      Here are some things that have kept me feeling better… and by better I mean more connected to reality.<br> Poorly: Louise Thompson shared her tips for ‘feeling better’ and staying ‘connected to reality’ while being in hospital on her Instagram Story on Thursday<br> Oh no!

      The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, reveal she was back in hospital due to an ‘unexpected situation’ as she dealt with another health problem<br>’When I was last in hospital for an extended period (felt like an eternity) I really detached from reality and couldn’t even turn on a phone or concentrate on anything for longer than a minute.

      I’ve learnt a lot from that experience.<br>’TRY TO STAY CONNECTED AND CONTINUE AS NORMAL. Gosh, last time I even thought eating a chocolate Lindor ball that my brother bought me was going to kill me so I had to spit it out.'<br>She continued: ‘Talk to whoever you can find.

      Whether that’s nurses (don’t be offended if they’re at capacity and have to run off), family members over the phone, friends on WhatsApp, strangers on Instagram.<br>’ANYTHING TO DISTRACT YOUR MIND. It might feel really weird messaging people about such significant life threatening events as if they’re daily activities, but for me it has helped normalising (or making logic) of what has happened and talking about it this time around.<br>’Last time I think I waited until my brain had made sense of what had happened until I opened up to people or saw people and that was a LONG TIME to wait.’ <br>Louise revealed she broke down into tears after speaking with one friendly man who worked for a charity.  <br>She continued: ‘I spoke to a really sweet man with the charity sweetie trolley and he made me cry because he was so nice.<br>’Take a selfie.

      It might sound weird or vain but good to remember what you look like. A quick glance in the mirror reaffirms our sense of self.<br> Advice: The reality star wrote from her hospital bed: ‘What a whirlwind.

      Here are some things that have kept me feeling better… and by better I mean more connected to reality'<br> ‘What a whirlwind’: Louise told fans to try and eat something, talk to whoever you can, take a selfie and brush their teeth to try and stay in the real world<br> Opening up: The TV personality also revealed she has been brushing her teeth this time in hospital after last time she was left with ‘brown spots around her gum line'<br>’Viewing your ‘self’ in the mirror is an everyday lived experience for many outside the hospital.

      I developed a fear of mirrors after being in the hospital for so long last time, so not letting that happen again.’ <br>She also added that her ‘senses’ are really important at bringing her ‘back to reality and normality’ whether that’s through food or perfume. <br>’Eat something as soon as you’re allowed.
      Taste is one of the BEST senses and we wanna bring ourselves back to reality and normality’, she added.<br>’I think for me using my senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) as much as poss is important. On that note I could do with some fragrance, honestly the sweat that my body expels when on all the iv meds is horrendous<br>’I’ve just realised how weird it is that I’m writing all these hospital ‘tips’ as if anyone else is actually going to go through the same weird experience as me.<br>’This might just help, ME.

      Ps. I’m bored (which is a good sign because it means I’m not super ill)’.<br>  Scary: She didn’t reveal the exact medical issue but gave her followers the advice she has learnt from her experiences<br>It comes after Louise revealed on Wednesday that t. <br>She took a picture from her hospital bed and wrote: ‘We were supposed to be flying to St Lucia this morning.'<br>She admitted: ‘I am so upset that we aren’t able to go because I really needed some sun and sea’. <br>However, bravely trying to say positive Louise added: ‘But at the same time I am SO grateful that this all happened on English soil because I have no idea what the outcome would have been abroad.'<br> Tough: It comes after Louise posted an update sat in a hospital bed, penning: ‘I’ve been quiet on here recently because I had a bit of an unexpected situation again’ <br>It comes after Louise posted an update sat in a hospital bed, penning: ‘I’ve been quiet on here recently because I had a bit of an unexpected situation again. <br>’Don’t really know what to say right now, except for a huge thanks to everyone that’s kept the old ticker ticking. <br>’I feel like I’ve very much used up my quota of NHS services at this point.

      Eeek. I can’t help but feel a bit guilty about it all.<br>’I guess the only message for today is to take NOTHING for granted. Oh and without sounding too dramatic, tell everyone that you love them RIGHT NOW.'<br> Family: Louise spent a month in intensive care after welcoming son Leo-Hunter Libbey, 14 months, with boyfriend Ryan in 2021, and suffers with PTSD and post-natal anxiety<br>
