Today was one of those "look how far I've come" moments.
Less than 2 months ago I was in a psych ward, today I stood up at a national conference and used my experience of mental health problems to talk about managing feelings of trauma in practice.
Today was a good day

Heartbroken to hear of Sophie's death.
I'm just starting my year of research for my dissertation into supporting neurodivergent student midwives and the conversations I had with Sophie have shaped that massively.
She will be in my heart as I write it ๐

My first publication!! Such an important one for the retention of ND students and midwives. Plus written with the best co-authors. Thank you @TPM_Journal

Really sad to hear of the death of @sophieraynerx , someone Iโve been mutuals on here with for a while
Her family are raising money for her funeral, if anyone can help contribute to that

Friends, if I were to โจ hypothetically โจ write a children's book about the adventures of 3 golden retrievers, what do you think it should include?? Any suggestions welcome...It's an idea my brother suggested a while ago and it's been niggling on my mind ๐ถ (see the stars below)

Just dropping in to say hi after being AWOL on here for many months!
I've been busy living life, working and doing a part time masters, all while keeping the lump of jelly in my skull happy, and succeeding!
Currently having a 2 week breather in Majorca, and reflecting ๐

Grannies really got it right with tea and soup and knitting and doing puzzles and sitting outside listening to the birds and having a sweet treat and going to bed at 8pm

Day 3 of the snow.
Everything is now ice.
Road? Ice.
Car? Ice.
Garden? Ice.
Snow? Ice.
Me? Ice.
Dogs? Ice.
My morning view from bed is gorgeous, but the cars are still stuck and I'd quite like a trip to the supermarket soon ๐

I hope you have all had a peaceful Christmas ๐
I worked a lovely afternoon shift on Christmas day (maternity at Christmas is special) after seeing my family briefly in the morning, and then the pups definitely enjoyed their boxing day walk yesterday!

Daytime: working and doing my masters
Nighttime: brain homework ๐
Been working through a bipolar management course with CMHT
I usually like to ignore bipolar when I'm well, not wanting it to define me
BUT- I do have to pay attention so I don't get ill. It's about balance โ๏ธ

Life is uncertain. Tell your loved ones you love them right now or as soon as you can.

Question for anyone/ everyone:
If you were to have teaching on neurodivergence in the work place, what would you like to learn about?
We are bringing it into our mandatory training and I want to make it as useful as possible!
Any suggestions/ ideas much appreciated ๐

I've been back to my old school recently.
As an undiagnosed autistic teen, school confused and overwhelmed me, a lot
I love seeing how much more student support there is now. It makes me happy to know current students are getting what they need to thrive ๐

After a 2 month long depressive episode I am finally back ๐
Mood stabilisers adjusted and CMHT input has got me back on track
So for now I'm back to enjoying the little things, like dinner and sleepovers with my gorgeous friend Harriet who's been by my side since we were 11๐

Me in August: oh I'm so stable clearly I've made up that I have bipolar, let's stop taking my medication properly to prove I don't need them.
Me in September: I wonder why I'm showing signs of a relapse this has come completely out of the blue ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Me: minimal bipolar symptoms when I take my medication properly
Also me: wow maybe I never had it in the first place and I made it all up and Iโm actually fine and just being dramatic

Just a reminder that you are doing your best, and thatโs more than enough. Itโs okay to take it one day at a time.

Real talk: the past couple of months have been tough.
A bipolar relapse compounded by a police case, ending of friendships, and the general end of summer sads has hit me like a tonne of bricks.
But a reminder for all: set backs don't erase progress. One step at a time ๐

What she fails to mention in this post is how much she has kept me together over the years.
Hours on facetime, long drives across the country, fabulous life advice (even if she doesn't take it herself...)
You are the most beautiful soul and I'm so lucky to call you my bestie

Today is important. 4 yrs ago, I met my all time best friend in person for the first time. Both out of our first psych admissions, we celebrated life together. She's kind, funny, intelligent & the best human in my life. Love you so much @Lisgetsreal. You are amazing beyond words
