Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has recovered from, or knows someone who has recovered from, postnatal psychosis? I'm a writer and close friend of someone who has just been diagnosed with pp. Seeing her go through these terrifying initial stages has prompted me to write an article about the illness. It seems very little appears in the public eye and very few people have heard of pp, as opposed to pnd which is relatively well known about now.


I am looking to speak to someone who has been through this experience and got better as I think a positive story to include in the article might help other sufferers. The article would be for Grazia magazine.

If you or someone you know might be happy to talk to me further, please email me or reply to the thread. I'm looking to speak to anyone who is interested tomorrow.

Thanks a lot,

Daisy

Dear Daisy,


If you contact the RCN or the Royal College of Midwives, or even google to see if there is a specialised charity to raise awareness of this issue, you may find that they can put you in contact with an expert patient. This is a terrifying illness, but most midwives will have seen it.


Best wishes,

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
