I started using vallium and other tranquilisers early in my life, then alcohol and I was in and out of mapperley hospital, they got me together many times and I am grateful for all the treatment I received.
I constantly self medicated and couldn’t really understand the way I was. Over recent years I have been going to daycare and for 10 years I have been a volunteer at mapperly hospital. I also go to mental health daycare at SPAN which has now moved and is called FOCUS at aspley training and community centre, I am 56 would definitely be lost without my daycare.
Gp’s ask do you need a psychiatrist and that’s it, I feel a lot better having contact in my IT group
