The first rule of personality disorder club is you don’t talk about personality disorder club
Interesting experience lecturing today. Criticised for criticising the diagnosis of BPD by students hoping to enter Clinical Psychology. Apparently I was increasing stigma against it simply by talking about it. Sorry, that’s not how it works…

New suicide figures have been published by @ONS: 5,738 suicides were registered for England in 2025. 75% were in men. 1 in 65 men die by suicide. And in the details: a politically sensitive concern, a small encouragement & an important point no media have mentioned. Short 🧵

Please sign. Please share. Children should not be diagnosed with a personality disorder. We’re asking the RCPsych to stop using this label in children. Link below.

Suicide has many causes but there are often common factors: humiliation, a sense of injustice, of being trapped. I see people on here saying - harshly - that Jason Arday chose to end his life but suicide occurs when people feel they have no choices left. 1/8

For all that are working with people are you helping with I IT or I YOU ? It being the diagnosis and you being the person. I recently had the BPD label mentioned to me again I don’t want to be helped by people (I)seeing me through the lens of that IT in particular I’m a YOU

I work as a peer educator here in Houston. I think so much of recovering from whatever we've experienced is about finding community and caring, thoughtful, nonjudgmental relationships. #BPDChat

Thanks, Sue. I think that's an excellent topic. Since it's the last chat, I'd love to hear what people think and also love to hear from anyone who has been on the chat in the past and has thoughts about what the chat has meant to them. #BPDChat

It’s the last #BPDChat tonight so I’ll be on here for a bit 9pm For me it had its place as someone newly diagnosed many years ago when I started it with Hannah #RIP but now for me the label is defunct and I don’t identify with it anymore. It would be good to hear other opinions

COUNTDOWN TO WINTERBOURNE DAY 2: 📈THE 152% SURGE The numbers the Government wants to ignore are staggering. Since 2015, the detention of autistic people without a learning disability has shot up by 152%. 🚨 This isn't progress; it's a crisis. While the Government stalls on Mental Health Act reforms, the system is actively expanding. They've added a "switch on" clause that holds our rights hostage until they fund community support—support they haven't even defined yet. 🔒 Their delay is our trauma. We are counting down to May 31st to demand the Government stop the surge and start the support. 🗣️ #StopTheSurge #AutismAdvocacy #MentalHealthAct #Winterbourne15 #NothingHasChanged

Not usually on here but when needs must
On May 31st, it will be 15 years since the Panorama documentary about the abuse at Winterbourne View. Yet, despite all the promises, reviews and reports, it seems as if nothing has changed since then. The human rights abuse continues and there is no accountability. Rightful Lives will be marking the 7 day countdown to the anniversary with a series of short videos with @AQuinnUnbroken. Alexis will talk about the situation we are all in now and what needs to happen for change. The first video will be on 25th May. #Winterbourne15 #HumanRights #NothingHasChanged @DanielHewittITV @Rebeccasmt @RachelSkyNews @ianbirrell @JayneMcCubbinTV @Saba_Salman @IzzyAldersonB
