2 wholes YEARS 🎉… 2 years since the worst time of my life, when I was ready to end it all by jumping off a bridge and got sectioned. I’m happy, I’m healthy and I’m proud of my progress. Things really do get better, I never thought I’d get here. To good health always 🥂❤️

My little sister has just turned 18 and works in a care home, she has decided to give up Christmas this year to do overtime to spend it with her favourite resident who has dementia and isn’t going home. Shes even bought him a Christmas present. So proud of how pure her heart is💓

Last year I tried to take my own life, was severely depressed and had no hope and was adamant suicide was the only way out. This year I’m doing my dream job, have a mortgage, mentally stable and excited for the future. Things do get better and there is hope I promise ❤️

Can’t believe today is my 4 year anniversary of joining the Ambulance Service. I’ve progressed in my job and grown as a person. I’ve seen unimaginable things, been through a breakdown and was going to take my own life. I’ve made friends for life, but most of all I’m happy🚑 🥂

Actually shocked and saddened that we ended up finishing shift on a hoax call. We drove 3.5 miles in 6 minutes to what we thought was someone hanging, to find out it was indeed a hoax. In total, 6 police and ambulance vehicles on scene and tied up for absolutely no reason. Awful.

This picture was taken 5 HOURS before I was going to jump off a bridge. Never judge a book by its cover. No one saw how deeply sad I was, but now I can see it in my eyes in this picture. Excited to get back to work tomorrow to help people just like I was helped❤️🚑 #MentalHealth

There needs to be a law preventing people from filming emergency services dealing with incidents. Fed up of people filming when we're dealing with vulnerable people and tragic scenes, all for likes and shares on social media. I should have the right to not be filmed😤

The killing of an unarmed Black man by a police officer is hard to bear. Especially when young Black men die disproportionately at the hands of the police [source: Inquest]. The Queen's death is dominating the news right now, but Chris Kaba deserves our attention. (2/3)
