A night to remember. Hackney has more recently been blessed with a reputation for art, culture, diversity .. old factories converted into trendy apartments, ever expanding fair-trade markets, music venues opening in shop basements.. not forgetting the 2012 olympics being built. I was sitting outside my local boozer The Tiger having an ice cold GnT in the cool breeze of the sweltering heat and five police riot vans sped past, towards Homerton High Street which leads to Mare Street via Morning Lane. Then came the helicopters. The news of Riots taking place on Mare Street appeared on the TV in the pub and one by one people started leaving to get home before the riots spread. One by one small businesses, be it shops, pubs, restaurants.. closed up. Those that wanted to remain open for business turned off their lights to attract attention. I went for a short walk which felt like a scene from <i>28 Days Later </i>had I have turned a corner onto Mare Street it would be just like the live footage from Sky News, BBC and ITV News seen all over the country.<br />

This was not one of them, but it still failed to open the following day.<br />
<br />
I spoke to a local resident outside the bank queueing up for the cash point who didn't want to be photographed but had bought four brooms, dust pans and brushes, encouraging the community to help clear the mess. Angered by what had happened, especially in the Clapham riots - where a building was set on fire - she cleared out the two spare rooms in her house incase the rioters returned and did something similar and residents needed refuge. She was so sure that the rioters were coming back she whispered to me "I'm gonna withdraw all the money in my account because after they've come back there'll be nothing left".<br />

His publications include poetry <i>White Works, I've done nothing wrong today, The Spaceman Cometh and Lull.</i><u></u></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

He is wary of sounding melancholic and is currently being inspired by Andrew Pidoux's poetry <i>Year of the Lion</i>, though talking to Alex I get a strong sense that his biggest inspiration is his nan Daisy who is present in some of him short films and stills, with references made to her in his poetry. She herself used to write poetry . She seems to light him up with her deep set values, after all, are mini cheddars biscuits or crisps? Alex has just been to visit Daisy in hospital where she is much better but has another burning issue.. the milk, and for that reason the family smuggles in her evaporated milk or <i>My milk. </i>He has a sense of warmth about him as he talks of her "She's been my rock, she's seen it all, she's always been there for me" He is talking about his own stays in hospital as a result of his mental health. Although Alex does not believe his work to be creative consequences of his mental health, he does believe that his art and his well being could be linked subconsciously.. "I have no idea which came first, art or mental health,how early can the signs of mental illness be seen and how do you separate it from your character?"</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

"In a drawing class the boys were told to draw a car and the girls were told to draw a dress. I finished the car before the rest of the class so I decided to draw the dress as well" and developed a love of fashion design and, as an avid <i>X-Men </i>comic collector, cartoon stenciling . Before this he wanted to be a lawyer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

This visual expedition is evident in his performance art and short films where we watch him complete a sequence from beginning to end, the beginning being the ingredient. This format is evident in the title of his blog <i>The man Without A Reference.</i><u></u><u></u></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

He keeps pretty up to date with new science stuff and explained to me that pain-killers have been proved to help with intrusive/ compulsive negative thinking (the stuff that bugs me the most). The upshot of the research is that compulsive thinking actually creates emotional stress/pain in the same part of the brain that tells our bodies that they are experiencing physical pain. Early tests seem to show that paracetamol is the most effective drug in inhibiting receptors in that part of the brain. Thus - paracetamol (or similar drugs) are likely to be part of the formulation of future anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs.</span></span></span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 13px/normal 'Courier New'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 16px/normal 'Courier New'; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Could this explain why some of us are addicted to painkillers?

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This place is worth a mention, it's the Victoria pub Mile End (Just outside Hackney, I've cheated a bit) known for it's live music, poetry, art and events. It's also a family run pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sunday just gone they have their monthly All Day Burger Blues with cinema screening of The Man With No Face, World Of Curiosity jumble and burgers on tap.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's in the current issue of "Uncovered" magazine - a glossy best selling mental health mag sold in the UK, USA and Australia. The mag itself is a really good read - it's a feel good and also an eye-opener - and it's had some decent press itself. I'm trying to get into journalism (I did a stint at Bizarre magazine - a very controversial magazine, more eye stapler than eye opener) and so I sent an email to the editor, Charlotte Fanelli, who stumbled across the blog (I didn't think people actually clicked on signature links, they just look pretty).</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Here's some of the things they printed..</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">"Within minutes of clicking I was hooked! This witty charming and bluntly honest description of a persons struggle with bipolar disorder is a breath of fresh air.

Growing up in Cambridge, Pink Floyd were no strangers to the generation before me. His mum lived two streets away and my dad used to lug their gear around. Syd, in his post Floyd later days returned from North London to Cambridge and put his energy into his art. During this time I often saw him around town, in his big headphones and long trench-coat (even in the sweltering heat) in a world of his own.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend getting yourself to his exhibition in Shoreditch.<br />

</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Many people still have the old fashioned images of people with mental health - rocking backwards and forwards, shouting at no one in particular in the street etc - but since the eigteen hundreds where the public display of people with mental health in circus’s and torture of patients in mental hospitals were finally abolished and we intergrated into “normal” society, we can be much less easy to point out. </span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Putting a hundred people in a room and guessing which ones are affected my mental health is like a lifesize game of <i>Guess Who </i>without questions. It’s a difficult game, especially considering that statistically a whopping twenty five of those will have been or will be affected by mental health at some point in there life. One of those people will have a severe mental health condition.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I think that just as people are singled out because they come across as having a mental health problem, it is also hard having a mental health <i>without </i>coming across as having a mental health problem. People can expect too much of you thinking “Well s/he doesn’t <i>look </i>unwell.. /s/he <i>looks </i>as though she’s coping ok” With mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder we have periods of wellness, during this time we may well function and take on tasks and responsibilities as though unafected. However, we are likely to be taking mood stabilisers or other drugs to help us sustain these periods, and episodes can be triggered by stress, lack of sleep and other external factors. Also, when we are towards the high end of the scale we can take on everything, leading people to think we are more than compotent and expect that of us all the time. When I worked in nursing many years ago I was the first to be asked to do a double shift if someone called in sick, even if this mean’t doing a day shift followed by a night shift. And of course after a while I’d burn out, hit rock bottom and be off for weeks, even months.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Another reason it is hard is - believe it or not - the stigma that comes <i>not </i>coming accross with having a mental health problem. As an example I have been in various places as a result of my mental health where other service users have said things such as “You look to <i>well to do</i> to be here.. you don’t look like you fit in here etc..” and if these were by way of some kind of compliments they did not work.</span></div>Seesaw seating planhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05026260423397180949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910019295469191415.post-50042002623038450102011-03-19T11:51:00.000-07:002011-03-19T11:53:15.275-07:00Forget Who You Are<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikn3ecDd5yy9zNub7bcyge0dYzcXq9jdANZYYhg_HMcg_CGKdo24Ku2p_mWesOJl111eHvn-vm0AJK8zkzXedxZyj7bWfQ43f2fN-0ByawGkAAZLz1HtmIlrp-H6E8YUS82TbfLfcYR2wQ/s1600/P1060113.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikn3ecDd5yy9zNub7bcyge0dYzcXq9jdANZYYhg_HMcg_CGKdo24Ku2p_mWesOJl111eHvn-vm0AJK8zkzXedxZyj7bWfQ43f2fN-0ByawGkAAZLz1HtmIlrp-H6E8YUS82TbfLfcYR2wQ/s320/P1060113.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Last time I saw this fella was backstage in a dingy basement in a club in Edinburgh scrawling bullet points on his hands. It was the Edinburgh Festival and we were on the same bill at a stand up show. Four years later I bump into him at the Kats n Dogs night at the Victoria Dalston Cross. He is "Captain Rant" and things must be looking up for him because look at those nice clean hands.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Personally I believe all psychiatric drugs should be prescribed by a psychiatrist rather than a GP because a good shrink is more likely to know more about your personal (or <i>personnel</i>) needs - motivational, practical - rather than just whether you have high blood pressure or webbed feet.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Many depression sufferers are artistic. It's a chicken or egg situation - as artists we tend to be perfectionists and prone to feelings of failure which can stimulate depression... when depressed we are more open minded, however negative, and tend to be at our most artistic. There are novelists, musicians and painters dating back to (ahem, I wish I paid more attention at school) a <i>long time </i>ago who back up this theory.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">But are anti-depressants a solution for artists?</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I met with a musician yesterday. A talented man with proven success and all the frills of fame and fortune. Although he cannot see it. He suffers from acute depression and is currently on a high dose of anti-depressants. He was first put on these after a suicide attempt, however, as his dose has increased over the last two years he has made three more attempts which have landed him in intensive care. He told me that the tablets' side effects <i>mute </i>his love of music, music is his life and he simply cannot face life without music. </div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">So, we are faced with a choice, mend ourselves with anti-depressants which curb depression but can numb our artistic passion which in turn can make us depressed again, or mend ourselves with that very artistic passion but continue to be depressed.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Hmm.. as both artist(ic) and a manic depressive I can see both sides of this argument I seem to have created. My choice, and this is not the answer, was to meet in the middle. I reduced my dose to a safe point where I don't hit rock bottom and can create art <i>sometimes. </i></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><i></i></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Best of luck if you're ever faced with this decision.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><br />
