My hands are dead bc I wash them so much, especially before eating bc I get stressed my hands are rly dirty and I'm going to get ill😅 They are only crusty, so I'm still not sure I have OCD bc sometimes I relate to some of the things, but less severe idk?
I worked as a porter in the MH in the 1960s - I was a student and this was a holiday job. I remember one sunny summer day helping a Doctor carry selected paintings from the Guttman-Maclay Art Collection out onto a lawn so that they could be photographed. I forget his name, but he was very friendly and happy to talk to me about the paintings and the artists who had done them. I worked in the hospital for three consecutive summers and covered absent posts (assisting in pharmacy, mortuary, general stores, etc.). Interesting memories.
i live just down the road and visit often, well worth an hour or so, not a very big place but the museum, the gallery of residents work, the gallery shop and grounds are all a great experience.
that's a beautiful and touching story about the girl that will remember her experience with you when she's changing her bedding- this brought a tear to my eye.
As a young man in the 1960's I belonged to a table-tennis club and played for the team in the South London League. One of the teams we played was Maudsley Hospital and I remember playing there and we were never sure if we were playing patients or staff.
Cubism and abstraction are not signs of schizophrenia or "mental degradation", these ideas are outrageous and offensive! Please let go of the outdated/wrong schizophrenia hypothesis, the man who put it forward, Maclay, a doctor in Bedlam, was another exploiter in Louis' life, he gained prominence through this unfounded idea and his quasi-collection "kaleidoscope cats" which is not even in chronological order. See opinions of today's doctors who contest the Maclay's quasi-idea that Louis' wonderful abstract Cubist-like imagery (allegedly inspired by patterns from his mother's textiles) is product of "deteriorated mind" - if it was product of destroyed mind it would be worthless gibberish, not beautiful intricate highly-structured images they are! Image named "Blue cat" is a classic image created in 1932., after he left Bedlam and after he created abstract images bad-mouthed by Maclay. "Blue cat" is a most classic non-abstract image, it is not true that Louis was unable to create classic images later in life, I am absolutely sure he created them until the end, and there is evidence of him doing so. If only Maclay and likes of him were able to create 1% of joy and goodness Louis Wain created, maybe they wouldn't venture into art-criticism and proclaim abstract art as "degradation", please don't give public space to the ideas of people like Maclay.

Anxiety is a pretty meaningless term outside of a strict terminological frame of reference, and the way the NHS uses it to save time and money is simply farcical. Nowadays doctors try and get you to confess to being anxious and fearful, so that all your physical problems can be pinned on this esoteric idea about psychological deficits and maladaptive coping strategies. No one listens anymore. They just go on and on and on about health anxiety being the root of all chronic diseases. If you got ill, it’s because you were anxious and unwilling to commit to social expectations. If you don’t get better, it’s because you’re anxious and unwilling to commit to social expectations. No other explanation is required. No in depth interviews, no tests, no proper investigations. According to the NHS, that is.
