            Justnow, Vivian the Occupational Therapist (OT) rounded up the people to go forOccupational Therapy (OT). I wasn’t allowed to go! Because she “read my casenotes” and found out I was “fairly argumentative” this week and that I refusedto eat my lithium (my medicine). What? I ate my lithium yesterday and vomited 3times! My first vomit was on Monday and I didn’t want to eat the medicineanymore until yesterday, so how can you say that I don’t eat my lithium? How amI “fairly argumentative”? I don’t remember arguing with anyone and even if I “fairlyargued”, I pointed out that this patient – YYC was rounded up to gofor OT too! She was the one who shouted in the middle of the night yesterdaynight and used a slipper to slap a patient this week! And she got tied becauseof that! Of all the people you round up to go for OT, you chose aslipper-slapper instead of a “fairly argumentative” person to go for OT? Sheclaims “She knows what’s she’s doing”. I think it’s unfair! She says “don’tcompare yourself to the others”. If you’re telling me not to compare myselfwith others, then why are you reading my case notes and comparing my behaviourto your better standards? Me going to OT, when did it depend on my behaviour inthe ward? I didn’t behave very badly too! Oh, the pains of having to stay inthe dormitory while a group of patients can have the freedom of going into anair-conditioned room and do some Occupational Therapy. Occupational Therapykeeps my mind off living in a jail-like sentence IMH day-in day-out doingnothing everyday. This nothing-to-doness makes me wanna misbehave more. And viciouscycle occurs. Vivian, be here to break the vicious cycle, show me favour, giveme a second chance even though I misbehaved. I have been behaving so well inyour OT sessions. What crap is this.

PS. Chow Jee Huiwas also rounded up to go for OT session. She misbehaved! Just look at herlocker. It is full of her writings on it! Blue, black, and red, scribbled allover the locker side. Vandalism? Little do the nurses know...

Further examplewould be that when we are doing sewing crafts-work, I asked for more cotton andif I could dismantle a part of the sewn clothe to put in more cotton when Ihave already sewn up everything, it is written I am disruptive in the OTsession by my Occupational Therapist. I don’t understand why is it calleddisruptive – a bad behaviour. I asked the therapist once if time would allow,allow me to dismantle and remake my soft toy with more cotton, me asking thetherapist to redo my work might seem that I didn’t plan well. But I did notdisrupt the calss at all by all means! Heavens sake, stop maligning me. That’swhy, I don’t wanna base my necessities or ‘privileges’ on my documented “behaviours” in the ward! Because Ican behave very well but if small things like these issues happen, it wouldjust leave a black mark on my record and jeopardise my whole necessities. Andmost importantly, if there is a documented misbehaviour that is FIND OUT isthat really a bad behaviour, DID I REALLY DO IT? Or WHY DID I DO IT? Instead ofimmediately not letting me down to paroles, outings, phonecalls and visitorswhich you all have been doing so.
