Oh my god yes!!!! My brother in law died by suicide nearly 3 years ago- he went to the hospital twice in the week leading up to his death and neither time there was anyone available from the Crisis team. He was found dead 2 days after the 2nd time he was turned away. Its not the hospitals fault, its a fundamental issue with how funds are apportioned but whenever I see 'my DMs are always open ' I want to scream. My sister always makes this point whenever she posts about mental health- you can talk till your blue in the face but a lot of time professional help is needed. Not fluffy pj's!!!Ok I’m on my soap box now. “Mental Health Awareness” week is a load of tit. I’m saying that as someone who has struggled with severe depression since my age was single digits. It means absolutely nothing and it annoys me every year! It’s just a week for influencers to post “relatable” sound bytes and use “be kind” as a reason to excuse their own crappy actions. It means about as much as those black squares people were posting for BLM. The only thing that matters is MORE FUNDING. Unless someone is talking about that and being proactive such as writing to MPs then I don’t want to hear it. I wonder if one single influencer has done anything like that?? Or donated to MIND?? duck off Kate.
