I have had a very hard time during this pandemic between fearing getting COVID and worrying about my family, especially my parents. My mother works in supply chain and thus is an essential worker and my father has a heart condition for which he is having surgery soon.

This has added to my already very bad anxiety and depression alongside my undiagnosed and untreated ADHD, which I was going to try and sort out but then the pandemic happened. I already have chronic pain and other chronic conditions that are expensive to manage.

So all of this has been particularly hard, because I was forced to get an extension on my PhD and had to go further into debt. I got a small stipend towards the end of my PhD but it was not enough to cover the living expenses I’ve had since September.

I have been active on Twitter and other online spaces because social media is the only feasible place for me to interact with those who aren’t my family/boyfriend.

It is frustrating then to be attacked for my activity on Twitter by a senior academic who is also very active on Twitter, as if it is okay to say or do whatever you want as long as you have tenure at a university.

He is claiming that his words are being distorted and that he is justified because I “doxxed” a sex worker. I did not dox anyone. I have never revealed the name or location of anyone for malicious means. I have never lied about him either, I have only ever shown his own words.pic.twitter.com/nDVIPgUpcL

These sorts of hateful comments are what I have to deal with. My GP agreed that I have ADHD based upon an assessment I had with her, but legally I must get a diagnosis from a psych before I can get an official dx.pic.twitter.com/nTZWXUQNJF

Replying to @AdmiralHip
That's vile beyond words. The smears of mental health are truly the tactic of the most worthless people. They clearly feel there will be no consequences no matter how hideous they behave. Good Gods. Just reading that makes me want to punch a hole in a wall. Pure abuse.
