So ... full honesty ... I am "frontline staff".
I am in the ambulance service, I go to people with mental heath crisis for my job.
But I've been in a mental health crisis for a long time. I have been a mental health patient since I was in primary school, I've been suicidal since then too. I'm wondering how many people here are in the same boat. Who here tells people daily that it will all be okay/ there is so much to live for yet doubts that it's true ...
I've always been "unwell" but it's worsened lately as I'm so much more aware that MH in this country is fucked, and my nihilism is In overdrive. The service I work for is basically an abusive relationship, and I struggle to go on.
Who else is frontline and hates lying to people about hope ?
