Venting My history of not being taken seriously

[rigsid]

You still get by so it's not bad enough for us to do anything.
Then
You don't self harm so it's not bad enough for us to do anything.
Then
You don't want to die so it's not bad enough for us to do anything.
Then
You have a method but aren't going to kill yourself right now so it's not bad enough for us to do anything.

It's going to be suuuuuch a shock for them when I wind up dead. Mental health care is a joke here.

it feels like people often look for any reason they can to not believe. its really sad. when a person is dead they will say why didnt they reach out and get help but so often people did try and got ignored or told it couldnt really be that bad

I thought you might've been from the UK. Mental health services suck absolute ass over here, its genuinely horrible

You could literally call NHS 111 option 2 climbing up a building to jump off it and they'd ask if you were at the top yet and then hang up, and tell you to call 999 when you're at the top.

Does anyone know what a last cry for help is?

I literally recently had a nurse downplay my self harm because the cuts were shallow like ???

that's terrible. how can someone say that? saying that cut isn't deep enough to take serious, feels like saying they have to do it deeper to get help, that's an awful thing to tell someone. i wish all the people who tell me "just ask for help" or "you need to get help" could see what that help is like. often it's nothing because the person you ask for help doesn't take it serious. i am so sorry that nurse said that to you. people should take things like that serious always, not just when it's the worst they've ever seen.

Thank you for the kind words.

It was especially upsetting because I was driven to it in the first place because a doctor told me he couldn't do anything for me because I hadn't self harmed yet. It's like they were taunting me into getting worse.

Made me realise nobody's going to be able to help my condition at this point and it's why I'm not listening to their anti suicide nonsense.

i've heard every one of these things:/ i really don't get the point of it all
they're waiting for you to die so they can make a new "recommendation". the pro life campaigners too so they can blame it all on sasu

"You are not actively in the literal process of it at the time of us having this conversation, so you're fine, that'll be a couple hundred bucks, thanks."

I had a family member literally drive to an impatient clinic and BEG to be admitted, literal tears in his eyes, and was turned away because he wasn't brought by ambulance. He's dead now.
