Mental Health History

In the process of ending my long relationship with my girlfriend, I left Toronto for the summer of 1970 to work at Columbus Boys’ Camp, a Catholic camp for disadvantaged boys. Nineteen years of age, I worked in the kitchen, where I promptly fell in love with a male co-worker. This was hopeless. Relationships seemed futile. This too painful revelation led to a psychotic insight that God would rescue me from my pain by killing me. Luckily for me I never felt I had to help kill myself. I told people about my impending death and massive alarms arose.

Mania followed me home from the camp. After a successful “A” average year at St. Michael’s College at the University Of Toronto the previous year, I now tried a second year. This became impossible and I landed in hospital after Christmas. I mourned the loss of a year of my young life. I now carried the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Anyone suffering psychosis in 1970 would be thus labeled. In my case it was a wrong diagnosis. It would not be corrected for twenty three years.
