I'm so sorry to hear you are currently struggling so much Davey. As someone who also suffers from similar issues I know how much of a brave step it was to reach out for help, and to make this honest and heart-felt video. I'm shocked and saddened that the help you asked for was not there when you needed it the most. Treatment of mental health needs to be able prevention not reaction. You should not have to harm yourself to get the help you need. For some at that stage it could be too late to help them. In my opinion, that is not acceptable. This needs to change.
I love your honesty. I personally feel that today's society creates the majority of mental ill health. I feel we should all be doing more for our mental well-being but 'life' gets in the way?! That statement blows my mind because surely we should live and enjoy it. But today's society is all about work/progress/succeed. What happened to being one with nature and out emotions?! Had a shitty experience with a counsellor recently too but I have decided that is on them, not me. It is however a step back for my confidence and makes me feel even more alone. I'm not on any social media Dave but message me.on here and I'm more than happy to chat. Feel we could share and support each other. Take care of yourself and never dim your light x
Davey I've heard this story in the Brighton area so many times. How such a area of wealth have such high levels of homelessness and poor mental provision? I myself had to wait four weeks and pay £60 a session just to get fast track counseling. We need to protect amazing people like future Davey and future me. This should be the main focus of Westminster not spending billions on bombs and negotiating trade deals. We are fighting a war. We need to lift some research bans.
Dave, please do not become a statistic for male suicide. The services that were meant to be there, were not. But as people, we are all there for each other. It is a case of connecting. Your video really hit home with me and I'm sat here at 2:45am and feeling way less hopeless than I did. Thank you x
