The husband of someone I know died by suicide a few days ago. I can’t stop thinking about him and knowing how close I feel to it. I feel like there’s no point. Even MH services have said they’ve done all they can. If they can’t help me, what’s the point?

I’ve been trying to ignore Twitter because it’s too triggering. I see a conversation is still happening from a few days ago where an MHP said they’re concerned by comments made about a man who developed a programme that is harming ppl w/ mental illness.

A whole load of us have said how harmful & dismissive this MHP’s comment was yet they haven’t had the decency to apologise or address what they said & why it was wrong. How is anyone supposed to trust MHP’s when they continually harm us w/ impunity?

I’ll probably have services fully taken from me for this thread but I don’t care anymore. I’ve spent my life being silenced by my family. I’m not going to allow so-called professionals do it to me, especially when they’re supposed to help me deal w/ family trauma.
