I don’t think anything will beat this week, I’m so truly proud of myself. Thinking of me 2 years ago who was so lost and saw no future, to now - in my final year of uni, speaking at RCPsych, invited to TheRoyalFoundation event etc… hard work and determination paid off🥹

2 years ago today I visited uni with staff from the ward I had been on for nearly a year. Today I am sat in my uni halls working on my dissertation with graduation in sight later this year. I also accepted my masters offer yesterday🥹
My determination is paying off ❤️ 👩🎓 🎓

Today we attended the last learning set for the Demand Capacity & Flow QI collaborative at RCPsych.
I have been able to input from a LEx perspective and have learnt so much over the 18 months.
I am proud of CNS for the work they continue to do around DCF.

Today was a day where I have felt so genuinely proud of myself.
Stepping foot back into a ward, but this time as a ‘professional’. It was a firm reminder of the progress I have made over the past 3 years.
I don’t think the person I once was would quite believe where I am now❤️

My changing body 100%, but looking back it’s due to the fact my struggle was no longer ‘visible’. My sick body was my way of communicating I wasn’t ok. I didn’t know how else to communicate, it all makes sense since my autism diagnosis. Communication was always difficult for me.

My part B psych results got released today and I’m so pleased I got a 2:1, even after getting too overwhelmed&leaving my sem1 exams (I’ll be resitting). 5 years of uni and this is the first year I’ve not ended up in hospital. It shows with hard work&determination, it’s possible🥰

If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated … how do I communicate with nurses/drs on a general ward as someone who is autistic. I’m presented with so many options and decisions but can come up with an answer. I sometimes just cannot speak and shut down.

I think things are actually moving in the right direction!! I’ve not had a serious hypo for around a week, I’ve got my leave, tube is not being used near as much, but most importantly - I’m still trying my hardest knowing that I have a life still waiting to be lived🩷

NHS ‘care’ is such a postcode lottery - after reading my medical notes from my general hospital stay, I have never been so relieved to be back in Cheshire.
There’s so much I want to say but I have no words to describe the way I feel about how everything was dealt with.

What an amazing team!
I believe they are going to be so beneficial to keep people in area (which I’m a big advocate for) and reintegrate SU’s back in area
After meeting MHIST a few months back to speak in one of their meetings, I could see what an amazing asset they are to CWP👏🏼
"We work really closely and intensively with people who access the service. The people and their families are able to get to know the practitioners and work on goals that are important to them."

Such a thought provoking, inspiring, and insightful few days.
It was amazing to hear from so many incredible people within this field and the different work/research going on.

Definitely starting to feel like myself again. Despite being discharged with no plan- im so grateful for the ppl doing what they can so I never have to end up back in general. Im quite a pro @ bouncing back. Im holding onto all my reasons to push through & get enough nutrition.

THIS! A reply of ‘I’m a psychiatrist’ to the question ‘do you understand autism’ isn’t a valid answer imho. Everyone is so different with different experiences. Maybe try and understand from the persons perspective before making assumptions.

I still haven’t really processed the past few months yet.
I went to say bye to my cco today as I returned home when I left hosp again on Fri.
Sadly I have put uni on hold again which I will be doing from home next year. I’m so sad that my uni experience ended this way.

I often spend time thinking about all I have achieved since discharge from an OOA placement (after many admissions).
I always think, being discharged is like after passing your driving test, you learn and flourish the most once you put the skills learnt into action *yourself*.

I was here for 12 months, I ended up discharging myself - I reached BIP (50 I think). Went home every week, went on leave every day, was living in the flats but still the discharge was AMA as the dr said I didn’t go in the community enough😶 I knew it was the right time …

I can’t lie, the last few days seeing my uni’s graduations posts have been hard. I should’ve graduated last year however I was in hospital for the majority of my 2 year LOA
I just keep reminding myself how much I’ve achieved since discharge & next year that will be me graduating

There is a fine line of staying somewhere beyond necessary and the frustration. It was the best decision I ever made as I had never thrived as much as when I did on discharge and proved them wrong. I also saw far too often people having a blip and struggling to build BIP up again

The ‘label’ can be changed over and over but the struggles stay the same for the individual
No matter what the ‘label’ is, if people don’t get access to the right support the name doesn’t matter
Consistency,validation,connection etc (basic needs) is needed over a new ‘label’

Alongside the content, a real highlight for me was how it didn’t feel like ‘us’ and ‘them’. There was lots of acknowledgement of how important the LEx voice is.
It was also incredibly inspiring to hear from others with LEx and the work they’re doing (esp
@melanieanneball
- wow)

My hair was looking brassy so I put my usual toner drops in my conditioner to tone it down but my adhd got the better of me and I got distracted… I left it on for over an hour instead of 10-30 mins, now I have very purple hair😳🫣I’m laughing but I wanna cry😂😂

Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to positively influence the system.. the past 5 weeks have taught me a lot.. my views have been consistently dismissed and drs who have never met me have come to conclusions so far from the truth.. having insight is both a blessing & a curse.

Rotten night, sent for xray at 1am to find my tube was wayyyy too far into my stomach. Didn’t get to sleep until 3am - I think a lot of caffeine is needed today (in moderation I guess) parents are bringing my gazillion parcels I’ve ordered tho😅🫶🏼 need the dopamine.

Today marks 15 months of freedom since my last admission. It feels v surreal looking back as I was at constant war with myself
Considering I had to leave AMA, I think it’s pretty fair to say I’ve proved a lot of people wrong. I’ve achieved things I once never saw possible

Time to put these notes down as I don’t need other peoples interpretations to help guide me into MY future. I don’t need their validation. I am more than my historic diagnoses.
I may have been physically unwell for a few months but that isn’t going to define my present/future.
