Back in 2015, I fucked up really badly and not only did I previously lose my job and my friends, but I also lost my clean record and my freelance business which was starting to take off, and now I’m a criminal with mental health issues.

The question is should I have been brought to court with a mental health problem.

Let alone be charged?

Especially when I had self-harmed when I was charged with Stalking, Perverting the course of Justice and Assault with intent and resisting arrest.

In fact, all three of those charges were wrong. I was later charged with Battery and Perverting the course of justice.

Despite the fact I never assaulted anyone, and it was me who was assaulted.

Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police pushed their way into my home and started kicking and kneeing my radiator and kneeing me in the back, causing a bulging L5 disc affecting both sides of my back.

Perverting the course of justice wasn’t in fact that, how can I pervert the course of justice before I had even met a police officer.

I had an argument with an ex-friend because she had my money and equipment and when I tried to recover it she threatened to call the boys in blue on me and tricked me into giving her my address so she could go to the police.

However, when I asked my Psychiatrist for this in writing he then said: “Are you sure you weren’t drunk at the time”?

Due to my condition which is thought to be Bipolar and the Psychiatrist told me that I was probably on a high, although I have no memory of doing this.

I stupidly, fucked up by calling the police pretending to be my ex-friend and cancelling the complaint to the police.

My Psychiatric doctor then said he couldn’t get involved due to a conflict of interest.

He told the Police that I was fit to attend their investigation, despite me being suicidal and slitting my wrists following the news that I was being charged with three accounts.

How was I supposed to know she would do this to me!

I was taught never to grass it’s the worst betrayal ever.

Even one of my old school friends, who saw me a few years ago, remembered me for not liking people who grass and that they should have their heads flushed down the toilet.

I know I can sense things before they happen and I’ve had these premonitions’ since I was a child; I am not entirely psychic otherwise I would be able to predict the lottery numbers.

I can only predict when bad things are about to happen, the voices speak to me.

I’m not saying that someone with mental health issues should get away with doing something wrong, I’m saying that treatment should be in place and that they shouldn’t have to live with having a mental health issue for the rest of their lives by suddenly becoming a mad criminal.

People with mental health issues are discriminated enough, especially when it comes to employers, let alone having to deal with a criminal record.

I think individuals who are criminalised due to mental health issues should start campaigning to get their criminal records wiped?

Have you ever fucked up due to a mental health issue and been criminally charged?
