Had a complete meltdown at work tonight. My manager shared his own struggles w/ me and I was so grateful. Just spent an hour sat on the motorway bridge because I literally felt paralysed to the spot. Trying not to beat myself up. Day by day. Hour by hour. Breath by breath.
So thankful to be able to share my story. #petalsofpositivity 💐

**CALLING ALL FLORISTS — WANT TO SAVE A LIFE? MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE?*** Please contact me if you’d like to be part of this amazing movement that was inspired by a random act of kindness saving my life. Imagine the impact, even if everyone committed to once a year.
Every so often, I feel I’m getting a little bit of ‘me’ back. It’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed cooking. Last night, I made my husbands fave meal, ate by candlelight + talked about how far I’d come. Don’t forget those things that seem little, they’re huge when recovering.
Been made aware of this by my friend that has been waiting for therapy for a long time. If you score 3 or more out of 8 then you likely have a PD apparently. For me, I see reactions to trauma, depression + the cross over of neurodivergence is terrifying. When will we learn?
THIS. 👏 It’s a pretty repetitive cycle for me.
First time back at a train station since that awful day. The thoughts are racing through my mind. I’m so lucky to still be alive. I’m so blessed to have found those flowers. I think I’m happy to be alive. Did I really just say that?
Can MH professionals please stop throwing diagnoses round like confetti. Words are important, diagnoses matter - both to the individual and any subsequent MH professionals providing treatment and care. They are not easily erased. See the person and the context

Heartbroken. “Adjustment disorder” put on my medical records, from a consultant that diagnosed me (wrongly) on the spot after meeting me for 5 minutes. I’m not just a statistic for you to “solve”, I’m a human, a mummy, someone that deserves genuine help.
It upsets me so much to see these comments from a fellow loss parent. I have always been grateful for my living children, but I’ve had 6 miscarriages and a stillbirth and babies don’t replace babies.
I don’t think people understand that when you’re actively suicidal and even on your way to/attempting to end your life that it’s still utterly terrifying. It has been for me, at least. I’m so grateful I’m not in that place currently.
Words from my father in relation to me: “She needs to get her head sorted” “I know she lost Zach, but she should be over it by now” “She just needs to snap out of it” If only it was that easy. If only he knew just how much I was battling. Mental illness, is an illness.
I’m slowly learning what self-care is. For me, it’s not a shower, the grocery shopping or taking the dog for his walk. Those are necessities. For me it’s taking time + space before I get to a crisis point, even while feeling guilty. I’m worthy of rest + care + so are you.
**not an announcement** The 1st time I fell pregnant after A, w/ a mc and 2nd tri loss before her, I thought we’d be okay. The truth? I’d lose 3 more babies before becoming pregnant w/ her brother. The pain of watching tests go negative, is one I’ll never forget.
This might ruffle some feathers… 😅 If you work within the MH system and preach ‘mental health matters’, but don’t think about how your decisions affect patients (even the ‘difficult’ or ‘complex ones’, then it’s not inclusivity, it’s cruel, empty words.
I’ve never known anything like The Priory, Cheadle and I was only there a number of hours. Happy birthday, Beth. I wish you were here to celebrate and I’m sorry that you were let down and didn’t get the care you deserved. Your legacy lives on.

This was back when my first earth-side miracle was 8 months old and I’d returned to work. I saw a quote that said “mothers are expected to work like they don’t parent and parent like they don’t work” and wow, it struck home for me. How has being a working parent been for you?
I’ve been hesitant to share this, but here it goes. Before my admission, I’d gone to the train station to end my life. I arrived + was met with these blooms. They told me that I mattered + held me safe until others arrived. Never underestimate the impact kindness may have.
Just wanted to share an update ✨ I’m now offering pieces on pay what you feel/would like/can afford so that my art is more accessible. Postage will need to be added on top. Sending love ❤️
I really believe some people are supposed to be a part of your journey. Paths were supposed to cross + stories were meant to be shared. Perinatal peer support turned friend, + one I’m extremely thankful for. Regular catch ups that are good for the soul ❤️ @christyleighpsw

I’ve decided I’m going to ring my consultant’s secretary tomorrow to ask if any outcome from my last phone convo with him. I will calmly explain that I am preoccupied with suicide planning and cannot wait June for next professional input. She may just say to call 111 of course
@MamaMichaelax One day at a time Michaela. You are amazingly strong. You will get through this.
@MamaMichaelax How are you feeling now, Michaela? ❤️
@MamaMichaelax Some days it's simply about taking one step at a time. It does get better. Take 10 mins each day to imagine your favourite day dreams as reality. Your own personal mind movies. Being gentle and loving with yourself is today's gift. Remember you are loved💜
@MamaMichaelax Oh no! Sending love. Thank you for sharing. I hope you’re ok. I’ll mention Havening therapy for PTSD as it’s really helped me (no other personal connection). Please get some help. Do you have anyone at home in support? Hugs? Cuppa tea? 💕
Had a complete meltdown at work tonight. My manager shared his own struggles w/ me and I was so grateful. Just spent an hour sat on the motorway bridge because I literally felt paralysed to the spot. Trying not to beat myself up. Day by day. Hour by hour. Breath by breath.
At supermarket - saw a man verbally abusing a cashier. Asked him to stop. He swears at me, says she’s being paid to work there and has to put up with what the customer says. It went on for a while. @AldiUK, is there a way of alerting security to protect your staff sooner please?
@MamaMichaelax What can you do for yourself right now to make yourself feel 1% better ? Just something tiny is still progress
So yesterday I went swimming at my gym did 40 lengths got out the pool had a shower then got into the jacuzzi when I had a cardiac arrest and drowned luckily for me the lady in there grabbed me alerted life guards who got me out shocked me back to life with a defib and cpr ❤️
@MamaMichaelax Sending massive hugs and positivity
@MamaMichaelax Godspeed and Good Luck!!!!
