A mum whose postpartum psychosis made her think her mother-in-law was plotting against her told how she had symptoms for two years after recovery.
But since her six-week episode, Charity has suffered from 'breakthrough symptoms' - symptoms that emerge during treatment. A less talked about part of recovery, she found herself still found herself being angry towards her mother-in-law and experiencing paranoia. "Even though I was fully recovered by the time we started therapy, you can get breakthrough symptoms. There were bitter feelings and confusion if my mother-and-law did those things to do to me.
"When you've got psychosis you think your reality is actually what's happened. You feel torn between thinking that it's real and knowing you've got a mental health condition." "I kept thinking they were going to die. Because we'd had a miscarriage the previous year and I just thought that these three little babies were going to die.
"When I got really unwell before I got the medication, I wasn't sure whether I loved them or not but even though I clearly did because I was overly paranoid about their wellbeing. I'd just lost complete control of everything."
