Hi, I'm a person living in the North East of England who has schizophrenia. I have been in and out of hospital between 2001-2004. This blog will be notes about my experiences as a patient (aka client) both in hospital and in the community. I can be contacted via email to ian DOT bruntlett AT gmail.com (delete the "DOT", "AT" and spaces from that email address). What is schizopanic? Its the panic that flashes through someone's eyes when you tell them you've got schizophrenia.

Cinema and Mental Health
I went to see Blue Jasmine recently. It was a good film with a real life kind of ending. Cate Blanchett was excellent as Jasmine. We get to see the side effects of a mental health problem but it's not mentioned in the film's dialogue - but Jasmine does take a lot of pills.

Reasons why Sheldon is not like me.
- Sheldon plays MMORPGs (World of Warcraft) online. I run a RPG (Traveller) IRL (In Real Life).
- Sheldon has a Doctorate in Physics. I have a Degree in I.T (Information Technology).
- Sheldon writes Java applets. I am a C++ programmer migrating from Windows to Linux.
- Sheldon reads Marvell Comics. I read Sandman graphics novels.
- Sheldon watches science fiction written by amateurs. I read science fiction written by gifted authors.
- Sheldon says Bazinga. I say Woot Woot.
- Sheldon endlessly promotes his high intelligence. I endlessly promote FLOSS (free) software especially Linux.
Reasons why Sheldon is like me.
- We've both got OCD.
- We're both highly susceptible to stimulants.
