Time stood still, that’s why I’ve got the watch, and its time and time again that I’ve got ill. I was roaring like a bear and being irritable, and biting people’s heads off. I was acting wild, that’s why I put that scenery there. These weren’t the things I was buying, but I was buying all sorts of different things. I put that there because I bought some furniture for people. Not exactly the same as that, but furniture. I had it delivered to the people’s houses without them knowing, but they seemed happy enough. This has happened to me quite a few times, about thirty nine times. I was getting ill twice a year. This time I wasn’t taking my tablets properly and I was feeling alright, but I started getting a bit high and then I started getting manic and I couldn’t listen to anyone in my family who told me to start taking my tablets. I can’t say that I felt happy while I was high. It was just like a whirlwind, I was just rushing about buying a lot of things. Its quite regrettable. It would be good to give people an insight into how people with mental illness feel when they are ill – if they’re interested. I’ve had friends in the past and we’ve fallen out when I’ve been ill. The majority of the friends I have now have had mental illnesses themselves so they understand.
