I swear to living fuck that the Trust will not win this fight if I have breath in my body and blood in veins. I will battle them to the very death – literally, if needs be. This is, of course, in response to yesterday’s received correspondence from Mr Director-Person. Your thoughts and comments on [...]
It – the impromptu counselling assessment session with the Nexus Institute on Tuesday 31 August – went well. Thank you all very much for your lovely supportive comments, tweets and Facebastard messages. It meant a lot knowing that my great online friends would be there to provide a figurative shoulder on which to cry, regardless of how [...]
As I sat down to eat my first Pot Noodle of the day, I noticed two missed calls on my iPhone. The number was a local one, but not one I recognised. I suspected it might be my friends the Nexus Institute, but employed the services of DI Google just to make sure. DI Google [...]
BEWARE: SELF-HARM TRIGGERS EDIT TO ADD: Apparently this was originally written by a member of Recover Your Life. See here for more information. Thanks to Voluntary Madness for pointing this out in the comments section of this post. P. — I’ve ripped this off from The Exact Science of Manic Depression, but as he himself [...]
Thank God for my/our primary enabler, Mental Nurse, and other members of the wonderful Madosphere. Essentially, the sharing of images catalogued here has made what was an unspeakably bad day into a less unspeakably bad day. Now that I am coming to grips with using GIMP, I am finding some enjoyment (***shock!!! Horror!!!!***) in creating [...]
I am (for now) making no comment on this morning’s final session with C, other than that everyone who predicted that last night’s uncharacteristic indifference would not continue after, say, 10am today, would not have been completely mistaken. I do not want to think about it so meh, let’s just ignore it. So, therefore, here [...]
*plays a welcoming Final Fantasy-esque fanfare* How are you enjoying following my secret life on the internet, mother? I’m sure it has been an epic journey for you; it certainly has been for me. I have met some amazing people, I have received some amazing support and encouragement, and I have discovered some not-quite-so-amazing things [...]

At about 1.30am today, I received an email from a lady at Medical Assistant Schools (MAS) claiming that her site had bestowed an award upon this blog. I initially deemed it a hoax as it, although emailed to my address, wasn’t intended for me – its salutation did in fact refer to the author of [...]

Update on the Political Intervention Against the Trust Sorry for not apprising readers of this blog on the current status of my complaints to my MP and other politicians about the Trust’s decision to end my therapy. I had mentioned it on Twitter, but not all of you are onTwitter, so that wasn’t very fair! [...]
On Saturday night, A and I went to see a Queen tribute band, and a particular Freddie Mercury song that they covered once again struck me as being something that could be written about me. A suggested I do a totally random, essentially pointless but potentially fun post on the issue – what song best [...]
This feud between my mother and Aunt of Oppression Maisie has really got me thinking. This is a post where I’d really value your advice and thoughts, people. I know you can’t put yourself in my place, but I suppose I’m wondering what you might do in this situation. I’ve made clear here before that [...]

In the beginning, the computer functioned normally and efficiently. Although there were some malicious attacks directed against it, its firewall initially worked well, deflecting some and making sure the worst of the others was hidden deep in the computer’s hard-drive. The computer was responsive, hard-working and quick to process all tasks that it was assigned. [...]
