I was assured, I was promised, that I had a care plan, that staff care, are motivated & want to help.
Then I tried getting in touch with them.
Then, I felt like Iwas seen as pushy, as a problem, as a trouble maker for speaking out over those failings.
Cannot get a complaint logged over failings in care or care plan without it being allowed to reach 12 month, expiry or just getting the generic computer generated response.
Eventually this results in a forced discharge. Kicked off the system, just for asking for help and nothing more.
I've exhausted extensively every single channel within SHSC to get my voice heard and it seems to be impossible. From the top level down not one staff member has seemed to care about my situation.
Even with this organisation as well as Parliamentary Health Services Ombudsman I felt that I was deadlocked, letter out & silenced.
I don't feel able to speak or tell the truth without being silenced.
I have been unable to access mental health services and I believe this is because I spoke out about SHSC failings. I was whistleblowing on them and now I feel punished for doing so.
I don't believe that you will publish this, because it carries too many truths.
Yet we are told about mental health - Don't suffer in silence. It's good to talk. But when approaching mental health care teams, GP etc. I've been made to suffer in silence, bleeding my heart out, telling my life story, about my trauma and pain, all to what seems to be unlistening and uncaring ears.
"I am being 100% failed"
