This evening, I went home via, a Lambeth Mind www.lambethmind.rg.uk facilitated, Hearing Voices Group.

Draft(E) of my film.

Excellent news. Draft (E) of my film. It is approximately four minutes in length.

In addition, today I attended my CPA at my local CMHT and conversed with Dr Kitty, my psychiatrist and Wendy, my Care coordinator for approximately one hour. As from tonight, my 'Stella' anti-psychotic medication has been reduced from 2mgs to 1mgs. Fantastic news for me. In addition I am being referred for psychotherapy.

Also more great news. This Thursday, I will be recording a Rethink www.rethink.org/ Radio Advert.
