To be finding the Labour government really hard on my mental health (ironically given Wes Streeting's latest)

[Everythingisnumbersnow]

Why can't they talk about reforms and improvements without having a go at ordinary people?

Is mental illness over diagnosed (as Streeting claims) or is modern life just really really shit and a lot of us are unwell as a result?

im currently waiting to see a new private psychiatrist because my old one took on an NHS contract and now is totally unusable (no need to even mention the NHS services available, we all know the score there). I work and I don't expect any special treatment but it would be nice if the bloody government stopped slagging me off for trying to remain functional.

I’m just thrilled that labour are fucking over everyone and not just the private school sector and business owners.

I’ll be very pleased if fewer people can claim benefits.

the glee from some posters regards to PS has been abhorrent.

It’s despicable to suggest people are liars just because its easier than acknowledging and fixing the root issues.

Maybe it needs both? reducing eligibility for benefits will release funds to allocate to medical support? can't you see that there isn't much left to squeeze out of taxes? economy is chocking and unless tax burden is reduced we will see a major recession.
We need to shift the tune as a society and start talking about resilience.

Seriously, people saying that life in the UK is so shit that their mental health is suffering need to go to rehab in Ukraine or Gaza, their anxieties and depressions will be cured in a heartbeat on return back home.
