Dec 21 winter soltice: Celebrate our dark side?
This year I've decided to use the darkest day of the year - the Winter Solstice on Dec 21 - to celebrate my dark side. I spent my first 30 years holding in my dark side, followed by another 30 years learning to embrace my dark side. I've gone against the current in doing this as we live in a world that is often hell-bent…

Hey
I'm feeling so alone. I've had such a hard few years I feel like I've isolated myself and am now too frightened to be around anyone. My CPTSD makes me feel so different from everyone. I can never feel close to anyone as I can't share my experiences. Being open about them has always been a mistake. I see people around me…

Disabled person - it’s meaning too generalised today

Disability is talked about constantly, but severe and to a lesser extent any physical disability has increasingly been crowded out in practice. Access systems are overwhelmed, not because needs are wrong, but because very different forms of…

How some wealthy people have no common sense
I have just watched a lady's Tik Tok where she was showing viewers ger yearly handbag purchases.Obviously its entirely up to her what she spends her hard earned money on.But surely £1000 on this plastic bag with holes on just because it has a branded name tag on it is taking it WAY too far.It reminds me of the old story…

Plato & The Polite Dictatorship Of Democracy
Dear All, Plato once said democracy is a polite dictatorship. I was just wondering if people on this network have their own views about that statement and how it might apply and not apply to current UK society? I have a hard time with rules - obeying them, understanding and to a certain extent the very nature of them. What…
