My story

Diagnosis

Post-diagnosis… telling family and friends

 One in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives.  Around one in ten children experience mental health problems.  Depression affects around one in 12 of the whole population.  Rates of self-harm in the UK are the highest in Europe at 400 per 100,000.  450 million people world-wide have a mental health problem.  29% women treated for mental health problem/ 17% men  Mixed anxiety & depression is the most common mental disorder in Britain, with almost 9% of people meeting criteria for diagnosis.

Widespread misconceptions  Depressed People Are Constantly Miserable and Alone  Depression Just Means Being Sad  Antidepressants Don't Work  Depressed People Just Need to Snap Out of It  Only Women and Old People Get Depressed (cracked.com)

 90% of the people who die by suicide having an existing mental illness or substance abuse problem at the time of their death  Men more likely to commit suicide than women  partly due to lack of treatment and support  Women more likely to attempt suicide than men

Comprehension through poetry

Solace Seekers The solace seekers search for something that will help them to escape. On hands and knees with their magnifying glasses, They scour the Earth. Ripping their eyes out so they dangle from the optical nerve - ghouls that wander at night. They think they will find solace this way, but I have a secret: Solace doesn't exist. There is no escape from pain, and Any attempt to reduce suffering lays pain at someone else's door. And the face of destruction is quite happy To leave it's little speckled eggs Brewing, waiting to hatch. Waiting to wreak havoc. They drift, ghosts in the corridors, Blinded, eyes: honey - thick, glazed over. Oblivious to the ripple effect of their dropping their stone into water. They don't think of consequences, Laws of physics: Actions - reactions. They don't think of anything other than numbing the pain, Until the party is over, the liquor bottles are empty, And they are alone. Who loves you when you are alone? Even your shadow leaves in the night. Who loves you when the only voice in your head Is condemning you to death?
