Indebted to Wren for this article + others on . Reflects my experience so much. ‘I think it is likely I will die by suicide one day + my inquest will simply record that I refused to engage with MH services therefore nothing could have been done to help me.’

There’s a real problem with the assumption that a successful intervention in mental health should lead to the person accessing NHS services less. Like some people will need support for a long time and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean the people who worked with them were unsuccessful.

I don’t mean for this to be a MH services hating account. I literally work in MH services. I am fully aware of what goes on on both sides of the fence. I tweet about my experiences. If there was more positive stuff I could say, it would be said. I fully appreciate there are >

In case anyone needed any more evidence of how an EUPD/BPD diagnosis on someone’s records means fuck all and rarely comes from a meaningful psychiatric/psychological/biopsychosocial assessment

Here are the “behaviours” that the ward matron, “based on her experience”, unilaterally decided I had EUPD based on. Tearful, distressed at change (I’m autistic), annoyed (???) and calling a solicitor. Calling a solicitor warrants an EUPD “diagnosis”, now. @Shrink_at_Large

asked 14 times, actually opening the door to the office when pts knock because they have a basic request for things like towels or water, writing accurate notes instead of copying and pasting from yesterday, running some activities with pts that are a step beyond plonking them >

Fascinating to see the staff perspective on this vs the patient perspective. Not responding to Sierra’s form of communication of distress was utilising an ‘opportunity to empower her’. I wonder how empowered she felt. Or if she felt like once again, how she feels doesn’t matter.

Here are some Oxehealth “stories from the ward”. This is likely what it’s *really* used for - stopping patients with a PD Dx from “attention seeking” by using “behavioural” approaches. This is why it’s proving so popular within MH Trusts. We see you & your “positive risk taking”

When I say my time is taken up by disability admin I mean this is what the last 48 hrs has included: - 2 half hour appts, 0.5-1 hr travel away from me - ordering repeat meds - PIP enquiry line - GP phone line to book a blood test (they texted me instructing me to) (Continued)

Thinking of the teacher who first picked up on my poor MH. I remember her trying to give me hope that things could improve. I was unable to believe her, in the grips of severe depression as an emotionally illiterate, silenced 13 year old. I know what she was talking about now. 🌤
