Happy photo of a new Mum. True but @MbuNottingham when I was ill with Postpartum Psychosis. I'm sectioned & in a locked ward but with my baby, we are both safe with 24hr care.
@actiononpp provide advice & support to mothers & families. #MaternalMHMatters #ThePowerOfConnection

[Lydia @LydiaGardner1]

I had post partum psychosis. Twice. I went psychotic and lost control of my mind. My hubby had to nurse the babies. It was extremely frightening. Support @ActionOnPP 🙌🙌

[Academic Ideas Lab @ideaslabproject]

Great work today by #RipOffBritain @RNID @BBCOne on the lack of captioned cinema screenings. A report we did for @OnBlindness and @BFI showed the low number of audio described screenings, poorly maintained equipment & a lack of training. Cinema & streaming should be #accessible !
