What follows are a series of short stories all on mental health and my illness. |
Introduction Am I Mad or Is it Just Me, What follows are short stories, some of which are based on and around my life and what has happened to me through my struggle with mental illness and follows all the way to my belief in spiritualism, you could say it is a Fictional Bio with some Factual pieces. Firstly telling you a little about myself and my battle with my mental illness, then we go into some short stories of adventures or happenings that I have encountered along this path we call life! some short stories with some fictional twists added to hopefully delight and yet confuse the reader. Is there a simple explanation to all these stories, I would like to think so. In this small glimpse in to my life, which is at best mostly factual with a little bit of fiction thrown in for good measure, It is up to you the readers to make up your own minds in to what is the truth, and what is simply Gobbledygook. I do not mean to offend people, remember these are my stories with visions and memories, All that I ask is when you read my stories and visions try for yourselves to visualize what you are reading, put yourself in my shoes and let your imagination run riot. Mad Hatter - “Am i going Mad”, Alice - “Yes, You’re mad, Bonkers, Off your head … but … I’ll tell you a secret … all the best people are” Dedication I would like to dedicate this book to all the people, families and the service users that have suffered or have lost loved ones to any of the Mental Illnesses, Depression or Suicide. Most of us at some point in our lives have been confronted with a mental illness, lets all fight to stop the stigma that it carries with it. “Step into my world, your madness will be accepted optimistically” World Mental Health Day When will we ever learn when will we ever listen. Should we ever return to listen in on the lesson. A lesson for the mind for all of mankind with hope we are inclined not to leave behind those with a broken mind. For on this day in October as we all grow so much older. We think for those with Bi-polar and the others with a similar disorder. And for those that do suffer it’s a long road ahead to recover. Yet we can find comfort in this universe with help and a smile from our, Mental Health Nurse. This was a poem I wrote in dedication to my mental health nurse, Joanne who was and still is a star…Thank you. |
