  1. I lost a mate to starvation last year because the NHS couldn't help him. He took himself to hospital, saw a mental health specialist and kept in overnight. Because he had his faculties (What rational mind encourages starvation!?) and was an adult, he was released. The NHS told him to to ring a number if he felt worse. They should of sectioned him as he told them that he was starving, living in his car and wasn't sure what he'd do once released. 1 week later I got a call from him. When I got to him (He was hiding in Wales, I was in England), he'd suffered a stroke and was sobbing, crying for his dad. My friend died at 24 years old, before the Ambulance got to him. Not once did anyone think that maybe, we shouldn't let the lad be left to own devices.

  2. Never an example of how it should be done, just evidence it can be done - Kudos fella, that's a great sentiment!

  3. You got this man! Life's a struggle regardless of what you chose to/not to do, may as well pick your struggle and live the way you want to live. Don't compare yourself to anyone else and you'll find that your self-talk becomes less negative.
