@Glisten forgive my ignorance but how is writing to an MP going to help? I struggle to communicate effectively with these services as it is and they just don't listen. The system won't change because they don't take us seriously. We're the mentally unstable... they'll just say we're over reacting or being melodramatic or attention seeking. Case in point i had a friend end his life while under a mental health order and they had to write a report...they blamed him for not "recovering" to their expectations and they ended the report with "his death was not avoidable" despite the fact they didn't do a welfare check when his mother asked them to. They don't care. They will find any reason to blame us rather than be held accountable for their actions. This state's health system survives on medical gaslighting keeping us desperate and vulnerable. And the MPs know damn well what's going on already.
