So Here It Is...

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun. Or are they?
It's obvious that Christmas, amidst all the mindless materialism and wanton celebration, can be a difficult time for many of us. Imparticular those who experience mental ill health.
So, I'd just like to say in this very short blog a very Merry Christmas to all at Mindbloggling, particularly those who have taken the time to read and comment on my blog.
I know that for many of us, including myself, social isolation can be a big problem, but it is always nice to know that there are some of us out there who can share our experiences and communicate in this way. I truly believe that this can make our lives a little bit more enjoyable and I have certainly enjoyed being a part of mindbloggling.
So, for at least this year, that may be all from your average delusional and paranoid man. Oh, please don't be too sad, after all there's always next year and who knows what that might bring. Or, as my old aunt used to say, something will turn up, even if its your toes (old potteries saying!).
So. stay well and a very Merry Christmas to all!

Greetings David
Social isolation can be enhanced for those who find themselves alone during this 'Festive Season'.
Although I have the opportunity, thanks to my own nervous attempt at social networking, to socialise for this first time in years; I will be spending the day with my son. This will be the first time he has been with me on that 'special day' for longer than I care to remember.
David I do wish you a wonderful Christmas and know that through our site's community empathy, we can give each other a bit of comfort.
Warmest of wishes Klahanie aka Gary.

Dear David,

I sincerely hope that you managed to have the best 'Xmas' possible, for you! and not the 'Xmas' that society in general seems to think we 'should' all have!(full of unrealistic expectations...which are not really what we wanted anyway)
I wish you the 'Happiest' of New Years, full of peace,joy and love.
My very best and warmest wishes to you David.....D Xx

Looking forward to seeing you this brand-spanking, bright new year. It's like a blank canvas with who knows what round the corner. Hope you've had a good Christmas and if not, that you've come out of it all right on the other side..

See you soon,

By the Age of 40, Everyone has the Face they Deserve.

The above title is taken from a quote by George Orwell, one which was more recently updated by Martin Amis, who said that "by the age of 40, everyone has the face they can afford." Amis' little saying may be the more apposite for our times, but there is something about the original Orwell, with its implications that all our experience, all our sins and virtues, may be written on our visages, that captured my imagination. So, as I pass 40 this year, on December 5th, to be precise, I thought I would print here what my own face actually looks like. Up until now, readers of this blog will only have seen the picture I use of myself as a child. So, for the first time, here is what the nearly 40 year old David looks like. Oh my, what a handsome chap I am! Seriously, though, if all our sins and virtues do happen to be written on our faces by this age, then I think, perhaps, I'm not doing too bad. Indeed, I am now quite happy with the way I look, but this was not always th...

The Asylum vs. Care in the Community.

When I was growing up in Stoke, the reputation of our local psychiatric hospital took on almost mythic qualities. Based in Cheddleton, the St.Edward's hospital was the subject of many, possibly apocryphal, stories, and whenever anyone would act a little "crazy", people would always say "be careful, you'll end up at Cheddleton". The remark was usually delivered in a derisory or humorous fashion, and what it made clear was that those who actually did find themselves "at Cheddleton" were separate from the rest of us. "They" were the insane, while we were, to quote Foucault, shining examples of "a reason sure of itself". So, the element of stigma was clear. The inmates of St.Edward's weren't like us. They were almost a different species, the insane, and I remember thinking very clearly that I would never end up in such a place. Little did I know. St.Edward's Psychiatric Hospital, Cheddleton. But what this got me ...

One of the first questions I asked when coming into mental health services was, if there is no such thing as "normal", why is anyone locked away in a psychiatric institution? It is only the concept of apparent "normality" which results in its binary opposite, "madness". So, despite the protests of those in practice who continually suggested to me that there was no such thing as "normal", I could not get over the fact, and the glaring contradiction, that psychiatric services would want us all to lead a "normal" life. It also seemed to me that creative people, often a little eccentric in their ways, may come into conflict with mental health services simply because of the way they are. What would happen, I wondered, were, for example, William Blake to walk through the door of my local residential unit, a man so fuelled by imagination that, in his writings, he seemed to create an entire world. Would it be possible that the "normalising...
