CC

I am not a Labor lackey, you are mental

ACT inability to deal with Crazy Chester is no surprise.

Bonfire, you appear nice on this blog?

Mental Health ACT is a joke.

However, coppers can take you to CH and then they can hold you for a few hours until you are assessed with NO access to a phone. You ask for lawyer, they deny you. You ask for a phone, they deny you.

No wonder people aren’t being treated.

As for CC, I understand the BS because I am STILL dealing with it myself and it’s been almost 2 years.

I’ve also asked through FOI for documents (my file etc) and been denied.

So they are only out to protect their own arses.

At least CC is taking them on. Most people walk away and those tools continue to do what they did before because NO ONE pulled them up.

Rant over.

binker good work.

she is not well. she may never get better.

i feel pity for her in a way. i know people with mental illness, and its sad that many friends desert them because they cant deal with the new person.

one friend, mad as a hetter, i still catch up with because even though hes mad, the occasional clarity and startling observations remind me of who he once was. even his ex-wife asks me how he is (out of guilt i assume – so much ‘for better or for worse’).

another has an absolutely fucked life and is constantly being locked up. hes the size of a tongan and the cops always arrive in force. i am sure that the simple act of recieving a phone call from me or my brother makes him feel better. we endure his rants and over time he comes good and is released until the next time. i know he has hit his mother but he has never struck me. ive seen the holes in the walls of his house. until he was diagnosed with his illness, everyone just thought he was a violent thug. sadly his medication dulls his whole life and he will never be able to hold down a job.

i think all men are judged by how they treat other people. abandoning sick peopel is cruel.

so i hope that crazychester has not alienated all her friends and family through her bizarre behaviour. maybe when medicated she’s ok.

but her bizarre vendettas and perspectives are amusing.

and if she stalked me i think she would find im not always as nice as i appear on this blog.

CrazyChester, you is crazy!

I would be amused if I didn’t feel so sorry for you. You need help. There is no shame in mental illness these days. Please, get some help.

LG Who is really cranky with the mental health system, because this woman probably WON’T be able to get health because of the systems inadequacies.

Who shagged who ? (ears pricking up)

CC sounds a bit like my mum’s neighbour.
She set fire to her own front yard, called the fire brigade and blamed my mum.
Apparently the white coats came for her because she wasn’t taking her meds.

lovely analysis binker.

You can get admitted to PSU without admitting to craziness. Firstly if the MHT has granted an assessment order (which means you have an appointment booked with a psychiatrist in the community) and you don’t show up then an apprehension order will (usually) be granted (to go with the assessment order) which means you get picked up and taken to TCH for up to 7 days (sometimes it can be for just an hour if you get assessed as soon as you arrive and there is manifestly no further need to observe you for assessment).
The other major way is that you are placed on an Emergency Detention by a Dr at TCH, having arrived at TCH under your own steam, via the courts/Corrective Services or being apprehended (aka green slipped/Emergency Action) under MH Leg by Police or Mental Health Officers.
Grounds for Emergency Detention by a Dr are danger to self or others, as a result of mental illness, no less restrictive treatment option etc. But because in the main purpose this legislation is to assist the person and protect the community (and mental illness is rarely a black and white thing) the grounds have to be met on a “reasonable belief” basis, and a reasonable belief does not have to be founded on what the patient says as often they will be unwilling or unable to communicate in any meaningful way or be deceptive, so you can take also sorts of other evidence into account (eg what the family, employer, colleague, police, nurses etc tell you).

Having said all that my guess is that CC is mad as a wheel, however doesn’t present the level of danger to herself or the community that would warrant continued detention in a psych unit, she probably doesn’t even warrant involuntary treatment in the community. Being a nutter on the interwebs is de rigueur, pestering the local authorities with emails is not dangerous, filming people is hardly dangerous (although in certain circumstances it may not be legal), stalking people is not always dangerous (if you’re a middle aged woman who has no history of violence etc). Breaching AVO’s is not always dangerous (although that is inherently a little contradictory, but for eg if the AVO says not to contact a certain person and you ring them and sing lullabies to them it’s a breach but there is no real danger).

So my guess is CC will remain at large probably untreated (prognosis for treatment of her disorder is poor anyway so even if treated she probably won’t get much better), thus she will continue to provide entertainment to the interwebs. Hooray.

And all this because some teacher shagged an 18yo student (quite legally), jealous???

it’s not hard to see the other side of the story by reading between the lines

that she’s been breaching AVO’s sadly doesn’t get mentioned much by her.

If some of these allegations she’s made about her recent experiences are true, then it is a bit of a worry.

I still think she’s a bit mad though! 🙂

I have no idea what the history on CC… but the few articles I have read the last few days here about her etc and comments have been quite amusing!
Keep the entertainment coming CC!

Aptly-named website, CC.
‘Raven’ mad indeed.

I’m sure if she got herself some legal council she could get access to these documents.
Surely, though, she must admit some craziness if she was ordered to the psych ward.
They don’t just ‘lock up’ anyone.
