Shit Happens!
Hi there everyone i've not been having such a good time lately. My car is ace and i've really been enjoying that but my head has been really mashed-up lately. Ive been having some really bad feelings about my past experiences and had been indulging in some very unhealthy behaviour to block them out like abusing my sleeping tablets, not eating, staying in bed alot etc, and was rapidly going down-hill. It culminated in me becoming so unwell mentally that i had to go to the Harplands Hospital for a few days to get sorted out. Im still not right and am going into Phoenix House (a safe house run by Brighter Futures with whom im housed) for a long weekend to try and get back on an even keel. Im sick and tired of being sick and tired. Some people say that they wouldn't change having a mental health problem but i bloody would!! Anyway, "it is what it is" as my mate Daz would say so i suppose i'm just going to have to get on with it as everyone else does. Sorry to be telling you about such negative occurances but i like to be honest about whats going on so at least when good things happen there is a balance. I will post again when i come out and let you all know how i'm getting on. If anyone else is having a bad time let me know and i will try and give you a lift and some positive feedback/advice (pity i dont take it as well as i give it!) See you later, Simon

My dear friend, sorry to hear you're having such a crap time. But very glad to hear that it's getting easier. All your resources will pull you through. You are one of the most genuinely kind, honest and supportive people I've ever met you have helped so many people - hope we can go someway to redressing the balance. Here's to a better time ahead. Take very good care amd we'll see you soon.

Hi Simon-
I understand how difficult life has been for you lately. So let's look at the positives in all of this.
You are recognising and indeed addressing your own 'warning' signs. You realise that you need some 'chill out' time to reflect upon your life. I know you will redress the balance and embrace the positivity that you yearn for.
Simon you are networking and that is most positive. You are now a 'blogger' and I know you use this site and the Changes website for your own therapy. You help others and you help yourself.
My friend, take comfort in the knowledge that we are here for you.
When you leave Phoenix House,you know you can use my computer to verbalise your valid thoughts.
Simon you are a decent human being and it is an honour to know you. Just remember to listen to your own good advice.
Kind regards Gary.
Dear Simon,
I can truly empathise with how you are feeling at the moment, and I know it is 'the pits' but I promise you things do and will change for the better. You have the awareness to recognise your needs and act upon it. Which in itself is a very positive act.
I wish you well and hope to see you soon. D x
Thank you all for your support, caring and empathy it really means alot to me to know there are people out there who understand and care enough to post messages of support! Looking forward to being able to write a more positive blog in the near future. I might even bore the crap out of you all by writing some excerpts from a bizarre life story, hence the title of my blog as my perception of life as seen through the lens of psychosis can be a bit disconcerting!
Thank you too Simon, for all your kind and positive remarks on my blogs.
A little encouragement goes a long way! D x
Hi Simon - I'm was sad to hear you've been having such a difficult time, and I hope things are easier for you now.
I hope you feel free to write about the negative as well as the positive - you certainly needn't apologise for telling your truth. Take care, and I hope to see you well very soon. Tone x
