@ArtyFolks Wow, fancy reminding people struggling with low mood or depression who know they should prioritise their mental health but can’t for whatever reason, that without it they don’t have much to hold on to …that’s a terrible message

@ParentInfantFdn How to add to the guilt, fear & sadness of every mother who’s going through or ever had #pnd #perinatalmentalillness #postpartumpsychosis for ever😔

Psychosis: strange beliefs that can’t be true (delusions), seeing things that aren’t there (hallucinations) & loss of touch with reality(mania)

It can take a decade to stop believing in people & things you shouldn’t & to see where genuine support, kindness & understanding exists

To all mums who need to hear this right now & especially those who’ve come through or are still going through #PostpartumPsychosis ...that means you!

10yrs ago being able to tell my story in a safe, welcoming space, without shame was inconceivable. A favourite memory is in 2014 when 30 women met in person & were understood & accepted for the 1st the time💜 https://t.co/xTYy8Q8fQC @ActionOnPP @heronjess @jonesir @LauraDockrill

Did Piers actually show empathy for Meghan #miscarriage after he hounded her? Be nice, you never know what pain people carry round with them #gmb

@AlexBThomson I’m uncomfortable being called a ‘case study’ too

[PP Soup @PPsoup]

@catherineroyuk @BreastfeedDHC @babyfriendly Omg, that’s terrifying😳

[PP Soup @PPsoup]

@RuthAnnHarpur Isn’t it weird how differently we interpret words? Guess it depends on who says it & what context. I barely ever had parental support, for me it means care & support the mum & a good mother wouldn’t be overbearing. I’d have loved to feel mothered/safe/secure, with PP it was vital

[PP Soup @PPsoup]

If you’re struggling with anything #postpartumpsychosis & need some kindness, or to connect with others who understand...

[Action on Postpartum Psychosis @ActionOnPP]

Even in Victorian workhouses children in poverty were fed. #EatNowtToHelpOut

[Tyler Black, MD @tylerblack32]

Time to continue my new series on #psychwords - psychiatric words sometimes misused in everyday speech. It's time to #EndTheStigma by ensuring we use our words and the meanings behind them correctly.

Last time: "depressed" was the word (link at end)

Today: "Psychotic"
