Louise Thompson broke down in tears as she told fans she was finally feeling herself again after her devastating struggle with PTSD and anxiety.
The brave Made In Chelsea legend opened up about her tough recovery from PTSD after the traumatic birth of her son. She penned an emotional letter about it on Instagram. Louise, 33, has been troubled by a number of health issues since giving birth to her and Ryan Libbey's son Leo-Hunter in December 2021. Addressing her fans in an emotional post on social media, she said: "Here’s a reminder that a lot can change in a year.
"A lot can change in 6 months. Indeed a lot can change in a month but it’s hard to witness the change until you create some sizeable distance from it." The reality TV favourite was in tears as she told fans of her progress after such a personal struggle. Louise said: "I’m crying writing this. I’m feeling very emotional today. I can’t lie it feels nice to purge my pain. I encourage you to try writing and crying too.Sometimes it helps.

Don’t give up. Because there will be a time when you will want to wear a pretty party dress again. You will shine again."
Louise spoke candidly about what she had been going through. She said she had done a complete u-turn in her thinking after her own harrowing experience. Louise said: "I hated all that nonsense about happy girls being the prettiest girls because it’s not always easy to be happy. But I promise you that over time the pain inside you will die down and you will have good thoughts again.

"And if Roald Dahl’s words are anything to go by then those thoughts will start to shine out of your face like sunbeams. I now have moments where I truly feel more lovely than ever before. And my perspective continues to change as each new month passes. It’s cool. I’m learning so much."
Louise's troubles began earlier this year, when the reality star said she thought she was "going to die" during her terrifying hospital trip as she lost "a lot of blood". Her fiancé Ryan, 32, said she'd "haemorrhaged at home, again". He said she was "rushed to hospital for surgery" and was monitored for four days before returning home.
Louise spoke about her hospital visit in a lengthy caption on Instagram, alongside a video of a "burning ritual" at her home. She wrote in the caption: "Gosh the last few days have been a rollercoaster. From thinking I was going to die again, to being allowed home all in the space of a few days. What a whirlwind. Not sure I'm quite ready to digest it to be honest.
"Emergency scenarios are a wild ride. You get no prep time. It's just bam, zero to hero in a matter of minutes … or hours if you're lucky. It does strange things to your mind."
She later slammed trolls who thought she should 'snap out' of PTSD.
