ANGELA MCCRIMMON

@BipolarScotland I missed it as only just reading post. Is there a way to listen on catch up?

Tune into BBC Radio Scotland this morning at 10.30am to hear our CEO Jayne and Peer Worker Sam join a discussion on supporting Bipolar and neurodiversity in the workplace, following Heston Blumenthal's disclosure of his diagnosis and calling for better support in the workplace.

Aged 19, @angdmc was diagnosed with a severe mental illness. Her poem Stand Up, calls for better understanding of SMI. Will you help her spread the word? #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek ⬇️

@DrAmirKhanGP Hi Amir. I just wondered if u received my letter in hope that you could help me learn how whatever religion and culture different from my own for the end of life douala training I'm doing if you have you might have some time available for a video call if possible? Angela

Writing my next book - I’ve got the story in my head but it’s harder than I thought it would be getting out on paper! Plus #MamaKhan keeps calling to tell me about her new sofa and what colour cushions she’s going to buy for it!

@HannahB4LiviMP If it wasn't such a ridiculous statement it would be funny!!! Ur one of the nicest,hardworking, down to earth human beings I know and that's before we add in what a great politician you are too!! X

What on earth??

@DocRobWaller @PremierRadio @mindandsouluk @Youthscape @Theosthinktank @beHeadStrong Really enjoyed listening to this. Personally hate Chatbots but agree AI is here to stay. Remove this comment if not allowed but I used Betterhelp Online Therapy where you can request a Christian therapist and all qualified. Also offer reduced fees for low income. A REAL PERSON:-)

I was on @PremierRadio's Inspirational Breakfast today talking about whether we should use #AI chatbots if we cannot easily access a 'real' therapist. Would you? premier.plus/inspirational-… [free sign up needed] @mindandsouluk @Youthscape @Theosthinktank @beHeadStrong

@awgaffney @DocRobWaller Couldn't agree with you more Adam and Dr Waller. We are moving in the right direction re stigma but then you read something like that and realise how far we still have to go!

@ProfLAppleby @merrick_pope Couldn't agree more!

Where did it come from, the idea MH staff shouldn’t intervene when a suicidal person is thought to have capacity? •Misunderstanding of MH Act •Culture of downgrading risk in a service under pressure •Stigma directed at people with PD diagnosis Dangerous & unacceptable.

Talking about mental health reduces stigma helping to create supportive communities where we can talk openly about mental health. However you do it, start a conversation about mental health this #TimetoTalk Day on Feb 3. Get everything you need seemescotland.org/seeus/campaign…

@DocRobWaller I'd love my appts by video! Not with you right enough as you're not my consultant lol. Happy New year to you and your family 🙂

Virtually all of my clinic appointments are available via video. There are a few times I need to see someone face to face (eg some mental health act work), but for those who have the hardware then video works well for me.

@HannahB4LiviMP It's taken me a year to reply...oops lol. I'm doing well thanks Hannah. Would be lovely to see you in the new year. You work so hard, hope you get a chance to relax and recharge with your loved ones. Stay safe x

@angdmc Only thing for it Angela I hope you’re well?! X

Goodness this person must be having a bad day. What a shame. Sending hugs 🤗

@ClaterNick @WestLothianHSCP Good luck Nick. You played a part in my story and I'm grateful for your help. Wish you well.

@WestLothianHSCP A great send off, thank you. My single greatest achievement in 5 years was getting Mairead to agree to getting her photo taken.

We said farewell this afternoon to two much respected colleagues. Mairead Hughes, our Chief Nurse, retires after many years of dedicated service in West Lothian and Nick Clater, General Manager for Mental Health and Addiction Services, heads off to pastures new. Good luck.

@merrick_pope @REAS_NHSLothian @NHS_Lothian What an incredible and unexpected journey you've had and I, too, am glad you wouldn't change a thing. Congratulations x

Sudden realisation I started 30 years ago this year as a nursing assistant at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, in what I thought would be a temp job. Wouldn't change a thing! @REAS_NHSLothian @NHS_Lothian

@StirVolunteer @FDAMH Eventbrite says the event has been postponed. Is this correct? Would love to join in if poss
