@ErgonWolf I'd be very careful in going into an in-patient #MentalHealth situation; Make sure that you discuss what is going to happen with the staff if at all possible *before* you go in, so you're not surprised by any element of the situation. What limitations are you going to be under, etc.? Will non-negotiable adaptive needs be met? When I went in, it was an emergency situation, and I didn't have time to find out these things in advance, which I think might have helped me handle them better.

I mean, this is funny.. but also I spent my therapy session last week talking about how I think WW3 has already started.. so...

Also finding a psychologist who deals with me as an Aboriginal person living under settler colonialism has been ground breaking for my mental health. Definitely recommend.

UK - Under-22s to be excluded from #incapacity benefits

by Mitchell Labiak, March 18, 2025

Excerpt:

'Trapped out of work'

"The reforms come as part of a wider push by Labour to cut spending by reducing the number of people on incapacity benefits, which is forecast to reach a record high by the end of the decade.

"Experts say the increase is due to a combination of worse #MentalHealth since the #pandemic and a higher retirement age meaning some are instead claiming incapacity benefits.

"#Starmer said he is 'not prepared to stand back and do nothing while millions of people – especially young people – who have potential to work and live independent lives, instead become trapped out of work and abandoned by the system'.

"However, #DisabilityRightsUK said that barring under-22s from claiming the health element of universal credit alongside the proposal to increase assessments 'mark dangerous cuts for all #disabled people'.

"The charity added that the package of reforms was 'not about supporting disabled people into work, but making brutal and reckless cuts'."

Evening, Twters.

Genuinely having a tough time of it. House hunting is not going well, though we've 3 more viewings lined up for tomorrow.

The news about #pip is terrifying - PIP makes up about 33% of my income so losing it will be devastating, and there's not a lot I can do about it as my condition fluctuates. I'm having a really tough day during a really tough time, and I'm about ready to crawl into bed and not emerge again til it's all better.

The darkest place you will ever spend time is in a mental hospital.

Or I suppose a "behavioral health" center now, to be more politically correct.

I've been to jail and I would rather go back there. There was more to do, the guards treated me with more respect than hospital staff did - who tended to speak to you like you're stupid - and I was randomly assaulted by inmates less than patients.

In fact I was NEVER assaulted in jail.

The food was better too.

All the usual suspects are suddenly experts in Mental Health, none of them are reflecting the reality, but it's easier to blame the Disabled that Tax The Rich, isn't it?
