Instagram post 2245817590190420007_3318790589 NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE - . Amidst all of the horror of the weekend, I am shocked to see that all the ‘support’ going out is from #charities. . @mindcharity @samaritanscharity @heads_together. . They can offer great support yes. . But we, the tax payer, the worker, the contributor to society pay for the #nhs. . Why are @nhsenglandldn @nhsenglandimprovement @nhsmillion NOT at the forefront of this tragedy with @carolineflack telling people where IMMEDIATE HELP is available. . I work in CAMHS. If a child has reported suicidal thinking to a parent and teacher, a social worker. CAMHS ARE the go to. Whether in A&E or in local services within a day. . THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SERIVCE. Nurses, Doctors, Psychiatrists, therapists, available to support someone. Adult and children services respond quickly. . If they don’t. Contact your local PALS (patient advice and liaison service). . You can shout and scream about how great a service is that is charitable. But not shout and scream to the people that hold the power to account?! . Complain about the absence of mental health support if you are not receiving it. . I know my patients don’t get the treatment the require within a reasonable time frame. Which makes me angry. But no one listens to me. No one listens to Doctors or Therapists explaining the waiting lists are too long and the treatments offered are too short. . But EVERY LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE HAS A CRISIS SERVICE. . If you feel you have not been heard and have to go to use a charitable organisation for help, this is because the NHS is #underfunded. . Without shouting about it. It will disappear. . Charities will take over. But they don’t have the years and years of experience and skill that the NHS does. . Use your local services. . This should be shouted from the rooftops. When you don’t get what you think you need. COMPLAIN. . #angry #charityisgreat #youpayforthenhs #ipayforthenhs #celebratethenhs #mentalhealthservices #camhs #nhsengland #tellpeoplewhattodo #powex #mentalhealthnurse #personaltrainer @itv @itv2 @bbc @channel4 @jeremyvineon5 @conservatives @borisjohnsonuk
Instagram post 2245016423608635467_3318790589 WHAT DOES LIFE MEAN? . Still so sad and angry about #carolineflack. . Something that stands out to me so much is all the pictures of her beaming smiling face. That would not have been the case in the build up to what has happened. . This world of horrid nastiness comes from a place of comparison, ugly bullying and people making someone feel that utterly useless, unloved, meaningingless, hopeless. . Flying over somewhere like #atlasmountains puts into perspective how small a part of the world we really are. The world is vast and Caroline Flack dropped into a hole where she couldn’t see that whatever she was facing... . 1. Could pass 2. Wouldn’t be forever 3. If she took herself out of the difficulty away from the world (with support), her mind may have seen the wider picture. . Caroline’s shit, whatever it was...could have been removed from her if she allowed it. But she clearly couldn’t. . The weather may be shit today but if you think there is no way out....go for a walk, to a space that puts things into perspective. . Don’t be consumed by your stuff because IT WILL PASS. . Everyone has stuff. . If it feels like there is no out GO TO #nhsA&E. . #sad #perspective #trollbastards #gossipfuckers #takeyourselfout #bigwideworld
Instagram post 2244567462657663127_3318790589 MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. . @nhsmillion @nhsenglandldn @uk_gov @borisjohnsonuk. . Why is there not better help for all. . I am leaving my job that I’ve worked so hard for with incredible expertise because I see such depressing and miserable cases who have complex histories and have not been able to access help. . I’m good at my job. . Do your fucking job and fund mental health services so there is not a year waiting list for psychotherapy, a year waiting list for an ASC assessment, a 6 month wait for CB fucking T. . This is a systemic issue. @carolineflack you should have been able to get help for feeling so shit. . But you wouldn’t have ‘met criteria’ because you could ‘afford therapy!!?’. . When you feel as bad to actually end your life. No therapy is happening morons @conservatives . It’s too late. . Why could she not find the right help before? . Because it doesn’t exist. . This is utterly shit. . #rip #sad #shock #carolineflack #mentalhealthservices #nhsfailure #mediafuckers #outragous #cantfuckingbeleiveit #mentalhealthnurse #dobetteruk
Instagram post 2235700252434696193_3318790589 MONDAY - . Another day. . February. . All January goals out the window? . Well, I didn’t make any, so my goals are still going strong. . 1. Be a mum. 2. Stay fit. 3. Stay well. 4. Try and live a balanced life. 5. Worry about me and my world in my lane. . #powex #health #wellness #toiletselfie #februarygoals #realchange #nochange #prebabyclothes #london #knightsbridge #whatsyourgoals #forgettheirgoals #makeyourown
Instagram post 2234876865026131693_3318790589 GOLD MEDAL - . Yup. For me. I ran. On the morning of my birthday. Still hungover. Tired. . But. It makes me feel good. My head is still full of gumph, but cold fresh air and moving means I’ve blowed some cobwebs away. . What do you get a gold star for? . #powexhealth #birthday #goldmedal #hurray #running #postpartumrunning #feelgoodrunning #pt #hungover #nurse #fitmum #home
Instagram post 2228324529466057168_3318790589 FRIDAY - . Back to work, ‘newbies’ very keen to tell me about what they know. Yes that’s great. But I’ve been doing this for 15 years. You’re here to observe. I’m not an expert. And I really don’t have the brain capacity to tell you everything I’ve learned in the last 15 years. . So I’ll just nod along and let them talk. . So different to the parent drama. We don’t want ‘experts parents’ telling us how to do things. Probably because they don’t know the situation really. And because it is a small attack on our own confidence. . I guess the funny thing is. I’m #confident in not knowing everything in my job. I can’t. An assessment with a new patient (2 yesterday) very complex cases means I’m not going to get to the bottom of things for a while. . Parenting however, you think you have to get it right first time and show confidence with it. . Maybe the key is to feel more confident in saying you’re not an expert and you’re not confident. Then people’s expectations will shift. . @annamathur post this morning is very much on the same lines, just because you didn’t get it ‘right’ doesn’t mean you failed. It means you can work it out differently next time. . #powex #mentalhealth #wellbeing #expert #nurse #personaltrainer #nhsnurse #parenttalk #fitmum #backtoworkmum #imnottheexpert #learning #openness #think #mindbody #illustrationnotmine
Instagram post 2227593127170823387_3318790589 DECEPTION - . Images like this make you think a place is like this all the time. Imagery like this means that we have perfectionist ideas of what the world should look like. . I love a good image but perfection isn’t real. . This mornings journey into work (#london) has been disgusting. A billion cars, traffic, now on the tube. The train I could get from home is extortionate. . HOW DID I EVER THINK THIS WAS NORMAL? . Nearly 2 hours to get to work. That right now I don’t care about because I don’t feel that anyone there cares about me. . My tiny human is sick, I want to look after her. Not someone else’s child. . Stopping working to become a stay at home mum has always felt like a difficult decision because we are meant to have it all. . I can tell you now. I’ll just take one, raising my own child, well. I am lucky to be able to make a choice about staying at home. But to be miserable just from your journey to work is a very bad start to a day. . #powex #life #mentalhealth #stayathomemum #backfrommaternityleave #tfl #londonisgross #picturesarefake #fakenews #miserablemorning #raisingchildren
