A huge thank you to all the staff on the Yorkshire and Humber Mother and Baby Unit @lypft_perinatal @LeedsandYorkPFT for supporting me through my recovery. This is why I am running the #LeedsHalfMarathon tomorrow @runforall. Here is my story:

A little close to the line in places but overall a humorous & inspiring performance from #BGT finalist #AlexMitchell yesterday evening in Leeds. Mitchell approaches his #FND, #autism, #mentalhealth & #sexuality with humour, proving that disability need not hold you back in life.

Pacing is for life, not just races! Especially if you have a health condition like NEAD. Easier said than done... https://t.co/k2a1Q7Mwy7

Great atmosphere at the #Leeds10K yesterday. A big thank you to everyone who helped organise and run it and to the pacers who were fantastic. @runforall

When a teaspoon is the weight of a car... A little inspiration from @OfficialBlueyTV on those moments when life feels a touch heavy...

@Pandas_uk This is my perinatal mental health recovery story and the reason why I am running the Leeds Half Marathon tomorrow: https://t.co/mmrcqKi79g I would be grateful if you could share this.

@YWHelp When is this going to be fixed?

[Action on Postpartum Psychosis @ActionOnPP]

Feel like your partner or friend is not themselves?
Be the friend they need - help make an urgent appointment with their Doctor, Midwife or call 111. If you think there is imminent danger, call 999. With help they will recover.

@stephhegarty I'm not a doctor but this definitely sounds reminiscent of #FND and #NEAD #PNES... #LongCovid highlights the common misconception that suggesting a link between mental health and physical health is denying real symptoms.

Encouraging away day today with our Perinatal Mental Health team in Leeds. Amazing to look back and see how far #perinatalmentalhealth support has come. Excited about opportunities to develop #peersupport further on the MBU and for future developments within our service. #LYPFT

[Ruth @RuthNPike]

As ever, such a need for more investment in mental health. Early intervention is so important especially with children.
