@Lynn17814347 @StigmaB47868 Oh do fuck off. Not all mental illness stems from abuse some are just disorders that need treating. Is the treatment we have today perfect? No is it a damm site better than what we used to have and therefore shows progress? Yes

And what the letters need to contain? Any response on this would be appreciated

@SF_England Hi. I am applying to restart uni in September 2026. To do this I need to apply for Compelling Personal Reasons and DSA. My CPN needs to know a couple of things before he can write the evidence for me. Could you please let me know who he should address the letter(s) to

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@asifamhp Hope you're ok and if you aren't, hope things look up soon

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@Dragon_Age_Fans Nah. Apart from my first play through I always roleplay. So when I play Inqusiton now it's not 'what option would I pick' it's 'what option would be Inquisitor pick'

@Gilb0803 @NatashaMDay @ACouchois I mean I never asked for sympathy, and I reckon my life's turned out alright given the rather rough hand I've been dealt at times.

I don't want sympathy for myself as I don't need it. I want recognition and compassion that for some people lift isn't so simple. I'm alright myself

@nuwandiss I've got a friend with bipolar disorder who's just been evicted due to not paying her rent in a 5 month manic episode. She's having to live a in a council funded hotel due to lack of the mental health and social care in her area

@Gilb0803 @NatashaMDay @ACouchois On a bad self employment month I rely on UC to top up my income. If I need A&E out of regular hours it's a £40 taxi to my nearest A&E. So that's suddenly a £90 trip (not including getting back). If that comes just before my payday, I'm really gonna struggle to find that £90

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@Gilb0803 @NatashaMDay @ACouchois And what about those who genuinely need a GP/A&E visit but wouldn't be able to afford it? I'd argue the majority of people who go probably believe they need the visit.

Since 2015, Wes Streeting has accepted £372,000 from private health care links!

This should be a illegal for a health secretary in charge of the NHS.

There’s a clear conflict of interest & raises concerns re: probity & integrity

Who is the health secretary really working for?

@nuwandiss I've been admitted to an (excellent) crisis house several times for a short admission when chronic suicidality has got to unmanageable levels. I don't see why short admissions to a good crisis house or an inpatient ward can't be appropriate for safety at times

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@nuwandiss @nikkijfox @medicalmodelbri @iDrSunny I think it's important to recognise admission can have its harms (as you do) especially if it's a detainment. What winds me up is blanket approaches some people have. I've heard it said they won't admit people with certain diagnosis cause they don't do well

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@bananatransit @ishsulin Of course the government can fight back. Then the Drs are perfectly entitled to emigrate/go private in the UK/leave the field completely.

Personally I think that would be rather disastrous in the long run

It’s terrifying being a disabled person in the UK today. Demonised in the media; society thinking it’s openly acceptable to physically or verbally abuse us. No one is immune from becoming seriously unwell. A life changing disability. Having a break down.

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@LifeInSalt Wow. Do you realise how much of a dickhead that second statement makes you sound?

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@des_gree43203 @RachelCDailey Question. Have you always been this much of a dickhead. Or is it a recent development?

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@LavenderBlazed *can not fab. Dunno how that typo happened

[Peter @FereldanWizard]

@LavenderBlazed Ah fab only help with the breaking up bit am afraid
