Early Psychosis Intervention Programme
September 8th 2015
Been to an anti austerity meeting tonight, ran by The People's Assembly. Masses of people crammed into The Central Hall in Manchester. Emotive, passionate speeches by everyone & was great to see Maxine Peake there. A lot of focus on the arts & the cuts to disability benefits leading to deaths. We will not accept this, I hope to see you at the protests on the 4th October.

Not sure I could ever fully explain my descent into ill mental health, but this article goes pretty close. It is terrifying when out of the blue, your anxiety & paranoia is so strong that you can not leave your bed, when you begin to hear & see things that are not there, even scarier when you begin to interact with these voices & hallucinations. A great piece of honest & thoughtful writing.
