This has been going on for many years.
My husband has been asking for help since he was in his late teens and he is now in his mid 30's. He has severe mental health issues, and has been diagnosed with all different mental illnesses, with his recent one as Complex PTSD. He has been passed from pillar to post and back in 2022 confirmed by a Senior Nurse that best practices were not used with his care! Two years later we're still not getting any help whatsoever and we are so lost, frustrated, confused after a recent meeting where he begged and begged for help. None is being given even though he has been with this service for two years & been placed on provisional detox dates!
He drinks because he is not receiving any help at all and needs help! Most recent doctor confirmed he self medicates with drink. Most of his meds have been stopped however this hasn’t stopped his paranoia, his anxiety, his depression, his anger and the voice that he has 24/7.
We've experienced losing a friend because they did not receive enough help for their problems. The system hasn't worked for us and there is a young man begging for help to save his life.
I don’t know what else to do anymore, I’m completely heartbroken that the man I love is suffering in pain, he feels like he is dying daily, he says it’s life! But it’s his life and he doesn’t deserve this treatment and this failure - no one does.
