These True Colours..

Laurie. 23. Mummy to Malachi. In a relationship. Cut free since 10/1/15. Diagnosis: Severe, Recurring, Major Depressive Disorder with anxiety, fatigue (post exertional malaise) & dissociative symptoms. Mild bipolar type 2. Polysexual. Recovered from Postnatal Depression. I have been involved in various secondary care services as an outpatient and received psychodynamic psychotherapy at Blenheim Terrace psychotherapy service, I've had intense CBT/DBT at the Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders (YCED) and received care from a psychiatrist, CPN & occupational therapist at The Mount Perinatal Mental Health Unit along where I also participated in art psychotherapy and various group therapies. I have been assessed at the CFS unit (where I was told I am very fatigued but cannot be diagnosed with cfs as I don't have any other ME symptoms). I am now under the care of a psychiatrist and another CPN through CMHT. I've never been sectioned although in March 2015 I was offered inpatient for a week which I declined. It's a hard fucking road but I'll get through this!! This is my recovery blog.
