I hope so, I support the NHS we are lucky to have it. I felt very let down by them when my daughter started suffering from mental health issues. Our GP was great but the telephone therapy the NHS gave her was rubbish and the waiting list for better therapy is ridiculous. We are very lucky that she goes to a very good college who has an amazing therapist and has been a great help.
The help we have had has made a huge difference, but the NHS has a long way to go where mental illness is concerned I'm sorry to say.
I no what you meen about NHS mental health I don't trust then what I going throwy life a mess thanks to them I very trust them again I very ill and my mental health really bad to 😂
Sorry words went wrong ment put my life. 😂
I no what you meen there let me down big time and did wrong 😂

Loneliness is being surrounded by lots of people stopping you from doing what you want. Happiness is being on your own and being free to do what you want.
We are grateful for support from:
