My book details the two weeks I spent in a mental health ward after a nervous breakdown due to the stresses of my work (teaching). It shows that psychosis really could happen to anyone. It then details the anxiety I suffered afterwards and details the possible reasons for my poor mental health. I hope it will help many people. I also have a Facebook Page 'Voice for Anxiety' book. Writing has helped me and I am planning to write another book soon.

1. Here’s my story

3. These were the things I saw which
weren’t actually there.
Cars moving round
hospital building as if
something was going on.
Work colleagues walking past
in accident and emergency ,
outside in a police car and
climbing the stairs in the
ward.

4. Here are the things I heard which
weren’t actually there.
A helicopter circling
the ward
A commentary going on
for which a competition
to win our kids back was
taking place.

5. So stress can be dangerous.
It can make you think your house is bugged
causing you to run up the road in your socks.
It can make you think you are in a conspiracy
theory and that you should leave the hospital or
do things to sort it out.

6. I am nearly recovered now.
• But please read my story.
• I never thought it would happen to me but it
did.
