Have you suffered from post-natal anxiety? Would you be willing to share your experience and thoughts on camera? I?m a broadcast journalist and I?m making a short video with the aim of raising awareness and destigmatising this illness. So many women are suffering alone. I would like to reflect the experience of mums who?ve come out the other side, so that others going through it ? and their families - can identify their symptoms and receive the understanding and support they need.


If you?re up for talking and would like to be a part of this, please PM me with your details and I?ll give you a call, confidentially, to discuss further. NB: I?m doing this because it?s something I feel strongly about. It?s not financed, I?m motivated by my own experience and the need for change.

Hi all


We're filming this Friday in East Dulwich (in a lovely homely environment). I'm still looking for a couple more mums to tell their story. It won't take too long, around one hour and we have allocated filming slots. Anyone who'd like to take part, please PM me! Thanks X

For all those who've been in touch, here is the link to the final edit, released today to mark Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week.


Please do feel free to like & share to your social media pages. We really hope this will speak to so many mums that might be struggling. Thanks Xxx

Thanks Daisy, I've watched, commented, liked and shared. Well done and thank you.

I wonder if you could add some information to the film or the info box about what women can do who might feel this way? Contact the mother and baby unit at their local hospital would be my suggestion as some GPs are not so good at recognising the symptoms of this. I'm working with Kings at the moment to help improve local services for PND/PNA and know that access to useful information is hard, especially when you are in such a state of anxiety and panic.

Thank you again for doing this x

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
