There is a support group for mental health sufferers in my area of London, Sutton run by all non medical inexperienced staff. I'm sure they mean well but their lack of understanding often puts very vulnerable people in danger as they tend to bully and push the members around. Instyead of helping them to cope with life in society they belittle them and treat them like second class citizens. These clubs seem not to have much monitoring and I have never seen any kind of inspection. No-one speaks to the members. The staff are aloof ans sit in their office chatting all day. Surely these placersw should be subject to some kind of inspection and regulation.

I have so much difficulty facing losses of any kind. Finality brings grief and fear and I relive the loss of my dad all over again. I was 8 years old when he killed himself and, today, it hurts as much as it ever did.
