How are you doing now?

@@justmadeit2 A couple of weeks ago I lied down in the road in the middle of a busy junction of town centre traffic next to where I live. I was carrying two 15cm knives & held one in each hand to my throat. I was just about to slash my throat & neck when I heard a woman’s voice. She gently said, “Don’t do that. Three weeks ago I was where you are now. I drove my car into an oak tree because my husband left me for another woman after 23 years of marriage. I got sectioned. You just need help. I’m going to sit here next to you until the police & ambulance arrive.” She gradually talked me down until the emergency services arrived. I got arrested for possession of bladed articles in a public place. I pled guilty at the magistrate’s court the next day & got sentenced to 6 months of probation. Probation’s agreed to help me to move from my current housing association property next to the road junction. I’m diagnosed with ME/CFS which causes sensory overload (hypersensitivity to light & sound) & Hyperacusis (noise sensitivity - noise can cause me physical pain). The two sensory conditions together with M.E turned my living environment into a sensory torture chamber. I couldn’t take it anymore. I’d already appealed twice to my housing association to move on health grounds. Declined both times. Turns out a panel of three housing association staff made those decisions & yet none of them were medically qualified to assess the impact of my noisy living environment on my disabilities & sensory medical conditions. I’d already tried to kill myself about a month beforehand. It was a week day. I was on the top floor of a multi storey car park & about to jump when I heard a man’s voice, “Don’t do that mate. I realise you’re probably going through a tough time at the moment. Let’s talk.”He gradually talked me down & we went for a coffee. I’d taken an overdose in case I didn’t have the courage to jump so I had to go to hospital but fortunately they were able to treat me & I hadn’t taken enough sedatives to cause any serious harm. These experiences have helped me rediscover my Christian faith & with help from the local community health team & Probation Service I’m gradually regaining my self confidence & slowly getting back on track, one day at a time. Thanks very much for asking how I’m doing, that means a lot. I’m very socially isolated & currently going through a English bank holiday weekend stuck at home in my own company but feeling a lot more relaxed & at ease so I’m beginning to cope & hope when my health improves I can work on increasing my social network.

I totally agree Simon, one of the biggest lessons In my life was learning to accept others for who they are and being able to appreciate that the person stood in front of me may think and may have beliefs that are the polar opposite of mine, and that’s fine. Modern society seems to impose this kind of pressure on the vulnerable to have to compare themselves to another and that’s not ok. We are all entitled to have the freedom to feel and believe in what makes us happy. Also one mans coping strategy that work for him may not work for another. Being considerate and open minded is important. Hope you good and thank you for Subscribing to my Channel. Please keep in touch..

Thank you Emma
