Thank you RCPsych Books for this award - I’m overcome!
Sadly I wasn’t able to be in Wales, but had a lovely weekend in the city of the most famous psychiatrist ever!

Heading home from RCPsych National Resident Doctors’ Conference - some really lovely comments about my talk & met some great people, thank you!
But best of all were the comments about my jeans…

Lots of discussion about causes & treatment of mental illness on social media.
Mine is a tale of what happened to me, not of the rights & wrongs. That’s why I ask you to read it - not to prove anything, just to hear my story.
And take from it what you will.

An old picture of my mother with her brother, who died this morning at 83. Perhaps not the happiest of lives, none of us knew him well, & he wasn’t easy. I think myself that he may well have had bipolar disorder. I hope he rests in peace.

My youngest daughter was in Cambridge today - & guess what she saw!
She even looks rather like me before I got old & she got blonde!! (Sorry Clara! X)
Most of all I’m so grateful that she was so pleased (?proud!) to see my book! ❤️
