Comment to 'A SPECIAL POST For You! Please Read!' by heyurs
hello, thank you for this post. I feel stigmatised, by my landlord (the biggest slur against me, I feel a discrimination and just about to have it confirmed, I suspect, by a letter due shortly.
I suffer with mental health issues and have been lied about my a (so-called) Care Coordinator - employed as a mental health staff member, who put false diagnosis and blatant lies in a discharge letter. Consequently, I am now forced to have a very stressful Assessment meeting (at home, I'm housebound by lack of sleep, relating to the neighbour abuse I suffer) which is due this coming Monday. I have arranged for (or rather she has been referred to me) an Advocate to accompany me. A lady and I discussed on Wednesday on the phone, the issues to raise at the meeting.
In summary: I know life is not all sweetness and light but I feel mine has been sour for far too long.
My honest response to your honest post - I am not a believer in god because I prayed at age 7 for rescue from abusive father and none ever came.
Over 22 years I was left suffering with no support. As you might imagine, over the years my thoughts of whatever i was praying to, have not been positive.
What I was told to expect if I prayed, and what consequently never happened, has stayed with me. Call me cynic, call me realistic, call me disappointed ..whatever. All I know is I never got help. Both in that sense and that year when I told mother, in the person sense. (If this is too heavy I apologise). Counselling is another topic, and if possible, I may share that later.
However, I appreciate your offer of support. Support is rare to receive, so thank you.
