Hello all sunday afternoon update
What a week its been!
I think ive been through every emotion the past few days from feeling accomplished to absulute rock bottom again.
Ive felt rocked for the past couple of days However pushed myself rotten.
So with complete transparency ive spent yesturday and today in bed resting recuperating trying to control my anxiety. And to just regulate a bit better.
The week we got coming is a mega ask but im just gonna do what I can do.
Starting with our trolly run tomorrow!
Ive got lots to share about this the people that are getting involved the messages ive recieved and the pot noodles that turned up at my house the other day And what's coming.
Ive not even started yet!!!
Theres alot of questions being asked in places id never of thought would be asked all for me!!

Like if hes doing this why cant we support him?

If hes not asking for money why cant we get him noodles?

Why have I not met him till now?

Our store collects for the community hes a community group feeding the homeless. Ran everything for a community he and many other communitys can prove what's been achieved and a community backs it ??
We gotto ask questions??

If local cic are community led why have they not got
Many downs a cic?

All these things are being challenged.
I just need the right people now!

I thought id share this this morning a snippet of living with mental health
The consequences of having a illness thats so misunderstood and to highlight my fears thats gone on since I was young.
Should at 40+years old still feel scared of those that are put in a position to help???

If you had broken leg would you exspect to spend your life in fear?

As a mental health advocate id like to ask a question
why is it when ever someone gets caught doing something there not meant to the first thing that comes out there mouth is
"its err my mental health"
When someone get stabbed or serious crime they was always known to mental health services.

Here's me

Apply for a provisional driving licence 5 months still no licence as my gp needs to tell them if im allowed to drive or if im safe to be alone even tho I don't see my gp??

If i Have issues and police are called how many officers attend all clinging on to tazers & batons ediths house gets broken into a week later the police turn up!

I do voluntary work at 21
Lost my placement forced to pay £400 to the job centre not to press criminal charges to tell them ive never recieved a penny for working what happens armed police turn up banned from every job centre in cardiff? Because ive got mental health issues?

Gotto be put on pip but refused for 23 months because my gp wants to charge £44 to pass on my paper work to speak on the phone to tell them this guys got severe mental health issues why are you assessing him.

Wanna go on holiday cant go on holiday unless youve got your letter off your professor and gp to state youve got mental health issues.???

Hit crisis real bad go gp first 5 day wait for appointment then wait 6 months for a referral to north rd mental health team 18 month wait to see my ptsd clinic followed by a 11 month wait to see a councilor.

Given medication doses that was enough to put a rhino down. Never in all my years has the nurse ever been in my house visited me and yet primary nurse was meant to see me every 6 weeks
Hallucinating for 2 weeks
Ill almost everyday lots and lots of side effects
Stopped taking them and still feel the meds some days to this day. Detoxed myself and when i say detoxed it was horrendous and now they wonder why im petrified of tablets???
But still think I need them?

No amount of medication can take away from my lived traumas and exspirances.
But nothing compares to spending my life fighting to be treated fairly with compassion,respect,by a service that controlled so much of my life.

Since this ive got a eating issues live with major fatigue body crashes a brain that insists not to trust nothing or nobody
But try my dam hardest everyday never hurts nobody and yet have to fight to be here almost everyday.
But don't panic guys im known to mental health services.

Hello gooooooood morning All!
How are we its finally friday and we got some crazy crazy stuff to share

Today imagine this is gonna be a huge day for me with alot of feelings & emotions attached.
Today I step back in time to go visit cardiff youth service
Into the exact building my personal biggest achievements originated from and is also a huge chapter of my life. ive offered to share with the young people.
The exact building that I came off the streets and held my first position as a volunteer and also did my full detox and started my life again to be free of drugs/alcohol.

Just over 23 years ago one of the nicest most inspirational men a legend in the world of cardiffs history of youth work a mr les savile mr marsh gave me something id never ever had before. opportunities, trust,a position to prove myself
From that day I had keys to the building keys to the safe and a bit of normality in my life but the biggest thing was them trust in me.
The things we did the places we went we represented cardiff youth services all over the place. When I say we represented we was smashing it so much so that politicians, both here and London wanted me ashley and a few others so badly and this is also where Rogdri Morgan /Peter Clark and the north wales children's commissioners took a real shine to jaylo
Myself and Ashley where so well known it was unreal there wasn't a week we wasn't at forums ,conferences,believe it or not from that centre i represented wales at the young united kingdom conference to pave the way for funky dragon /red dragon forums and then to build the 10 entitlements for wales.
We went on To have my own seat in the houses of commons that to this day still can be found and accessed in the children's commissioners offices in London this seat is for young people to represent there views and then can be taken through into the chamber!!!
Millenium volunteer 2000
For wales.
I won that! I won the most sparkling swankey Parker pen youve ever seen!.

Its gonna be a tough one today im pretty sure the memories will come flooding back in today.
But what a privilege this will be!!
Inspiring those that are sat where I was all them years ago.
