I had enough of poor mental health for a number of years. I tried to get an appointment with my GP, only to be told there are no appointments. By chance Sarah took my call, mental health nurse. That phone call changed everything. She listened to me as person, not as a diagnosis. We worked together for a solution. I wasn't well and i used the crisis team for a while. The solution was to take more medication. Came to a point i didn't want to be here anymore. I had gone through the system, after a suicide attempt i was still left alone. I saw Sarah again and we worked out a plan. I got into therapy. The only positive support i got was from Sarah. Crisis team were indifferent and some help. I understand that everything is under funded.
