Hi Alexandra and Sabrina
thank you for welcoming me to the forum
I am one of those ? rare creatures a worker in mental health who goes mad themselves occasionally - I have seen both sides of the fence (neither of them too pretty) and I think it would be fair to say I am obsessed with madness and mental health issues
I am currently pretty good in myself but have the massive stress of the breakup of my marriage to deal with - Before if people said they had split up I think like yeah whatever but now I know its like being torn in half. I am also trying to deal with a dependence on Diazepam which I have stupidly become addicted to via using benzos to combat back pain and shift workThough I was actually born in London, Bristol is in the southwest of England on the way to Devon, Cornwall and just below Wales. It was built on slave money and tobacco chocolate and arms manufacturing and engineering now its just another slightly postmodern service/financial centre
yes the winters are a bugger here especially if you are prone to depression - most of my breakdowns have occured Jan Feb with a mounting sense of doom starting in about November I think Christmas as a feast is meant to deal with this angst - personally i would like to go under the duvet for 2 months at this time of year but we are expected to carry on being busy little worker ants - then again I like the contrast of the seasons as well
My favourite music at the moment is the soundtrack from A Clockwork Orange
