I went to a funeral the other day where a young Mental Health nurse had taken her own life leaving two young children. Bloody devastating. | |

My daughter worked with her, trained with her and went to the funeral too.
She was greatly upset when she heard. So many lives are affected. [Post edited 1 May 2018 8:36]

From my experiences the Mental Health Services are the poor relations of the NHS and under huge pressure. Vulnerable people are being let down. |  | | |

Correct. services in the last 5 or so years have been hit badly, despite the claims from the Gov they are trying do do more. |  | | |

Indeed.
Try getting a referral for your child to CAHMS or for almost any type of therapy.
It's a long wait, if you get it at all.
Same, if not worse, with Adult Services.
Both are so badly underfunded. |  |

CAHMS, one of the worse organisations I have ever dealt with. | | | |

If you are seriously mentally ill in this area they put you in Cefn Coed, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
The place should have been razed to the ground decades ago. It is unfit for purpose and a disgrace that it's still in use.
Mental illness is every bit as serious as physical illness, for which, in this area we have 2 very good hospitals, Morriston and Singleton. What are the mentally ill given - Cefn Coed.
Experiencing serious mental illness is horrendous and seeing a loved one suffer with it is heart breaking. Seeing them in that awful place makes you despair.
It still stands on the hill like a ghastly monument, and a constant reminder of the failings of the NHS to provide adequately for the needs of the mentally ill.

The staff there do a very difficult job under very trying circumstances.
I certainly couldn't do it. | | | |

The fact is.. the majority of people who are mentally ill are drug addicts, alcholics.. who are effectively brain damaged.. this is over a 20 or 30 year span of excessive use..
90% of the population consume alcohol.
25% of the population are on some kind of non-prescription drug. | |

Is that an opinion or can you back that up with facts?
Because in a straw poll of people I know that have had to seek help with mental proplems either as outpatients or inpatients, out of eight only one was addicted to drugs and / or drink. | |

It amazes me the amount of people who are "woe is me" these days. Only in their teens and early 20's were some of these popping E's like smarties....the warnings of how you'd be in later life were no mystery!!!!!
Maybe some of these sufferers should go to schools etc and give talks to show them "don't turn out like me"
And I include myself as a binge drinker, before any of you say what a heartless Kent I sound. |  | | |

Extremely ignorant attitude that Dicky.
Do you realise that young children are affected by this terrible illness?
When you hear of someone suffering with cancer, do you say to them they shouldn’t have smoked, worked in toxic environments etc? No of course you don’t, you’re sympathetic to them.
Educate yourself. [Post edited 2 May 2018 8:09]

I’m very well educated in it.
So cancer is off limits, but those suffering with mental ill health are fair game? I’m genuinely interested in how you think like that?
This is why there is still a massive stigma attached to mental health. | |

Yes let's keep cancer way off limits.
Of course there's a stigma attached to mental health, I work with people who genuinely struggle but by Christ there's some who don't half make lives hard for themselves.
What are,we as society supposed to do? Stop our lives to help those that make poor judgements? Government funding being slashed left, right and centre, overworked and underpaid carers etc
I'm not perfect, I'm not an expert I will freely admit that.
But who is?
Couldn't we all just walk away from.our lives claiming it's too much?
What about our forefathers in this great city of ours?
Bombed out of their houses, many left dead......did they sign on the sick?
Generations later there are many who claim they are Swansea through and through but they can't even tell you what year how.city was blitzed.
We have had it very easy, years ago if you were in debt you went to jail or went bust - ruined!!!
Nowadays it's almost applauded to be a failure!!!!
Hey I could go on but I'm ignorant aren't I? | | | |
| Incident in High Street tonight on 10:05 - May 2 with 3680 views | BLAZE |
Yes you are. Stop digging for god's sake.
For what it's worth I've never touched drugs and can count on my hands the times I've even had a drink.
I've thought about turning to drugs though on more than one occasion. Anything to escape the mental anguish I've been wrapped up in. I can completely see why others may turn to drink and drugs if in a similar situation. Thankfully I have a supportive family and have been well looked after by the NHS. Not everyone can say that though and are left to their own devices. God knows where I'd be if that was me - not around possibly. |  | | |

I was telling my wife about this incident yesterday.
She said “there’s probably a full moon you get things like this every time there’s a full moon.”
I looked it up,there was. 😮 |  |

You are a bit ignorant.. but I won't take offence..
If you go to a pub and you're a fresh faced youngster with half a brain.. you can tell the majority of 40+ year olds are f*cked.. and if you'd ask them, they'd probably say they're f*cked themselves.
When they get to this age.. they realise they're old as f*ck.. it's like mid-life crisis stage.
Just sitting here and reading your posts is enough.. it's like you all get desperate and rather snappy..
It's like "I've lived longer than you youngsters, I am an invincible god" type attitude.. and sometimes we just stare, and wonder what he's going on about..
I think it's the desperation to become young again.. you all have acceptance issues, that you're getting old..
Ask the pensioners.. it's about acceptance, and if you can't accept it, you'll get miserable and snappy.. I've seen it at first hand how snappy you can be.
You might hate me because I'm younger, but I'll get old an all.. | |

Sadly, you 'get things like this' every day, whatever the phase of the moon. | | | |
