The safety net provided by NHS that's there for physical illness is not there for folks with #mentalhealth problems; it's like pre-NHS era.

If you're feeling hot & bothered or out of sorts, imagine sitting with your feet in this little river pool in the shade of the trees with the cool water trickling over you 😊.

I've been living in a state of increasing fear of review forms for my Universal Credit claim dropping on the doormat. It's way past the stated date for review. Every review so far has tipped me into a severe relapse of #mentalillness, & I never manage to recover fully in between.

I never managed to access a food bank, even when the DWP had stopped all my benefits & I had zero income - because I was entirely too unwell to navigate my way through the system. I tried, but you really do need your wits about you to access a food bank, or someone to help you.
A lot of people in LCWRA are too ill to go to a foodbank. So you know how organised you have to be mentally to do this? . To speak to someone to get a referral? . To leave the home? . To go? . This is not possible even were it ethical for many especially those with MH probs.
