@IamCarrieagain @FionaNaylor2 @DrAnnieHickox I’m 14th (along with Donald Trump 🤬)

@RITB_ @Keirwales I once cut myself quite badly trying to drain the “black satanic blood” I believed I had in my veins.

There is a student nurse currently on placement at CMHT who is so utterly fantastic. Kind, funny, understanding, very caring… is there any way I can make it known to her course how wonderful she has been?

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

@DrHannahBelcher Damn, I was excited for a second. Thought I could hop on a plane and get rid of my severe mental illness…

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

Moved to new flat yesterday. Unpacked and settled in. Woke up at 2am with the walls screaming at me and spent an hour trying to absorb the voices with rice. Took a few diazepam and managed to get back to sleep. Tired but give today. Scared to sleep. Do I tell team tomorrow?

@HelenRPrice Hello, is there any chance that Everything is News might return? Utter comedy genius, have listened to them all dozens of times!

@RyanStringer72 @IamCarrieagain Electroconvulsive therapy. I had twelve very helpful sessions earlier this year.

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

I’m struggling. I’m really, really struggling. Waiting to hear from the team about ECT, chucking back the diazepam and trying really hard to deal with the uncertainty. GP being amazing as always. CMHT say they will call then don’t. Care-co off sick.

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

@IamCarrieagain I think they might have tried phoning once but it’s an unknown number and my paranoia is through the roof so not going to answer.

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

@IamCarrieagain I’m on a lot of medication but still relapsing so they feel that as ECT was so effective, maintenance dosing would be appropriate. CMHT being quite useless tbh. I know it’s a rubbish coincidence that care-co is off but there is no coherent plan.

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

So it looks like maintenance #ECT is in order.

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

Had an appt booked with care-coordinator at 9:30. Was told at 10am that actually I have an appointment with some dr I’ve never met at 3:15… FFS! Have wasted the morning and now will lose the afternoon. Will be working all night to catch up…

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

@DrAnnieHickox @RITB_ @KarenAd89081735 I was on the Northern Line this morning and it was pretty empty! Think everyone thought it would be packed and therefore avoided it.

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

Very excited to see this happen at the European Congress of Endocrinology - well done to all involved (especially @veritypcos and Helena Teede)

[Verity (PMOS UK) @veritypmos]

PCOS has a new name. It will now be known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). A change that accurately reflects the condition affecting 3.1 million women and girls in the UK. This is the largest global engagement ever for a medical name change.

[Verity (PMOS UK) @veritypmos]

What’s next #PMOS #PCOSNameChange

[ABC News @ABC]

PCOS has a new name — Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS for short.

Experts say the old name was misleading, since it suggests ovarian cysts are the main issue when they are not actually a defining feature.

Still get excited when #voting - hope that feeling never leaves me. #elections #righttovote

[Charlotte aux Fraises @ocyours]

Seeing my #GP tomorrow for the first time since returning to work. Going to ask to go on monthly prescriptions - quite a change from the « going to the pharmacy every three days » regime we were on before #ECT 🥳🥳
