My mind is cracking but my amazing girlfriend of 1 year has stood by me, supported me and loved me no matter what. She is really quite an amazing woman. I cant describe how much I love her, how much she means to me and where I would be without out. My mind might not have a direction, but my heart does.
My OCD gets worse everyday, I cant even have a smoke without having to wash my hands 3-5 times. I dont understand why and it really makes me frustrated. I have aksed for help, fuck that I have begged for help from the mental health services and they have just let me down totally. I was really suicidal last night, actually standing there ready to cut my wrists and all they told me to do was to 'get a taxi to the hospital'. Great advice, really helpful.
The UK needs a change of attitude. We are not in Victorian times anymore. I am not crazy and I am not stupid. I am a human being and deserve the same resepct as everyone else. I do not need to be talked down to or treated like a child.
I have written emails and called everyone I can think of asking for help, even the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition. Any replies? Of course not.
Considering 90% of suicide victims suffer from mental health problems you would think the services would want to do more to help, obviously not.

Piers,sweety Im really sorry the system over there is so terrible. I wish that somehow you could come here to America, atleast the hotlines here will stay on the phone with you for as long as you want. :( I wish there was something I could do for you.

i love you so much too angel, you mean the world to me i hate that you're suffering, you will get better though i have so much faith.
It does shock me how little the mental health services are doing :( there should be at least hotlines you can call. I know how frustrating it is :( I know it's not the same as a profesional but you can talk to me whenever you need me :) i'm always here for you

i am sorry the system is so bad there. i dont know how things work over there but do they acknowledge petitions? if you maybe had a lot of people sign one with documented facts and statistics that they cant deny then maybe they would have to open their eyes and take notice. Just a thought. i hope thing get better.
