J (my partner who suffered complex MH) died at the end of October. I haven't had the heart to provide an update. I needed to share some thoughts, it also affects how I post here as a critic of MH services. https://t.co/uzt2Lzhtss or https://t.co/xGChYA6haP

@MentalHealthCop @DrEm_79 My late partner was threatened on several occassions by police and MH professionals that she would be charged with wasting police time when acting upon or even sharing that she was suicidal.

Tory fake news. It's not "10,000 more staff". Since 2010, at least 6,700 #mentalhealth nurses & Drs cut https://t.co/mqTR8lhaY1

@LPTnhs This was up in a local CMHT patient waiting area. How about a pledge for the patients?
