It’s been an honour commentating the gymnastics today.

21 years ago this summer I nearly died by suicide because I knew I’d never be happy again. Today I put away the dishes then stood in the garden and let summer rain soak me to my skin. I felt so alive and quietly euphoric I wanted to reach back through time to tell me I was wrong.

@TamingOlivia I'm so sorry Catherine, it is so very painful. Try and plan in some time for you, a long shower or bath even. Grief and worries can be triggering and try to look after yourself as you process it ❤️

[Baby Brain @BabyBrainPMH]

@TheOCDfight Yes! I have vivid dreams and end up screaming most nights - exhausting!

I was the on-call SpR psychiatrist last night in South London

I assessed people in a mental health crisis who needed emergency inpatient care

There was NOT A SINGLE PSYCHIATRIC BED AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY

If this was physical health, there would be outrage

@Andy_Coates Hi there, it can be so difficult with a new baby. Whether your wife's difficulties are physical, mental or both, please talk to a GP, your health visitor and midwife. Support for perinatal parents has massively improved and services are in place to help. Praying for you x

@NHSNWCCG Thank you for your response, I'll do that.

[Baby Brain @BabyBrainPMH]

@NHSNWCCG My elderly father's care has been terrible and 6months of confusing and contradictory advice has left him suicidal. He needs coordinated, appropriate and timely care. Please give me details of how to complain officially.

Mark and I have said up this Instagram page @paternalvoices as a place for fathers to share their stories and have a voice, post anonymously or named send in to us as a DM we will do the rest... https://t.co/awZYqRC91h #howareyoudad @MarkWilliamsFMH @WeCanDoThisGrp @MentalPmha

Current most bizarre thought (but can't rule it out): 'what if a stranger has broken in, held a lighter up to the alarm to get you up and is now hiding somewhere to kill you all in your sleep?'

[Baby Brain @BabyBrainPMH]

When the fire alarm goes off at 1:20am, and despite there being no signs of fire, OCD does an excited 'what if, what if, what if?' dance and you know there'll be no more sleep tonight. #OCD #mentalhealth #MentalHealthAwareness #ocdawareness

My great-gran used to tell us she was going to a hotel, but it was really for psychiatric help. Is there anyway of finding out where she went and why? (She died in 1989) #mentalhealth #psychiatry #healthrecords

[Baby Brain @BabyBrainPMH]

@TheOCDfight If anyone says they like something I have, I have to tell them it was a bargain or second hand, so they don't think I have lots of money. Still ridiculous, but slightly better than when my response used to be to try and give them said item.
