Patient 5
The Peaks, Rampton Hospital
Picture 1 - “ When I read the different categories for the exhibition I thought of
The word pressure. Pressures of society, pressures of the system and the pressures of being labelled a PD. Everyone wants me to be the shiny, bright rainbow - that’s me on the outside. When I am squeezed, when I am under pressure the feelings come out – my real feelings. The hand is the pressure, the tube is what people want to see and the toothpaste is I. The cut on the wrist is how I release the pressure and the words are what I feel.
