Mental Patient
The FIRST encounter.
My first encounter of a mental health patient was long ago. Maybe less than 5 years-old. I didn't know nothing about it. The patient was usually very quiet, didn't talk much. Expressionless... The patient was ok before that. Working as a school teacher. Then suddenly it struck like a lightning bolt. One day, it just happened. After a few years of curing, and hell a lot of money spent. The problem was finally cured.
The SECOND memorable encounter.
I think i was in Standard 3 or Standard 2. We were studying in the class. We heard some commotion outside of the class. But i didn't pay attention to it. I was still listening to the teacher. And then... HE came in to my class. He was running at the front of the class. Most of them, my classmates were running helter skelter. Strange enough, I was still sitting on at my place. I was still pretty calm. Not feeling a thing.. and just waited for the guy to go out after he finished his business.
What I WANTED to SAY.
My friend had an encounter a few weeks ago. And he and the colleague only realise that the person (she) was a patient when they were told by someone who used to work with the girl.
The girl was giving a lot of trouble to the company and my friend of course... And everybody was really scared of her. And they try to minimize contacts with her, if possible. I know, when someone is really to hard to handle, we will try to avoid them as much as possible. Even i'll do the same.
But from what I heard from my friend, everyone was pretty scared of her. And some, I think till the point of feeling disgust with her behaviour. Even I wasn't experiencing it first hand, I could tell that this girl was pretty hard to handle. Always full of exaggerated behaviour.
After my friend told me that the girl was a mental patient, i could really felt sorry for her. I do seriously think that sometimes she can't even know what's wrong and what's right in her behaviour. Now everyone is talking bout the girl (after the truth came out). If i were my friend, i would really like to forget the whole incident. She really gives him a scare. But my friend here was not read to forgive and forgot. I felt pity for the girl. Her journey in life is still very long. And she needs to make a living too. But the condition could become a hindrance for her future employment. I really could wish the family could really cure her.
To the people who blames them (the mental health patient), i think the patient did not choose to end up this way. Even though they might hurt you mentally or psychically, I'm sure it's not intentional.
