Guernsey Mental Health Reform

Why is it in such a small society we judge mentally ill people to the point of bully and harassment for our amusement and validation.

It’s like people have nothing better to do than put people down to feel better about themselves to mask your own insecurities.

When did we loose our morals and values as a community?

So at the start of lockdown there were over triple calls made regarding mental health.

Would be nice to know the true figures.

Wow 😮 600 calls in 48 hours yet this is normal for this many people to just start suffering.

Hopefully one day i will get answers for what’s gone on and caused to me and my brothers and possibly other family members.

This all started back at end of 2019.

At the time I put it down to possibly food being made for me but seeing how both my brothers went the same way and how my mum has been. I question if something possibly could of been being sprayed into the propertys of our places.

at the start of the year. I went seriously ill. Went to just under 7 stone in weight and constantly suffered with paranoia which was the worse feeling ever. Anxiety every minute of the day. I thought the whole world was against me. I was constantly suffering with diarrhea and just felt so ill constantly. I was passing out on the settee at the flat quite a lot and not even realizing until the morning and even then I was struggling to wake up. My kids were always asking me what’s the matter and I was just saying I’m not to well.
I heard a few times now people asking me why I gave my states house up and that I was mad to. Yes I did get offered a states house at the time but with how ill I was and how my head was at the time there was no way I could of kept it.
I was working a full time job Monday to Friday and doing 2-3 nights to be able to afford everything. I was having to pay out over 2000 a month.
It’s not because I just have it up. It’s because of everything that was going on and because I could not afford it.
I asked for a top up but I wasn’t entitled to one.
Since living at are place down Vazon I ended up in the same state as the start of the year. Both me and my friend ended up very ill and we ended up going to the hospital and the police station to report it all.
I Knew something wasn’t right when it happened to me the second time and started going back over messages me and Nigel were sending to each other at the start of the year. I was questioning food being made for me. I also kept letter my brother gave me whilst I was visiting him and he went how I did on those times. Both my brothers have gone the same where there heads have been a complete mess and looked so ill.
Since all this I have put in a complaint to the police and so have others spoke to them and said they know something hasn’t been right cause of how ill I became.
The worse thing about it is there needs to be hard evidence.
Knowing something has been done to you and trying to live your life question things every day has be such a struggle.
I don’t know who to go to or turn to somedays.
It just shows how low some people really are.
At one point I thought I was dying. It messes your body up completely and you feel drained every minute of the day. I want answers for what has been done to me but I don’t think I’m gonna get them.

Talked to so many people about what’s gone on and how this has effected my life and I haven’t really gotten anywhere.

This doesn’t happen to 3 people in the matter of six months and you don’t just start waking up in this mess like it’s normal.

Hopefully the truth will come out one day

Over the next few weeks we will be posting various short videos of various mental health challenges and disorders.

The idea of this is to raise awareness of the symptoms of different conditions for friends, family, members, co-workers and self so you can seek help for the people you love and care for so they can go on to live a more fulfilling life.
