10th March, 2005.
Its a thursday. Had a good nights sleep. Listening to Joan Armatradings' Greatest Hits. Wondering what the day will bring. Nice, sunny, pleasant day. Got a period. Did a painting of a parakeet last night. Its drying now. Will do Jeans painting of glasses soon. Did parakeet with fingers, did'nt use brush. Need some more Fairy Liquid, and Jeans pearlescent paint. Feeling like more tea, to drink, need sugar. I havent read papers, last weekends, Sunday Times yet.
Hope Dad, Meg and Charles are all ok. Sun is breaking through, good 'ol sun.

Thursday, Feb3 ,2005.
Spent £70 on afternoon with Meg and Charles. Bought a fountain pen for Jeans birthday in March. Listening to Motorheads 'Ace of Spades'. Been to Uplands; a tenner bought me 6 pints of milk, 40 Richmond cigerettes and two plums.
Meg and Charles called at 4pm. Felt difficult after Uplands, so put on Holly Valances, 'Footprints'; mellowed me out again. Hurt my 4th finger, left hand. 'Capricorn' by Motorhead, coolest song ever. Given Raquel photo of 'cityscape by night'. She likes it. Framed paintings of fish,fourth frame smaller than the others and gold but without mount. Drew a pot of honey for Pooh bear. Found remote for cd player. Glued pictures of Richmond cigerette packets (blue turquoise gloss veneer) and respiradone silver packaging, restored collage. Thinking about putting the three fish in water paintings, on the wall, will need nails and hammer.

surviving mental health
For the past five years, I have kept a diary to do with my mental health. I was diagnosed in 1989, at 21 with schizophrenia. At first I thought they had made a mistake and was picking on me unnessarily.
However with age comes wisdom. And I now feel a lot more accepting of the mental health professionals,as I believe they really do have our best interests at heart.
Battling with it, makes you a survivor. When all is fair in love and war, its nice to know someone understands and that there are others like you, who you can take inspiration from.
I plan to put a few pages each week at a time, of the diaries. So look forward to hearing from you soon. GE
