@Auras_Journey Their loss. X

I've just seen my old job advertised at my previous trust and it's made me feel really sad. They didn't want me, I was pushed out ☹

@TraumaPhDandMe I better go and try star jumps and a cup of tea. Self destruct button well and truly pressed today. X

Contacted CMHT duty team. Told me to do some star jumps & have a cup of tea. Called Samaritans & they were better & listened, but ended the call hastily at 70mins (assume they have max call times?). In desperation, tried to call student support, but got lost in endless options 1/

@Auras_Journey That's great. X

It's not a lot but it is for me; I'm 7 days free from self harm. That's a whole week that I've been able to keep myself safe. At the moment, that is a big deal

@Auras_Journey Well done. Keep it going. X

I made it! 4 consecutive months free of opiates 🥳

@BecauseIMatter He's lucky to have a parent like you. Keep on fighting. X

2 years ago I added MH Advocate to my job description. Didn’t really know what that meant but I knew I was going to use my voice to help others. Now, my five year old who hasn’t even been diagnosed w/ADHD yet needs it & I plan to use it. #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters

@BecauseIMatter There's no rush. I know what it's like to have a manic week. Taking care of your family is your number one priority. X

@tasmcc It’s not common at all and I don’t want you to think I’ve forgotten, this week just got Uber overwhelming but the note is on a bright pink post it next to my computer and I won’t forget. I should get to it this week for you 💚

This AM, I had to write an email to my son’ principal. My son is FIVE. He’s in kindergarten. I shouldn’t have to write this type of email. No parent should have to write this. As of 10:30 am, I pulled my child out of school. I’m waiting for a call. #MentalHealthMatters

@BecauseIMatter That's ok. Psych said I was the first person he had known that had suffered serotonin syndrome in 40 years of prescribing SSRI's

@tasmcc Thank you and I know, I wouldn’t even make my patients feel this badly about themselves. To know an adult is making a child feel like this is awful to me (PS I haven’t forgotten to look into the stuff for you, I’ve just been a bit overwhelmed w/stuff recently. It’s written down)

@Auras_Journey Best thing in the world. X

Today I have been looking after my young nephews. They've kept my mind from wandering to bad thoughts for a short time. Their little faces and giggles are just so adorable. I'm so lucky to have two such beautiful little boys in my life 💙💙

@Auras_Journey That's horrible. Try and not let it get to you. You did nothing wrong. X

The person who sexually assaulted me has just tried to add me as a friend on Facebook...I'm majorly triggered right now!!

@shansMHjourney I will be thinking about you. Try and stay strong. X

@Auras_Journey It is horrific. I'm not great either. DM if you want to chat. X

@tasmcc There were so many people there, mostly with actual accidents or emergencies this time. The poor NHS staff were run off their feet. I felt so bad being there. Thank you so much - I'm still not doing fantastically but at least I'm home now x

10.5hr A&E wait.... The NHS is in crisis!

@Auras_Journey DM me if you need to chat.

@Auras_Journey Have you tried contacting a support helpline. I'm in Scotland and I've used SAMH and breathing space helpline. Have you had a look on the MIND website to see if there are any support helplines you can contact. I try to use web based chat as I don't like talking when I'm upset.

CMHT won't help because they're using a 'psychological approach' on me. Meaning I need to be self sufficient in using my DBT skills to get myself through this crisis. Even though DBT isn't helping with intrusive thoughts! 'We need to stop having these same conversations' - CMHT

@Auras_Journey Try being a healthcare professional with mental health issues. Your colleagues look at you with absolute disgust. If I had a broken bone then people can see the cast etc. I just have a broken brain. I'm still me underneath the labels. #MentalHealthMatters

I wish I was never diagnosed with a personality disorder. The stigma is so apparent amongst health care providers

@Auras_Journey Try and keep going and keep on at your CMHT. Also can you self present at your mental health hospital for assessment.

Unfortunately I've been in A&E again for self harm. This time it needed surgeons to repair. I need more help, things are getting worse. Psych liaison said they'd give me more help but my CMHT are not allowing it. No increase in contact and no extra help. What do I do?! 😭
