About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Adult mental health (inpatient)

(as the patient),

Through the looking glass and out the other side

I feel No Need Now to run and hide

Relentlessly Revelling in my own torment

I wrote the Songs of a youth misspent

You Can’t block everything out with Drugs and Drink

Circled the drain of a filthy Kitchen Sink

But the life that was placed in my trust

I made it my mission to Self Destruct

It took 11 days clean to realise my dreams

To Clear my head and release the Screams

I Am living proof for All to See

Don’t become a victim of one’s own mythology

To Those who intervened in time

I must thank, Line after Line!

Summer 2011

Hello, my name is Jane Danforth. My role involves helping our service users, volunteers and staff to understand that Notts Healthcare wants to hear stories about our services. We reply to every story and it really helps us to improve what we do, how we do it and to hear about what works well too.
