Can we just talk about how shit mental health services are in the U.K.?

I turn 18 so I get discharged from my nurse I have had my wholeeeee childhood. I’m told if I still want help I need to self refer. I didn’t. Given the nature of anxiety I could not pick up a phone. For four years I just left it. Then I then take all the courage to call this bloody help line, just to be told I’m not ill enough/ there is an 8 month wait for one to one treatment. So they are basically saying ‘you know that one to one treatment you had all through your childhood, yeah, you can’t have it as an adult!

I then literally try to kill myself and they discharge me the next day, I’m in my slippers, no money and I’m by myself. I actually walked home in my slippers, with a leflet in hand about self referring to the same service.

Why is there such an issue with consistent mental health service from childhood to adulthood?

if you didn’t believe that England hates Donald Trump already: the most recent news of his visit today is that the mayor of London approved protestors releasing a £16,000 Trump in-a-diaper balloon to fly 98ft above ground when he visits, and literally no British person is surprised. Welcome to London.

[isolate]

I’m literally not kidding

[isolate]

the people who are managing the balloon are called trump babysitters. I’ve never loved my country more.

[eligantly]

i fucking love this country. Trust us to make the president feel welcome

[isolate]

the best part about this is that trump expected to have a royally welcome visit but as soon as he made an appearance, thousands of angry British people started chanting “fuck trump!” on repreat for hours.

[eligantly]

UPDATE: Trump has managed to generate a bigger crowd than Obama did, but for all the wrong reasons. The entirety of London is filled with angry anti-trump protestors, to the point where he is refusing to make an appearance due to fear for his safety.

[isolate]

Here are some fucking awesome protest signs being shown today. I hope we’ve made you proud!

england, you’re doing amazing, sweetie, this made me so happy

[ironwoman359]

Ok, i’ve been seeing these all over today and I’ve been very happy, but I think “Trump wears poorly tailored suits” is the most hilarious and utterly British insult I’ve seen all day. It’s lovely.

“I don’t know how but when my parents Went seperate ways They took parts of me with them; They used them to better themselves. My mother she took my trust, my love, my commitment. She polemically used them to collide with another man as I looked on. I think she took my selfishness too. My dad. He took my spontaneity, happiness, and my passion. He used them to buy a bike. He just kept on riding away from his past. I think He went a little crazy. 4 years I spent. Wondering empty, Filled with nothing but a dark cavity. Searching to find these pieces on dingy dance floors and strangers beds after liquor fueled invitations; Promising men forever when what I actually meant was “your convenient”. But it’s okay, I’m getting back to my old self again now. Thanks. I owe you.”

When you fell in love with me, you brought my old pieces with you. // I love you.

[quotes]

Worrying means you suffer twice

[untamedunwanted]

One of the purest things that will ever happen to you is when you are having the worst day, and you’re rushing around mundane tasks inside your life trying to avoid catching up with yourself because you will crumble and you don’t want anyone to see that, and someone takes your hands and says “Hey, slow down. Just tell me what’s wrong.” Suddenly that huge hole inside your head and your heart feel just a bit better. Because someone does care. And someone loves you enough to know you need to crumble and doesn’t let you do it alone.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the moments. The moments to come, the moments that have been and the moment you’re living right now. The small and meaningless moments in life, the ones which are over in the blink of an eye, enjoy them. Enjoy them whilst you can, because one day you’re going to wish you had. One day you’re going to realize that those small moments are the ones you’re going to want to tell other people about. Enjoy the moments. At the end of the day, they’re all you have.
