Mental illness isnt funny, dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
Some people are just loopy, and deliberately say things that disturb others' ordered trains of thought. Most of them make it onto a stage at some point, or at least earn a comfortable living in politics.
Jokers.
The rest of us poor bastards got here by being under immense stress.
This is what is takes to get recognition. And no, not recognition for my work either, recognition for my humanity.

Never mind what these hands of mine can do, they should not be engaged in the day-to-day personal affairs of a woman, its inappropriate. Its always been inappropriate, but attitudes seem finally to be changing. Year before last, the summer before I joined HaD, I was reported for grooming a disabled person after being witnessed playing guitar in a local park, while Bea messed around playing football and having lunch. The social care system treats her as my wife, most people guessed she was my sister on first encounter unless I told them first.

She's my daughter. Any father of teenage girls can tell you what hell that is. Boyfriends, clothing sanctions, secretive behaviour. I dont have any of these problems luckily, but Bea has no personal modesty and will walk into a room. Having to deal with that has caused some psychological damage, its f*ed my libido lol.

There's only one cure, according to convention. ;-)

Its Friday, Bea's in care until further notice because the social worker cant find carers to come in and handle her personal care, and I suppose I should be out chasing the ladies around. Dont really feel like it, every time I do they turn out to be not worth the trouble. Some of them were absolutely mental, and they've made me wonder why I even bothered in the first place.

Things could be worse though, there's now an investigation into the corruption that caused me to get like this. The social worker has backed down about unpaid care, and is now lying through his teeth about threatening me with destruction of my work, property and reputation, again. He's also backed down about the accommodation too, allegedly a move is imminent.

It had better be...

Meantime, I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs and waiting for my brain chemistry to return to normal. I had a stress breakdown I suppose, there are limits to what a mind can take. My concentration is improving and short term memory with it. Takes time, I'm still denied clinical treatment for some obscure reason, I havent been offered antipsychotics, antidepressants or sedatives at any time. I'm just left to my own devices, literally ignored while I 'recover'.

Decide what to do next...
