To be the box or the tiger?

Me too.

Trust me, you DO NOT want to use the NHS for mental health stuff.

Too much of my c/ptsd is from nhsmh services now. The sheer amount of blatantly ignored abuse on those wards has left me terrified of hospitals, healthcare workers and doctors. They can do anything to you in there and you have no voice or rights. They decide what gets written down about you. They decide what happens to you and you belongings.

I’ve been told by several people who’ve been in/worked in prisons, that you have more rights and safety oversights in prisons that on mh wards here.

Out patient care is not much better either. 5+ year waiting lists for 30 minutes of cbt ever 6 weeks to treat your suicidal depression brought on by chronically shit living conditions, isn’t going to be at all helpful. Nor is 7+ years on a waiting list to see a burnt out healthcare worker for ten minutes, who immediatly decides you’re malingering without listening to you or reading your supporting paper work, so you are now deemed unworthy of progressing up the ladder to join a waiting list to see a specialist for your condition.

At least in the uk they let us keep our phones and provide free wifi/Internet access.

Or a platypus.

Just wait, it gets worse. Global fresh water demand will outstrip supply by 40% by 2030 and 90% of global top soil and arable land is at risk of depletion by 2050.

Hungry for thumbs

When it comes to that I believe it to be more reasonable to discuss who ought and who oughtn’t be a parent than whether it’s ethical or not to have kids.

Eugenics is not going to reduce suffering in the world.

Objectively: It’s entropy, life is part of the process for dismantling the universe.

Subjectively: It’s whatever you like. Personally I find a lot of comfort in the objective view.
