Walking with TH today was lovely. She asked me about my past. This as interesting speaking frankly about a period of my life that I never ever imagined I would be living.
Psychiatry, mental health and mental hospitals. How did I get there?, she asked.
I told her my story - long term absence from work, nervous breakdown, P hospitalisation, suicide attempts, more extreme people in my life, drugs, alcohol, extreme behaviours - should I go on?
That started in 1998. I remember trying to read a document I had written and really not having a clue what I was supposed to be doing with the client. I was getting into trouble in serious ways with work - first time in my life I had ever had a problem with my behaviours although the acting out had started probably a year later. It was all catching up with me. So were my debts, So was my lack of worth.
2 stays in 2 different P's. NHS support. Addiction, 12 Step meetings, relationships, SH, London then Hampshire. Eventual redundancy after 3 years sick leave, Re-training.
Oh blah blah blah
Maybe I could write in detail little by little about each separate event. And then finally have my entire story.

Happy to tell anyone anything if they are interested
