The 'treatment' cannot fail, it can only be failed.

I don't think anything you said would rank highly on the annoyance scale of what he usually reads. ;) The ideas society has about independence are wrong a lot of the time, imo. Unless we're a self sufficient hermit we're dependant on a lot of things we don't really think about. A lot of time we...

I'm sorry you experienced that. :hug: All I've seen is abuse for him in comments on media sites. The reporting is terrible. I think the fact that they offered to push him to the exit of the airport was just the cherry on the cake for him. They had no temporary replacements suitable for him...

Another point, what the hell did they expect him to do after leaving the airport? "Sorry we left your only means of mobility 100's of miles away, but we offered you an uncomfortable chair with shopping trolley wheels to get you outside" is a pretty shite response. If they tied people's legs...

I think the important distinction he is making, is that he is capable of self propelling, and that it is his means of getting around. The indignity of him being pushed comes from the fact that he doesn't need to be, yet the choice was taken away from him. I think the point comes from the fact...

All types of websites use our illness to generate traffic and revenue. There is a way to reduce their reward for providing poor and or harmful information. To use, either go to the website and paste the link to the site there, https://donotlink.it/ , or add https://donotlink.it/ to the front...

The Guardian's, gonna Guardian. It's in the name, and in the very foundation of the paper. I wish more people knew of why the Guardian came into existence. Certainly not as a Guardian of ordinary people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian

I've known of people with ME to have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, social anxiety and agoraphobia. There is also the problem that it is hard to separate social anxiety from agoraphobia, and sometimes it is both. I would not be surprised if a feeling of not having the backing of...

It's very unusual in my experience in a UK context. I would say that it is a bit of a social taboo for anyone to announce how much they are donating to a charity. I'm not even sure how much my own family members donate, or even which charities they donate to, except in one instance where my...

Think there is a culture clash here in what is considered normal behaviour in charity donation.

Sorry to hear you were misled @MishaParker9456 , I was always given 7 tablets at most and warned about the addictive nature of zopiclone. Your feeling if wanting to crawl out of your skin sounds to me like Akathesia. I would talk to your doctor about this making sure to mention Akathesia if you...

I find it interesting that the SMC considers itself with the mainstream, as if it has nothing to do with creating and maintaining the very thing it considers itself inside of. Itself and the journalists it works with are part of the manufacturing of what is considered mainstream and what is...

I forgot to add it, but this seemed to me the most interesting finding This was the part that really struck me on original reading as being similar to our situation.

How symbolic of his messianic zeal.

I think people will be interested in this paper which shows a way of detecting and showing how citation bias can create unfounded authority. The parallels with the whole BPS network seem striking. I've often seen reference to how certain authors cite themselves. (emphasis added)...

To find an institution that doesn't suffer from this problem, It would probably be one that treated whistleblowers well. I'm honestly struggling to name one. My theory is that a whistleblower has found something wrong and felt it ethically important to highlight this. This is the type of...

For work, I used to visit a Mr Kipling, with a big Mr Kipling van parked on his drive. I liked to think that he had got sick of the glamour of the big city and was content to live in a modest semi in an obscure area of the country. While always wearing a white vest. Just sitting there, inventing...

Bristol Uni also has a problem with student suicides. The students are not happy with how the institution is being run. https://thebristolcable.org/2018/07/bristol-university-mental-health-suicide-students/

It's very important to point out that you must be able to do activities, repeatedly, reliably and safely for it to count. Always stress this fact when making social security claims.

I'm afraid to inform you that CBT the fetish, involves physical blows to the genital area. CBT the therapy does not. Apologies for corrupting your minds people.
