If you have hand tremors, highly recommend these weighted gloves.

I wouldn’t have been able to sew the cat toy or color in a coloring book today without the them.

They’re very helpful! Got them from a small business on Amazon.

They do not come with all the cat hair 😄

Great news.
I would love to see the outcome of the review go one step further to include nurses. Dr Navina Evans

EAP were unable to offer anything other than to answer my call. A few weeks later I was detained. My only stressor: redeployment. (Ironic I was off work for 3 months I…

Art exhibition in #Essex in October based on trauma.
Here we have representation of how my brain feels frazzled from it's impact.
I know it isn't particularly 'hopeful' but then #Trauma can often take that away. Along with so many pieces of us.

Apart from Tuesdays (1:1 art psychotherapy) I spent 6/7 days waking up to my internal clock (mainly somewhere between 4 and 7 am) whilst an inpatient.

The fear now of having responsibilities again, slightly odd sleeping patterns and not wanting to miss my alarm are all something…

6 Powerful Truths About Life:

Trying to prepare for my upcoming interview.

Plagued with self doubt about my ability to answer questions and 'sell myself'.

Followed by how I will cope with uncertainty and then possible disappointment afterwards.

I feel a little fragile...

No one prepares you for how…

One doctor takes their life every three weeks and a nurse takes their life every single week, to remove a service without a published review or equality impact assessment is reckless. . Please sign this open letter

When we gather in a space, share our thoughts & feelings, and we listen equally to each other, then we're able to feel the power of our common humanity.

Key reflection from #Quality2024 ?

That such mutual listening & care are more essential now than ever. #SpacesForListening

I want us to be able to look into families' eyes when we say 'lessons will be learned' and know this to be true. I keep reading the same inquest reports, year after year, decade on decade.

'Blank face observations' reminiscent of Tronick's 'still face experiment' -the lack of response causing babies to become angry, confused, care-seekin and near catatonic before giving up. There are effects even from one go that can be picked up in stress response months later.

The last few days have been a bit of a struggle.
Being on my own (through choice) has made me realise just how far I have to go.
Watching Bow play with the rabbit that accompanied me through from the first day that I walked into A&E has been emotive - in a good way though.

En route to #Trieste and full of excitement and hope but also nervous as stakes are higher this time. Actual NHS pilots being planned and a real chance that by the end of this year we will be offering something very different to mental health services now...

I have worked with NHS Practitioner Health for almost a decade. First as a clinical lead and now as a psychiatrist. A CQC-rated Outstanding service. We need to care for our NHS staff so they can care for their patients.

Why is it that with #mentalillness ( #mentalhealth ) and #suicide (and #Cancer ) we talk about people as warriors and survivors? And using language such as battling and struggling?

We wouldn't use the same terms if it were diabetes, heart disease or a fractured bone.

We wouldn't…

Tina - The Best Girl There Ever Was 🎾🩷

So many people ask me who Tina was as when I shared her story I think I had about half the followers I do now. I’ve had loads of footage on my phone of private moments with her that I always look at every night before bed and I wanted to…

I miss you. And it f*cking hurts.
It hurts so much that in the space of my hospital admission you were diagnosed with cancer and you died. You held that from me. I found out on the day of your funeral. You thought you were protecting me; I am sure. But I didn't get a chance to…
