Louise Thompson has revealed she is struggling to leave the house as she battles Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after nearly dying giving birth to her son Leo Hunter.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 31, took to Instagram on Wednesday evening to say she has 'had a few hard days' as she continues to recover from her five week stay in intensive care.
Louise, who welcomed her first child with fiancé Ryan Libbey in November, said she has found some comfort in flower arranging as she shared a variety of bouquets and talked about her hopes to 'push for normality', however hard that might be.
Tough: Louise Thompson has revealed she is struggling to leave the house as she battles Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after nearly dying giving birth to her son Leo Hunter
The television personality penned: 'Gosh it's been a hard few days, but we're still here and we're still putting one foot in front of the other not giving up hope for a better and brighter future… mental health is so strange because it's invisible, so only words can make sense of it to others.
'Anyway, yesterday there were a few beautiful hours including bath time with Leo and a big roast chicken for dinner. I keep pushing for more 'normality' even though it feels really really hard. Right now I don't even want to leave the house.
'I haven't actually worn makeup or snazzy clothes for a while (very unlike me) so instead I thought I'd post some pictures of some of the beautiful flowers that I've received or bought and have enjoyed arranging. One of my favourite past times.'
