As a lifelong Chaplin fan, it was amazing to discover this absolute treasure trove of Chaplin memorabilia, housed at @the_cinema_museum (which also happens to be one of the old workhouses that Charlie was sent to as a boy) 🎥🎞️🎬 #charliechaplin #chaplin #cinemamuseum #cinema #thelittletramp taken in The Cinema Museum by @emmagreenwriter

Last October, I had the privilege of being able to visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York. To say it was an incredibly moving experience would be an understatement. As a 9-year-old child at the time, that day will forever be etched into my memory. 25 years on, we remember. 🕊️🇺🇸

“For somebody who desperately yearned for the approval and respect of their peers, I know being on the receiving end of bullying was completely soul-destroying. Any confidence or sociability I might have had as a child was completely eradicated by the time I got to secondary school. I spent most of my adolescence being on the receiving end of degrading treatment, for simply existing: I was shoved into doors and lockers, pinned down by my hair, slapped and punched in the face numerous times, had wood glue and Tipp-Ex thrown over me, my belongings stamped on and vandalised, pencils jabbed into my eye, and compasses slashed across my neck.

Everything about me seemed to be up for scrutiny and ridicule: my body, my weight, my hair, my teeth, my clothing, how I walked - even my surname. I had death threats made about my family and my pets. Outside of school, I still felt like I couldn’t escape – I would be hounded in the street, have stones thrown at me, and we even had our garden fence torn down and vandalised.

My survival strategy was to keep my head down and make myself as ‘invisible’ as possible, but it did little to protect me. Throw into the mix your other typical teenage experiences of crushes, heartbreaks and friendship fallouts (and probable undiagnosed AuDHD), and my teenage years became the perfect breeding ground for crippling mental illness, with the effects stretching far into adulthood”

An excerpt from my current article for @inspirethemind__ ( a publication by King’s College London’s (KCL’s) Institute of Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience) about my experiences of dealing with RSD and the long-standing trauma of bullying.
