I am on Section in my local secure mental hospital

I am reliving my previously processed traumas

I am reliving my childhood nightmares.

Of being locked up.

Of being abused.

This is torture

This is illegal

This is without any or any sufficient evidential basis

I’m locked up when I was no risk to myself 

No risk to others

I was only admitted on my insistence that there be a CONDITION of admission that 

:- I would NOT be locked up as this would trigger trauma and set me back 40 years.

I was only admitted on this reaffirmed promise and again on the subsidiary repeated undertaking  that I WOULD be able to smoke tobacco.

When I got here I was locked in and trapped and barred from smoking.

Presently I am retormented by long ago processed memories of abuse. They have been reborn, like a cancer out to destroy my soul.

I am back to that little boy frozen OR fighting to escape from a tormentor, from being locked in, from being defiled, from being raped.

It’s fight or flight

If you can’t get out you have to fight

But you can’t fight or you will NEVER be free again.

This seems like hyperbole but hem you live it, when you suffer, when you are back locked up,!unable to flee, unable to fight off the devil himself, then ladies and gentleman you are in in hell, on this earth, in this so called free democracy where thenrule of law is followed.

Where rights are protected.

This stuff goes on up and down the county I know it. I have represented people at Mental Health and Human Rights appeals and tribunals.

And now I currently have NO legal redress.

NO rights.

No freedoms.

No assessment 

No finding in a civil yet alone a criminal court against me due to my so called ‘illness.

I’m sure, that to people who do not know their rights, who cannot defend themselves that these peoples will are broken they are defeated.

Well I will not be broken.

I will not give in.

I will never surrender my soul, my spirit, my sense of self.

I am a sound, kind, funny, gentle, loving person.

I am being treated unusually inhumanely and cruelly.

My MP doesn’t care, I was sectioned 30 seconds after the sectioning officer assured me 4 times that he did not deem me a risk.

I cross examine people, I cross examined consultant forensic psychologists and psychiatrists for years.

The good ones will always admit they don’t know.

I think I know my own mind and my own risk to myself and others a bit better than you do. Check my antecedents and my medical records (which I’m not entitled to see here. I’m not allowed access to a copy of the Wales Mental Heath Patients Charter

They say it’s not on the internet, that they can’t print it off.

They say I can’t see what they are saying about me, I can’t see my GP notes simply to show them the relevant parts of my history.

I’m not allowed to show them what medication I should be on, that works for me after 30 years of train and error.

I promise that I will fight, I will prove my truth in order to prevent these abuses being repeatedly and ignorantly perpetuated without thought for the person.

I will expose the cruel and existentially brutal malpractice that is standard under a 40 year old law, when we were labelled nutters, lunatics, whackos etc.

It is the worst nightmare to be locked up and drugged.

If your only feared is being locked up and drugged.

You can’t get what your instincts and your own history will come next.

Abuse, torture, tastes and pains and bleeds you can’t get rid of.

This aggression, this abuse, this torture should not be allowed in any signatory nation to the ECHR (Human Rights Act).

My rights to be safe from torture, unusually cruel ill-treatment - breached. My right to a fair trial or even an assessment before I am detained - breached.

My right to freedom of speech, association and assembly - breached. 

My right to privacy and a private family life - breached.

And I was told haha you don’t know the law - we do.

Well check this out you sadists, you ignoramus mudda fulkas.

This will not stand.

This man wil not lay down and die.

This man will fight for his rights.

I will reclaim my rights

I will overcome

If I am not freed from my section tomorrow then this NHS trust is put on notice that I will refuse to eat or drink any and all food and water from 20.34 hours tomorrow 3rd January 2024.
