Four years ago today I set up a theatre company. Yes, on Christmas Eve because apparently I really didn't have anything else to do(?!). Anyway, I owe a lot to Moon House Theatre and the amazing people who are involved in it. Here's to 2021 being our best year yet!

🌟 IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY 🌟 Here's to four years of making weird and wonderful Greek theatre magic!

What a year it has been! Thank you for all of your support 🌟

Sean Fletcher "I realised there are so many people like us who are struggling in the same way we did." Sean Fletcher has revealed both how debilitating the condition has been for his teenage son Reuben and how it has highlighted wider concerns about mental health services.

Reuben developed mental health problems during adolescence, which was diagnosed as obsessive compulsive disorder, a condition where you have recurring thoughts and repetitive behaviours you cannot control. 💬 “He was unable to get out of bed, brush his teeth or feed himself."

Reuben was out of school for a year – and at one stage ended up in hospital for six months – but it took the best part of a year even to be seen by the right clinician. 💬 “I had no idea it would take us so long. Now I’m hearing everyone else is in this situation."

The father and son made a BBC Panorama programme about their experience, Kids in Crisis, in September 2018. Then, half a million children were either waiting for mental health treatment or receiving it. 🔴 Fletcher is sceptical about whether anything has changed.

The Fletchers kept quiet about Reuben’s illness for years. 🔴 Now he advises anyone at the start of “the tunnel”, as he describes it, to be open and talk about any problems before they are consumed by them.

Reuben, now 19, is happier and healthier as a result of medication and therapy. 💬 “He’s doing well. We’re worried sick, but we’re really happy about that because where we were before, I could never have imagined we’d be here now.”

Such a great article on the debilitating impact of OCD and the struggle so many people face. Thank you to Sean Fletcher and Reuben for sharing their story ❤️

HAPPY PRIDE! 🌟🏳️‍🌈
