Board Position At Stichting Verloren Jaren

When in 2010 I was told to have had a psychosis NAO*. They recommended a few books and movies to me. In 2018 I met the maker of the movie 'Verloren Jaren' (Lost Years), when I was making the app Reality Keeper. He was making a sequel on the years that followed after the movie Verloren Jaren had been made. I found it a good idea and took upon me the board position secretary with the Stichting Verloren Jaren and I discussed and searched for funding for this movie.

*There are more diseases with the same symptoms and in my case the symptoms disappear with rest. Because I was not left alone or taken to the emergency room, there was already a bias in working. My advice is to go to all doctor's appointments alone and always connect with mental health professionals through your general practitioner or hospital emergency department.

 Resign As Secretary Of Stichting Verloren Jaren

It was hard having the meetings and talking to the moviemaker. After the Stichting Verloren Jaren won another price money (5.000 euro) for the things the Stichting does with peer support and Stigma, I decided to resign immediately. The movie was published in a lean version, everybody got on with their lives and I decided I didn’t want to do anymore projects with these kinds of mental health groups. A group with other problems beside mental health that has to be tackled by professionals such as psychiatrist, addiction doctor, debt restructuring professional, etc.
