    right. 5 years ago I was put on a waiting list for mental health treatment which every expert I speak to tells me I desperately need. Earlier this year I was told that I somehow reached the end of the waiting list without going on to the 'getting treatment' bit, essentially because they are and have been under resourced for 15 years now, and because I'm not a danger to anyone else (besides being insufferable in online comment threads) they can't justify wasting their time on rehabilitating me ... tbf I probably have nothing left to offer society anyway

    It just makes me mad, not least because I sympathise with the people who have to deliver the news that I have been lied to and abandoned - it really can't be easy to still be in the NHS at this point. But oh my would I give anything to speak to the decision makers for 5 minutes. (Given that I arbitrarily chose such a small number of minutes to make my point, I would just call them arseholes over and over again for 5 minutes - one for every year I tried to hold it together in the hopeful knowledge I would get the help I need)

    I've never met a conspiracy theory I didn't like. Except flat earth. The only conspiracy there is the "powers that be" seem to be either pushing it or at least allowing it to flourish, because it does a great job of tarring everyone in the truth community with the same dumb brush.
