About the Book

Pretempathy is a collection of over 30 poems, surrounding my own word for the pretentence of having empathy. These were written from my time as a lived experience NHS service user, of 29 Psychiatric Hospital inpatient admissions.

You'll either cry with laughter, or smile despite your tears. This will depend upon your perspective, your personality, if you can immerse yourself in a literal mental illness in prose, and just weep... or skim and mock, solely for entertainment.

You will either love to love or love to hate this book.

I really have, quite personally emptied my heart out onto these pages, so be prepared for the returning depths of delusion, despair and healing, amidst this prose, that aims to depict the chaos, the health care system. Also, how I've inwardly grown; just from accepting the correct help, and denying the wrong help. No help is better than the wrong help.

Surrounding the recognition of a past- with many a psychotic episode, and eventually, although left with the aftermath of a severe mental illness, my poetry depicts the progress I've made to continue treading water, to resurface: finally, however temporarily fragile in the process, that reality can seem.

There are many issues surrounding the emotional impact on the way society views the mentally afflicted, their treatment of, and the way certain behaviours from others may affect our own views towards ourselves.

To let go of all we think we know...
Compassion can become so freeing, and forgiveness can be a helpful way forward.

Recovery is not just an ideal destination, but the process of the rationalising of empathy, where imbalanced (i.e. biased towards others, or yourself...).

If you try to change something, then something might change, if you don't do anything, nothing can change.
