriously ill child shopping at #Ikea, driving him around, curled up in your shopping cart, then propping him up on a couch?

This was two parents. Who needs to shop at Ikea that bad? The kid looked like he should be getting medIcal attention.

And, you subject everyone in that building to whatever illness he is suffering.
