I am recruiting for my DClinPsy thesis and looking for individuals who have attended NHS Emergency Departments for mental health reasons in the last 6 months. Eligible participants will be invited to an interview and receive a £20 voucher. southampton.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1Z…

A very moving report compiled by @DumpTheScales - “An Inquiry into the Prevention of Eating Disorder Deaths” - has just been published in memory of Zara Taylor and other precious lives that have been lost to eating disorders: dumpthescales.org/_files/ugd/7a0…

✨PLEASE SHARE ✨ Do you have lived experience of MH difficulties? Would you like to be involved in research? I’m looking for experts by experience to be involved in the design and materials for my DClinPsy thesis on Trauma Informed Care in A&E. For more info, DM or email me 💫

TW Suicide Suicidal ideation isn't either impulsive or planned but often a weird back and forth between the two until one gives up and goes 'fuck it, ok'.

Placement 3 ☑️ 50% through DClin ☑️ Fallen even more in love with acute inpatient work ☑️ #dclinpsy

The whole body tiredness at the end of a week of placement really makes me question how I’ll ever go back to a 5 day working week when I’m qualified 😅

A patient somewhere still remembers you because you were present and kind in a difficult, vulnerable moment when no one else was.

Guilt: I did something shitty Shame: I’m shitty Depression: It’s all shitty Anxiety: Am I…shit? ADHD: Shi…poop? Accountability: This is my shit Dialogue: When you __, I feel shitty Dialectic: I feel shitty and I’m learning how not to Acceptance: Sometimes I feel shitty.

This this this 👇🏼

Show me something more NHS than the pot of coffee you just made with a fork and the bag held closed with a paper clip 😆 sooo neeeeearly Friday

What if we stopped calling it 'borderline personality disorder' and started calling it what it often is: survival patterns from unmet needs, trauma, misrecognition and rejection. #TraumaNotPD

Dclin really is “I’ve totally got this” to “I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, take me back to undergrad” in 30 seconds flat

3 weeks into placement 3 and I already feel so at home in the ward and psychology teams, there’s just something about acute inpatient work that will always have my heart #dclinpsy

"if we change the law without adequate resourcing of palliative care, then there will be people who choose to end their lives because they weren’t being provided with the care they needed" theguardian.com/society/2024/o…

Eating disorder recovery isn’t just about weight and food, because that’s also not all there is to an eating disorder. It’s about learning who you are without it and how to be comfortable with that. It’s about getting your identity back as a whole person.

Say it louder for the people at the back 👏🏼

Just some reflective thoughts on attachment…a 🧵🪡
