It’s quite laughable at the mistreatment of the mentally ill by the NHS. I wrote of my experience in mental health.

Then, shortly after, I wrote this

Well I have yet another update. That mental health professional Thando Magwaza lied to me, lost my personal paperwork, and it never was sent to the Democratic Therapeutic Community for the Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I rang them up. I recorded the call. A personal dictaphone or recorder could be a helpful asset if you, too, are being pissed around by anyone, employer, NHS, GP etc, because the Android and iPhone updates disallow phone calls from being recorded, when it used to record fine.

And get this. In order to receive Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, I need to be under NHS secondary care, which is only through a psychologist. I’ve had clinical psychologist TWICE, and didn’t help my condition. So now in order to get this therapy, I need to ask my GP to refer me for psychology AGAIN, just so I can ask the therapist to fill in a bloody form for referral to DBT. It’s an absolute joke how taxpayers money is wasted every day.

The NHS is an absolute joke, and UK labour and my own MP, Paul Waugh, doesn’t seem to give a shit about the mentally ill either. How on earth these lemons got into power, I’ll never know. No doubt he is kneeling to his two tier ‘racist toward the British people’ leader.

Sad times!
