Art & book junkie. Male. 52. Working-class. Mental patient.

I have Schizoaffective Disorder (a combination of Schizophrenia & Bipolar Disorder) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Obligatory idées fixes are the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), the Taxpayers’ Alliance and Alexa Chung.

I have been a rough sleeper and have an impressive homelessness portfolio including Soho streets, hostels, squats/derelict buildings, local authority temporary accommodation etc.

I have one O level (Geography).

I fancy myself as a bit of an autodidact. More Ernest Hemingway/Frida Kahlo than Adolf Hitler.

I have been a voluntary sector playboy, writing fundraising applications for small charities and community groups and undertaking web design. I now do occasional voluntary work when mental health permits.

I write about mental health, assorted arts wankery and life as one of the abandoned. I try to get my facts straight. I’m not making any promises about the grammar.

Please note I’m going to punch the next person on Twitter who calls me a hipster: apart from being 52 (!) I have a proud industrial working-class heritage. One of my favourite accounts on Instagram is blackcountrytype.

I intend to sell your personal data to buy beautiful art books from the V&A.

Social media, obviously

Instagram
Twitter

On Instagram there is a record of my art gallery visits and mini-blogging of mental health moaning. I’m pioneering the hashtag #mentalwordoftheday.

There are people on Twitter who think they should be running the country, who’d launch nuclear weapons if you disagree with their retweet policy. I post things to entertain my adoring followers (well, myself mainly). Otherwise, I go on a couple of times a week to talk mental health stuff.
