Louise Thompson took to Instagram on Sunday to share a different kind of New Years post as she revealed to her followers that she would like to say goodbye to all the suffering she endured throughout 2022.
The former Made In Chelsea star took to Instagram to post a sweet photo of her and her beloved son.
However, the blurry image was a hint to followers about how the stars year has felt as she started off the New Years post caption with ‘A snapshot to sum up my year, a blur’.
Continuing the emotional post, she added: ‘I wrote a reflective caption which I lined up to post yesterday but I haven’t felt brave enough to share it. Maybe tomorrow, but for today just a big fat kiss goodbye to the worst year of my life.
‘I’m sure a lot of you will have something to say about that sentiment, but I’ve gone ahead and said it anyway. I can’t lie.’
Worst year of my life: Louise Thompson took to Instagram on Sunday to share a different kind of New Years post as she revealed to her followers that she would like to say goodbye to all the suffering she endured throughout 2022
‘Obviously connecting with my beautiful son and laughing with him has provided me with a joy like no other (and also in a weird contradictory way made it the best year of my life). There’s no doubt that the joy has been amplified by the extreme suffering at the other end of the spectrum.’
She also continued to tell her fans about how she plans to cope with her trauma, adding: ‘But that doesn’t take away from the fact that there has been a hell of a lot of suffering. I’d like to say goodbye to all the suffering.
‘I think I’m ready to say goodbye. I’m going to finally try some proper trauma therapy.’
She continued with ‘It’s been a whole year since I tried it and yes it 100% spun me out of reality and into a place where I totally lost control of my mind but I think I need to revisit it to properly move forward.
‘I’m better equipped to handle things now. I have a bit of a routine and some safe structures around me. Plus worst case scenario I just check myself in somewhere to get help (kind of mad that this hasn’t already happened). I guess because I yoyo from feeling good to chronically bad to good again I never quite get around to it.

‘Plus I’m too scared. I don’t want to use up all my resources and be left with nothing else to try. Oh and of course I have to put the needs of someone else first now ☺️ and I can’t bare any more time spent without my little fuzzy. Anyway, to summarise… I’d really like to feel a little LESS in the new year.’
Finishing the emotional post, Louise wrote: ‘It might sound weird but I desperately want to live a more muted experience of the world. Less wild ups and downs. More cruising and a bit more relaxing. I’m not that happy with this current paradigm so I’m going to keep making changes. I’m not going to give up trying. I have tried a lot, but there is still more to try.’
‘To anyone else out there that has had a tricky one, I wish you all the luck for this new one and remember you are not alone. It’s certainly not all rainbows.’
The New Years post comes after the TV personality suffered from PTSD and postnatal anxiety after nearly dying when giving birth to her son Leo, in November 2021, as a result of experiencing ‘intense traumatic incidences in such close proximity of one another.’
Louise also admitted that during one week in January her battle with post traumatic stress and postnatal anxiety caused her to cry up to 20 times.
The star has been honest with her fans about her daily struggles, revealing at points that the anxiety felt ‘inexplicable’ but now she’s learning to ‘make sense of it.’
Louise, who often calls son Leo her ‘little miracle baby’, manages to control her anxiety, and after obsessively checking her temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate, is able to go about her normal, daily routine.
