My rant was because I needed a service (I probably still do), I didn't get one despite having paid taxes and NI all my adult life. I would fully endorse a properly run NHS but, just as it is immoral for services to be available only to those who can afford them, it is immoral to take money off hard working people and then refuse them a service. All I want is a fair bite of the cherry. Like I said before if I lived 10 miles down the road, I'd get help.

Hi theoriginal.
Thanks for taking time to reply.
I missed the frustration in your post and only saw thr political.
I get defensive quitr easily,and am incrrasingly drspairinh about the future for kids today,as it seems to be a small number who don't have tostruggle.
I agree with your comment on taxes.
How about we tax the drug companies and this would pay for staff training or more drop ins etc.
I once ssif way back when i started my menyal health nurse training, that friends should let me know ig i brcomr cynical and hard about the issues i work with.
This hasn't happened,but if anything i have gone the othet way,and becomemore sensitive,and despairing of those around me who seem to see themselved as above having mental health problems themselves or their children.
I hope you find a decent therapist, it seems to be the personal style which helps most.
