Dear younger me:

Image
~To younger me, I'm sorry I ever doubted you, this is the life meant for you, you should have always chased your dreams.~ IMDb.me/SarahWingfield 🎬 I want to take the time to say a huge thank you to everyone who has uplifted me, supported me, saw me at my worst, still see me during pain flare ups and as I fight my body, pushed me, believed in me and I hope, truly, that I can inspire others to never quit on their dreams and aspirations.  To inspire people to always face obstacles head on, even when those obstacles are their own body, and I hope that other disabled people can see their worth and are aware of their qualities and skills, even if most of the world overlooks us. Stand in your own light and never be afraid to shine. When I first broke out of my bedbound and housebound situation, not all that long ago in 2021, I never thought I'd ever be in the position I am now; actioning positive change, helping others, studying and bettering myself and achieving, what are big things...

I'm proud of me:

Image
  No one likes someone who can see through their facade. They gang up to discredit them because they're a threat to their fake reputations. They can stay scared of the truth, I'll never apologise for being authentic and I'll always avoid unsafe spaces. Stay authentic and keep being someone who prioritises safeguarding over petty peer pressure and clique-politics. 💯 I'm proud I'm hated by those I am hated by, they earned their place with their BS. 😘❤️ I hate no one. I sometimes hate how people choose to behave but as long as they stay out of my lane and away from me and stop sabotaging or interfering then I'm golden!  Even when they hate and ostracise, it just pushes me to be more driven anyway, I channel negativity and turn it into something positive, tangible, even if it's simply determination to use to go after my goals harder. I'm proud of me. 💯💪🏻❤️☺️✨ Sarah Wingfield ✨

Happy Mother's Day 💐

Happy Mother's Day! ❤️  We started by losing an hour for day light savings and I've had a bad pain flare last night and managed to get through filming and I'm now resting in bed for the next few days. Had a lovely time with my son yesterday and my partner as we gamed and then watched movies. My son got me a wonderful card and some wine and I dropped my mam's gifts off yesterday. I hope everyone in the UK have had a wonderful mother's day and I'm so amazed by my son every single day. So grateful and thankful to be a mother, when I was told at a young age I wouldn't be. He is my miracle and I'm so proud of him and of the man he's becoming! I'm being targeted again by Instagram as they are censoring and removing my content under the false label 'inauthentic behaviour' and now I am at risk of losing my second TikTok because they're not plus size friendly. The world's getting worse every single day and we can't change or stop it. M...

Reloaded 3 Movie - Filming:

  Just finished filming for Reloaded 3, as Lucy.

The nation is shaken:

Image
 ❤️‍🔥 To all my disabled friends being targeted by ignorant people off the back of the government, their idiocy is not your fault, I hope you still see and accept your worth in the face of the negativity, hate and attacks happening right now. It's not long ago a friend of mine got targeted in the street due to her disability, we aren't safe but we were never safe and we've fought so far so we can't quit. It's not our fault people choose negative energy instead of using their voice to action positive change, they can't see we are all in the same boat and by targeting us they're drowning themselves. People no longer listen to reason or logic, hating and dictating has become the norm. Just know you are not alone, I've heard and care deeply about what is going on and the stress and anxiety my disabled community and friends are experiencing right now and you are not alone and never will be. We are in this together and we are the only ones trying to save us A...

Darlington Disability Rights Protest:

Image
Today I was amazed at the turn out, I'm gathering all the content from today and will update my blog in a separate post to this one. It was fantastic to see everyone come together to speak out about what's happening with the disability cuts and share their personal stories! Protests were also in London, Newcastle and other areas and today we all united to ensure that we, the disabled got heard. Here is the initial video I've shared on TikTok and YouTube and the rest of the protest pictures and content will follow once I've put it all together. Thank you to my friend Julie today and to everyone who supported our rights and spoke out against the ludicrous proposals the government have proposed. It will only cost the country more in the long run and attacking the poor, working and the disabled won't actually help our country or it's residents. 🚫 No If's But's OR Cuts! 🚫 Sarah Wingfield 🙌🏻 #welfarenotwarfare #disabilityawareness #disabilitybenefits #Cuts...

IMDb.me/SarahWingfield 🎥❤️✨  I am so excited to announce that I play Lucy in the movie 'Reloaded 3' (learning lines and prep as filming it this month for George Tounas) and I play Laura Whitmore (murder victim in Mike Davies movie 'The Veil of Silence') which will be filmed next year!  I'm proud to announce I'm also an assistant producer of 'The Veil of Silence' and I am super excited to be killed by David J.

Triggered:

Image
Got triggered today because a specific support organisation is branching out despite the fact they lied to the police about me and then I was harassed by a founding member afterwards. Seeing their posts makes me angry because I can't warn or protect others and I never condone hate campaigns, violence, bullying or ostracising and I definitely don't condone lying to the police and I have never lied to the police or harmed anyone. I could prove that in a court of law if I had to. Unfortunately some people feel like they are immune to consequences when they harm others and being the one harmed myself after I left the support group, I thought that would be that. Even after leaving one of the founders lied to the police they harassed me in my inbox but I didn't respond, maybe they wanted me to respond so I'd breach the false community protection notice, but I blocked her instead. Other people's behaviour are theirs and theirs alone... Let them be harmful to others, you ca...

I officially quit today:

Image
 I will only apply for jobs now via DurhamEnable.  Three years of wasting my time is enough. I am no longer wasting my precious time on forms that will lead to nothing because society is the problem, not the disabled. I will focus on my own business and that's that! My heart goes out to all disabled people that have to deal with years of this rejection, that don't disclose their disabilities so they get to the next stage only to not be taken further once they do. For EE I corrected and helped an actual paid employee when I shadowed them, I am exhausted.  I am done. Today I officially quit wasting my time with jobs unless they're linked to disability friendly organisations. Sarah Wingfield. Independent Disability Advocate  #officiallyquit #societyisfailingus #disability #DisabilityAwareness #disabilityrights #disabilitysupport #workwithdisabledfriendlyonly 

You have to become your own boss:

Image
All you ever read when you're disabled and seeking paid employment...get used to it, and oh if you're autistic and have RSD, enjoy it even more!!! Three years of this so far and more to come, I need to get driving so I can be MY OWN BOSS and get my business back up and running and do a refresher in photography cause there is NO WAY anyone will hire me. Your skills means nothing when you're mobility impaired.  Your studies and sacrifices worthless. I need to stop being professional and honest and stop disclosing I have a disability to people hiring, because when I don't disclose it I get to the next stage sometimes, and then I'm not taken further once they find out. Thank you universe. I am worthless because that's how employers see me. I am exhausted from trying when no one else will. Sarah Wingfield. Independent Disability Advocate. #disability #disabilitysupport #disabilitybenefits #disabilityrights #wewontgethired 

Are the govt going to pay employers?

Image
Are the government prepared to pay employers to employ disabled people then? Cause without incentive we won't get hired! Been looking for a paid job for three years and apply to over 120 a month and I've been with three organisations that help people into work and been to a reverse job fair and more! I have so many new qualifications cause I work for charities unpaid while I wait for paid work because I have to find £190 a month to cover my pain management medication costs cause nothing on the NHS helps and I've managed to reverse the kidney and liver damage over a decade of opioids caused me and never helped me. Just helped me suffer and be less of a burden on the NHS system.  Also whose gonna cover the hospital and social care costs that these cuts are going to inflate and incrue? We're supposed to be saving money not costing the country more with homelessness, mental health, chronic pain and the disabled suffering because they're no longer going to be able to aff...

The cuts will cost us BILLIONS elsewhere:

Image
 Let's cost ourselves BILLIONS in hospital care and social care instead because of these cuts: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/mar/17/keir-starmer-to-unveil-drastic-disability-benefit-cuts-despite-opposition As the government haven't taken into account they are condoning harm on the most vulnerable of society and those who didn't choose to be disabled. These cuts will in fact cost us more when they come into affect as many disabled and vulnerable are forced into poverty. With this hospitals and social care will have to try and make up for the loss, costing the country billions when we were supposed to be trying to save. We can't save by taking from those with nothing, maybe start thinking about cuts from the top. This may be controversial to those easily influenced by the propaganda and claims it's not sustainable but in reality what's not sustainable is sacrificing the needs the disabled have to cover costs of the wants of those in power. I'm not s...

Still surprised people condone harm:

Image
Why are the ones who claim to support and study and work in mental health always the most abusive, judgemental and sadistic?  How we were ever friends I don't know but ew and unfriended. My work matters.  Educate yourself better. Period. We need to support and help the vulnerable not penalise them and make things worse! Best to avoid anyone who thinks the PIP reform will be a good thing. I'm lucky I'm not homeless yet ... But could be shortly... I have to fund private pain management and more. Disability isn't cheap it's expensive and I'm heartbroken that people in these industries can't see the harm they're causing and advocating for. I definitely don't want to be counselled by anyone who condones harm. I won't share the screenshots on my blog because I'm not big on hate campaigns and people like this lady who has psychiatry papers published will always show her true colours to people around her eventually. I simply can't support anyone ...

Email the MP:

Image
Email the MP now! Dear Mr Strickland, As a constituent in Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor, I’m deeply concerned by reports of proposed changes to disability benefits, particularly those that would affect Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) group.  These changes could have a devastating impact on disabled people, pushing many into financial hardship. I urge you to speak out against these cuts. I am a disabled woman whose a mother to a disabled child as well as an independent disability advocate. Disabled people with complex needs often face significant barriers to work and they should get the support they need to overcome these barriers. But PIP is unrelated to work, so making it harder to access does nothing to improve people's path to work. And even if it did, employment is not a realistic prospect for every disabled person. No one should be forced to enter work or look for work at the expense of their health. Re...

Stay safe:

Image
I've encountered plenty people with a 'hero complex' or a 'saint complex' - "but I'm a NICE person" where their actions don't align with their words and who have been all of these types in ONE person. It's not you. Stay safe and avoid toxic types. ~Recognising Manipulative Behaviour in Helping Professions:~ The majority of people working in caring professions—such as charities, healthcare, counselling, and social services—are compassionate and genuinely want to help others. However, as with any profession, these spaces can also attract individuals who seek validation, control, or power under the guise of altruism. Some people with a "hero complex" or "saviour mentality" may struggle with setting boundaries, crave recognition, or become defensive when their actions are questioned. In more extreme cases, they may manipulate others, refuse to acknowledge the harm they cause, or use their position to control narratives and silen...

The Sun attacks the disabled:

Image
And you ALL BELIEVE the media... It's got to be right RIGHT? Cut your strings puppets and start thinking about the AGENDA behind RAGEBAIT like this: Ragebait for the masses and brainless to fuel more hate and segregation for the disabled. Are you going to HATE us now or are you going TO FIGHT THE WORLD WITH US? THE cuts needs to start in parliament not the vulnerable! Then whoever stays have the pure agendas for the country. Enough is enough now! (P.s. wonder why my social media is constantly censored and glitching? Maybe it's because I am a truth teller in a world set on corruption!) I already boycott the SUN everywhere because they are literally BS'ers and scaremongerers and if it was America they'd have been sued multiple times by now for misinformation and enciting HATE. #hatethedisabled #mediadictate #puppets #brainwashing #boycottmedia #ragebait #ukfight #government #mediacorruption #thesun

Movie - A Veil of Silence:

Image
  I am so excited to be a part of Mike Davies New movie 'The Veil of Silence' where I have the pleasure of playing a murder victim! Keep an eye out for me in this! This movie features a main character called Thomas Greene, a quiet hospital worker, who hides a deadly obsession.  Fascinated by life and death, he hunts, sedates, and dissects victims in secret.  His chilling precision keeps him undetected until one escapes.  Erica survives, triggering his downfall. Arrested and imprisoned, Thomas faces justice, but death doesn't end his darkness. A supernatural force lingers, haunting those connected to him. The past refuses to stay buried, and silence conceals horrors waiting to resurface. As the veil lifts, fear spreads. The Veil of Silence is a psychological thriller where murder, obsession, and the unknown intertwine in terrifying ways. A must watch when released! Filming starts next year and I am so proud to be a part of the team! Sarah Wingfield  IMDb.me/Sara...

Movies - Reloaded 3:

I'm so excited to film for this, this month! I play Lucy and I know I'm just a snippet of four lines but I never thought I'd be acting again after my life took a drastic turn in 2009. I'm back and I'm ready to attack! IMDb.me/SarahWingfield 🎬  More to come from this lil' lady as I build my movie portfolio and I will be able to invest in new productions once I get paid work which I won't quit seeking. I work hard, I sacrifice hard, I fight my body and I want to inspire other disabled people to go after their dreams. For those that try and sabotage me, I'm flattered you see my worth but I'm unstoppable baby so quit while you're ahead cause I'm a professional when it comes to creating silver linings out of thin air and turning negative experiences into positives and into the power to improve life and help others! You haters just need a life of your own or a hobby, cause I won't quit. Not for you, not for no one and I do whatever it takes t...

POTS and EDS- my conditions:

Image
These are the conditions I have as well as others and how they impact my life: The Link Between POTS & EDS: What You Need to Know If you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or suspect you might, you may have also experienced symptoms of POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)—but why are these conditions so often connected? What is POTS? POTS is a form of dysautonomia, a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. People with POTS experience an abnormal increase in heart rate (30+ BPM in adults, 40+ BPM in teens) upon standing, often leading to dizziness, fainting, fatigue, and brain fog. What is EDS? EDS is a group of connective tissue disorders that cause joint hypermobility, fragile skin, and issues with blood vessels and organs. hEDS (Hypermobile EDS) is the most common type and has a strong association with POTS. How Are POTS & EDS Connected? 🔹 Weak Connective Tissu...

Govt plans to make millions of Disabled people homeless:

Image
The attack on the disabled by the UK government is not over. Fxcking bxstxrds target PIP and UC and do nothing to help people, welcome to homelessness for millions of disabled people thanks to those who haven't got a clue in power. Most employers won't employ disabled people and those that can't work can't afford to lose more money when most of us have to cover costs of private pain management cause the NHS don't support us. Crazy reality with a government that is ruining people's lives I mean wtaf! Thank you for trying to make me homeless and I hope this doesn't end up happening! I can't believe Rachel Reeves would even consider this, it shows how out of touch government is with the reality for disabled people.

The universe has plans for me:

Image
I have restrictions on my Facebook account right now that are not showing up in my dashboard information. So frustrating when you're trying to seek a job as a disabled woman. It's preventing me from posting on job groups. I have Instagram sabotaging my music artist page again by automatically removing everything I post as 'inauthentic behaviour' which is not factual. My car got keyed again so I'm definitely being targeted again in my street even when I leave them to cause trouble between one another like they all did before I even got out of my wheelchair and home; and before they chose to make me a target.  I stay in my own lane away from them all. Let them do what they want. Be loud, be abusive, whatever, as long as they don't involve me and it's never good enough so I had to call the police again about my property damage. Cowardly behaviour indeed. I think the universe is telling me my fate does not lie with staying in Newton Aycliffe and I need to spread...

Sunshine and Seasides:

Image
  My wonderful partner Peter and I, went to an arcade yesterday in Redcar and I love the images Peter captured of me! It was wonderful to seize the day of sunshine, as it's been so scarce, and so we decided to make the best of the warm and rare British sunny weather. We visited an ice cream place called Gabrielle's to which I enjoyed a lemon top sundae and Peter enjoyed a Pistachio sundae and we visited a park on the way home. It was nice to sit and watch the sea for a while. Beautiful and calming. I've come so far since being housebound/bedbound and I'm finally starting to feel like I can start and enjoy life more. I don't have a lot of 'easy' days so I'm super grateful when the warmer weather brings with it, ease of movement and a bit of a break from an increase in pain. Although I still need to pace myself and rest, I am looking forward to making more amazing and happy memories now that the weather is warming up! It's so crazy what a few years can...

Disability Confident CLAIMS are often false:

Fake disability confident employers are an issue. They claim one thing but don't action the change and accessibility actually required! We need to action more positive change.

DurhamEnable and all it takes is sunshine:

Image
My partner Peter as my assistant. My assistant for the day Peter, and I, did really well with the DurhamEnable reverse job fair and I have three potential opportunities all different things, podcast, acting and a disability positive employment position.  Overall I'm so glad I did this today and it gave people like myself a chance to explain things from the perspective of those they're hiring. How hard we work, how dedicated we are and how difficult it is to break down disability stigma to get paid employment. I hope all the businesses attending consider working with DurhamEnable and together, build a more accessible and disabled confident employment base.  A huge thank you to DurhamEnable for all the hard work they do to help disabled people into permanent employment. Today's event was exceptional and educational for all. The sun was shining a bit later today, for the first time in a long time, and I sat outside on the grass for a bit.  Life has a weird habit of drawing y...
