I started writing the first chapter or what I hope will turn into a book at some point, early days but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.

2025 has been WILD and SHIT in equal parts. Some things are ending, others may open new doors. Cryptic for now, but I’ll share soon. I even touched on one in my podcast (Toby Honest). This has nothing to do with the pre-shower pit/himbo pic, just me trying to post more. ❤️ #lifeupdate #armpit #himbo

Listening and revisiting #björk’s entire discography, currently listening to the #Post album, so good!

I’m in an interesting process of streamlining all of the online alter-egos I’ve had for years for different creative outputs into one, Toby Huxley - I think I spread myself out so thinly and want to bring everything back under my name properly

I am more than ready for the summer and it’s hot weather to do one, give me cold crisp and cosy weather please!

Yes :D

I really hope those affected understand. Things are slowly lightening. And if you do want to reach out, I’m more likely to reply now. Thanks for your patience 💙

So if I’ve been quiet, slower to respond, or not my usual self, I’m sorry. Please know it hasn’t been about you, just me trying to survive a storm of health, neurodivergence, sleep struggles & work stress.

I’ve now raised a formal grievance, with Union & ACAS support. It’s been exhausting, draining, & has affected every part of my life but I’m still standing, just about.

That meeting blindsided me: failings I’d never been told of, my adjustments used against me. I left traumatised & suicidal. I appealed & won again, as it was found procedurally flawed.

While all this was going on, work became very difficult. I was given a disability-related absence warning, appealed, & won. But the next day I was hit with a Stage 2 performance meeting, skipping Stage 1 entirely.

At the same time, I’ve had new physical health issues that leave me fatigued & less mobile. I’m also being tested for sleep apnoea (NHS waits are 54+ weeks).

To complicate things, I’m in the small % where ADHD meds just… stop working. I’m now waiting in a long queue before I can trial a new one, which makes everything harder.

In 2023 I was re-diagnosed with ADHD. In March this year, I was also diagnosed Autistic. Since then I’ve been unmasking, learning how I really function, & dealing with the burnout that came from years of masking.

I’ve been quieter than usual, both socially & in-person. I want to share why & also apologise if I’ve seemed unresponsive. It hasn’t been intentional, just a lot to deal with. (Thread 🧵)

if you fancy more chaos, thoughts, or just wanna get a better sense of what’s going on in my brain, the podcast’s at tobyhonest.com and the blog’s at blog.tobyhonest.com. hoping it helps someone feel a bit less alone.
