If you've been reading my blog long enough to have seen my post 'Silence speaks louder than words?' then you've been here a long time. There is a a sentence in this post which says " What suddenly made the cry for help become a whisper?" At first I blamed society, friends, family, ignorance. Now, I'm not so sure.
For me and my experience trying to get professional help, it seems that the people aren't exactly professional or helpful. It's not that professionals don't hear our cry for help they simply shut them up, block them out, arentintheslightestbitinterestedunlessyou'reabouttodropdowndead.
I've been passed from pillar to post and gone all round the hat-rack trying to get people to listen to my cry for help. I've been unsuccessful on every occasion. Not meeting the physical criteria for a mental illness. Not getting help from one one service because another is supposedly helping. Being too ill and not being ill enough. Nobody cares, nobody want's to help. My crys for help have been ignored, the professionals have turned the cry into a whisper.
It's actually appalling that people who ask for help are refused it, they're left to slip through the gaps.
Where do I even go from here?
