It's odd. Being away it's as though nothing was happening anywhere else. Just us enjoying the sun in between the showers and the sights and smells. Now it's all over again and I have to get used to getting my head around the fact that the book is being published next week. From a thought to a paperback. Quite something.
I have the piece in Stella coming out on Sunday. Then the launch and now an interview on Radio 4's Excess Baggage regarding repatriation! Well, I think I remember enough about that! My presentation skills are something to be desired. I'm practicing but it's hard... Hopefully I won't make too much of an idiot of myself. I don't really know what everyone expects. Googling the book and it shows up on all sorts of sites; one of which is solely dedicated to mental illness - so I've hit the button there, then! Presumably once it goes there, then other mental health resources will show it too... Three books about mental health problems were reviewed in the papers last weekend. God - you wait for a bus, then three come along at once!

Here I will be writing about.....
My Name is Ros Morris. This is my blog.
'Don't Wait for Me' was written in response to my own desperation for the lack of anything written in this country about the difficulties and fears living with someone with Bipolar disorder. Indeed, any mental illness.
I decided to write a blog to reflect my feelings about the mental health services, news items and current affairs. I can't say that I'm a fan of the mental health services in this country. They just don't seem to get it. Too many people slide through the bureaucracy that stymies help reaching vulnerable people. Too many people in the 'profession' do too little, constrained by their using 'human rights' as a way of keeping the desperately ill out of hospital and, effectively, on the streets.
My readers may well not agree with all that I write. You may not agree with my political views. That's fine. There's the comments section for that.
