Ha, a true gent is your good self, thanks for asking, Drone.
My story was called Section Free. Some 15 years ago now in London aged 17 I was sectioned.
Section Free covers the downward spiral of a first psychotic episode, and then learning about what 'mental health' is when you are smack bang in the middle on a Section Three of the mental health act.
I wrote this in 2013 when doing my journalism degree.
The title is admittedly a prickly pun which illustrates my frustration with certain parts of the mental health system back then.
I felt some issues needed addressing, which Section Free explains.
My family helped me recall some of the events at that time.
If the readers take out or two little lines from the read I'd be happy.
Section Free is not online anymore. However, I can send you a copy anytime, Drone. Just ask!
An NHS union bought a lot of copies, I used to do a lot of mental health advocacy and one or two conferences so they gave some copies to their new nursing students..
Max's was a psychological thriller called Carla. Btw. An interesting read it was.
