Been seeing these around Camberwell and other bits of SE London for the past year, all in the same handwriting. Anyone know what they’re going on about?

  2. This person is so unwell. Hope someone in their life is looking out for them in the midst of this delusional episode 

    Edit: changed ‘his’ to their’

  6. It’s more sensible than half the shit the government says. Definitely more interesting at least.

  8. I wonder the same. Please message me if you get to know something about this.

  11. I grew up around that area and with Maudsley Hospital (one of the largest mental health hospitals in the UK) up the road you have a lot of what we used to call ‘care in the community’ people around. Depending on the severity of their diagnosis they may not be bad enough to be institutionalised and will be housed in an area close to the hospital. I knew some very interesting characters growing up around there that were all Maudsley out-patients.

  14. Thought disorder, it’s probably because of schizophrenia.

  19. There were signs a bit like this around Clapham years ago. About winds blowing and rambling on and on. I guess there are just a fair number of people about with mental health issues who need an outlet.

  20. I’ve also seen these. You’ll also notice that possibly the same person has been writing over graffiti in the same area with similar nonsensical ramblings. Weirdly not ever writing their own but always over others. I hope they get well soon.

  23. My favourite is “Emma Watson masturbates. How brave.”

  24. Hope Oscar gets the help he needs. Mental illnesses is devastating.

  27. I know these are from a person with mental health issues, but I like to image that they are some code posted by mi5 to discover new recruits.

  30. What does German tennis player Oscar Otte have to do with this?

  31. Even the schizo’s are obsessed with American politics for some reason

  34. I saw a bunch of school kids putting something like this up at a bus stop. So it’s either kids doing it because they think it’s funny, or psychosis.

  35. Another sad commentary on mental health issues I’m afraid.

  37. They’re brain is showing you where it’s disconnected from reality specifically that their having trouble making cross connections due to over association

  39. I see signs just like this in Elephant and Castle – will try and get a pic next time to see if it’s the same handwriting
