𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲?

CBT? IAPT? Local mental health services?

𝙒𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙨… 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨… 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣?

And the first thing they ask you is:
“So why are you here today?”
“What do you want from us?”

Yeah?

𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐧𝐨.

🚩 Red flag. 🚩

𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳*𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀?

At The Hangry 1, we do things differently.

𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗼 “𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆.”

We give real help. From real people. With real lived experience.

So when your session starts?

We say:

“I know why you’re here.”

(𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀.
𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱.)

Then we ask the only question that matters:

“How can I help?”

𝗧𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲:

No, they don’t need your clipboard first.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝘁.

And maybe, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲, someone who’s been through their own s**t and isn’t afraid to say it out loud.

Vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s a f*cking healing superpower.

Acceptance is huge.

It is the first stage of everything.

Only when u realise and except the problems, can you then move forwards to challenge them.

It's huge. You are what you are, aceept that, try and embrace what's awsome and maybe try to change other things that bother.

But 1 thing at a time.

Learning to love and talk good to yourself is part of the next process.

It's difficult to embrace your awsome, when u barely function some days.

Undoing what 30 years of telling yourself your useless and can't do anything talk u told urself.

So embrace it all, but mostly don't worry about what u can't change.

And jsut know its gonna take timeeee.

They'll be good days even week and boom, 1 step,100 back.

Prepare for this the best way you can.

Have routines and stuff ready to make those periods, accept it's OK to loose a day or 3 in bed to recharge, but know a week will easily become months spirled out of into kaos.

So remember, u got this, timne to let your awsome light burn or shine...and ignore the fu*k tards.

So true, if tou have a disability good luck getting any help, it sucks.

Which his why The Hangry 1 was born..... let us lower the hoops to an accessible height.

I don't know how, as a society, it became the collective norm to expect those with the greatest difficulty in navigating systems to have to navigate the most complicated and convoluted systems.

And why are they having to do this? In order to try get help from the system they are struggling in.

It seems like an ironic collective punishment simply for simply having difficulties, disabilities or even just the need for help. I don't know why. I don't know how to change it. Maybe it cannot be changed until there is a will amongst those who don't require it to actually assist those that do.

But for now the only help or advice seems to be statements of 'what you need to do is just.....'. As if if we could 'just do that' we wouldn't actually be in need of the help we are asking for in the first place.

(This is obviously not limited to neurodivergents either. But I find it particularly frustrating that, given the likelihood of a neurodivergent child having a neurodivergent parent (or parents), often those navigating the system to get help for their child are those who also need support navigating the system meant to provide it.)

I honestly do not understand why the world is set up this way. Or maybe I do. I just do not want to have to consider the ignorance behind something that seems so cruel.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Simply this, remind yourself you are worthy. Your rejection is not a reflection of my worth.

Hi there. Welcome.

This space is raw.
It’s not polished.
It’s not wrapped in fake positivity.

What you’ll find here is real, often dark, always adult, but always honest and needs to be said...

We cover grief, homelessness, trauma, debt, mental health, survival, nutrition, neurodivergence, and recovery.

If you're sensitive to ANY of that, please take care of yourself when reading, this might not he the best page 4 you.

Get yourself off to Mind or Rethink Mental Illness if you are easily offended...

This won't be the space for everyone, and thats ok.

Fun fact =

There's no one size fits all support, despite what the "professionals" lead us to believe, addiction support, antidepressants and CBT are useless if your undiagnosed ND.

Soooooooo...

If you’ve been through it, you'll know you’ve landed somewhere real.

There’s no pressure to comment or share.
Just read, breathe, and know you're not alone.

We don’t do gaslighting here.
We don’t do pity.
We do truth. Healing. Rage. And rebuilds.

If you're still reading, you belong here.
