It's still blocked now. I don't know what to do!!! The waters almost at the brim. I've flushed so many times. Also removed some toilet paper though mostly disintegrated mush now. What do I do!!!???

Fill a bucket or watering can with water. Stand on a chair and pour from a height into the toilet, you might have to do this a couple of times.
the pressure should shift some of the toilet roll.
The third time, flush the toilet and pour from a great height at the same time.

Empty as much of the water that is up to the brim before you do the pouring.

Have you got long sleeved gloves and a bucket?

When ds did this to our toilet I removed what I could and put it in the bucket before I tried to flush again.

Ds watched in horror and won't be doing it again!

You might need a drain snake or if the blockage isn't too far along try wire coat hanger.

I don't have a drain snake (never heard of it!) What a way to spend aday to myself!

hook out all the blockage first

no point in driving the blockage deeper.
