UK what a messed up system!

gone

Hi all

Sorry for another moan, but my support worker is away, 'again.  I have contacted the Drs, CMHT, Friends, even the Police. 

Last week I was victim of a hate crime, basically accused of being gay all because i am 40 and choose to be single, this was in a cafe locally.  It wasnt a one off joke nope 45 mins. Ive not returned, I have reported to the local Police. 

I had a mental health meeting last night and I told them, they encouraged me to report it. I have. I also disclosed other stuff too.. (more on that another time)

I got home and wasnt with it, hearing loud voices and commands, its never been this bad, anyway i looked down and I had self harmed big time (both feet). I wasnt aware I was doing it. 

I spoke to GP, CMHT and even Shout and what a messed up system we have, when a neurodiverse man with severe mental health is asking for help, there is none, so as i write this I am scared, frightened and i dont feel safe with myself or anyone else at the moment yet the stupid system would prefer i went out and hurt myself or someone before, thats before getting any support. 

Theres not much hope. 

So what now ??

  • Hi  , I am sorry you are going through such a tough time. I am glad you have been prescribed some medication for your feet. Because you mentioned self-harm and not feeling safe, we post safeguarding information so you and others who might be going through a similar situation can get support if needed. It’s good that you’ve let us know what’s happening and how you’re feeling. Many people have similar thoughts when coping with so much and we hope you’re okay. 

    If you are unable to cope with the distress or despair, it’s very important to tell someone about your feelings or thoughts of suicide. The Samaritans provide confidential non-judgemental emotional support, 24 hours a day on 116 123, or by email on jo@samaritans.org. 

    MIND have information pages on coping with self harm or suicidal feelings based on the experiences of people who’ve been through it that you may find helpful.  

    If you are very close to doing something to hurt yourself - call 999 now or go to your nearest A&E department. There should be someone there to support you and make sure you get ongoing support.
