‘last tra<strong>in</strong>’ at 5.05pm!) I was expected to just ‘leap on a<br />

tra<strong>in</strong>’ <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> unknown – <strong>after</strong> all of two months<br />

languish<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> mental hospital! In <strong>the</strong> end <strong>the</strong>re was a<br />

furious row about all <strong>the</strong>se phone calls, <strong>the</strong>y suddenly<br />

stopped, and I heard noth<strong>in</strong>g from any member of my<br />

family, enjoy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>mselves down <strong>in</strong> Sussex, <strong>with</strong> me<br />

meanwhile stuck back here at home all alone for only<br />

Christmas like that ever – for <strong>the</strong> <strong>next</strong> three whole days…!<br />

6. So started <strong>the</strong> worst three days of Christmas – 25 th to 27 th<br />

December – that I had ever known – all by myself – only<br />

see<strong>in</strong>g just one person, Julie, for half an hour on<br />

Thursday! I had no dr<strong>in</strong>k for <strong>the</strong> first two days, mostly<br />

lived on coffee and water to dr<strong>in</strong>k, and my only food on<br />

Christmas Day – was a nearly stale bap, <strong>with</strong> margar<strong>in</strong>e<br />

and nearly off slices of ham! On Box<strong>in</strong>g day I went out<br />

and found one shop open briefly, so did buy some <strong>more</strong><br />

food. I got a phone call from Nurs<strong>in</strong>g Sister Wrecker on<br />

Thursday <strong>after</strong>noon ask<strong>in</strong>g how Christmas had been, to<br />

which she got a ra<strong>the</strong>r short reply! Then she said if I<br />

came <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>next</strong> <strong>after</strong>noon, Friday, Roberts would give me<br />

<strong>more</strong> leave – for hopefully a half decent New Year. I duly<br />

got <strong>the</strong> bus – but <strong>in</strong>stead of <strong>more</strong> leave – it was all<br />

cancelled – even off <strong>the</strong> Ward – for New Year and <strong>the</strong><br />

duration. Then it turned out that that would be for a long<br />

time – Roberts was tak<strong>in</strong>g even <strong>more</strong> leave herself from<br />

Sunday 30 th – for yet ano<strong>the</strong>r two week holiday – <strong>in</strong><br />

Bermuda if you please! At that I christened her ‘Dr Billie<br />

Holidays’ – a white doctor who took loads and loads of<br />

spare time, <strong>in</strong> which she presumably blacked up and sang<br />

jazz songs! So a totally and utterly miserable Christmas<br />

was compounded by a locked up New Year to follow,<br />

ra<strong>the</strong>r than mak<strong>in</strong>g up for <strong>the</strong> Christmas I had lost by<br />

spend<strong>in</strong>g that New Year <strong>with</strong> my family <strong>in</strong> Sussex, as I had<br />

hoped and Wrecker had let me believe yesterday!<br />

A strangely excit<strong>in</strong>g New Year’s Day follows all this! My<br />

weekend had been quiet, apart from compla<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g about be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

conf<strong>in</strong>ed to <strong>the</strong> ward <strong>after</strong> lots of leave, to all and sundry; but<br />

on <strong>the</strong> Monday I had a long chat <strong>with</strong> Dr Matt Angell about<br />

medication, and he readily agreed to change my haldol depot<br />

back aga<strong>in</strong> to 400mg amisulpride twice a day. There was no<br />
