Well it’s now 2024. How? Why? 2024 & in the same situation but only worse. This is unfair beyond belief. It’s cruel. The suffering my mum is experiencing is horrific & whilst she suffers, we suffer. How I am still here is quite literally beyond me. Strong? Determined? No, I think more like because I … Continue reading Hanging on by a thread 🧵

Mental Illness & memories
I wish I could get inside my mums brain & have a little crawl about & explore what’s going on. I had a bad (horrific) back issue for 5 years, I remember thinking that I wished I could just open up the centre of my back & have a look to see what was … Continue reading Mental Illness & memories

stop the world I want to get off!!!!
Days like today I just want everyone to fuck off. Sorry to be blunt but that’s real life. I don’t have my own life, not fully, it’s dictated to me.

The man in the white van was waiting for her, waiting for an opportunity to kill her. Earlier she had seen the Nun from the nearby Covent, she was carrying a gun under her habit. The postman days before had tried to get into her flat, he had banged on her window demanding she let … Continue reading Mushrooms & death
What is it like inside an asylum?
We don’t call them asylums anymore but we may as well. The name asylum fits the description so much better than ‘ward’. A ward to me symbolisms a hospital type place with clean washed floors, neatly made beds & patients sitting in chairs next to them, or tucked up with clean white sheets up around … Continue reading What is it like inside an asylum?
Mental illness? Pull yourself together & trust me!!!
When someone is constantly anxious it becomes the new norm. But it also takes it out of the person with them. I have been guilty of telling my mum to ‘Pull herself together’ on numerous occasions. I feel absolutely shit for saying this! I only have to look on the face of the cartoon characters … Continue reading Mental illness? Pull yourself together & trust me!!!
Has your life driven you mad?
Have you ever had the feeling like someone has scribbled all over your brain? If not, just imagine your brain ticking along nicely, with clear thoughts, good head space & great perceptive & then all of a sudden thousands of tiny little brain people come out from their crevices armed with marker pens & scribble … Continue reading Has your life driven you mad?

(Check out previous post if you have no idea what im talking about) 11 years ago my beautiful mum began to act odd. There is no other way to describe it but that. At the … Continue reading How it all started (poorly brain)
