Andrea’s Postpartum Psychosis Episode Out of the Blue
The fourth day after the birth of my first baby was the start of my meltdown. I had no history or mental health issues. Confusion, extreme anxiousness and terror mounted and I hadn’t slept for four days. It happened suddenly and severely, within hours. I was manic and couldn’t walk, talk or think. I held my phone but couldn’t work out how to call for help.
Over two weeks, I had delusions and scribbled notes franticly. My mind was spiralling yet I had moments of clarity. My thoughts raced so fast, I developed a stutter. I felt like a baby re-learning how to eat, walk and talk. It was exhausting. I couldn’t read or watch TV and was terrified by people moving or speaking too fast; I couldn’t process thoughts quickly enough to understand. I was learning how to care for my baby at the same time as trying to survive myself.
I was scared I’d be separated from my baby. I wanted information but nothing was explained to me as they thought I was crazy. Severe depression developed. I was numb and rarely left the house.
It took a year to bond with my baby and I was suicidal for three months. After two years I made a full recovery but chose not to have more children.

Personal storiesCIRCUS by Sarah Spring
Roll up, roll up, I am the ringmaster. Marvel at my commands and ready wit, Beast and man dumb before me, lapping my pronouncements like poisoned condensed milk. No question who is in charge. I am taller than the tent pole, Wider than the tent. Roll up, roll up, and see the shocking show.
Roll up, roll up, I am the strongman, Wondrous strength, both arms raised with bagfuls of books. Tearing and ripping furnishings, Withstanding the brute force of 40-plus stone of sinew bonehouse. Barracading myself from the enemy, I am invincible. Roll up, roll up, and see the shocking show.
Roll up, roll up, I am the caged oddity, Psychic savant, possessing the meaning of life. Soul soars, while body stoops and mouth dribbles. Eyes stare with defiance and burn with knowledge beyond vision. Who dares challenge the seer? Watch me hug to death the pulse from my secret. Roll up, roll up, and see the shocking show.
