Without going into detail, over the last 5 years, I’ve suffered some very traumatic experiences, from being sacked twice due to my poor health, to several spinal surgeries, including Consultants who point blank refused to entertain that there could be anything wrong with me until things got very serious and I was at death’s door. Last year, I had an impacted bowel which led to faecal vomiting, all from spinal nerve damage. To put it bluntly, my body is buggered. I’ll probably never work again.
I went through all of this alone and my psychological state has suffered massively. I’ve been BEGGING for help for over 4 years now and no one within the NHS knew what to do with me so although I’ve been assessed more times than you’d probably believe and I’m yet to receive any treatment. After a 4 year battle, it was agreed that I needed urgent trauma therapy from my local NHS psychology team. They promised me I would start therapy by mid-Feb because they realised how many cock-ups I’ve been through which was all the fault of people within the NHS and they knew I needed to trust they’d do as they said. I’ve still not had my first therapy appointment.
HOW can these two whinge on international tv about ANYTHING they’ve been through when they have access to ANYTHING they might require. I simply don’t believe Meghan was in dire straits of depression or suicidal ideation. I know exactly what that looks like and how it feels and I simply don’t believe her. If it were true, I believe the palace, if not her husband, with all of his MH charity contacts, would have pulled out all the stops to help her. Last thing they’d want is another Diana scenario. Little did they realise they were dealing with the woman who seems to think she IS the next iteration of Diana. I should feel apoplectic rage at the piss they’re taking out of people like me, who are surviving alone, in significant pain, on benefits, under another national lockdown but I’m actually so tired of everything, it’s making me feel even more hopeless and ‘what’s the point’. If this is the world today, I’m not sure I want to be in it. It’s much too painful. I hope they’re both delighted with themselves.
ETA, sorry, Re-reading this is a terribly woe-is-me, whining post. Just trying to make the point that some of us could be considered real victims of circumstance, but not those two. Definitely not those two.
