Back In Court Tomorrow ....
54 Answers
After an absence of 7 years or so....
Last time was for minor assault on police officers.
Since then it all went down the pan this year.
My mental health declined and i ended up up in a phsychiatric hospital after trying to cut my hand off during a psychotic episode.
All I get told is 'Reduce your drinking'
No *** Shirlock. If I could do that I would.
Mental health services are nowhere to to be seen, despite that I am currently 'under' them.
No doubt that if I were to die then at least the coroners report would indicate that I was
'engaged' with them. I'm not.
Been messed about something stupid by the local drugs and alcohol team.
Passed from councilor to councilor, told to attend meetings that dont exist on the system, phone calls that dont recieve any reply, .
I give up.
Ive previously had several posts advsing me to pick fruit.
No disrespect but if i was capable of picking fruit for a living I would.

I have to agree with nailit - psychotic episodes and hallucinatio ns are not much fun. I was lucky to not have done anything illegal or outrageous but living each day knowing that it could happen again is horrendous. It can be easy to be judgemental and criticise those with serious mental health issues or addiction problems. Life is not simple and one day you may...

I can also just say 'Good Luck' and wish you well. I don't suppose that you can say that the people on this site know you fairly well and support you, can you? It might be worth trying.
Why can't you pick fruit? Area?
You seem to have abandoned yourself. On here - we haven't abandoned you. We actually care..... weird though you may think it.
Is there any chance that you can re-read all the posts over the last week or so? There have been so many words of encouragement.
I was talking today to my lecturer in Creative Writing.
He is a reformed alcoholic/druggie/homosexual - active in London in the early years of this century. He also woke up in hospitals not knowing how he got there. I think that he must be not much younger than you. Heck, we've seen pictures of him stoned out of his mind and wearing black rubber shorts!
He is a good man. He is writing and earning and finishing his PhD.
When I asked how to help you, he said 'Tell him he has to make a decision and stick to it. It's making the decision that is hardest.'
Over to you, Nailedit, and the very best of luck.
