Hope this is ok, but think might be genuinely helpful to people here!


I've written a book about postnatal depression called Fine (Not Fine), about my own experiences of PND but also featuring case studies of women (and men) with a range of perinatal mental illnesses (it's not just depression - anxiety, psychosis, OCD, phobia of childbirth). I also was lucky enough to interview some exceptional medical professionals and charities working in the field. In some cases by dint of knowing people, but sometimes completely randomly I found quite a few contributors who happened to live around here, so it feels like a very local project to me. I hope it's of interest/help to some of you or your loved ones.


Big thanks to Dr Christine Langhoff (Dulwich Psychologist) who was one of the professionals I interviewed.

Oh Buggie, didn't realise you are an HV now! Every week on Twitter there is a #pndhour Tweet chat thing, it's on a Wednesday in fact (but I can't join tonight) and last week they did it on health visitors! Might be worth looking up some of the historical Tweets if you're interested.


I interviewed a fantastic psychiatrist (perinatal specialist) in Mile End who was very sympathetic to HVs, saying how stretched they are. Don't know if you already have a post but if you ever see a vacancy in that area I think she would be wonderful to work with!

    • My partner parked in a loading bay in Orpheus Street SE5 to get some heavy items from Cowling & Wilcox Art Supplies for his business. The whole transaction took less than 5 minutes. He came back, loaded and left - with a fine for parking in a loading bay “without loading within 2 minutes”!!  He made an online appeal but it was turned down- letter attached.   I think the main points he contested are;   You can’t walk to C&W, pick up a box and walk back in 2 minutes, so how can ‘evidence of loading be seen’ in that time? They were not ‘general domestic shopping.’ They were bulky and heavy. The vehicle was moved immediately on returning to it with the goods. So, he met ALL the criteria they have stipulated as reasons for issuing the PCN. If anyone has successfully or unsuccessfully  appealed against a similar loading bay fine do let me know, thanks! 
    • JoJo is turning into, a…. Charity shop! I asked in there this morning. 
    • Does it all come down to this, sex? Live your life as you want to enjoy it, because none of us know what the next curved ball life is going to throw at us, here one minute and quite literally, gone the next. It can and does happen everyday. Enjoy life to the MAX.
