Yesterday, after the publication of my interview with Stuart Hughes appeared on the BBC website, I was overwhelmed with messages via my blog and Twitter.
A lot of people praised my honesty and bravery, very many people shared their own experiences and lots of people offered their support in any future campaigns to improve services for those with mental health problems.
I am humbled by the responses.
I have published all of the comments sent anonymously and some that are less personal, if your comment has been posted and you want it removed just let me know.
I intend to continue blogging and tweeting so please keep reading and commenting, this all feels a little less futile if I can see it as preparation for battle…..
