It was also when I was 17 that I wrote my book "The Madhouse of Love" also in a kind of stream-of-consciousness style about my experiences in a psychiatric unit in my early teens.
I was alone and depressed at the time in a bedsit in London but that book was something good that came out of it.
I wrote it mostly spontaneously, only taking a few notes here and there, as all the memories just kept flooding back to me and I just felt that I had to write it all down.
