Hope you don’t mind TCFC but I’ve adjusted the maladies for our Slop Queen.So many hospital visits!! Hopefully not wasting valuable NHS resources in search of online attention. What next? Unexpected Butterflies? Writer's Cramp?

I think this is why her mental health is so poor and why the narc rage went to 11 when these threads popped up. She’s led a pretty charmed life almost entirely on her terms, with a few trip ups (chief not letting her wear traaaaazers; Allegra telling her she likes tits; pater not simply giving her a portion of the property empire) being embellished as life-altering yet happily monetisable trauma. And barely questioned, with convenient labels of right-winger, homophobe, transphobe or misogynist to anyone who dared.It all suggests that her situation wasn't even close to as dire as she likes to suggest. She must spend every day utterly terrified that the truth is all going to come out.
I hate that I always disagree with her around recovery because I don’t want to be like a guard to it at all, just personally think perpetuating this myth of the functioning versus “non functioning” actually only serves to enable people’s denial. You can have a solidly aspirational middle class lifestyle and have a serious addiction problem that renders you miserable, is that really functioning? Is it all okay as long as you’re in a detached house like what does functioning mean? Such a small % of addicts will find themselves in a state where they cease to be able to execute any part of a normal life (eg work, house) that I think it keeps a lot of people who could benefit from recovery out of it.
