Eventually I went to court and was released homeless and with out any money. I was very thin and stayed in the night shelter, but eventually I had to leave because of fear of violence.

However, my complaint has been removed from my medical file. It has also been decided that I’m not a psychopath and that the psychologist was abusive towards me. I was re diagnosed with A personality disorder born out of a Complex Post Traumatic Syndrome and Intermittent Acute Adjustment Disorder. It was latter decided that I was Borderline Personality Disorder.

Furthermore my Community Psychiatric Nurse at the time. Went to see somebody from the Government about the New Mental Health Act. They also talked to the head of the local Social Services Department regarding proper facilities for traumatised people.


Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

One day one of the staff at the day centre lunged at me in a threatening manner and was very aggressive. I had not done anything to provoke this attack and I believe the person felt they had the right “test me”. I head butted the wall. About a week later I had a massive panic attack and reported the incident to the police. They advised me to put in a complaint I did and I was refused the use of the day centre. A Mental Health Social Worker offered to mediate but they refused.

Meanwhile I’m cold and feeling suicidal. There is also a breakfast project for homeless people, which is very good. I wonder if I’ll survive this winter ? At least I can use the computers at the college.
