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

I talked to my GP because of how much I was struggling. I am still struggling. I recommend reading what

No, because my GP who I talked to is in a different country as I am an international student in Ireland. I came back to Ireland after this, was planning on figuring it out but I didn’t get around to it before the pandemic.
