I just messaged them on twitter and they confirmed my application and biometrics have been submitted to UKVI and that was it. Is that reliable using twitter?
I am getting so nervous that I have done something wrong with how long its taking and worrying I wont hear back by the end of the year now
I know no news is good news but its been 6 months as of today and I just want to know.

When you had the Twitter exchange, did you mention that you were at the six month point? That is, as Margo says, beyond the service standard now. And yes, maybe escalate to your MP.
I think the Twitter DMs are genuine, although they don't really serve much purpose other than to confirm what the status of your application is. I suspect it's pretty much the same if you call, but maybe a tiny bit less tedious. (I'm not a phone person, so that may just be my take.)
Someone here posted the letter they sent (I sent one too), and it was very well crafted, IMHO. If you'd like me to reshare it, I'd be happy to do so. You'd just have to cut and paste with the appropriate details/refinements. It may be better if it comes from the MP's constituent, but I sent it (I'm not a citizen with voting rights yet) and my MP responded via email in just a few days. I was surprised, to be honest!
