What Surviving Looks Like:

Image
"This is what surviving looks like. Not strong in the dramatic Hollywood sense. Strong in the sense of carrying chronic pain, trauma, neurodivergence, loneliness, judgement, anxiety, and depression every day and still choosing to wake up tomorrow." When you can't express or articulate it, create it.

The figure hugs a pink heart-shaped cushion while surrounded by flowing black and white scribbles symbolising chaotic thoughts and emotions. Words written across the body and around the figure include "ADHD," "Autism," "CPTSD," "Anxiety," "Chronic," "Depression," "Judgement," "Invisible," "Alone," and "Bad Thoughts." Across the cheek is the phrase "...

Interview on Understanding Domestic Abuse with Learning Curve Group:

Image
Join me in explaining my educational journey with  Learning Curve Group   There’s something powerful about choosing to keep learning — especially when life has already taught you more than it ever should have. My journey with Learning Curve Group wasn’t just about gaining a qualification. It was about reclaiming something. Structure. Understanding. A sense of direction in a world that, at times, has felt deliberately disorientating. I completed the Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Domestic Abuse — and I don’t say that lightly. This wasn’t just a course you “tick off.” This was one of those experiences that sits with you. That challenges you. That validates things you’ve lived through, while also giving you the language, the frameworks, and the clarity to advocate — not just for yourself, but for others. What stood out to me most was the accessibility. And I mean that in the way it should actually be understood — not as a buzzword, but as a lived necessity. As someone ...

Mental Health Awareness:

Image
No one wakes up and chooses to struggle. Not to feel so low they can’t move. Not to feel so anxious they can’t breathe. Not to live in a body and mind that feels like it’s working against them. Mental illness is not a personality flaw. It’s not attention-seeking. It’s not a lack of strength. It’s real. It’s valid. And it deserves understanding — not judgment. If you’ve never experienced it, lead with empathy, not assumption. And if you have… I see you. You’re not alone in this.

The image features a quote stating that no one would choose to be so depressed they can’t get out of bed, or so anxious they experience daily panic attacks, and that no one would choose to have a mental illness that worsens their life. The final line reads in bold: “MENTAL ILLNES...

The biggest issue:

The biggest issue for chronic pain warriors is not 'addiction' it's suicide #suicideawareness Credit: KawaiiDollDecora.UK Sarah Wingfield  Independent Disability Advocate    #disabilityinclusion #strongertogether #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilitysupport #disabilityrights Alt text: Pastel kawaii-style illustration showing a sad-looking young woman with long pink hair and glasses, hugging a plush bunny for comfort. She is surrounded by soft clouds, hearts, sparkles, and a rainbow arching across the top. Cute but somber details include small skull characters, a crying cloud holding a noose-shaped rope, and a tipped-over pill bottle with tablets spilling out, symbolising the seriousness of chronic pain and mental health struggles. Text on the image reads: “The biggest issue for chronic pain warriors is not ‘addiction’ it’s suicide” with the hashtag #suicideawareness. The artwork is signed and credited “KawaiiDollDecora.UK” in a pastel, dreamy background.

New Position: Director:

Image
I’m proud to share that I’ve stepped into the role of Director & Disability Advocate at Let’s Talk North East (LTNE). Anyone who knows me knows this isn’t just a title — it’s the work I live every single day. Fighting for accessibility. Challenging the systems that shut disabled people out. Speaking up when we’re dismissed, ignored, or treated as an afterthought. I’ve done that on my own for a long time, fuelled by lived experience, stubbornness, and the belief that disabled voices deserve to be heard. Now, I get to bring that same fire into a space built for real conversations and real change. LTNE gives me the platform to push harder, shout louder, and advocate alongside people who genuinely care about the North East community. My focus is simple: Break down barriers. Amplify disabled voices. Create a region where accessibility isn’t an afterthought but a standard. I’m ready for this next chapter — and I’m not doing it quietly. 🔗 letstalknortheast.org Sarah Wingfield  Indepe...

Suicide Awareness Certificate:

A New Step in My Advocacy Journey: Suicide Awareness Training I’m proud to share that I’ve recently completed my Suicide Awareness Training with the Zero Suicide Alliance (ZSA). This certification means a lot to me — not just as another achievement, but as a personal commitment to understanding, compassion, and prevention. As someone who has struggled with mental health challenges, I know how heavy the world can feel at times. There have been moments when I felt completely unseen — and that’s why I believe so deeply that suicide is preventable. Not through empty words or quick fixes, but through connection, awareness, and empathy. The ZSA training offered practical tools to help recognise the signs when someone may be struggling, how to approach that conversation safely, and how to guide them toward the right support. It reinforced something I’ve always believed: we don’t need to be professionals to make a difference — we just need to show up with care and listen without judgement. I t...

You don't know if someone suffering will still be alive to go to their next appointment which is over a month away.” Below the quote, it says: Big Mental Health Survey. 2025 respondent. On the 8th... I nearly became a number, a statistic, a memory... An ASD episode, PTSD and on top of AuAdhd, I struggled.  Which is why I use my struggles to help others. We should never have to endure this - but we don't have to be alone in it. ❤️  Hit pause and rest, and don't let the bully in your brain - win. I'm fighting back now but I have a long road to recovery and mental health healing isn't linear, it's ups and downs and goods and bads - it's a rollercoaster and it's more complex for those with conditions and disabilities.  Together we can support each other and com...
